Personal Projects: Australiana / A Picture Book of Down Under
AU$55.00 Read MoreAdd to cartSimon Eeles
[Bologna]: Damiani Editore, 2016.Now out of print. “The first book by up-and-coming photographer Simon Eeles (born 1983), named Harper Bazaar’s Young Photographer of the Year in 2009, Australiana is the result of a cross-continental road trip Eeles undertook in his homeland after years of working in the US and abroad. Featuring beachside portraits, images of his nieces and nephews playing in his mother’s backyard on a small dairy farm in Tasmania, as well as landscape images of the country’s vegetation, the volume aims to paint a portrait of a place and a culture geographically separated. Having worked under renowned British fashion photographer Craig McDean, Eeles creates images with sharp, fashion-world glamour, even as he captures a relaxing day on an Australian beach. It is this rich and unusual combination of sensibilities–the outback hardness with New York glitz–that informs this first monograph, an homage to the diverse landscapes and hard light of the faraway continent.” (publisher’s blurb)

AU$48.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJan Hoek; Duran Lantink; Gerda van de Glind; SistaazHood
[Ghent]: Art Paper Editions, 2019.“Jan Hoek, fashion designer Duran Lantink and trans sex worker organisation SistaazHood present ‘Sistaaz of the CastleÂ’, an ongoing project about the colorful looks and lives of transgender sex workers that roam the streets of Cape Town, South Africa. Most of the girls are homeless, living under a bridge near Cape TownÂ’s castle. The Sistaaz are eager activists, proud to be trans, proud to be a sex worker, and even prouder of their stunning sense of style. And they want it to be acknowledged. A series of photographs and a fashion collection based on the girlsÂ’ appearance and their ability to turn whatever they find into the most exuberant outfits was created. This has already resulted in a fashion show at Amsterdam Fashion Week (a show in Cape Town in still on the wish list) and a photo exhibition in Foam Amsterdam.” (publisher’s blurb)

Tales of the San Francisco Cacophony Society
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartKevin Evans; Carrie Galbraith; John Law
San Francisco: Last Gasp, 2019.“The history of the most influential underground cabal that you have never heard of. A template for pranksters, artists, adventurers and anyone interested in rampant creativity, for years to come. Rising from the ashes of the mysterious and legendary Suicide Club, The Cacophony Society, at its zenith, hosted chapters in over a dozen major cities, and influenced much of what was once called the underground. Flash Mobs, Urban Exploration, and Culture Jamming are a few of the pop culture trends that Cacophony helped kick off. Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club, Burning Man and Internet social networking powerhouse Laughing Squid were informed and inspired by Cacophony. The Burning Man Festival actually began as a Cacophony event as did the annual, and now world-wide SantaCon.” (publisher’s blurb)
