Published on the occasion of the legendary Czech photographer's eightieth birthday, Josef
Koudelka: Returning offers a comprehensive look at Koudelka's life and work, featuring all of the
series for which he has become so well known, among them Beginnings, Experiments, Theatre,
Gypsies, Invasion 68, Exiles and Panorama. Besides Koudelka's photographs, many of which
have become canonical works of postwar photography, the book is notable for its inclusion of
unique archival material, such as excerpts from his diaries, contact prints, examples of book or
magazine mockups from 1969 in preparation for the Invasion 68 series, and photographs of
friends, as well as other images from his personal life. The book was conceived and edited by
Koudelka himself, making this volume an exceptional publication.

As a photographer, Guillaume Chauvin seeks to question the subjectivity of images and affirm his
documentary point of view. He is accustomed to venturing off the beaten track and
experimenting. In this series of images, he documents the everyday lives of various Colombians,
from schoolchildren and farmers to veterinarians and soldiers. Chauvin, detached from the
particular constraints of the journalist, delivers a personal investigation of a culture about which
he knew nothing but stereotypes. The book is a sensitive and dense inquiry into coloured truths
that unfolds through visual and literary images, ensuring the magic realism dear to Colombians is
never far away.

Located in the south of France, the site of Camp de Rivesaltes is heavily laden with emotion.
Originally constructed as a military base, it was used to detain civil populations several times
between 1939 and 2007, including the administrative detention of thousands of Jews, who would
be transported to Auschwitz and killed. Later, French auxiliaries who served in the Algerian War
and their families passed through. The various groups who have occupied the site all have one
thing in common: they were displaced against their free will, abandoned there for years, and
regarded as outcasts. This series of images by French-Spanish photographer Flore revisits the
camp's turbulent history.

Bobby Sands died on May 5, 1981 at 1:17 in the morning. On March 1, 1981, he began a hunger
strike followed by nine other political prisoners who were members of the IRA and the INLA. Their
demands: to obtain the status of political prisoners to which they are entitled. They all died, the
last one in almost general indifference. Those weeks that Yan Morvan lived in Derry and Belfast,
living with the rioters of Catholic neighbourhoods, photographing the tension, despair, faith, and
courage of the Irish people, using the camera as a weapon to serve their cause, persuaded him
forever of the validity of photographic witness as an instrument of memory, emotion, reflection,
guarantees of a free and democratic world.

The second issue of the super-large-format magazine by motorcycle devotee Alberto Garcia-Alix
once again delivers high-octane thrills and great visual imagery. It features selections from an
image collection built up throughout his career, from 1975 to the present. The black-and-white
photographs allow us a glimpse into a personal universe of friendship and the open road, and
show us how own view of the motorcycle has evolved through the years. Ranging from portraits
of riders to extreme closeups of polished pipes and roaring engines, the love of motorcycles takes
centre stage in what is ultimately an expression of life, passion, and the passage of time.

Laurent Muschel has travelled all over the tropics, photographing the intimacy surrounding this
special world of hair salons. The series took off in the "Afro part" of Brussels, called Matonge (the
name comes from a surrounding in Kinshasa) and then continued in East and West Africa: Addis
Abeba and Shire (Ethiopia), Abidjan and Grand Bassam (Ivory Coast), Accra (Ghana), and Banjul
(Gambia). The journey was accompanied by many short cuts and extensions along the way.
Laurent Muschel likes to photograph the details and small gestures, inviting us to come closer
and explore further.

Born in Germany in 1948, Klaus Baumgartner applied his varied talents as a teacher, sculptor,
collage-maker, graphic designer, and photographer, until his death in 2013. Photographs
comprise a perhaps lesser-known but equally significant part of his oeuvre. In this book, art
historian Hans Locher focuses exclusively on the artist's capacity for image-making.
Baumgartner's photographic eye is akin to that of Moholy-Nagy, Kertesz, and Wols from the
1930s. He had distinct way of looking, and darkness features in many of his pictures - in weather
or shadows, but also in emotions. Moreover, we encounter things in these images that recall his
idiosyncratic plastic objects.

For a recurring feature in a Dutch newspaper, Thijs Wolzak visited people with extraordinary
houses every week for six years. He listened to their stories and considered how to capture it all
in an image, depicting the residents' values, with all their bravado, but also their shortcomings.
Wolzak, working from a documentary viewpoint, captured these encounters in exceptional quality,
with a sharp eye for the smallest details. The series offers an intimate view of how people
approach the world and their direct surroundings, showing how far they go in the design of their
own living space. What is perhaps amazing or even absurd to the viewer is very obvious for them
- the only logical choice.

