My Japan
by Issei Suda
Published by @fw.books

👉Available in bookshops
👉and soon in our online shop

For Issei Suda (1940–2019), photography was a means to document the ordinary and reveal the extraordinary.

Traditional country festivals were a favourite subject, but he also saw theatre in Tokyo’s street life.

Suda had a talent for square format compositions and is known for the technical perfection of his black-and-white prints as well as for his unique and surrealistic visual style.

'Issei Suda – My Japan' is an introduction to his life’s work, from the 1960s until the publication of his final book in 2018. It includes rarely seen photographs from his early stage photographer days for the avant-garde theatre troupe Tenjo Sajiki, and iconic series, such as Fushi Kaden and Waga Tokyo 100.

'Springs and Wells, Manhattan and the Bronx’ by @stanleygreenberg 🟦🌱🟦🌱

Between 1897 and 1903 James Reuel Smith rode around Manhattan and the Bronx on his bicycle with a camera and a tripod and documented the springs and wells that were disappearing as the city grew and as Croton water reached more residents. He left money in his will for the New-York Historical Society to publish a book of the work which they did in 1938. Stanley revisited every site in the book on foot or by bicycle between 2016 and 2020. ‘Springs and Wels’ combines the photography of Stanley Greenberg with all the original photography and complete original texts by James Reuel Smith. Design by @hans.gremmen

... and just like that, FW Books presents a masterpiece ... Nicole Jean Hill’s edit of one incredible unknown photographer’s pictures - Lora Webb Nichols - an archive spanning almost 50 years 1899-1948, all made in Wyoming, where she lived since her early teens. Hill’s edit is impeccable, the fluidity of its sequence showcases Nichols’ obvious passion for photography, the love, above all, for the medium in its ability to render moments in iconic stature, technically and compositionally flawless, yet with a humbleness that allows the subject and their peripheral environment to speak ultimately to the viewer. At least that’s how I see things after the first couple passes. No need to even mention the mechanical challenges Nichols surmounted with box cameras of the day, slow film, capturing sometimes very fleeting moments - ie. front cover image!!! Not one for declaring favorite books of the year, but I’d say 2021 just witnessed it, as this may also be arguably one of the most eloquently crafted photobooks of the past decade or three. Beautifully printed, the mechanics left in the hands of designer - yet again - Hans Gremmen at FW. Another book falling in the lap to reignite the lust for making pictures. What else may come of Nichols’ archive, imagining the monumental feat Hill met with such a consummate photographer’s archive. Get this book. (Pardon quick phone snaps, meant only to show a few frames, but clearly not depicting layout of spreads, singular pages, etc...)

✨✨”I usually find photography that centres on its own process tedious and boring. But Talmor’s is one of the few cases where process and idea actually overlap, so I’m always made to look beyond process. In other words, the work does not limit itself to ‘look what I can do’ — that sad end point of so much very process-based photography.” — @joergmc writing for @conabout Constructed Landscapes by @dafnatalmor ⚡️⚡️

Telkens opnieuw, maar net weer anders – Stephan Keppel fotografeert Amsterdam - Boeken hebben iets definitiefs, maar Stephan Keppels Soft Copy Hard Copy weet daaraan te ontsnappen. Langs stoepranden, grachtencurves en resten van lang geleden ingekerfde boodschappen ga je met de kunstenaar mee op zwerftocht door Amsterdam. Achter schijnbaar achteloos achtergelaten tekens gaan bijzondere verhalen schuil, blijkt wanneer Lotte Haagsma het boek leest en de tentoonstelling bij Enter Enter bezoekt.

‘Miss Cox (Nude – Arising from the Ground)’ is a many-sided artistic translation of artist Mariken Wessels’ fascination for an anonymous woman who had posed for Eadweard Muybridge’s camera in 1885. In the 24-image sequence ‘Arising from the Ground’ (plate 286) the obese woman, who was supposedly named Miss Cox, can be traced from lying down to a full upright position. Affected by her appearance, Wessels began to make large clay sculptures and to photograph obese female models swimming underwater. In these photographs Wessels focuses on the landscapes which a body assumes impressed by water. Besides the underwater series and photographic views of the sculptures, ‘Miss Cox’ also contains studio views including sketches and other research materials.
