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

Thrilled to just have launched the crowdfunding campaign for the production of my upcoming book ‘This Creaking Floor and All the Ceilings Below’, in collaboration with graphic designer @hans.gremmen, publisher @fw.books and writer @taco.hidde .
Check out my page at @voordekunst for more information about the project and how you can support the production by pre-ordering a copy of the book or by buying one of the editions specially made for this crowdfunding! [LINK IN BIO] ‘This Creaking Floor and All the Ceilings Below’ shares the title with my current exhibition at @fotodok_org & @whereiscasco and brings this exhibition together with my previous works and projects over the past few years.
The publication is approached as a building in and of itself and takes the ‘enfilade’ as a point of departure for the spatial layout of the book. The book unfolds as an imaginary building, in which leafing through the pages is like entering different rooms, hallways, exhibition halls, and wings.

Become a patron of the book and help to make this production possible!

Michael Ashkin / Were It Not For

アメリカ人アーティスト、Michael Ashkin（マイケル・アシュキン）は絵画、写真、映像作品、彫刻など、様々なメディアを通じて作品を制作している。それは空間と場所、風景と自己の概念がより広い政治的・経済的な力によって形作られているということに焦点を当てるためである。
本書はモハべ砂漠で撮影された写真に、テキストを組み合わせた作品集である。写真とテキストを組み合わせることにより、作品全体に強力な不安感を生み出しており、これは言葉が写真のイメージをどのように変えるのかという試みである。

Another brilliant book from Fw:Books (Amsterdam), this time in collaboration with Fotomuseum Antwerpen. Trigger is a new platform launched for research, reflection, and dialogue on all things photographic. This first publication on 'Impact' is made in close collaboration with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KABK), The Hague, and guest editor Donald Weber. It aims to cast impact as a re-enactment or assertion of radical intimacy, initiate a different gaze on the world, and show that impact can also exist within an ecology or geography of photography. Through 20 contributions by Ariella Azoulay, Lewis Bush, Taco Hidde Bakker, Andrew Jackson and Savannah Dodd, Shahidul Alam, Andrea Stultiens, and more, we learn how impact is social, participative, conflictual. A must. Find on our webstore. #perimeterbooks @fw.books

Drew Nikonowicz / This World And Others Like It

宇宙探査機や仮想現実、またはビデオゲームなどの中には、何千もの現実が存在している。
今の時代の未開拓な土地に関しては、写真家に代わりロボットが人間の経験とは完全に切り離されたイメージを生成している。
本書は、アメリカ人写真家のDrew Nikonowicz（ドリュー・ニコノヴィッチ）が、コンピューターモデリングとアナログ写真のプロセスを組み合わせることで、21世紀における探検家の役割に関して調査した作品集。19世紀の調査画像の言語を引用しながら、現在の記録作成の方法との関係に疑問を投げかけ、雄大な景色というものは、テクノロジーの境界を通じてのみアクセスできるということを訴えている。

Today's book, Wednesday, April 1, 2020, is '99:1' by Arjan de Nooy. This book by Dutch writer Arjan de Nooij was inspired by French novelist Raymond Queneau 1947 work, Exercices de style. Raymond Queneau’s book transforms a story that begins between two men in the background of a bus into ninety-nine stylistic styles, such as present, letters, hymns, advertisements, and spell-changing games.
Arjan De Nooy's 99:1 is a book that contains 99 images created from variations of a bus and a negative film containing two men. From changing the format of the image, such as Polaroid, Screenshot, 3D, Puzzle, Collage, you can see the landscape photo, traffic sign, flower photo, etc. created by cutting and changing some elements of the image. It also includes images created by following styles such as Alfred Stiglitz, Richard Avedon, Man Ray, David Hockney, and Talbot. The image's 'stylish' image is arranged at the end of the book.
It is well thought that photographs take precedence over the way in which they appear, and thus are often thought of as a window to understand reality. However, just as Raymon Kno showed that stylistic practice is not transparent in, Arjan de Nooy also shows that the grammar of the image itself can be a crucial role in accepting and understanding reality. (This text is translated automatically into English)

2020년 4월 1일 (수) 이라선 오늘의 책은 아르얀 드 노이(Arjan de Nooy)의 <99:1>입니다. 네덜란드 작가 아르얀 드 노이의 이 책은 프랑스 소설가 레이몽 크노의 1947년작 <문체연습(Exercices de style)>에서 영감을 받아 만들어졌습니다. 레이몽 크노의 <문체연습>은 버스를 배경으로 두 남자 사이에서 시작되는 이야기를 현재형, 편지, 찬가, 광고, 철자 바꾸기 놀이 등 아흔아홉 가지 문체로 변주해 재구성한 책입니다.
⠀
아르얀 드 노이의 <99:1>는 버스와 두 남자가 담긴 한 장의 네거티브 필름으로부터 변주하여 만들어낸 99가지 이미지를 담은 책입니다. 폴라로이드, 레이오그래프, 스크린샷, 3D, 퍼즐, 콜라주와 같이 이미지의 형식을 바꾼 것부터 이미지의 일부 요소를 자르고 변경하여 만들어낸 풍경사진, 교통표지판, 꽃사진등을 볼 수 있습니다. 또한 알프레드 스티글리츠, 리차드 아베돈, 만 레이, 데이비드 호크니, 탈보트 등의 스타일을 따라해 만든 이미지도 담겨 있습니다. 어떤 이미지의 '문체'로 만든 이미지인지는 책의 후반부에 정리되어 있습니다.
⠀
사진은 보여지는 방식보다도 벌어졌던 현실이 우선한다고 곧잘 여겨지며, 그래서 현실을 이해하기 위한 창으로 생각되곤 합니다. 하지만 레이몽 크노가 <문체연습>에서 문체는 투명한 것이 아님을 보여준 것처럼, 아르얀 드 노이 역시 이미지의 문법 자체가 현실을 받아들이고 이해하는데 결정적인 역할이 될 수 있음을 보여줍니다.

Both wondrous and quietly cataclysmic, Drew Nikonowicz’s The World and Others Like It (Fw:Books, Amsterdam) is a reassessment or landscape photography that speaks pointedly to our virtual experience of the world during this very strange present time. Link to the store in bio. We’re still shipping books every day. -
Thousands of explorable realities exist through imagery from rovers and probes, virtual role-playing, and video games. Within the contemporary wilderness, robots have replaced photographers as mediators, producing images completely dislocated from human experience. This suggests that the sublime landscape is now only accessible through the boundaries of technology. Drew Nikonowicz investigates the role of the 21st-century explorer by combining computer modelling with analogue photographic processes. Drawing upon the language of survey images from the 19th century, he questions the relationship with current methods of record making. @fw.books @drew_nikonowicz @hans.gremmen #perimeterbooks

Now shipping: Mariken Wessels - Miss Cox by @fw.books . 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. #marikenwessels #fwbooks #photography #clay #photographybook #supportyourlocalbookstore #nowshipping

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.
