Softcover. bw pictorial, glossy textured wraps w/ black printing; french flaps. 199 pgs w/ bw plates. "A Civil Rights Journey' presents the astonishing archive of Dr Doris Derby: photographer, activist, and professor of anthropology. Active throughout the Civil Rights Movements of the mid twentieth century in the southern United States, particularly Mississippi, Derby acted as a photographer, organiser and teacher, making photographs of the intimate and human side of the everyday struggle for survival and human rights. She photographed both the organisation of political events, meetings, and funerals, alongside the literacy, co-operative and community theatre programmes, many of which she founded, and encountered much danger and tragedy along the way. Here we see the speeches and protests that gave the movement its defining moments, as well as vital figures including Muhammad Ali, Alice Walker, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Jesse Jackson. We also see classrooms and church halls, doctors and secretaries: everyday scenes of joy, frustration, curiosity, and connection, in which the determination and collective actions and resolve and actions of the movement are equally expressed. This extensive volume presents Derby's images in sequences that between them document rural and urban poverty, offer lucid ethnographies of particular streets and families, track the day-to-day lives of African American children growing up in the Mississippi Delta, and bear witness to such pivotal events as the Jackson State University shooting, the funeral of Martin Luther King Jr., and the 1968 Democratic Convention. Derby's photographs offer us an invaluably rich portrait of a historical moment whose effects have defined today's world and issues a vital reassertion of the work that remains to be done. Artist photographer Hannah Collins has worked with Doris Derby to recount the events photographed in extensive texts which accompany the images"--World/Publisher's Description.

Softcover. Condition: Neu. 1. Auflage. Victor Burgin. Returning to Benjamin. London, MACK Books, 2022.195:126mm. 40S. 2 Abb. Or.-Brosch. ?In the mid-1930s, Walter Benjamin´s?The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction? posed the question of the relation of art to the dominant representational technology of his time: photography and film. With "Returning to Benjamin" Victor Burgin rereads Benjamin?s text. To return to the artwork essay today in the spirit in which it was written is to ask the same question in respect of the hegemonic representational technology of our own time: the digital. Benjamin found that the medium of photography and film had dissolved the auratic quality of art. Digital technology has dissolved the very category of ?medium? itself.?.

Stein is an American academic and cultural theorist living in Los Angeles. The interrelated topics she most often engages concern the multiple effects of documentary imagery, the politics of gender, and the status and meaning of black and white and color imagery on our perceptions, beliefs, even actions as consumers and citizens.".

Or.-Brosch. "Written by a psychoanalyst and a violin maker, Uneasy Listening is a dialogue between two very different kinds of professional listener: the former working with speech, the latter with musical instruments. Beginning as total strangers, Anouchka Grose and Robert Brewer Young embark on an engaging, entertaining, and winding meditation on communication that weaves together wide-ranging references from across psychoanalytic theory, philosophy, contemporary politics and culture. As they discuss the differences, similarities, and resonances between their practices, they run up against some of the illuminating difficulties of dialogue itself. The result is a kind of awkward duet in which two thinkers and practitioners accommodate, interrupt, and perplex each other in an attempt to say something about what listening means. ".

How is visibility achieved beyond the consensual categories of the mass media and the commodification of art? What models are there for the making and reception of photographic books and exhibitions that might cultivate an active spectatorship beyond boutique consumerism? These questions and more are discussed. in the light of signal events that have shaped the recent past.".

Hardback. Condition: New. Signed by the Photographer\n\nA Perpetual Season lays a photographic trail through a dream-like city, offering glimpses into a network of spaces that loom as silent witnesses to some forgotten order. Recurring concrete shapes and perplexed human beings punctuate the journey with a faintly elegiac tone which conjures up an inverted Arcadia, illuminated by the hopes and visions of a bygone era. This is fertile ground for a series of unsettling encounters which act as cryptic symptoms of an ominous presence â " a reversed staircase, an unreachable doorway, people frozen in precarious gestures, disturbed conversations.\n\nThis 'perpetual season' alludes to a self-contained pictorial space, and the naturalistic approach embedded in such photographic practice is a guise for the construction of a world that ultimately belies its own familiarity. The formal and thematic echoes running throughout the sequence can be viewed as transverse lines drawn within an apparent chaos, connecting discarded buildings with bewildered passers-by, decaying natural arrangements with enigmatic corridors. As each is seemingly doubled or reincarnated, they condense in this peculiar scope of light and space, like an ever-returning cross-section of a global cycle.\n\n \n\nPrinted linen hardback\n\nISBN: 978-1-910164-05-1.

"In late 1972, shortly after his twenty-seventh birthday, as his career was beginning to take off, Lewis Baltz conducted an interview . . . with himself."The self-interview came at a moment when the tyro artist was determinedly positioning himself beyond the circles of California photography that he felt had shown little understanding of his art.Indeed, Baltz in dialogue with Baltz is nothing if not a polished work of self-definition. In a Socratic, if increasingly sardonic, exchange (it is surely written to be read, by his students perhaps?), the interview succinctly articulates the character of Baltz?s emerging practice. It describes his position within and against the world of photography, states his relation to the wider art ?system,? and (with greater irony) comments on the photographer?s intellectual heritage and professional ambition. It also offers a sober gloss on the responsibilities of the artist to the wider culture." Zitiert nach Duncan Forbes S. 61."

