Jorg Winde – Baluty

Lecturis 2020 ISBN 9789462262379 Acqn 31119
Hb 19x26cm 144pp col ills £33.75

Baluty is a district in the Polish city of Lodz. During World War II, one of the largest and most
horrifying Jewish ghettos existed here. What the Nazis did not destroy has become residential
again. Jorg Winde's photos taken in Baluty show in a stark yet beautiful way the hard life of the
people who live in the district today. We see how people have lovingly decorated the rooms in
their home with memories and desires. Jorg Winde has captured this special world. The history of
the Holocaust is described in the Baluty district, but only in traces that we can discover by looking
at these photos.

Yu Yamauchi – Planet
Seigensha Art Publishing 2020 ISBN 9784861528057 Acqn 31175
Hb 29x23cm 144pp col ills £61.50

'Planet' follows photographer Yu Yamauchi's five-year journey to the heart of Mongolia and the
Inner Mongolia region in China. His pictures record the different ways of life of the Mongolian
people, from nomadic groups with their reindeer and camels, to city dwellers with their modern
technology. In a way, he is tracing the progress of humanity. The scenes he captures seem to
exist independently of each other, yet all are from the same region, the same time. Travelling
thousands of kilometres, Yamauchi's sense of time and place faded away, leaving him to
contemplate planet Earth itself. A planet with multitudes of worlds, separated only by experiences
and differences in perspective.

Ellen Sheidlin
Seigensha Art Publishing 2020 ISBN 9784861527807 Acqn 31177
Pb 15x21cm 152pp col ills £27

Russian artist and model Ellen Sheidlin provides an almost limitless exploration of millennial
culture with her Instagram feed. Her conceptual self-portrait photography is both whimsical and
weird, and the young woman also uses her doll-like appearance to induce more disturbing,
bizarre undertones and thought-provoking social commentary in her creations. The many different
layers of Ellen's absurd and beautiful dreamscapes point to the perils of social media and our
obsession with technology, or hint at more troubling topics like the situation of LGBTQ+ people in
Russia and today's global existential angst. Escape into her chameleonic fantasy world with this
mind-bending collection.

Loic Seguin - Half-light

Void 2020 ISBN 9786188434127 Acqn 31182
Hb 13x20cm 208pp col ills £42.50

Loic Seguin's first book unveils people from the Parisian neighbourhood of Belleville, a vibrant,
multi-ethnic place. He approaches locals from all walks of life, establishing a connection with
them through conversation, then asks for their cooperation. The portraits in this portfolio are
alternated with inscrutable street scenes and interiors. Seguin uses a harsh flash,
unapologetically exposing the irregularities of inanimate objects and surfaces, thus echoing the
unpolished faces that serve as metaphoric expression of their crude urban environment. The
unpretentious portraits trigger curiosity. Who are these people, and how did they allow the
photographer to come this close?

Toxic Garden
Yundler Brondino Verlag 2020 ISBN 9789657725078 Acqn 31185
Pb 21x28cm 160pp col ills £43.50

Appearing at a crucial time in which we are being forced to reconsider our relationship with the
planet, this book explores the irony of toxic plants. By exposing the fragile beauty of dried
specimens in photographs, we learn of their physical potency in their potential to cause
detrimental harm. Part one is an assemblage of archival images of plants which are found in
Israel and neighbouring countries. Part two is a philosophical meditation that considers the
different facets of reality, providing an opportunity to encounter the speculative aspects of
architecture through plantscapes. This collection is presented by Tel Aviv-based collaborative
design practice AN+. Foreword by Piet Oudolf.

Hb 22x30cm 224pp col ills £38.95

In 2018 Stephan Keppel started collecting works and stories of Amsterdam; the city where he

historic structures. In 'Soft Copy Hard Copy' Stephan Keppel explores and organizes these
structures, creating an organic index of the city. This book is part of Keppel's ongoing research on
the public space, urban structures and reproduction, and is combining his own photographs with
re-photographed archival material, texts, and other (online and offline) found footage.

Paolo Ventura - The Rediscovered Leg

Danilo Montanari Editore 2020 ISBN 9788885449619 Acqn 31187
Pb 24x30cm 40pp col ills £42.95

Some years ago, Paolo Ventura went to Montebello della Battaglia, where in the spring of 1859
the Piedmontese cavalry and French infantry battled against Austrian troops, forcing them back
across the Po River. He had come to photograph the battlefield's ossuary, but was told the leg of
a soldier had been found just a few days before. The bones of the leg and foot still wore the shoe
of a Piedmont solider, the ankle wrapped in a gaiter. A few months later, Ventura discovered a
photograph at a small market that portrayed a young Piedmont officer who, leaning against a
friend, displayed the loss of his right leg. This publication traces the history of this unknown hero
of Montebello.

I Don't Recocgnize Me In The Shadows - Thana Faroq

Lecturis 2020 ISBN 9789462263932 Acqn 31189
Pb 24x31cm 272pp col ills £33.75

Thana Faroq is a Yemeni documentary photographer, storyteller, and educator who left her warn-
torn homeland to seek asylum in the Netherlands. Her work mirrors her life and provides a visual
echo of her voice as she gracefully negotiates themes of memory, boundaries, and violence.
Faroq has a unique approach to working with her subjects, in that she regularly returns to them to
continue sharing their journey. Many of these migrant, stateless individuals were with Faroq
during her transitional period. 'I Don't Recognize Me in the Shadows', her first book, traces her
journey and explores how everything happened: the war, the escape, the transition, and the
unfamiliar.
