Antoine D'Agata Anticorps Editions Xavier Barral 2013 ISBN 9782365110037 Acqn 21830 Hb 20x27cm 560pp 900ills 750col 72.50 Anticorps comprises an exhibition at Le Bal, Paris, and this book contains some 2400 photographs by Antoine dAgata, infamous for his work dealing with addiction, sex, prostitution, obsession and other taboos. A testament to the enormity and variety of his prolific output, it reflects a language that has gradually become darker, more abstract and abrupt. Curators Fannie Escoulen and Bernard Marcad grapple with this mass of raw, uncompromising subject matter to discover its implications, finding a man who imbues extreme experiences of existence with revelatory power. It is both haunting and riveting, from spectral encounters to stark urban landscapes.

Connie Samaras - Tales Of Tomorrow Armory Center For The Arts 2013 ISBN 9781893900035 Acqn 22062 Hb 20x24cm 108pp 75col ills 33.95 Over the past two decades, Los Angeles-based artist Connie Samaras (born 1950) has used photography and video--as well as writing, teaching and political activism--to explore the aspirations and anxieties of the imagined future through depictions of built environments that she calls speculative landscapes. Dealing with the paradoxes of these surreal environments--vast, impersonal constructions such as the cities of Las Vegas and Dubai and the remote, scientific colonies of the South Pole or a commercial space launch facility in New Mexico--Samaras ongoing interest is in mapping political geographies and the psychological dislocation in the everyday. Despite critical acclaim and impressive solo exhibitions, Samaras work has not yet received the wider recognition it deserves. This volume, and the exhibition it accompanies at The Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, address this oversight, providing the first thorough overview of her ouevre to date. Edited and with introduction by Irene Tsatsos. Text by Charlotte Cotton, Lisa Bloom, Juli Carson, Ken Gonzalez-Day, Alice Echols, Kate Flint, Julie Lazar, Catherine Opie, Kavita Philip, Claire Phillips, Anna Joy Springer, Tyler Stallings, Roberto Tejada, Matias Viegener.

Dana Hoey - The Phantom Sex University of Art Museum Albany 2013 ISBN 9780910763448 Acqn 22071 Pb 23x28cm 104pp 61ills 55col 23.50 Introduction by Corinna Ripps Schaming. Text by Johanna Burton. For more than 20 years, the photographer Dana Hoey (born 1966) has explored what it means to be female. Using both staged and directed photography, her meticulously constructed pictures often combine the sunny daylight and saturated color of commercial, digitally enhanced film stock with the iconography and framing of religious painting. Her early work claims influences as diverse as Berninis Ecstasy of St. Teresa and Philip Roths American Pastoral and reveals a fascination with corrupted idealism and the power of heedless actions. More recently, Hoey has explored scenarios in which older women play central roles and typically female activities take on elevated status. In her latest pictures, resin casts of her own and friends bodies, found sculptures and plastic tarps serve as stand-ins for human subjects. The Phantom Sex is the first comprehensive overview of this prominent female photographer in more than ten years.

Jeff Jacobson - The Last Roll Daylight 2013 ISBN 9780983231677 Acqn 22073 Hb 23x20cm 116pp 50col ills 31 A few days before Christmas, 2004, I was diagnosed with lymphoma, writes photographer Jeff Jacobson (born 1946) in his preface to The Last Roll. Some present. After each chemotherapy session I retreated to our home in the Catskills to recuperate. I began photographing around the house as I was too sick to go anywhere else. As my strength returned, my photographic universe slowly expanded. Shortly thereafter, Kodak discontinued production of Kodachrome, the stock that had shaped Jacobsons vision as a photographer. He bought up as much remaining Kodachrome film as he could, and exposed his last roll a few days before Christmas, 2010. The compelling body of photographs made on Kodachrome provides a nuanced, first-person depiction of a cancer patients changing perspectives on life, death, art and the world at-large.

Brett Van Ort Minescape Daylight 2013 ISBN 9780983231660 Acqn 22075 Pb 31x21cm 72pp 30col ills 27 A Texan photographer who divides his time between London and Los Angeles, Brett Van Ort started out as a camera assistant and operator working on various films, documentaries, commercials and television shows. He has always been fascinated by land and how we use it to both our benefit and detriment. Minescape documents the legacy of land warfare on the social and natural landscape in Bosnia that continues to render many portions of the country impassable. These pieces show the regenerative power of nature and human beings insatiable appetite to expand, explore, conquer and transform nature into civility, Van Ort states. The photographs range from images of the mines themselves, set on stark white backgrounds, to landscapes that are unusable until meticulously cleared and images of prosthetic limbs. In Minescape, Van Ort portrays human technology as an agent that maims or heals, while the natural world remains edenic.