"Edited and introduced by Mohsen Mostafavi, this volume presents the translated text alongside essays by Marco Biraghi, Catherine Ingraham, Ken Tadashi Oshima, Federico Scaroni, and Hajime Yatsuka." "Manfredo Tafuri was an Italian Marxist architect, historian, theoretician, critic and academic. He is noted for his pointed critiques of the partisan "operative criticism" of previous architectural historians and critics like Bruno Zevi and Siegfried Giedion. Tafuri?s guide to modern architecture in Japan was published in 1964, when he was twenty-nine years old and when he had not yet traveled to Japan and, predates the first major articulation of his ideas on architectural history, Teorie e storia dell?architettura (Theories and History of Architecture), from 1968.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Kevin Lear A Glass Darkly Signed by the Photographer Kevin Lear's photographs are an intense poetic meditation on urban spaces in Kent and London, dating from 1971 until the 1990s Often shot at twilight, the works transform everyday street landscapes into sculptural forms. The photographs are imbued with a foreboding and unease, offering alien scenes of a world made unfamiliar by the photographer?s lens. Kevin Lear studied at Rochester College of Art in the 1960s and later lectured at Saint Martin?s School of Art, London. In the late 1970s, between freelance photography commissions, he worked as a truck driver, and continued to work on A Glass Darkly. In 2015 he was shortlisted for the MACK First Book Award. His work is currently held in collections of the V&A, London, the National Portrait Gallery, London, and the National Medial Museum, Bradford. A Glass Darkly is his first book.

Hard cover. Condition: New. In the city there are ways to escape the grid and walk along lines unseen. The city parks of New York offer this escape, eliciting both alienation and intoxication. They allow citizens and nature both a space for growth, a second city away from eyes on the street. Adam Pape?s photographs utilize the city parks in Washington Heights and Inwood as the backdrop for a narrative that unfolds in between day and night. Like a church or temple, parks are transformative. Here, young people have a public stage where they can try on different roles in the dark. Other citizens wander, fish, smoke, and pass time while animals lurk in the urban fringes, a reminder of nature?s promises and perils. These monochromatic images, directed by Pape and artificially lit, depict an ongoing exchange between humans, animals, and the landscape. In the furthest reach of Manhattan, sectioned off from further development, history and myth are at play.

Hardcover. Condition: New. â 31st August 2019 â ¦ from that moment on, the way I look at the world has changed. Everything has changed. Mariaâ s untimely death, her decision to end her own life, has made a distinct cut, a sharp delineation of the before and after.â - Martin Kollar\n\nAfter was formed in the wake of the death of Martin Kollarâ s partner, Maria.\n\nAs time slowly went by after the cataclysmic event, Kollar cautiously started to browse through his photographic archive. He was returned to the years, months, and days they spent together by the scores of materials from trips they made to location-scout and film together. In their last two years together, they had visited various research centres and public institutes as they started to prepare and shoot 'Chronicle', the film they were to make together.\n\nThese excursions into the past happened in various stages, from Kollarâ s original inability to bring himself to open the archive, through to periods of obsession during which he was unable to stop browsing through the multitude of photographs of his and Mariaâ s past life. What gradually started to emerge from the pictures were hidden contexts and threads he had not seen before.\n\nKollar started to assemble them, but not with the aim of reconstructing their life. Instead, he sought to express how the before transcends into the after; how the most anticipated events always find you unprepared.\n\n\nSilkscreened linen hardback\n20 x 25.5cm, 64 pages\n\nISBN 978-1-913620-34-9.

Dugan reflects on desire, intimacy, companionship, and the ways our identities are shaped by these experiences. In this highly personal collection of work, Dugan brings together self-portraits, portraits of individuals and couples, and still lifes, interwoven with diaristic writings reflecting on relationships, solitude, family, loss, healing, and the transformations that define a life. Dugan has long used photography to understand their own identity and to connect with others on a deeper level. Their process of working slowly and collaboratively discloses moments of heightened psychological intensity in images that transcend the specifics of a particular person or place, engaging with what it means to know oneself alongside and through others. Using medium-format cameras and natural lighting, Dugan employs traditional photographic practices to depict these contemporary subjects, resulting in images that both evoke and reimagine the conventional dynamics of art-historical portraiture. Brought together here, these photographs function as an extended, oblique self-portrait as much as a catalogue of friends and loved ones. Through a diffuse but studied sequence of image and text, Look at me like you love me brings our attention to one of the most powerful and complex forms of intimacy â " that of seeing and been seen.\n\n \nEmbossed printed linen hardcover\n23.5 x 29.5 cm, 108 pages\n\nISBN 978-1-913620-54-7.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Drawing from the nearly half a million photographs and documents comprising the Historic American Buildings Survey held in the US Library of Congress, this book constructs a fictional â one-way road tripâ across the United States, weaving north and south across the Mason-Dixon line while tacking west. In A Field Measure Survey of American Architecture, Jeffrey Ladd uses the HABS archive as a surrogate in order to manifest a portrait of his former country at a moment when its democracy seems imperiled.\n\nInspired equally by the social documentary work of Walker Evans and the architectural interventions of Gordon Matta-Clark and others, Ladd embraces the muteness of photographs to create an ambiguous space where the sculptural, political, forensic, and fictional coalesce within a landscape of both beauty and fragility. What initially appears to be a single voice is revealed to belong to dozens of makers; what seems a description of the distant past is revealed to be closer to the present than expected. A Field Measure Survey sheds light not only on this remarkable archive but on the proliferate meanings that can be shaped from its images.\n\n \n\nPaperback with buckram cover\n23.32 x 17 cm, 368 pages\n\nISBN 978-1-913620-41-7.

