Vanilla Partner
AU$150.00 Read MoreAdd to cartTorbjorn 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
AU$150.00 Read MoreAdd to cartAnders 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
AU$200.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRinko 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)

Refocus: Dragon 2010-2011
AU$100.00 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
AU$200.00 Read MoreAdd to cartKen 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)
