ABOUT THIS BOOK: Tim Parchikov has developed a conceptual approach out of his travel experiences, capturing the world with an uneasy and curious eye, rendering it at the same time hyper-real and yet pictorial. The Suspense project is the visual manifesto of the new "lost" generation of young people who, at the turn of the century, acquired complete freedom of information and movement as well as the illusion of all-pervasive communication, yet forfeited an integrated system of value judgement and were unexpectedly confronted by complete isolation. Their lives turned into a lonely journey in search of lost self-identification. Any halting point and encounter with reality during this journey became a form of suspense.(Publisher).

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Returns to Beirut by Gabriele Basilico, in the words of the curator Giovanna Calvenzi is the book that "should be [.] "definitive" to remember a deep and passionate relationship that has linked Gabriele Basilico to the city of Beirut, which over the years has also become one of the central cornerstones of his commitment to photography. In addition to a long work in the archive of re-reading of all that Basilico has achieved, "accomplices" of the various journeys have also been invited to exercise their memories. The wide selection of black and white and colour photographs is introduced by texts by Gabriele Basilico, Giovanna Calvenzi, Tanino Musso, Fouad Elkoury, Gabriel Bauret, Christian Caujolle, Alessandro Ferrario, Rita Capezzuto and a Chronology by Farian Sabahi.Thus, page after page, we discover the work carried out by Gabriele Basilico on the occasion of four photographic missions to Beirut in 1991, 2003, 2008 and 2011.In 1991 he was involved by the Hariri Foundation and the Lebanese writer Dominique Edde in a project that aimed at the photographic documentation of the central area of the city of Beirut at the end of the devastating Civil war that had torn the city apart for fifteen years. With him are called five other photographers: Raymond Depardon, Josef Koudelka, Robert Frank, Rene Burri and Fouad Elkoury. Basilico moves in the center of the devastated and still undermined capital with the gaze that has characterized all his production, attentive to the transformations of the contemporary landscape, to form and identity of cities and metropolises from an architectural point of view, of course, but above all social. Since then, hewill decorate Beirut three more times. In 2003 on behalf of the architecture magazine Domus, directed by Stefano Boeri, to record the reconstruction of the city through urban views corresponding to the photos taken in the 1991. In 2008, when on the occasion of the inauguration of one of his exhibitions at the Planet Discovery Center continues to record the reconstruction of the city. And finally in 2011, when the Hariri Foundation called him again to document the Beirut rebuilt together with Fouad Elkoury, Klavdij Sluban and Robert Polidori. The photographer's eye thus rests on a city that changes in its appearance and soul, linking itself to that of Basilico who will write: "The practice of returning creates a singular sentimental disposition: like waiting for a desired appointment, an awakening of memory for places, objects, people, as if the engine of a machine stopped for some time were rekindled. For Beirut it was even more." Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. First (Italian) edition, first printing. Hardcover. Photographically illustrated paper-covered boards; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Loretta Lux. Essay (in Italian) by Francine Prose. Includes a chronology, exhibition history and collections. 96 pp., with 44 four-color plates. 11-1/4 x 9-7/8 inches. New in publisher's shrink wrap. From the publisher: "Though the sense of realism in German photographer Loretta Lux's striking portraits of children remains eerily intact, Lux does not strive to create faithful photographic representations of her young subjects. Instead, each image--invariably comprised of a lone child in a sparse landscape--is painstakingly composed and manipulated to create psychically charged explorations of the nature of childhood and the process of self-discovery. Originally trained as a painter, Lux continues to draw influence from paintings by old masters such as Velasquez, Goya and Runge. This influence is especially apparent in Lux's compositions. After carefully choosing the models, costumes and backdrops--sometimes using her own paintings--she digitally combines and enhances each element to form meticulously structured tableaux. The consistently forlorn expressions of her models combined with the hyperreality of the image create portraits that transcend their subjects and remind us that childhood is as chaotic and multidimensional as any other part of life.".

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Gucci Prospettive 1 is curated by Stefano Collicelli Cagol, director of the Luigi Pecci Center for Contemporary Art in Prato. The artists tell the story of Milan, exploring new spaces and selves beyond traditional narratives.It's a story of everything, again, but this time expressed through joy. -Sabato De Sarno In occasion of his debut fashion show for the House, Creative Director Sabato De Sarno introduces the first volume of the Gucci Prospettive series underscoring the dialogue between art and fashion."This is a love letter to Milan and to its art," begins curator Stefano Collicelli Cagol, (PhD), director of the Luigi Pecci Center for Contemporary Art in Prato as he introduces the artworks after Sabato De Sarno's initial manifesto. Together, they selected artists who narrate fragments of the city's cultural and creative heritage from the post-war period to the present day. From Lucio Fontana's slashed canvases to Pietro Agostini, Riccardo Banfi, Mirko Albini, and Nicola Guiducci's photos of Milanese nightclubs and poetic provocations by Sara Leghissa, Vincenzo Agnetti, and Giulia Niccolai, the works recount Milan as a place of beauty and carnality-beyond traditional narratives to imagine new spaces and new selves.To celebrate the launch alongside the fashion show, a temporary gallery on Via Fiori Chiari 5 in Brera, Milan-known as the artists' quarter of the city-showcased the works of Cristiano Rizzo, Martino Santori, Noura Tafeche, and Valerio Eliogabalo Torrisi, selected by Sabato De Sarno in collaboration with the Brera Academy of Fine Arts where they studied.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A long journey through war fields from Irish photographer, Ivor Pickett.The word which returns in the work of Ivor Prickett - Irish photographer, born in 1983, one of the most interesting looks in contemporary photography - is home, 'house'. From 2006 onwards, in his images that record the turmoil and vicissitudes of the various war fronts that have shocked and still shock Europe, for many people home is a distant mirage, an irreparable loss, a place of memory where the hundreds of displaced persons of the war will perhaps never be able to return, the dream of those who are now forced to make do with collection centres, refugee camps, momentary accommodations that risk then becoming tragic and absolute permanence.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Artist Signed EditionAn extraordinary historical and anthropological study of Italy through striking and fascinating photographs.Between 1952 and 1972, the Italian government implemented a land reform policy in a few key agrarian centers of the countryside, known as the Riforma Fondiaria. Funded by the Marshall Plan, the program placed land in the possession of impoverished families, but did so without the infrastructure necessary to make the small holdings sustainable. This failure brought about a mass migration into the developing industrial North, leaving dozens upon dozens of post-war, often cast-concrete structures abandoned in the now machine cultivated fields.In 2017, photographer Steven Seidenberg began exploring the landscapes, material culture, and remaining structures of this failed program in the vast agricultural areas of Basilicata and Puglia. The resultant series of images, collected for the first time in this volume, is not simply documentary, but presents the imperiled remnants of these absent lives in the form of hauntingly beautiful, painterly compositions. Again and again, these photographs reveal a poetic fragility that compels a primordial empathy in the viewer, drawing our attention to the lives destroyed through the Riforma, and thereby evoking the elemental complexity of loss and its aftermath the world over.The accompanying text -Distant Voices: On Steven Seidenberg's Architecture of Silence - brings together essays by art historians, critics, curators, architects, philosophers, anthropologists, and archaeologists contextualizing the images and exploring the power and reach of the photographs. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
