Vanilla Partner
Read MoreTorbjorn Rodland
[London]: MACK, 2012.Photobook by Norwegian photographer Torbjorn Rodland from works made in Oslo, Tokyo, Beijing, and Los Angeles, “combining images of fetishized isolation in a layout that rejects the linear structure of thematic photography books. .. Reconstructed scenes of ultrasoft BDSM read like twisted metaphors for photography’s ability to freeze or capture. The book title, dripping in innuendo, also poses a question about the ambiguity of the relationship between the artist and his medium.” (from publisher’s blurb)

Soho
Read MoreAnders Petersen
[London]: MACK & The Photographers’ Gallery, 2012.“The Soho described by Robert Louis Stevenson in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde as ‘a district of some city in a nightmare’ is dramatically different to the one discovered in 2011 by renowned Swedish photographer Anders Petersen. As part of a series of off-site artist commissions supported by Bloomberg, Petersen was invited by The Photographers’ Gallery to undertake a four-week residency in the bubbling creative underbelly of London. Turning his direct and unflinching gaze to the streets of Soho, Petersen produced a series which is both penetrating and sensitive to his subjects. His intimate, diaristic style of coarse black and white photography captures the essence of today’s Soho while drawing you back into the depths of its history. For a month Petersen immersed himself in the life of the famous London district, documenting the streets, pubs, cafes and private homes of the residents. This latest instalment of his series City Diaries is a testament to the dynamism and diversity of the area and the people who frequent and live in it.” (publisher’s blurb)

Ametsuchi
Read MoreRinko Kawauchi
New York: Aperture, 2013.“Inspired by two Japanese characters meaning heaven and earth and taken from the title of one of the oldest pangrams in Japanese–a chant in which each character of the Japanese syllabary is used. In Ametsuchi, Kawauchi brings together images of distant constellations and tiny figures lost within landscapes, as well as photographs of a traditional style of controlled-burn farming (yakihata) in which the cycles of cultivation and recovery span decades and generations. Punctuating the series are images of Buddhist rituals and other religious ceremonies–a suggestion of other means by which humankind has traditionally attempted to transcend time and memory.” (from Aperture website) This copy signed by the photographer.

Refocus: Dragon 2010-2011
AU$100 Read MoreAdd to cartWang Chuan
Beijing: Pekin Fine Arts, 2011.“Published on the occasion of Wang Chuan’s second solo exhibition ‘Refocus: Dragon’ at Pekin Fine Arts, Beijing, April to May 2011. This exhibition is also part of Caochangdi Photospring 2011. Wang takes a contrarian approach to digital photography by enlarging the pixels and making them obvious to the viewer in order to draw attention to overlooked details of Beijing’s landscape. ‘In Refocus: Dragon, Wang demonstrates a simple enough premise: The dragon is still everywhere in Beijing; its portrait shows up in the oddest and most unexpected places.[…] Wang’s works implicitly question how these dragon legends play out on a contemporary stage. Wang shows us, using his impressionistic pixels, a variety of places where he recently “discovered” dragons still alive and kicking, lodged deeply in the psyche of local people around Beijing.’ (from foreword by Meg Maggio) Includes an essay by Gu Zheng and artist statement by Wang Chuan. Artist biography and list of works provided. Chinese text is printed in a separate booklet attached.” (publisher’s blurb). This copy inscribed by the photographer.

our face
Read MoreKen Kitano
Beijing: Three Shadows Photography Art Centre, 2010.Exhibition catalogue for Japanese photographer Ken Kitano’s our face project at Three Shadows Photography Art Centre which opened 3 July, 2010. “At first glance these our face works might look like single individuals, but each is a composite image of a group layered into one. The production process is long and involved – and completely analog – burning negatives one by one onto silver halide printing paper at ultra-low exposures, over and over again. The Three Shadows Photography Art Centre on the outskirts of Beijing places great value on large-format silve rhalide photgraphs and is one of the very few facilities in the world equipped to handle production. In April 2009, Centre Directors RongRong and inri graciously informed me of their willingness to help me with the project, so from May 2010 I began a three-month residency to produce this our face series.” (from introduction) This copy signed by Kitano in silver marker and with a small drawing by the photographer.

