Fortepan Masters. Collective Photography in the 20th Century

This monumental volume presents the full scope of an archival collection of vernacular photographs presented in an accessible online form. The seven-hundred-page publication edited by Szabolcs Barakonyi is a collection of the legacy of exceptional “masters” of photography…

I Am Warning You

In a triptych hidden inside a cardboard box bearing the inscription I Am Warning You, the author explores the theme of migration, including the barriers, fences and walls that are currently being built along borders across the world…

Pass It On. Private Stories, Public Histories

In her publication Pass It On, Daria Tuminas experiments with the permeation of the exhibition and photobook formats. She works with material from family albums as if they represented found footage, thus involving them in a constant creative process…

Flower Smuggler

Diana Tamane (born 1986), who is among the most striking artists of the young generation, has gathered renown well beyond her home region of the Baltics. Her book, which was nominated in the Best Debut category at Paris Photo, is an assemblage of the artist’s projects to date…

Mirrored

Photobooks are now a global phenomenon, as attested to by another new publication on the seemingly distant subject of Greenland. This three-hundred-page book contains black-and-white photographs made in this island colony by the Danish traveler John Møller (1867–1935)…

Heroes – Artist Edition

The publication Heroes by the photographer and documentary filmmaker Karoliina Paatos, born in Utsjoki/Finland in 1979, is conceived in a newspaper format and is considered one of the most exciting discoveries of these days…

Private Views: A High-rise Panorama of Manhattan

When Hynek Alt handed me this book on the street (both of us in respirators and clumsily trying to maintain social distance without impeding our friendly and confidential communication), I was surprised by its format and production…

Anonym 1968-1984

The genius of some undertakings rests in their simplicity.

Did You Know?

The results of a deadly gas leak from a chemical pesticide plant run by the American company Union Carbide in the central Indian city of Bhopal in 1984 led to the greatest catastrophe of its kind in history…

White Gaze

On the basis of the extremely well known yellow frame of National Geographic magazine, and through meticulous work with its archive, Michelle Dizon and Viêt Lê present a critical reflection of the perspective of white people on “the rest of the world”…

Peeing in Public: An inventory of the Wildest Urinators

“The question of when, where and how is certainly a preoccupation for all kinds of people,” as a back cover blurb for Austrian artist Thomas Geiger’s book fittingly put it. Within this small yellowish book, the urinary theme mediates a fascinating tour through the issue of contemporary urination in relation to various elements of bizarreness, art and minorities…

Myself, friends, lovers and others

Arnis Balcus takes us on a guided tour, sans commentary, through bedrooms, panel hous- es, genitals, bodily fluids, hair, expressions, snapshots, ex-girlfriends, strangers, moments that are somehow essential, and sometimes relationships of which we know nothing and learn nothing (which would probably prove unnecessary anyway)…

Digital █████ – An Ethnographic Dictionary

Digital – An Ethonographic Dictionary is the first Czech book on digital colonialism.

The First March of Gentlemen

Getting into Rafał Milach’s book is quite a tough nut to crack. The book is colorful from all sides, it’s wrapped around with string, you unpack it like a Christmas present and it feels like a children’s pop-up book…

Pillars of Home

Pillars of Home is a book of ninety-eight instant homemade sculptures, each of which took no longer than thirty minutes to create —the thirty minutes in which a child sleeps and one can rest or work or both at once, which is how this visual game was created…
