The Toad and The Jaguar: A Field Report of Underground Research on a Visionary Medcine
AU$30.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRalph Metzner
El Verano: Four Trees Press, 2013.Bufo alvarius and 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine. With forewords by Stanislav Grof and Charles Grob. “In this monograph, I relate findings from more than 30 years of experiences and observations with this substance, in various user groups and individuals, both in the US and in Europe. I use the term underground in referring to the explorations with these substances, in the sense that they were hidden – out of respect for the restrictions and prohibitions of mainstream culture. These are ethnographic field reports: first-hand observations from an underground sub-culture, accompanied by the experiences of a selected number of participant-observers. It is important to recognize that in research with these and other so-called psychedelic or entheogenic substances, one cannot limit the observations and reflections solely to their physical and psychological effects. As most of the people cited here emphasize, the experiences with these substances at times can go far beyond their physical and psychological effects into the deepest and highest dimensions of our existence, both the cosmic and the spiritual.” (publisher’s blurb)

AU$200.00 Read MoreAdd to cartKarl Lagerfeld; Carine Roitfeld
Gottingen: Steidl, 2013.“This book is Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld’s reinterpretation of Chanel’s iconic little black jacket. Lagerfeld has redesigned the jacket, transforming it into a modern, adaptable garment to be worn by both sexes of all ages. The Little Black Jacket contains Lagerfeld’s photographs of celebrities wearing the jacket with individual flair – sometimes classic, sometimes irreverent, but always Chanel – and each styled by Carine Roitfeld. A range of accomplished actors, musicians, designers, models, writers and directors gets the little black jacket treatment, including Claudia Schiffer, Uma Thurman, Kanye West, Tilda Swinton, Baptiste Giabiconi, Yoko Ono and Sarah Jessica Parker.

The Black Islands: Spirit and War in Melanesia
AU$65.00 Read MoreAdd to cartBen 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.

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) This copy signed by the photographer.
