Mirjam Wirz – Sonidos

Rollo Press 2019 ISBN 9783906213293 Acqn 30081
Pb 21x29cm 144pp 55ills £27

Mirjam Wirz's 'Sonidos' is part of an extensive research project and ongoing publication series
revolving around the culture of cumbia music and its specific forms of representation. While
previous books have dealt with the genre's complex social structure and imagery, this one turns
the spotlight on the architecture of Mexican sound systems, documenting their versatile
configurations through photography. The social potentiality inherent in the equipment, which Wirz
usually depicts in empty rooms and on vacant streets or sidewalks - fully operational but not
actively in use - underlies these images of imposing speaker stacks, gaping bass bins, and
snaking cables.

Kazal - The Memories Of Kazal. A Photographic Approach

Andre Frere Editions 2019 ISBN 9791092265811 Acqn 29636
Hb 20x28cm 200pp col ills £34.95

'Kazal' is a photographic project that acknowledges the troubled history of Francois Duvalier's
dictatorship in Haiti by telling the tragedy of Kazal, a village north of Port-au-Prince. Military and
militia crushed an uprising of peasants angered by the regime's abusive taxes in spring 1969,
forbidding them from taking water from the river that flowed through their rural commune. The
massacre perpetrated there was later erased from official memory. Over the course of three
years, six Haitian photographers from the post-Duvalier generation created a dialogue with the
inhabitants of Kazal to interrogate their memories of places and events, mapping a long, complex
personal journey.

Marie L. Borgia - Encounters With Amnesia

Andre Frere Editions 2019 ISBN 9791092265835 Acqn 30068
Hb 20x25cm 120pp col ills £34

Marie L. Borgia's project touches the most engaged part of therapeutic art: to show a dignified
portrait of those living with amnesia. She selects images that seem to be burning with an inner
light, overexposed by the omissions in them. She produces light-grey prints that appear to have
been created practically inadvertently. To properly document her subjects' everyday lives, which
always take place in the moment, she remains always within their comfort zone. The
compositions fragment an expression or disposition, the sketch of a face. With these carefully
constructed images she is able to give form to their feelings, to their emotions and, ultimately, to
the singularity of their being.

Brice Krummenacker - Robert Maurice Debois

Andre Frere Editions 2019 ISBN 9791092265828 Acqn 30069
Hb 25x31cm 86pp col ills £38.25

This book project comes from here and elsewhere. Comprising a collection of photographs made
by the human named Brice Krummenacker, it tells the adventures of our hero: Robert Maurice
Debois, the classiest being in the Milky Way, interstellar traveller, and extraordinary alien. Upon
arrival on our planet, the space invader soon realised that the conquest of this world, where
reality is increasingly virtual, could only happen via social networks. He enlists a photographer to
open various accounts - Facebook, Instagram, even Tinder - and makes himself real in the
collective imagination. Incongruous, strange, and unexpected are the adjectives that best
describe this trip and this book.

Tutta La Famiglia - Portrait Of A Sicilian Cafe In America

Lecturis 2019 ISBN 9789462263352 Acqn 30017
Hb 29x24cm 80pp col ills £39

Paul Cary Goldberg started photographing in Caffe Sicilia in the spring of 2007. He had been
working at this corner establishment located in the port city of Gloucester, Massachusetts, for
eight years, and knew many of the regulars: mostly men of Sicilian descent. He had first brought
his new digital photo camera to the cafe to become familiar with it. After using film for 30 years, it
seemed to him that the cafe, with its people, activities, and intimate space, offered an ideal place
to learn. He soon discovered how complex and rich this small, modest cafe is, and how deeply
culture is woven into the personality and life of the people. A deep mutual respect and affection
arose.

Bec Parsons - Lone Dove

Perimeter Editions 2019 ISBN 9780987637192 Acqn 30098
Hb 17x24cm 160pp col ills £39.95

Bec Parsons has built an international career around her sensitive negotiations of the ever-
elusive space between photographer and muse. Chiefly known for her work in fashion, the
photographer's output radiates with a rare collaborative dynamic. Both her photographs and her
subjects share agency and voice; their underpinning is one of connection, subtlety, and
spontaneity. 'Lone Dove', takes this collaborative quality to new depths. Shifting her gaze to
young model and champion equestrienne Lauren Devaney, Parsons joined Devaney and her
family on their biannual pilgrimage from their home in Arizona to the Music Meadows ranch in
Westcliffe, Colorado.

Marcelo Brodsky - Poetics Of Resistance

B. Kuehlen Verlag 2019 ISBN 9783874485098 Acqn 30102
Hb 31x25cm 134pp col ills £45

Marcelo Brodsky's practice is situated at the crossroads between visual arts, poetry, and human
rights activism. Using images from documentary archives, he manipulates them by adding
handwritten comments and highlighting details with bright colours, stimulating a dialogue between
the pre-existing narratives conveyed by the original photographs and his own interpretations.
'Poetics of Resistance' features two major groups of works created between 2014 and 2019, on
the international protests of 1968 and on the process of decolonisation in Africa in the 20th
century, plus ongoing inquiries into anti-Franco resistance in Spain and today's urgent topic of
migrants and refugees.

Maryam Zandi - The Government Of 80

Nazar Research Cultural Institute 2019 ISBN 9786001522710 Acqn 30226
Hb 24x31cm 150pp col ills £54

Following the publication of 'Revolution 79' (2014), renowned documentary photographer Maryam
Zandi presents a new volume to continue its visual narrative and portray the events which took
place after the Iranian Revolution. Starting in the early days following the victory of the revolution,
it covers the ensuing cultural revolution and protests of the era, when masses of people took to
the streets of Tehran and rival factions struggled to consolidate power in the aftermath of
economic and government collapse. This book is also a reminder of the numerous slogans,
placards, banners, and graffiti of those days, as well as the graphic symbols that were used
during the revolution.
