Robert Adams (born 1937) describes his home modestly and affectionately: "A friend oncereferred mischievously to the house as our cottage. Built in 1941, it is now closely surrounded byother houses, though the front yard is shielded to one side and toward the street by green. Andfrom the back porch there is a view of the Columbia River." Over his 45-year career Adams hasbeen primarily known as an artist of the landscape, tracing humans relationship to nature in the

American West.Around the Housefeatures photographs of Adams more immediate environs:the quiet corners of his home, his darkroom and his garden, as well as the subtle drama in thesky just above his house in Astoria, Oregon. This book is his most personal to date, capturing thesmall details and spaces that define his daily routine.

Fiona Amundsen - The Imperial BodySplit/Fountain 2016 ISBN 9780473325756 Acqn 26033Pb 23x30cm 88pp 130ills 30col 28.95

Tokyos Yasukuni Shrine is a complex phenomenon within a local and international socioculturalpsyche. It presents an almost contradictory position around the role that memorial, memory,honour, and site have in relationship to the trauma and death embedded within layered militaryhistories and experiences of World War II. Fiona Amundsens visual arts project takes the shrineas its focus, presenting a series of present-day photographs with fragments of historical images

and documents representing worship and nationalism associated with WWII. In this way, shecritically explores the complexities of archives linking to traumatic and nationalist histories.

Jun Nakasuji - Overgrown RuinsAspect Corp. 2015 ISBN 9784757223820 Acqn 25478Pb 26x18cm 130pp 120ills 22.50

If abandoned and left alone, human settlements are inevitably taken back into natures fold.

Photographer and ruin explorer Nakasuji Jun confronts us with the eerily still and untouchedbuildings and interiors of a modern town now lost to the forest. Chairs and tables are covered inlush carpets of moss, trees spring from roofless houses and rusted vehicles, once lively industrylies quiet, and vines delicately drape facades and power lines with a mantle of green. The storiesthe town holds slowly slip away in natures embrace.

We Belong DeadEveryedition 2015 ISBN 9783952420621 Acqn 26183Pb 12x19cm 168pp 168ills 13.50

This small book describes itself as a story told in an endlessly looped movie trope. The classiccamera shot of the last words of a protagonist who dies in the arms of his or her counterpart hasgrown so familiar that it is now exchangeable. Page after page depicts this cinematic clich ofstorytelling in a compilation of such scenes collected from 88 movies, from Hollywoodblockbusters to classic Westerns and animated films. Designer Piero Glina arranges the imagesin such a way that no two characters on opposing pages match each single page contains onescene from one movie on its front and back, intertwining the trope and thus creating narrativesthat never happened.

Sebastien Van Malleghem PrisonsAndre Frere Editions 2015 ISBN 9791092265316 Acqn 25525Hb 21x26cm 208pp 120ills 37.95

Photographer Sbastien Van Malleghem spent eight months researching Belgiums prisonsystem in a self-financed investigative report that began in 2011. He eventually gained access toten different institutions, bringing into focus the ruined lives and misery of confinement, whetherfor criminal actions or psychological reasons. Rather than questioning the need to put away andmonitor these individuals, through his stark and confronting black-and-white images VanMalleghem intends to condemn the archaic and opaque system around those men and womenwho have been incarcerated behind walls that only erode their humanity, whether under thepretence of crime or insanity.

Jenny Kaellman - The Rectangle's Sharp StareArt And Theory Publishing 2016 ISBN 9789188031235 Acqn 25990Hb 19x25cm 110pp 41ills 33.75

As a starting point for this new body of work, Swedish photographer Jenny Kllman initiated anexploration of prison spaces from an immediately physical vantage point. The title of this series,Lounge, is an ironic take on the indefinite time and shared social environment of the prison as aninstitution, and a number of the images were made in a centre for young offenders. Working notonly in still photography, but also with sound, music, and the moving image, Kllman opens theseusually closed spaces up to a mode of representation that diverges from strictly documentary,applying abstraction as a way to describe the complexities inherent in confinement.

Andr Ltzens captivating photographs cast arespectful eye on the citys larger history to make suggestive and subtle links between image andcommentary, eschewing sentimentality in favour of raw emotion.

Exit 61- Photographer PaintersOlivares & Associates 2016 no ISBN Acqn 26194Pb 21x26cm 184pp 180ills 142col 26

Painters who choose to integrate photography in their work, merging photographic characteristicswith the essence of painting, are in a way practitioners of an entirely new dimension of visualexpression. They often use photography as a means to broaden their perspective, expandingupon the formal and conceptual aspects of their painted works. Although there are barely anydifferences between their paintings and photographs, each feeds on the other, allowing analternative method to view and catalogue the world. This issue offers encounters with those

worlds, through contributions from Robert Rauschenberg, Sol LeWitt, Sigmar Polke, KarenKilimnik, and more.

The art photography couple Maurice Scheltens and Liesbeth Abbenes have worked unwaveringlyfor nearly fifteen years carving out their identity as image makers. Whether commissioned bybrands or magazines, their oeuvre is persistently autonomous, wherein only the actualcharacteristics of the objects in front of their camera steer their creative process. For Epoi, a newgenuine leather bag brand made in Japan, Scheltens & Abbenes created a series of sixphotographic works using the leather parts of bags yet to be made. Printed on large-format, ultra-thick card and presented as individual plates, the images strongly follow in the tradition ofCalders mobiles.

Loek Van Vliet - Sacred Grounds. Quiet Areas In The Netherlands And FlandersSubmarine 2016 ISBN 9789082420609 Acqn 26186Hb 29x29cm 108pp 33ills 29col 35.50

For this photo series, photographer Loek van Vliet selected a specific type of landscape, quietareas. A relatively new phenomenon in this densely populated and highly industrialised region ofEurope, these demarcated outdoor spaces enjoy governmentally instituted noise restrictions,thereby allowing the natural sounds of flora and fauna to predominate. They signal a shift inattitude towards our surroundings, and affirm humanitys growing desire to temper, if not bring anend to the supremacy it has established over nature. Not only does Van Vliet succeed incapturing the solemn magnificence and beauty of the Low Countries, he also builds upon thisdesire to reconnect.
