Simen Johan - Until The Kingdom ComesYossi Milo Gallery 2014 ISBN 9780615855875 Acqn 23644Pb 32x39cm 64pp 26col ills 45

Simen Johan's ongoing series of photographs and sculptures, Until the Kingdom Comes, begunin 2005, depicts a natural world that is at once familiar and otherworldly. Most (but not all) of theimages are intricate digital constructs incorporating elements the artist photographed in variousgeographical locations. Towering giraffes, captured in various US zoos, populate a hazy, desolatelandscape created from images taken in Turkey, Bali and Iceland; spectacular Javan peacocks

from Asia are camouflaged within a Spanish pepper tree; and the interior of an Icelandic volcanoforms the setting for a gooey tar pit where Peruvian yellow-hooded blackbirds nest. Each imageconfuses the boundaries between opposing forces such as the natural and the artificial, theserene and the eerie, the primal and the mindful. These dynamic tensions reflect the internalconflicts and contradictions inherent to human nature that fuel Johan's work. Only a limitedquantity of this oversize, unbound volume is available.

Hiroshi Sugimoto - On The Beach

Amana 2014 ISBN 9784907519032 Acqn 23850Pb 26x36cm 68pp 28ills 2col 44.50

In 1990, photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto visited the seas of New Zealand. On one particulardeserted beach, he discovered hundreds of car parts, probably from the 1960s, disintegrated andcorroded by decades under the waves. Photographing them individually, he imagined that humancivilization had ended, thinking that the sight of crafted objects rotting away is at once dreadfuland beautiful. This series of heavily black-and-white images of decaying metal on the sand arereproduced in this large-format photo book, accompanied by an introspective text by Sugimoto onthe nature of the sea and the inexorable, practically incomprehensible, passage of time.

Each book takes the form of a visual short story based onimages made in Northern Italy and Sardinia between 2009 and 2011, and includes a short text byMarlene Klein, written in response to Gossage's pictures, which reflects the 30 years that Kleinhas spent living and working in Venice.

Eugene Richards - Red Ball Of A Sun Slipping DownMany Voices Press 2014 ISBN 9780991218905 Acqn 23908Hb 31x25cm 112pp 52ills 26col 35

The Arkansas Delta has been called at different times the soul of the South, the land ofopportunity, a place ruled by race, a forgotten place. Eugene Richards (born 1944) first went tothe delta as a VISTA volunteer in 1969. It was less than a year after the assassination of Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr., a time when cotton, religion, prejudice and poverty were whatcharacterized most peoples' lives. Increasingly drawn to this both sorrowful and beautiful place,Richards would stay for more than four years, working as a social worker and reporter until thecommunity service organization and newspaper he helped found were forced to close their doors.But over the years he would keep returning. Red Ball of a Sun Slipping Downis a book that

speaks of remembrance and change, of struggle and privation, of loving and loss, of then andnow. Black-and-white photographs made long years ago but never before published areinterwoven with recent colour photographs and, in turn, with a short story that relates Richards'relationship with an impoverished delta family as well as a growing awareness of his own agingand mortality.

Ari Versluis & Ellie Uyttenbroek - Exactitudes 20th Anniversary Ed. expanded With 10 NewSeriesnai010 publishers 2014 ISBN 9789462081710 Acqn 24029Hb 24x32cm 320pp ills 136col 41.95

Inspired by interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, Rotterdam-basedphotographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek have systematically documentednumerous identities. They call their series 'Exactitudes': a contraction of 'exact' and 'attitude'. Byregistering their subjects in an identical framework they provide an almost scientific record ofpeople's attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity. Theapparent contradiction between individuality and uniformity is taken to such extremes that theartistic aspect dominates the purely documentary element. For this twentieth anniversary editionthey produced ten new series. Rotterdam's heterogeneous street scene remains a major sourceof inspiration for them, although they have also visited Milan, Beijing, Rio de Janeiro, Casablanca,Praia (Cabo Verde), New York, Bordeaux, London and Paris.

Dutch artist Jan Hoek engages with the nasty, funny, painful or touching things that happen whenphotographing people. His work reflects the often tricky ethics involved in the relationshipbetween the photographer and model. Hoek saw the Masai people photographed time and again

in the same way: jumping in a natural setting while wearing traditional clothing and jewellery.Nowadays, however, more Masai are living in towns with all the modern conveniences thatentails, like mobile phones, cars and trendy sneakers. For this photo series, he gathered sevenurban Masai in an attempt to find a new way to photograph them. The resulting portraits are bothpersonal and absurd.

With its fragmented images of nude bodies and voyeuristic glimpses of erogenous zones,counterposed with various objects and still life scenes saturated with meaning, this photo book by

Aaron McElroy gives clues to a hidden narrative of sex, its bodily rituals and emotionalconsequences from a female perspective. What do women do to make themselves attractive?What does consent actually mean? How often do women feel guilt or regret, or what happenswhen they are left to deal with the aftermath, alone? Somewhere between a mysterious note andblood on the shower floor lies the answer.

As Douglas Fogle explains, inLambris work the subjective takes precedence over the objective and the architectural detail iselevated to a place of prominence over the totality of the building.

Published in conjunction with an exhibition of images by Tomoko Yoneda at the TokyoMetropolitan Museum of Photography, this catalogue reflects how her work tends towardsphotography as a documentary medium, addressing visible subjects while also projecting thememories and histories associated with places and things. In her older work, this especially dealswith subjects involved in the modernisation of Japan. In this way, Yoneda asks the viewer torethink the essence of reality, and of what we are actually able to see. Through her static andcompelling images, our awareness expands through new series and videos by the artist, plus anessay by Fujimura Satomi.

Photography exists by the virtue of light, but the landscapes in Awoiska van der Molensphotographs loom out of the darkness. Her monochrome photographic works arise out of a desireto penetrate deeply into the core of the isolated world in which she photographs. Van der Molen isknown for her monochrome landscapes. She stands out as someone who remains rooted in theriches of analogue photography and printing; expressing these roots in an extreme manner bycreating monumental pieces that combine intentionality in choice of subject and photographic

craftsmanship.

Yukichi Watabe - Stakeout Diary 2

nd

EditionRoshin Books 2014 ISBN 9784990723002 Acqn 24365Hb 23x31cm 104pp 74ills 45

Yukichi Watabe documented the investigation of a grisly murder that had occurred in Mito (IbarakiPrefecture) in 1958. Watabe closely followed two police detectives, one from the MetropolitanPolice Department and the other local. Their investigation involved stakeouts around downtownareas of Tokyo, areas that have since changed beyond recognition.Some photographs from the series appeared in a magazine in the same year but there was noopportunity for any further publication. As a result, the photographs were little known. In 2006, aBritish dealer in old books found 120 sheets of these photo works at Jinbou-chou (central Tokyo),and the work was published in Paris in 2011. This photo book,A Criminal Investigation, attractedattention all over the world.For this new publication, we have borrowed negatives from Hiroyuki Watabe, the son of YukichiWatabe, for a fresh selection, using prints made especially for the purpose.
