📚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. Archival and contemporary pictures weave together a complex story of our westernmost front against communism, and the people who live among the remnants of our past military ambitions.

💥💥Very happy to see an unbound copy of "Springs and Wells, Manhattan and the Bronx” by Stanley Greenberg. 🌱🌱 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 Wells’ is a 500 page book, which combines the photography of Stanley Greenberg with all the original photography and complete original texts by James Reuel Smith.

Printing 'Issei Suda – My Japan’; a book made in collaboration with @fomuantwerp and Frits Gierstberg about the work of Issei Suda (1940-2019). 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'. In the interview included in this book, Suda called every photograph his favourite: “For me, they work together as a photographic album that reflects myself and my times.” This publication accompanies the first retrospective of his work outside Japan, organised by FOMU, opening May 6.

... 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.

Lees het verhaal van Lotte vandaag op metropolism.com

‘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.

‘Constructed Landscapes’ is an ongoing project by photographer Dafna Talmor that consists of landscapes created through a process of collaged and montaged colour negatives shot in different locations.
.
While reconfiguring the images, she generates a space that defies specificity; transient landscapes that blur place, memory, and time in a conflation of reality and the imaginary.
.
These reference historical processes, such as early pictorialist tendencies of combination printing and modernist experiments with the materiality of film, yet her work also engages with contemporary discourses on manipulation, the analogue/digital divide, and the effects these have on
photography’s status.