Jos Jansen - Entering The Black Box. Some Exploratory Notes on The Essence Of Deep The Eriskay Connection 2012 ISBN 9789081838443 Acqn 22370 Pb 20x28cm 72pp 46ills 36col 21.50 In his second photo book, documentary photographer and psychologist Jos Jansen investigates the mystic nature of high-tech research. He gained access to the High Tech Campus Eindhoven, an 'open' but still heavily guarded world, in which he explored the relationship between people and technology. Jansen focuses in particular on three important aspects of modern scientific research: scale, complexity and abstraction. In an associative manner, he shows fragments of a world which is simultaneously alienating, fascinating and unfathomable.

Julia Peirone - More Than Violet Art And Theory Publishing 2012 ISBN 9789197998512 Acqn 22371 Hb 21x26cm 72pp 34col ills 31.50 In this networked age, identity is increasingly constituted by images, both self- and mediagenerated. We can experiment and play with appearances, creating our own image of ourselves. The tradition of studio portrait photography, by contrast, generally aims to capture the sitters best self. In Julia Peirones intriguing images of teenage girls, these two approaches intersect and collide. She shoots hundreds of frames, but eventually only selects the failed and usually discarded ones. Using the studio environment, she undermines the idea of the photogenic; the girls supposed beauty eludes the viewer. Technically perfect yet imperfect as portraits in the traditional sense.

IANN 8 - Unfound In Australia IANN 2012 no ISBN Acqn 22390 Pb 23x28cm 124pp 82ills 76col 21 Rediscover an unknown continent through the medium of photography in the 21st century. The seven artists appearing in this issue of IANN are well versed in the photographic technique and language familiar to modern art, yet show cultural distinctness that is nothing short of extraordinary. Combining the new with the old, the images can be both shocking and alienating, perhaps indicative of the otherness of their origins. Long under appreciated, this volume seeks to bring modern Australian photography to the fore; it includes work by Marian Drew, Graham Miller, Henri Van Noordenburg, Jacqui Stockdale, Justine Khamara, Magdalena Bors and Christian Thompson.

Geert Goiris - Lying Awake ROMA Publications 2013 ISBN 9789077459935 Acqn 22393 Hb 24x31cm 164pp 69ills 29col 44.50 The work of Belgian artist and photographer Geert Goiris straddles a liminal position between landscape and still life. Haunting and dreamlike, the sometimes alien images denote a fundamental tension between man and nature often bordering on the sublime. From seemingly composed scenes of various objects or portraits to architectural and natural landscapes, the images impart a sense of uncanny timing or discerning observation, achieving both qualities of suspended time and unspoken narrative. Included is Myths, Places and Protagonists, a collection of short texts by Goiris offering personal insight into how a number of the images came to be created or inspired.

Elian Somers - Border Theories Fw 2013 ISBN 9789490119195 Acqn 22398 Hb 24x34cm 120pp 50ills 30col 37 By using photography and historical documentation, Elian Somers investigates in Border Theories the relationship between architecture, politics and history in three Russian cities. During the 20th century, Birobidzhan, Kaliningrad and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk were designed, built and redeveloped under the Soviet regime, with the utopian vision of a socialist city as the guiding principle for each. By examining the evolution of these cities, Somers reveals how visions of urban planners, nourished by political convictions, can control but never fully overwrite a city and its history. Included are texts by Elian Somers, Hester van Gent and Kerstin Winking.

On The Surface A Mag 2012 ISBN 9789899782518 Acqn 22402 Pb 24x30cm 166pp 130ills 70col 28 The result of an international seminar that took place at the University of Porto in May 2010, this publication focuses on the legitimacy of thinking critically about photography, beginning with the image itself. Long considered as documenting the world with complete objectivity, architectural photography has now opened itself to diverse readings and purposes beyond simply conveying the vision of the architect. In this way, it contributes to widening the debate around architecture, cities and landscapes. With a range of contributions by critics and photographers like Robert Elwall, Pedro Gadanho, Susana Ventura, Filip Dujardin, Hlne Binet, Lus Urbano, and others.

Ishiuchi Miyako Cocoons Seigensha Art Publishing 2012 ISBN 9784861523717 Acqn 22433 Pb 22x28cm 144pp 103col ills 45 Renowned photographer Ishiuchi Miyako documents the history and omnipresence of silk in Japanese culture, giving special attention to the inexpensive meisen-kimono, which, with its plain weave of waste silk, transcended the industrys traditional aesthetic sense. The book shows how the traditions and formalities of silk are deeply rooted in an entire generation of women, for whom it is inseparably tied to the modernisation of Japan. With stunning detail and colour, From Cocoons breathes life into the process of silk production and textile fabrication, and richly illustrates the myriad patterns of the kimonos, collected in this case at the Kiryu Private Textile School.
