🎉🎉 Thrilled to see ‘Isivumelwano’ by @mlangenisabelo shortlisted for the 2022 PhotoBook Award by Aperture and Paris Photo ✨✨ Many thanks to all involved, specially to @huismarseille @blankprojects @zwaanlenoir 🌿🌿

🌱✨🌱 Very happy to present our new title ‘Stick Holding Branch’ by @wytskevankeulen 📚✨📚

Since 2009, Wytske van Keulen continuously visited several individuals in France, The United States and Japan who, for different reasons, chose to set aside our strongly economized and de-spiritualized world. The absence of inhabitants in the depicted living environments of Stick Holding Branch make the significance of the photographs shift from a documentary-like basis to the realm of the image, freed from space and time. Accompanied by an extensive selection of correspondence and fragments of personal notes, Van Keulen’s work shows an intimate portrait of a global community redeemed from society’s demanding expectations. 💫📚💫

Now available ‘ANK - Another Kind of Need’ by @marijn.bax ✨✨✨ This project by Marijn Bax consists of a publication and audio work (www.anotherkindofneed.nl 🎧) All images and sounds are from the garden of Ank van Peski, Heesterlust, in Leidschendam, the Netherlands. For three years Marijn walked the many paths of this two-hectare garden: a long and narrow stretched piece of land descending thirteen feet into de meadows of the Dutch peat-land area. Here she watched, wondered, observed, photographed and recorded the human hand at work. Step by step Marijn became more aware of the visual, physical and mental interplay of the depth and layers in this enchanting garden and the need of gardening. 🌿🌱 design by Linda van Deursen

Just in time for @unseenamsterdam : ‘Imagine’

Just in time for @unseenamsterdam : ‘Imagine’ by Florian Schwarz. A book about statelessness. 🌏🌍🌎In collaboration with an NGO, Florian was able to get in contact with people who have no officially recognized nationality. He spoke with them about their everyday lives, their experiences with statelessness, and portrayed them – resulting in an extraordinary symbiosis between image and text, between art and society. ✨📚✨ available in shops and online soon.

Now available: ‘Footprint’ by @gercoderuijter and @delpeutpeter 📚✈️📚✈️
Signing at @unseenamsterdam on Saturday 6pm at our table of the Bookmarket 🖋🖋

Footprint is exploring ways of mapping information and aerial and satellite photography of the landscape in general and Will Rogers World Airport (OKC) specifically. 🌎🌍🌏
As an artist, Gerco de Ruijter started out looking at landscapes from the perspective of a kite. From above, the world he photographed usually looked like an abstract map. About ten years ago, he shifted his interest to Google Earth. The satellite images seemed to be made by a kite from outer space. Together with writer and filmmaker Peter Delpeut they set out on a visual investigation into a phenomenon which they encountered on Google Earth, looking at airports.
In the winter, planes are stripped of ice. On the concrete the stencil of an aeroplane remains, just long enough for the satellite to photograph it. De Ruijter and Delpeut wondered whether these giant drawings of aeroplanes really belong on a map. Or is Google Earth not a map, but a unique image of the world? ✨✨

About the book: Inspired by legendary street photographers Hans van der Meer took off to Budapest in the fall of 1984 and stayed, with interruptions, for a year. 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. 💫💫

🌎🌍🌏
"On the one hand, we create systems of power that, in order to preserve power, exist to annihilate intruders. But by doing this, in the case of Adak, we also create structures and a way of life that erases natural resources. It’s kind of a no-win situation that raises existential questions about the nature of humankind.“ — Kenneth Dickerman for the Washington Post 🗞🗞 @huffphoto @kdickerman

The brilliant new book, Isivumelwano by Sabelo Mlangeni (Fw: Books, Amsterdam). /// Link to store in bio. /// South African photographer Sabelo Mlangeni’s documentary work reflects his conscious choice of themes, subcultures, and minority groups that usually remain invisible. The title of this collection of images, Isivumelwano, comes from Nguni, a Southern African language group. The word means 'contract', 'agreement', or 'alliance', and here it is synonymous with the marriage ceremonies in Black communities that Mlangeni has documented over nearly 30 years. The series is both a celebration and critique of the relationships we maintain with others. According to Mlangeni, the project magnifies 'the systems we exist in (and against)'. Love becomes a force of liberation. #perimeterbooks @fw.books
