🖤 Some installation views from STEPHAN KEPPEL: HARD COPIES, curated by Taco Hidde Bakker 🖤

Still until August 15, 2021, you have the chance to dive into the artist’s extensive city portraits which he also published in book format with FW:Books and to see a portrait-in-progress he developed during his stay in Graz in April 2021.

'Soft Copy Hard Copy Enter Enter' - the zine! - by Stephan Keppel and published by @fw.books
—
Produced for a recent exhibition at Enter Enter - a space for books - Stephan Keppel has translated his book into physical objects for the project space, producing installations based on the pages of the book and investigating the relationship between the book and the installation space as a form of representation and re-creation. These spatial installations are —for this zine— translated back onto paper in a layered collage-like registration, blending all parts of the proces into a new object.
—
Simply yet perfectly produced, the 20 page publication is housed in a folded sheet, and a total bargain at only £9. Over in the N.E.W-I.N section on the website and on the shelves from Weds.

💥 "With so many archives being unearthed and rediscovered these days, it can be hard to get freshly excited about yet another group of t (or family) photos from some obscure locale, and optimistic nostalgia often clouds our judgement of just how good the photographs actually are. But Encampment, Wyoming is an outlier – few photobooks of historical material that I have seen recently have felt as powerful and well made as this one.” — Loring Knoblauch on Collector Daily about 'Encampment Wyoming' 💥 @nicolejeanhill @lorawebbnichols @hans.gremmen

✨✨New Book ✨✨
‘This Creaking Floor and All the Ceilings Below’ by @bart.lunenburg and texts made in collaboration with @taco.hidde ▫️▪️▫️▪️
Where does a book begin and a building end? ‘This Creaking Floor and All the Ceilings Below’ brings together many different facets from the artistic practice of Bart Lunenburg, and his explorations in the built world. Including reproductions of photographs, drawings, scale models, installations, film stills and exhibition views, this labyrinthine book is conceived as an imaginary building. The viewer-visitor is guided along foundations, corridors, rooms brimming with sunlight, radiant windows, concealed doors, enfilades, winding staircases, banisters, and a woven wall. The eyes of the artist fuse with the eyes of the built world, offering fresh reflections on what it means to dwell, remember and dream among the basic elements of architecture through which we daily travel.

⚪️⚫️ ‘There are many pictures of ordinary life, unremarkable moments made remarkable through pictures. All of this is seen through the eyes of an incredibly gifted photographer who despite the generation he belonged to (with its very strong sense of machismo) managed to reveal very tender moments as well.’ Thanks @joergmc for writing about ‘My Japan’ by Issei Suda. 🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔 Read the full review at cphmag.com

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

📚Working with Ben Huff on his book Atomic Island ✨✨ Atomic Island is a portrait of the abandoned WWII and Cold War Naval outpost on the Aleutian island of Adak.

2021년 4월 21일 (수) 이라선 오늘의 책은 스테판 케펠 (Stephan Keppel)의 신간 <Soft Copy Hard Copy>입니다.
⠀
네덜란드 사진가 스테판 케펠은 도시의 텍스처와 구조를 탐구하는 작업을 이어오고 있는 작가로, 전작 <Flat Finish>에서는 뉴욕을 다룬 바 있습니다.
⠀
<Soft Copy Hard Copy>는 스테판 케펠이 기반을 두고 있는 도시 암스테르담을 4년간 탐구한 작업을 담은 사진집입니다. 책은 스테판 케펠이 찍은 사진, 수집한 사진을 재촬영한 사진, 온라인과 오프라인에서 발견한 이미지들이 교차하며 전개됩니다. 스튜디오 내부의 모습부터 사람의 시선이 잘 닿지 않는 고가 도로 아래의 자국이나 기차역 벽면 타일의 스프레이 자국, 콘크리트나 돌 등 건축물 곳곳의 디테일, 커튼 제조 회사의 아카이브에 보관되어 있던 콘택트 시트의 이미지 등 작가는 암스테르담을 구성하는 다채로운 표면들에 시선을 둡니다. 책의 후반부에는 각 이미지에 대한 정보가 기재되어 있습니다.
