In 2017 I published my book Adornments with @fw.books Hans Gremmen did the fantastic graphic design and @wilco_artbooks did the fabulous printing. Still very happy. The book also includes the #Rembrandseries that I did for the @museumhetrembrandthuis thanks to all and many supporters who made it possible. 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

It’s finally here, and after pre-orders, there’s only a few copies left. Absolutely worth the wait. Awoiska van der Molen — The Living Mountain (Fw:Books, Amsterdam). Link to store in bio. /// A collaboration between the Dutch photographer and musician Thomas Larcher, The Living Mountain is the third publication in which van der Molen probes deeply into the essence of the remote worlds where her images are created. Larcher asked Awoiska to photograph his homeland, the Zillertal Alps in Austria, which in turn became the starting point for him to compose a piece during his residency at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The monochrome landscapes she produced are mixed with sketches and thoughts by Larcher. Moving beyond initial appearances to gradually uncover the identity of the place, Awoiska allows us to patiently experience the landscape in a new way. #perimeterbooks @fw.books @awoiska_vandermolen

•
Back in stock! Link to store in bio. Miki Soejima began working with photographs after completing her studies in cultural anthropology in Kyoto. Her projects straddle the line between fact and fiction, uncovering the inherent artifice and truths in images, the significance of authorship, and the power of suspended disbelief. This volume proposes a multi-layered view of Japanese contemporary society. The project ponders how our imagination can initiate a process that questions the narratives which surround us and the frameworks that sustain them, evoking a web of histories, myths, and constructed narratives. It comprises photographs taken in and around Tokyo, Okinawa, and other places, interspersed with still-life images. Published by FW: Books (Amsterdam). #perimeterbooks @fw.books

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

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。
