Awoiska van der Molen - Sequester (FW:Books, 2014) @awoiska_vandermolen
.
What do you say about a book that so many people have already said so many things about? I’ve reviewed Awoiska van der Molen’s Sequester on my site, so I might as well send you there (you can use the Search function to locate the review).
.
I suppose the one thing I could add here that six years after this book was published, it hasn’t really aged. You know the kind of feeling when you look at a much hyped book a few years later, and suddenly you’re wondering why people there might have made such a big fuss about it. Or you know the feeling when what looked like snazzy design or clever editing or the smart inclusion of certain materials now has become something you see everywhere.
.
Sequester, though, feels as fresh as it felt back when it first came out. I think that speaks volumes both about the photography and about the design and production choices. Nothing was done for pure effect, and — thankfully! — there haven’t been a huge number of Van der Molen clones going out into the landscape to make this work (compare this with the road-trip crowd…).
.
So this really is timeless work in the best possible sense.
.
This is Jörg Colberg (@joergmc), writer (CPhMag.com), educator, and photographer (his first photobook, Vaterland, is going to be released by @kerberverlag in late 2020).

Trigger's back with some new publishing material!

New essay by Fred Ritchin: 'The Cat, the Photograph and the In-Between'

This essay is presented as a pre-publication of Trigger #2: Uncertainty which will appear in its printed version in the first week of November 2020. This issue deals with the normative potentials of the speculative in documentary photography, film and visual arts. With essay contributions by, among many others, Duncan Forbes, Liz Orton, Tj Demos, Zeynep Kubat and Steven Humblet. Artist contributions by, among others, Hoda Afshar, Georges Senga, Max Pinckers and Chao Maina. Trigger #2: Uncertainty is a collaboration between FOMU (Antwerp), The School of Speculative Documentary An Van Dienderen, Max Pinckers, Michiel De Cleene, Rosine Mbakam, Thomas Bellinck) and Fw:Books ( Hans Gremmen, Amsterdam).

The American professor, editor and critic, Fred Ritchin, started answering our call on Uncertainty before the pandemic, but soon realised that, as human life became even more uncertain, a 'reconsideration of both the beneficial and destructive uses of images became more urgent'. Trigger shares his "timely" reflections in advance, as a way to open up public debate on photography's 'open-ended potentialities' during these challenging times. Ritchin makes his point about what the 'making of photography' entails these days, zooms in on the intense interactions he had with his photography students the last few months, and discusses whether the use of apps to blur faces is a good thing or not, And inbetween, there is that cat, trying to make sense of it all.

Image: screenshot from '100,000 faces', project by Matt Korostoff, discussed in Ritchin's piece.

#artbookfriday: Michael Ashkin – were it not for⁠⠀
⁠⠀
American artist @workroom_general works across a range of media: painting, photography, video, sculpture, and text. Uniting these diverse practices is a conceptual focus on the way that notions of spaces and place, landscape and self are shaped by wider political and economic forces. The photographs in this series were all shot in the Mojave Desert and are joined in this publication with a textual work. The combination creates a powerful sense of unease throughout the document, one that explores the idea of fear and haunting as an effect of the violent legacies contained within the landscape, as well as a function of the technologies that we use to represent it. ⁠⠀

✨📚✨ "To listen to others, to listen or be receptive of the world — there’s so much we can do to learn something or to expose ourselves to something we’re not aware of. Especially during these troubled times, maybe we should really listen a lot more, be more receptive. As Van der Molen demonstrates, being able to listen allows for the making of some very beautiful photography. And there is tremendous consolation to be had from sheer beauty." — Jörg Colberg talking about 'The Living Mountain' by Awoiska van der Molen. https://cphmag.com/the-living-mountain/

at www.collectordaily.com : So honored reading Loring Knoblauch’s review on my latest publication and his view on the landscape work that I made in the past decade.

This publication, designed by @hans.gremmen was born from a collaboration with the Austrian modern-classic composer Thomas Larcher. We still can’t wait to bring the music with images performed by @askoschon berg ensemble in Amsterdam, London, Innsbruck. - in safe circumstances ...🎼

"As an integrated artistic statement, Miss Cox is

"As an integrated artistic statement, Miss Cox is an exciting investigation of femininity and movement, presented in a beautifully produced photobook. It immerses us in a historical mystery, letting us follow the artist’s concerns, and ultimately, providing a thoughtful and powerful reinterpretation of the original source material. Wessels’s series moves away from pure objectification, and brings life and empathy to the study of a female body type most have overlooked." — Olga Yatskevich about 'Miss Cox' by @marikenwessels Read the full article here: https://collectordaily.com/mariken-wessels-miss-cox/

Back in stock. Mariken Wessels — Miss Cox (Fw: Books, Amsterdam). Link to store in bio. This project by Dutch photographer Mariken Wessels (1963) is a multifaceted artistic translation of her fascination with an anonymous woman who posed for Eadweard Muybridge’s camera in 1885. In the 24-image sequence “Arising from the Ground”, the obese woman, who was supposedly named Miss Cox, can be observed as she moves from lying down to a fully upright position. Wessels was inspired by this woman to start making large clay sculptures and photographing obese female models swimming underwater. In these images she focuses on the landscapes the human body assumes when immersed in water. The book also presents studio views, sketches, and other research. #perimeterbooks @fw.books
