Hardback. Condition: Good. In 2018, the VII Foundation asked more than a dozen renowned reporters and photojournalists to revisit countries with which they had become achingly familiar during times of brutal conflict. The task was to see peace through the prism of their journalistic experience; to survey familiar towns and villages; to reconnect with women, men, soldiers, civilians, statesmen, and students who had survived the conflict or grown up in the postwar society; to discover what the lived experience of peace feels like. To augment this reportage, the VII Foundation sought input from academics and peacemakers. And they invited citizens of those countries to give their very personal narratives, in their own voices. Hard edges were not softened nor unpalatable impressions deleted. They wanted to show the truth as seen and experienced by those that lived and those that reported on seemingly intractable civil wars in Bosnia and Herzegovina Cambodia, Colombia, Lebanon, Northern Ireland, and Rwanda. The result is Imagine: Reflections on Peace - a curation of searing images and trenchant essays that show both micro and macro views of peace, with its uneven degrees of economic success, political stability, and social harmony. In this stunning collection, worldrenown journalists and authors take us into societies that have suffered searing conflict - and survived. Photographic essays make the stakes during war and peace grippingly palpable. Compelling backstories about negotiations, tales of survival, and accounts of the search for inner peace make the big picture personal. Imagine offers a rare glimpse into the unvarnished story of peace, a window into what it takes for societies and individuals to move forward after unspeakable brutality.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. FINALIST OF THE 2024 LUCIE PHOTO BOOK PRIZE"An epic new book. the photographs, often in jarring juxtaposition, underscore the cruel bargain of Western 'progress'-and the paradoxical damage brought on by a half century of conservation and preservation efforts." -David Friend, Vanity FairA groundbreaking investigation into wildlife conservation, environmental transformation, and efforts to preserve Africa's natural wilderness by French-Madagascan documentary photographer Guillaume Bonn.Paradise Inc. offers an unvarnished glimpse into the realities of Africa's ecosystems and our collective future, as the disruptions of climate change, economic expansion, and environmental efforts reshape the world before our eyes.For decades, Bonn has told the stories that the world is afraid to hear, championing the silenced and refusing to turn away from the truth. Paradise Inc. is the culmination of twenty years dedicated to documenting the last days of Africa's vast natural landscapes, where countless expeditions have taken the photographer deep across nearly every country on the continent. Far from tired stereotypes, "greenwashing" efforts, and ready-made solutions, Paradise Inc. shines an unblinking light onto the paradoxes, consequences, and truths that lurk in plain sight behind the environmental "paradise" in Africa.Featuring an introduction by world-renowned journalist Jon Lee Anderson and foreword by founder of Across Maasai Land Initiative and Maasai elder Ezekiel Ole Katato, Paradise Inc. continues the work Bonn began as a player in the Africa State of Mind project (Thames & Hudson, 2020), now presented in its entirety.While beautifully and poignantly illustrated, Paradise Inc. is more than a visual journey. Nostalgic and critical, it is declaration of the photographer's love for Africa-which Jon Lee Anderson (The New Yorker) calls his "inescapable muse"-an expression of his fear that it might one day disappear, and an impassioned call to action. In this latest work, Bonn defies the cliches of a wildlife wonderland that haunt the collective imagination, instead asking uncompromising questions and inviting us to strive for sustainable solutions together.Born in Madagascar and raised in the Comoros Islands, Djibouti, and Kenya, Bonn brings a unique perspective rooted in his French and Malagasy heritage and diverse upbringing, exploring the idea of "Africanness" in his work. It is through this intimate duality that Paradise Inc. delivers its urgent critique, unveils nuances, and captures the thrill of being in the wild.

Spiral Bound. Condition: New. By photographing street scenes and episodes of everyday life, he has captured the extraordinary banality and ordinary singularity of a country that does not hesitate to mix genres and its alcohols with water. Whisky, sake, shochû and umeshu can all be served as mizuwari. This is a typically Japanese way of prolonging the intoxication and diluting the often burdensome daily routine, by increasing the number of nomikai, 'drinking get-togethers' organised between colleagues from the same company, the emblematic salarymen of the Archipelago.As a participant in these meetings in the bars of Golden Gai, Yurakusho and Shibuya, Bruno Labarbère got up close to the faces, tracked down the glances, observed the sleeping bodies until the early hours of the morning, and let himself be bewitched by the blurred shadows. A true immersion in Japanese society, this work offers a snapshot of its most typical features. All lovers of Japan will recognise it, and all others, whether or not they are fascinated by this elusive culture, will be able to discover it, unvarnished and unpretentious, to be consumed without moderation.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Almost thirty years after the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, photographer Fabrice Dekoninck has explored the most intimate aspects of the memory of those who survived the siege of Sarajevo, the ethnic cleansing of the Prijedor region, and the genocide in Srebrenica. Like a memory anthropologist, he documented the living memory of the war on the very sites where the events unfolded, in close contact with surviving witnesses.This long-term work paints a portrait of a Bosnian society traumatised by the legacy of the war, which, in the absence of historical truth, takes the risk of seeing it resurface. In the light of the return of war in Europe and the resurgence of nationalism worldwide, this book provides crucial insights into the risks posed to peace by instrumentalisation of war memories.
