Summary:
''Entangled'' encapsulates a pivotal moment for Arsenault’s work, representing a shift in perspective and personal responsibility. "After years dedicated to creating glorified images of women," she says of her success in fashion photography, "I came to question my role and influence in the transmission of models of femininity." Albeit informed by a progressive, non-binary upbringing, this introspection is ultimately necessary now – in the context of motherhood as she raises three children including a young woman. Arsenault calls the work "a poem, an ode, a shout out," and one senses that the quiet power of the book lies in contradictions still unresolved even as the author gains in experience and independence. “I feel often trapped in the person I have been trying to be my entire life,” she says in a touching and revealing statement, one that perfectly echoes the finely calibrated tensions and the tentative triumphs evoked in these pages.

A follow up to her debut monograph ''Entangled'' (Deadbeat Club, 2020), ''Resurfacing'' furthers Maude Arsenault’s visual poetry with ongoing, honest exploration of the female experience.

A follow up to her debut monograph ''Entangled'' (Deadbeat Club, 2020), ''Resurfacing'' furthers Maude Arsenault’s visual poetry with ongoing, honest exploration of the female experience. Time passes; family life fractures and splinters with it. Surfaces crack under a varnish of quiet and soft tones, as folds and crevasses are mirrors of an inner, newly reappropriated body. ''Resurfacing'' is an essential extension of her work, translating the delicate and subdued power of her images into a tactile, textured design—giving amplitude and rhythm to Arsenault’s feminist visual language.

Vanessa Winship : Snow
$75.00
(available in store)
Summary:
In "Snow," Vanessa Winship’s latest monograph, we see that what’s not entirely comprehended is far more compelling than what is well understood. Perhaps that’s a truism, but it’s one that is rejuvenated and refreshed by each new and peculiar telling. This book is just such a revelation. The origins of "Snow" lie in a commission (this from an artist who very rarely works(...)

Summary:
In "Snow," Vanessa Winship’s latest monograph, we see that what’s not entirely comprehended is far more compelling than what is well understood. Perhaps that’s a truism, but it’s one that is rejuvenated and refreshed by each new and peculiar telling. This book is just such a revelation. The origins of "Snow" lie in a commission (this from an artist who very rarely works on assignment, although Winship says she often approaches things "as if I have somehow been sent by someone"), but the photographer’s interest in what she found soon eclipsed anything that could properly be thought of as a "story." So she made repeated trips to a particular landscape – and, notably, a particular season – in order to fathom what it was that had disconcerted her in the initial making of these photographs.

How do you move forward in life? "Standstill" collects radiant scenes from Oakland, California, meditating on the space in-between the big chapters in life. A follow up to Ward Long's first monograph Summer Sublet (2020), "Standstil"l offers familiar interiors and neighborhood sights vibrating with a golden state glow. Friends have children, warm light pools on a park fence, and fireworks explode over an empty parking lot. Time cycles onward, yet these few small moments are caught in a spell of suspended grace. The carefully constructed sequence offers a kind of sunny purgatory, anticipating what may come. What’s on the other side?

Sinuous shadows of a wintry tree branch merge with the vine of a light wood panel. A patchwork of sidewalk pavement in assorted hues of warm grey, form an unpredictable pattern. Traces of rain, seep into the city's surfaces, gently transforming tones of yellow, grey and brown. Throughout the pages of "Obscura," the newest publication of Yoko Ikeda, we rediscover the renowned Japanese photographer’s unrivalled talent for unearthing and sublimating the treasures of her everyday urban environment, offering in exquisite detail the richness of humble subjects. Through her lens, Ikeda sees the marvels that are hidden all around her. And with tight framing and precise intuition, they become precious fragments of color and texture responding to each other in a delicate play of correspondences.

Summary:
« Paysages sismiques » nous invite à pénétrer au coeur de la matière, et plus particulièrement dans le manteau terrestre, pour découvrir ce qui se passe lors d’un séisme : fusion, dilatation, fragmentation, explosion, sous l’effet de la chaleur les roches se métamorphosent et révèlent leurs mystères, invisibles à l’oeil nu. Ce projet est le fruit d’une collaboration entre le photographe Thomas Gizolme et le chercheur en géophysique Alexandre Schubnel, directeur du Laboratoire de géologie de l’École normale supérieure, à Paris. Au sein de ce laboratoire, les chercheurs ont créé deux machines : une qui reproduit les séismes afin de tenter de comprendre leurs mécanismes et d’anticiper leurs développements, et une seconde qui réalise des images de la matière en fusion. Ces dernières donnent à voir les roches qui se liquéfient et dessinent une géographie géologique fascinante. Thomas Gizolme s’est emparé de ce corpus photographique pour composer un ouvrage où le merveilleux se mêle au scientifique : le lecteur peut alors découvrir les paysages insoupçonnés situés à des centaines de kilomètres sous nos pieds.

Summary:
From Lithuania, Ukraine, and Georgia to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, photographer Ai Hoshino journeys throughout the former Soviet sphere of influence in northern Eurasia in her quest to document the bygone relics of a vast socialist state. This collection of photographs focuses on abandoned vehicles and other modes of transport that still remain in the former countries of the Soviet Union. These include cable cars, Ferris wheels, automobiles, railroads, airplanes, ships, tanks, trucks, and more. Although they will disappear into oblivion in the not too distant future, Hoshino captures these silent but eloquent inorganics in their final resting places.

Summary:
‘'Amidst the fire, I am not burnt’' is a documentary approach to the iconic landscape shaped by Vesuvius. It investigates the different temporalities, scientific and popular perceptions, historic and present-day photographic representations, and stories inscribed in this cyclical landscape. The book interweaves documentary writing and photography in a varied constellation of subjects and experiences, from derelict quarries, archaeological sites, and souvenirs, to a parking lot, bonfires, and lovers parked along the road at night. As each eruption of the volcano adds a layer on top of the last, Vesuvius continues to sense, store, destroy, shape, and transmit information.

Summary:
Soviet architectural design often evokes images of brutalism, Stalinist style, and austere, straight-lined concrete blocks. However, objects such as the thousands of derelict bus stops scattered throughout the former Eastern Bloc and Central Asia seem to have a different aesthetic that surpasses the scope of these preconceptions. Rather than being mass-produced, many of them were created by local architects, students, or artists, and still retain a quiet charm today. Whether distinctively shaped, decorated with beautiful mosaics, or painted in once-bright colours, these bus stops that time forgot are lovingly documented by photographer Ai Hoshino.
