The Future is Fungi
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMichael Lim; Yun Shu
London: Thames & Hudson, 2022.How Fungi Can Feed Us, Heal Us, Free Us and Save Our World. “The kingdom of fungi has survived all five major extinction events. They are the architects of the natural world, integral to all life. They sustain critical ecosystems, recycling nutrients and connecting plants across vast areas, and help to produce many staples of modern life, such as wine, chocolate, bread, detergent and penicillin. Today, in the face of urgent ecological, societal and spiritual crises, fungi are being engineered to grow meat alternatives, create new sources of medicine, produce sustainable biomaterials, remediate the environment and even expand our collective consciousness. The Future is Fungi is a complete introduction to this hidden kingdom. Exploring their past, present and potential future impact in four key areas – food, medicine, psychedelics and mental health, and environmental remediation – this book not only reveals how fungi have formed the foundations of modern life but how they might help shape our future. Rich with informative texts, awe-inspiring 3D digital art and tips on how to immerse yourself in the world of fungi, this is a manifesto for the future, an invitation into a deeper awareness of our relationship with the natural world, each other, and ourselves.” (publisher’s blurb)

London: Phaidon, 2021.“Legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz’s surprising – and surprised – account of her encounters with fashion. Looking back at my work, I see that fashion has always been there, Annie Leibovitz observes in the preface to her new book, Wonderland. Fashion plays a part in the scheme of everything, but photography always comes first for me. The photograph is the most important part. And photography is so big that it can encompass journalism, portraiture, reportage, family photographs, fashion… My work for Vogue fueled the fire for a kind of photography that I might not otherwise have explored.” (publisher’s blurb)

Marvel
AU$75.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMarvel Harris
[London]: MACK, 2021.“At first the focus of my project was my gender transition, but along the way I found out that itÂ’s about an ongoing search for myself: being a human with feelings, who is continuously developing.” (Marvel Harris) “MARVEL describes the journey of Marvel HarrisÂ’ personal battles with mental illness, self-love, acceptance, and gender identity, all told through a searing collection of self-portraits spanning the course of five years. These photographs present a new-found visual language; a tool with which Marvel was able to express those emotions that, on account of his autism, he previously struggled to make sense of. The process of making these portraits allowed him to connect to the world around him at the time he needed it most. Winner of the MACK First Book Award 2021, MARVEL is an important new voice which contributes to an increased awareness of the issues surrounding gender identity and mental health. In doing so, this deeply personal book demands a more tolerant attitude from society towards transgender people and those who donÂ’t identify as entirely male or female.” (publisher’s blurb)