Ravens
Read MoreMasahisa Fukase
London: Mack, 2017.“Consistently proclaimed as one of the most important photobooks in the history of the medium, Ravens by Japanese photographer Masahisa Fukase was first published in 1986 and the two subsequent editions were both short print runs that sold out immediately. This bilingual facsimile of the first edition contains a new text by founder of the Masahisa Fukase Archives, Tomo Kosuga. His essay locates Ravens in Fukase’s wider work and life, and is illustrated with numerous recently discovered photographs and drawings. Fukase’s haunting series of work was made between 1975 and 1986 in the aftermath of a divorce and was apparently triggered by a mournful train journey to his hometown. The coastal landscapes of Hokkaido serve as the backdrop for his profoundly dark and impressionistic photographs of ominous flocks of crows, which are said to serve as an allegory for postwar Japan.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Black Islands: Spirit and War in Melanesia
Read MoreBen Bohane
: Waka Press, 2013.“Since 1994, acclaimed photojournalist Ben Bohane has lived and reported on the Pacific islands. In his new book The Black Islands — Spirit and War in Melanesia — Bohane traces a photographic journey through these beautiful but sometimes dangerous islands. He dwells on a variety of kastom, cult and cargo cult movements, documenting their rituals and the hidden role they have sometimes played in island society. At times they have sparked, and later help end, the wars of this region. Bohane has spent much of the past 30 years documenting the conflicts of Melanesia in places like Bougainville, the Solomon Islands and West Papua, as well as the liberation of East Timor. The book celebrates the joy of daily life in the islands too, from gardening to drinking kava. There are intimate portraits and sweeping landscapes. This is a region rich in culture and ritual, a 24/7 spirit world. Bohane’s classic black and white reportage offers a deeper narrative to the picture postcard version of the South Pacific we think we know.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy inscribed by the photographer.

Read MoreThomas Dworzak
: Trolley, 2003.“These portraits of Taliban soldiers were collected by Thomas Dworzak during his coverage of the fall of the Taliban regime in 2002. It is thought that most of these pictures are from Taliban members who had them taken in early November 2001, but could not pick them up as they had to flee the advancing opposition and United States’ bombing. The Taliban interpretation of Islamic rules stated photography or any depiction of living beings (humans or mammals) was illegal. But when passport photography was re-allowed, some Taliban members would ask to pose for a more flattering, retouched portrait secretly taken in the back room of the studio. The pictures were taken by Afghan photographers in Kandahar at the studios Shah Zadah (Son of the King/Shah), Roshan (Light), and Nazir Photographer.” (Magnum Photos)

Show Me! A Picture Book of Sex for Children and Parents
Read MoreWill McBride; Helga Fleischhauer-Hardt
New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1975.Originally published in German as ‘Zeig Mal!’, this is the first edition in English. Show Me! is a graphic sex education book written in a frank style to encourage teaching “children to grow up proud and unashamed of their bodies and sexuality.” The publisher was accused of obscenity, with prosecutors arguing the book was child pornography. In all of the original cases judges ruled the book was not obscene, though the book continued to feature in US court cases relating to obscenity, child pornography, and the First Amendment, and was eventually pulled from shelves by the publisher “stating that though they believed Show Me! was not pornographic, they could no longer afford the legal expenses to defend it”. An important work both in the history of sex education and book censorship.

The Virgin Sperm Dancer
Read MoreWilliam Levy
The Hague: Uitgeverij Bert Bakker, 1978.An ecstatic journey of a boy transformed into a girl for one day only, and her erotic adventures in Amsterdam, magic centrum. A classic publication from the age of sexual liberation, The virgin sperm dancer is an early photobook which illustrates the story of Joop, a young Dutch man who experiences a day transformed as Joopie, a sexually awakened woman. Published as a Suck Special Issue of the Amsterdam-based pornography magazine Suck, The virgin sperm dancer clearly aims to titillate with its uncensored graphic photographs of the escapades in this fantasy. However through the lengthy narrative and exploration of the versatility of sexual experience, Sperm Dancer finds itself as a prototype for later works that explore sexual freedom and concepts of gender. Through depictions of free love in Amsterdam in the 70s with a focus on transsexuality, bisexuality, transvestism, and homosexuality, Sperm dancer avoids gender paradigms of masculinity and power, and includes women’s sexual empowerment and orgasm as a focus of the work. Unusually for a sex magazine, this standalone publication does not appear to pitch its eroticism to a particular sexuality but rather embraces the versatility of sexual experience as being its greatest appeal. The Virgin Sperm Dancer was immediately influential and homaged on the cover of the September 1972 issue of London Oz. A second edition was published in 1978. Suck is touted as the first European sex newspaper and was launched in London in 1969 before moving to Amsterdam to avoid England’s anti-obscenity laws.
