Lennart Durehed – Vicinity Art And Theory Publishing 2015 ISBN 9789188031181 Acqn 25670Hb 23x29cm 96pp 62col ills £33.50

Time and place have a central significance in Swedish photographer Lennart Durehed’s work,manifested in titles that usually refer to specific cities or neighbourhoods. Often utilisingreflections to great effect, surroundings become mirrored by glossy facades of glass and metal.This creates visual layers and, like a montage, ambivalent and angular spatialities arise. Twoseries are included in this book, ‘Vicinity’ and ‘Ceilings’, in which buildings are seldom depicted intheir entirety; rather, as details and segments of the urban realm that emphasise the image as animage, drawing out the graphic interplay between surface and depth through their sharpcomposition.

Dafy Hagai – SunsetPerimeter Editions 2015 ISBN 9780994388315 Acqn 25571Pb 21x28cm 40pp 31col ills £22.50

Young Israeli photographer Dafy Hagai has made a name for her playful, sexually curious imagesof young women amidst a uniquely Middle Eastern geographic, cultural and architecturalparadigm. Her first book 'Israeli Girls' engendered a new perspective on the queer gaze,bouncing between visual cadences skirting fashion and editorial photography and a refreshinglywide-eyed sense of candidness. Her new publication, 'Sunset', prefaces a more experimental line

of approach. Shot in and around Israeli beach resort towns, 'Sunset' sidles architecture,abstraction and fragmented figurative gestures amongst an idyllic and faux-idyllic tableaux oflandscapes and beach scenes – the tension between reality and artifice ever-present.

Michael Wolf - Hong Kong Assemblage DeconstructedPeperoni Books 2015 ISBN 9783941825895 Acqn 25919Hb 16x21cm 80pp 58col ills £27

The small back alleys of Hong Kong are utilised by its residents in various ways, often serving asplaces of respite within the relentless rhythm of this densely packed metropolis. For some time,Michael Wolf has been exploring this rich, ever-changing vernacular world, focusing in particularon the interplay between the myriad different objects found there. In a celebration of theaccidental artistry of everyday life, he deconstructed one of these object assemblages,photographing each of its composite parts – coat hangers, plastic ribbon, umbrellas, metal clips,etc. – in his studio. Wolf gives these utilitarian objects a significance symbolic of the individualoccupying the city.

Hideyuki Ishibashi held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2013. Entitled ‘Présage’, it focused onthe dilemma produced by today’s plethora of digital images and its impact, most noticeably in theshortened attention we give individual images. Ishibashi used photographs found at antiquemarkets, random postcards, shots from Google Street View, and anonymous online images,carefully disassociating them from previous meanings and combining them to create new imagesas a platform for the act of viewing itself. Part collage, part conceptual sketch, fullyphantasmagorical, the photobook with its many foldout pages offers a wealth of visual stimulationand hidden meaning.

Peter Truschner - Bangkok StrugglePeperoni Books 2015 ISBN 9783941825888 Acqn 25918Hb 22x29cm 128pp 75col ills £35.50

Bangkok. This name is loaded. Sex tourism, night markets, construction and high-tech boom. Notof any interest for Peter Truschner. When he was in Bangkok in 2011 and 2013 for severalmonths, he stayed in the neighbourhoods where traders, craftsmen and workers live, peoplewhose lives are dominated by hard, strenuous work without any prospect of prosperity. Work, eat,drink, sleep - often without a solid roof over the head - an endless cycle. Truschner does notshoot explicit pictures of the misery, but simply the everyday life of these people whose trust hehas won. A daily life, that millions of people share, not only in Bangkok.

Charlotte Lybeer - Epidermis II Art Paper Editions 2016 ISBN 9789490800406 Acqn 25982Pb 22x30cm 72pp 37col ills £22.50

The tension between the real world and the parallel world is intensified in these portraits ofmorphsuits. The design and theatricality of public space extends into the private realm. Self-design is a statement in the virtual arena that is the Internet. How do I present myself to theother’s gaze? Which lifestyle do I use to construe an imaginary identity? In their Zentai suits thesemorphers succeed in escaping from the obligatory, omnipresent perception, the pressure of beingseen, all the time, everywhere. They are encapsulated and unrecognisable in a completelyenclosed form, vanishing into a trans-human identity that suddenly infiltrates reality in the placewhere Lybeer portrays them.

Hennric Jokeit - Negative VisionPeperoni Books 2016 ISBN 9783941825918 Acqn 26063Hb 21x30cm 80pp 48ills £32

“We can think about the negative without being able to see it.” Thus begins photographer HennricJokeit’s series of negative images, which challenges our eyes and brain to focus, taking time toadapt and virtually decipher what we are seeing. Confronted with negative depictions of urbanand natural landscapes, interior scenes, and buildings and objects, the viewer is asked toconcentrate on the singularity of each image, to translate dark into light and vice versa. As such,it allows us to focus more clearly on aspects like composition and formal arrangement within the

frame of the image, levels of comprehension that are often overlooked. With an essay by PhilipUrsprung.

Anne Greene & Arjan De Nooy – OrnithologyDe Hef 2016 ISBN 9789069060491 Acqn 26112Pb 17x24cm 336pp 400ills 300col £26.50

Anne Geene and Arjan de Nooy combine visual tools from the science of birds with the specificcharacteristics of photography, thereby imparting a fresh look at both. Through theirpseudoscientific approach, Geene and De Nooy explore the boundaries between the twodisciplines, adding a layer that is usually absent in the representation and science of birds:humour. Their classifications form comical results through creative and associative thinking, andyet they use the scientific method to also create an artistic microcosm that seems far removedfrom its strictly ornithological counterpart. Together, Geene and De Nooy depart from the “classic”aesthetic of bird representation.