Anne Geene and Arjan de Nooy offer a fresh, often humorous way of looking at the world through
their pseudoscientific work. Their previous publication, 'Ornithology', an alternative guide for
birdwatchers, was awarded the "Best Book Design from all over the World" at the Leipzig Book
Fair. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, their next
collaboration is about a fictional photographer who lived from 1955 to 2010. Geene and De Nooy
created this book based on this person's work, which references various stylistic periods and art
movements - an "encyclopaedia" of photography but also the personal life story of a universal
photographer.

Poet, writer, and musician Henjo Hekman has a collection of about 2,500 "parallel cards",
meaning postcards in which the same images are repeatedly used, but which refer to different
places. Conceptual artist Bas Fontein, whose work focuses on collections of texts and images,
came upon a portion of this collection by chance in a hotel on the Dutch island of Terschelling.
With Hekman's permission, he has used these parallel cards to create the panoramas found in
this publication - idyllic vacation spots, beaches, sunsets, and natural settings along the Dutch
coast that have unwittingly become the manufactured by-product of tourism, at once everywhere
and nowhere.

This publication offers a spectrum of views on how the myriad forms of exhibiting photographies
can increase our understanding of how images operate today, as well as what they do to us when
we interact with them. In the Digital Age, "photography" is best described with adjectives
connoting a medium in constant flux: liquid, fluid, flexible, unstable. As such, there is no primary
format for displaying photographs. By drawing upon the diverse perspectives of a group of
curators, scholars, photographers, and artists based in the field of contemporary photography,
this volume aims to provide a foundation for a wider discourse about exhibiting photographies in
the twenty-first century.

In 2017, at the age of 102, Mar passed away. Those close to her knew her as a special woman
who gave colour to life, literally and figuratively. Ten years ago, Marijn Bax started to photograph
Mar in her house, fascinated by the fusion between her movements and the walls and furniture,
as well as by the colours and fabrics surrounding her. It soon grew into an intense collaboration
and friendship. About their working together, Mar would always say, "Do something with this
when I am no longer here." The day that she passed, Bax knew precisely what that "something"
should be: an artist's book, not about Mar, but from Mar, just as colourful and clever as she
herself had been.

Sanne Van Den Elzen - Today, Too, I Experienced Something I Hope To Understand In A
Few Days
Fw 2018 ISBN 9789490119690 Acqn 29164
Pb 17x24cm 128pp ills £21.95
Sanne van der Elzen takes a closer look at the manner in which we greet one another, which is
perhaps the most universal gesture of all. What happens if we misinterpret our counterpart's
gestures? What role does intimacy play in possible misconceptions? For instance, in scrutinising
the Dutch formality of three kisses on the cheeks, one might begin to wonder about the elasticity
of one's comfort zone. Van den Elzen invites the viewer to follow her playful visual research
method, focusing on the intervals and the interspaces of the complex choreography that is the art
of the gesture.

'Evidences' is a curated collection of photos taken over a period of five years. With these 79
photographs, Suffo Moncloa constructs a meditative journey, a multifaceted dialogue between
images based on decontextualized language, with evocations from form, colour, implied mystery,
and the inherent power of the image itself. The collection's narratives deal directly with the
elements that make up our world, but also with the idea of creating a timeless image. It includes
evidences from the working process, dark room experimentation, and reconstruction. The idea of
materiality becomes central; capturing moments when a vision can be transformed into an object,
or something else.

A national bird is a bird that a nation has chosen as its symbol. The USA were the first to
establish their own national bird when the bald eagle was chosen in 1782. In Japan, the
Ornithological Society of Japan nominated the pheasant as national bird in 1947. Each country's
national bird also reflects the position of nature and culture within the respective nation. This book
introduces the national birds of 36 countries around the world.

The endless production of images and their copying is in the nature of photography. Naturally,
this aspect raises questions about the possibility, the status, and the whereabouts of an original.
In literature, such questions led to intertextuality, a notion which encompasses concepts like
allusion, quotation, calque, plagiarism, translation, pastiche, and parody. When taken to an
extreme, this implies the death of the author and refers to originality as a modernist myth. From
these starting points, 'Salvo' examines such claims within the medium of photography to search
for new techniques, for instances that had never seen the light before. What came first - the bang
or the big?

The gap between the consumer and the world of the cow has been growing over the past few
decades. Dutch photographer Hans van der Meer takes a closer look at cows and dairy farming
in this book, an investigation which addresses topics such as animal welfare, hi-tech food
production, and the impact of these on the environment. Not only do his images bring a sharp
focus on the complexity of modern farming, juxtaposing both its laudable and repugnant aspects,
he also challenges farmers and innovators to think about how and in what way we should
continue developing the future of food production. Most importantly, what will the role of the
animals be in all this?
