Between 1985 and 2013 Bertien van Manen travelled

Between 1985 and 2013 Bertien van Manen travelled to the Appalachian Mountains to photograph women who worked in the mines: Georgene, Libby, Margie, Mavis, among others. 🌑🌑 In 1986 Bertien wrote an article about these women for Dutch Magazine 'Vrij Nederland’. All photos, and the complete text are in her latest book ‘Gluckauf’, and are also still on view in her exhibition at @schunck_glaspaleis in Heerlen 🖤 @bertienvanmanen 📓 The book is longlisted for Book of the Year by @photoespana_

Now available: ’The Radiant Screen’ by Ine Lam

Now available: ’The Radiant Screen’ by Ine Lamers. 🟣🔵🟡🟢
A project about the closed city of Zheleznogorsk, hidden in the heart of Siberia. Zheleznogorsk is one of the twelve (still-)closed cities in Russia. It was established in the early 1950s to serve as a top-secret site for military scientific research, designed as a utopian city according to an artistic masterplan. As a secret city, Zheleznogorsk did not officially exist or appear on any maps. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, its residents voted on whether to maintain their distance from the rest of the world and stay ‘closed’. They chose to remain in splendid isolation.’The Radiant Screen’ is a mesh of evidence for which Lamers collaborated with various people, each participant reflecting different aspects of the dream. Lamers gathered evidence, verbal descriptions, testimonies, and archival documents. Combined with her own photographs and produced recordings, this publication present a layered story of ‘the last socialist paradise on earth’, full of controversy with gaps and glitches.

Now available: ‘Trigger #4 Together’ 🟣🟡

Now available: ‘Trigger #4 Together’ 🟣🟡 with @fomuantwerp @triggerfomu Guest editor @susanmeiselas 🟡🟣 Distribution by @ideabooksnl
‘Trigger #4: Together’ explores various forms of collaboration in photography. Sixteen contributions engage with strategies of co-creation that stretch notions of authorship and ownership, breaking through existing heteronormative, state-owned, or hyper-individual categories. In this issue, you can find essays by internationally renowned researchers and writers such as Elspeth Brown, Ileana Selejan and Hettie Judah. It further gives an insight into the forms of collaboration and community in diverse photography practices by Jonathas de Andrade, Grace Ndiritu, Leigh Ledare, Dries Segers, Meghann Riepenhoff and Vincen Beeckman. You can also read some conversations between photographers, critics and curators about socially engaged photography and curating. Rabiaâ Benlahbib and Taylor Dorrell each go out and talk with two different people from different generations, genders and backgrounds, working in the broader field of socially engaged practices. When comparing both conversations, a small history pops up of the changing role of the curator since the 1990s. Nato Thompson would have ‘curator’ changed in ‘infrastructure builder’. Both Rita Ouédraogo and Mariama Attah on their part, see a crucial role for the curator as caregiver in making sure the focus is on ‘togethering’ as a process. Last but not least, a large part of this issue consists of artists and photographers such as Debmalya Roy Choudhuri, Susanne Kriemann, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, Kaali Collective, Rehab Eldalil, Hoda Afshar and Anthony Luvera, who have repurposed existing work in answering our ‘call for collaboration’.

✨✨Now available: 'Minor Mysteries' by Hans van

✨✨Now available: 'Minor Mysteries' by Hans van der Meer. 💥 A book about his early work made in and around Budapest, in the mid 1980s, during his time as a student at Rijksacademie Amsterdam. 'Minor Mysteries' provides insight into what fascinated Van der Meer as a young, curious outsider in a country that at first sight seemed alienating and distant, but where he quickly found his way. Without a preconceived plan, he let his intuition guide him, wandering the streets like a director collecting scenes for a script. This is how he stumbled upon wonderous, playful, at times tragicomic situations. In retrospect, the series is like a monument to an era in transition. An era that was nearing its end, in a city in the heart of Europe, that looked battered under the weight of history, but with hope for something new. 📚🥂📚🥂 Also available as limited edition (signed and numbered), with a print (image 9-10) 🖊

🎇🎆 We are very happy to share that ‘Waiting for Midnight’ by @bharatsikkastudio is now available!✨✨

Taking the name from his daughters poem, Bharat Sikka explores his village in Goa, ‘Salvodor du Mundo’, where the mundane and the mysterious collide. The photographs in “Waiting for Midnight“ are a culmination of what has been seen, sensed and experienced over the last 15 years. The Polaroid image creates a nostalgic memory, blurring the line between the past and the present. The work is made around the eve of 2020, waiting for the new year, waiting for midnight.

The Sapper by @bharatsikkastudio is now available

The Sapper by @bharatsikkastudio is now available in our webshop, and for bookshops to order @ideabooksnl ✨📕✨📕✨text by @pimcharlottecotton 🙏

Bharat Sikka’s 'The Sapper' is as multi-layered as the relationship that it narrates between a father and an adult son. Through photography, Sikka creates the possibilities for observation, recollection, close comparison, and collaboration, and gives this long-term project a title that both describes and belies its substance. 'The Sapper' is an entitling that offers up a cue for the viewer: an explanation of the circumstances, behaviors and predilections that we can read into the portrayal of this former “sapper” of the Indian Army Corps of Engineers. It suggests a double-edged understanding of this father—the push and pull of his sense of selfhood—as both held in his public, now-historical role, and despite of it. The title could be read as holding its subject at an observable distance and implies, perhaps, the urge of an adult child to adopt a vantage point of parity from which to see their father as another adult. It gestures towards the idea of photography as an act of inherent scrutiny and of pinpointing and fixing its ostensible and complicated subject.

Just in time for Paris: 'The Sapper’ by @bharatsikkastudio with a text by @pimcharlottecotton
🔴✨🔴✨🔴✨
Join us for a signing this Saturday at @offprint_projects at 6PM
📚 🥂

“‘The Sapper’ is a story of companionship with neither the patriarch nor the photographer commanding superiority over the other. There is a negotiated equality that happens within the photographic space that they create together, where ideas are exchanged and their authorship is fluidly passed between father and son. Sikka finds these visual signifiers from within the close proximity of his encounters with his father—amplifying, annotating and re-enacting them through his own photographic ordering and assembling. Father and adult son become inseparable in their shared endeavors. It calls to mind Umberto Eco’s belief that what we become is formed from the ‘little scraps of wisdom’ that fathers teach us unwittingly and indirectly.” — CC
