"Upon the announcement that the White finalists of the 2018 Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize had all produced portraits of Black sitters, the historian John Edwin Mason wrote on Twitter that the portraits," like all of western visual culture, swim in a sea of white supremacist cultural flows... like most creators & producers of western visual culture, [they] have not challenged those flows, those ways of seeing."

"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

It’s finally here, and after pre-orders, there’s only a few copies left. Absolutely worth the wait. Awoiska van der Molen — The Living Mountain (Fw:Books, Amsterdam). Link to store in bio. /// A collaboration between the Dutch photographer and musician Thomas Larcher, The Living Mountain is the third publication in which van der Molen probes deeply into the essence of the remote worlds where her images are created. Larcher asked Awoiska to photograph his homeland, the Zillertal Alps in Austria, which in turn became the starting point for him to compose a piece during his residency at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The monochrome landscapes she produced are mixed with sketches and thoughts by Larcher. Moving beyond initial appearances to gradually uncover the identity of the place, Awoiska allows us to patiently experience the landscape in a new way. #perimeterbooks @fw.books @awoiska_vandermolen

Back in stock! Link to store in bio. Miki Soejima began working with photographs after completing her studies in cultural anthropology in Kyoto. Her projects straddle the line between fact and fiction, uncovering the inherent artifice and truths in images, the significance of authorship, and the power of suspended disbelief. This volume proposes a multi-layered view of Japanese contemporary society. The project ponders how our imagination can initiate a process that questions the narratives which surround us and the frameworks that sustain them, evoking a web of histories, myths, and constructed narratives. It comprises photographs taken in and around Tokyo, Okinawa, and other places, interspersed with still-life images. Published by FW: Books (Amsterdam). #perimeterbooks @fw.books

A quiet, meandering, but ultimately poignant book from the archive: Brothers Samuel and Henk Otte follow in the footsteps of their great-grandfather, Rev. Gerrit Hendrik Kersten, an influential Dutch Protestant minister who travelled to the United States in 1939 to give emigrant members of his church encouragement and support. The book’s narrative is woven through archive photographs and diary entries, resulting in a visual journey to the towns, families, churches, and farmsteads that Kersten visited. The book is designed by Amsterdam-based graphic designer and publisher Hans Gremmen of Fw: Books (Amsterdam). #perimeterbooks @fw.books @hans.gremmen

✨ New in our webshop ✨ The Living Mountain by @awoiska_vandermolen This is the third publication in which Awoiska probes deeply into the essence of the remote unspoiled natural worlds where her images are created. Awoiska van der Molen: ‘Regardless of how personal the starting point of my work may be, in the end I hope my images touch the strings of a universal knowledge, something lodged in our bodies, our guts, an intuition that reminds us of where we came from ages ago. A memory of our core existence, our bedrock, unyielding certainty in a very precarious world’. Signed copies are available. #thomaslarcher @hans.gremmen #awoiskavandermolen @wilco_artbooks

Back in stock. Link to store in bio. One of last year’s most astute photo and text books: Michael Ashkin’s Were it Not For (Fw: Books, Amsterdam). American artist Michael Ashkin 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. #perimeterbooks
