FALLING FROM A HEIGHT.MARTIJN BERK

Martijn Berk writes on his website: “Falling from a height tells the story of my obsession for a 20-year-old boy. At first sight, the project might seem to be just a personal document, but at a second glance the project also raises questions that could be applicable to everyone: How far do you go in the quest for intimacy, how do you deal with the primal forces that are awakened? And just how does the power play work between two people?”

Falling from a height contains more than 4000 photos as contact sheets.

JOHNNY’S HERE.MARLIES DE CLERCK

Here’s Johnny is a visual impression of Marlies’ life, seen through the lenses of many many disposable cameras. She always carries one with her and shoots whatever catches her eye. Sometimes it feels more like drawing than photographing, she says.

Peter Dekens about Touch: “Stijn is a young man (23). He was born blind and lives in a modest apartment somewhere in the city. This is the only place in the world where he can move so freely. The table, the chairs, the kitchen and the bed aren’t obstacles for him.“

COMING HOME,ANY DAY NOWMELISSA MABESOONE

In Coming home, any day now Melissa Mabesoone tries to grasp an indefinable place, a spot stuck between nostalgia and utopia. She calls the book ‘a tale about the imaginary’. It’s a journey through (re-)constructed, memorized, found places...

THE FOURTH WALL.MAXPINCKERS

Martin Parr said it best: “The sleeper book of the year is Max Pinckers’ The Fourth Wall by this emerging young Belgian photographer. It is a very nice production, and this self-published book, on a charmingly cheap newsprint examines the idea of the Indian film world and the escapism of this, alongside a very good set of contemporary images. These two ideas are woven together with great skill and the book just seems to work very well.”

ONE AND A HALF METER.PETER PUKLUS

Jörg Colberg -a pillar in the online photography community- re-viewed One and a half meter: “The fact that the book is a relatively small production only enhances the effect of the work. The book trusts its viewers to understand the preciousness as coming from the photo-graphs, not from a lavish production. If there is a good example for how a smaller book can be preferable, here is one.”

REMEMBER THE WHITE HORSES.STEFAN VANTHUYNE

Stefan Vanthuyne writes about his book: “In more ways than I could have imagined, becoming a father has been an overwhelming experi-ence. With the beauty of parenthood came a vulnerability that I had never felt before. It left me with a heart full of doubts and a head full of questions.

Our first child was born in July 2007. In June 2009, his second birth-day just around the corner, we travelled to the Ardèche region in France. The photographs in this book were made as a record of our days spent there.

Away from an everyday context, far from our daily routines and pat-terns, things rise to the surface. Relationships become visible. The incredible bond between a mother and her son. (What is my part?) Almost tangible. Having returned to these photographs many times since then, it took me until now to realize this. To see and to recog-nize.”

THE SEVENTH ROW OF SEATS.PETER WATERSCHOOT

The Seventh Row of Seats [Preparing The Scene] is a collection of Waterschoot’s dystopian photographs. Dark, brooding, timeless, the images seduce slowly and offer no remorse. All exits are blocked, the viewer is trapped.

PLACE AND.SUZANNA ZAK

Suzanna about Place And: “Long story short is that I ended up in the Yukon because of the small batch of boreal forest up in Dolly Sods; the highest plateau east of the Mississippi River. I’m sitting in the Midnight Sun a whole 3,792 miles away from Davis, West Virginia. It’s the last song of karaoke that night. Everyone in the bar knows the words. I’m the only person there who’s ever been to West Virginia, but that doesn’t stop everyone from singing, “country roads, take me home, to the place I belong, West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads...”