A celebration of life, lyrically expressed.â â " British Journal of Photography\n\nâ We live our lives in widening circles, rarely appreciating their nature and how they bring us back. In a year, my daughter will be leaving home and is no stranger to a similar wanderlust I once knew. As a father, I always felt it was important to instill a profound sense of place, to identify with a certain place as home, even as these ideals have, over recent years, taken on relative meaning. I photograph close to home as memory loses structure, its architecture, trying to make light speak from the fixed edges of rooms long vanished.â - Raymond Meeks\n\nInspired by his daughterâ s entrance into adulthood and her imminent departure from home, Raymond Meeks studies the centrifugal forces of the places we live â " how they anchor us, repel us, and return to us â " through scenes that appear both fragile and immovable. In these photographs, gardens give way to thicket, houses are suspended on stacked railroad ties, and telephone wires and train lines suggest the networks we build to find our way through the worldâ s wilderness.\n\nAmong these domestic landscapes are portraits of Meeksâ daughter, which capture the introspection and inquisitiveness of early adulthood while paying tribute to the ultimate mystery of their subjectâ s consciousness. Following the success of Meeksâ previous book, ciprian honey cathedral, Somersault is a concise, poetic reflection on home and the ties that bind us to it â " all the stronger as they fade into the half-light.\n\n \n\nEmbossed hardback with tip-in\n17 x 24.5cm, 72 pages\n\nISBN 978-1-913620-40-0.

"Live in the house and it will not fall down is a gallery of fragments, a collection of memories, the story of one and more people, of a house, of a city. Compiled by Italian artists and recipients of the first Lewis Baltz Research Fund, Alessandro Laita and Chiaralice Rizzi, the book was built from an archive of images collected over four decades by the late Venetian artist Bruno Rizzi, who died in 2004. Spending days in the artists Venice studio, Laita and Rizzi intervened in the delicate geology that underlies such piles of papers, postcards and photographs sedimented over the years. Set free from their previous binds and rebound in a new order, the images serve as traces of the artist's life in sync with the gentle currents of the floating city.".

"This collection of essays and photographs by Allan Sekula was originally published, 1984, by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Photography has always been characterized by a vacillation between extremes: between subjectivity and objectivity, truth and artifice, information and aesthetic. More than any other, photography is a medium of contrasting forces and it was this oppositional nature that so interested the American photographer, writer, filmmaker and critic Allan Sekula. Sekula combined photography with conceptualism and Marxist commentary to create his own brand of critically engaged art and writing, much of which features in this collection. The books first half is devoted to his early written works and included are texts such as, On the Invention of Photographic Meaning (1974) and The Traffic in Photographs (1981). The former compares the styles of social documentarians like Lewis Hine with anti-utilitarian, aesthetes like Alfred Stieglitz, while the latter concerns itself with the literal traffic of photographys production, consumption and circulation."

Helen Molesworth Hrsg. London, MACK Books, 2023. 291:240mm 162S. Durchgehend illustr., z.gr.T. farb. Or.-Brosch. "Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the International Center of Photography (ICP, January 27, 2023 ? May 1, 202) New York, the book includes essays by Helen Molesworth, and Jarrett Earnest. Bringing together the diverse and distinctive work of Tacita Dean, Brigitte Lacombe, and Catherine Opie, this book forms an investigation into the charged genre of portraiture and its various approaches, navigating tensions between intimacy and publicity. While the three artists collected here share a wide set of historical touchstones, each deploys the camera differently: Tacita Dean exploits cinema?s capacity for duration; Brigitte Lacombe takes her cameras out on assignment; Catherine Opie works in the tradition of the studio photograph." The book presents portraits of Hilton Als, Maya Angelou, Richard Avedon, Justin Bond, Louise Bourgeois, Joan Didion, Thelma Golden, David Hockney, Joan Jonas, Fran Lebowitz,Miranda July, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall, Rick Owens, Martin Scorsese, Patti Smith, Mickalene Thomas, Kara Walker, John Waters, Lawrence Weiner and many others.".
