Summary:
The photographs in Geomancy were taken from October 2007 to November 2008, using an Olympus Stylus with color film. I had left New York for Beijing, where I lived on Xindong Lu, sometimes tutored English, and occasionally wrote a column called "Raw China" for Vice. The city embodied an almost too good to be true clichéd "otherness" with an overabundance of literally foreign colors, textures, shapes, and structures. Put another way, China, and Beijing in particular, is extremely photogenic. The title comes from a reference to the Forbidden City in the accompanying story "The First Bus of Beijing" about riding the No. 1 bus. It couldn’t be more appropriate, as Geomancy is a concept taken very seriously in China that means "the art of placing or arranging buildings or other sites auspiciously."

Summary:
Tamiko Nishimura (Born in Tokyo, 1948) graduated from Tokyo College of Photography (now Tokyo Visual Arts) in 1969. She emerged as part of the vibrant Japanese avant-garde scene in the early 1970s. Over the years, her work—largely based on her own journeys and experiences in Japan and abroad—conveys both a personal and beautifully theatrical perspective on the world. Nishimura photographs in an instinctive and spontaneous way. Her visual language is poetic, spiritual, and deeply personal. While her stylistic approach to image-making, in contrasted black and white, often blurred, or grainy, is close to some of the artists associated with Provoke, her work is imbued with an introspective and haunting quality that evokes a unique and profound emotional dimension. Throughout her long and ongoing career, Nishimura has photographed women with a distinct attentiveness. The closeup of a woman’s face, her hair brushed by the wind; a woman energetically walking down the street with her grocery basket, her head turned away from the camera; the back of two women walking down a street; a girl reading on a sofa with a magazine resting on her knees; or the intimate portraits of her childhood friend. These photographs depicting women in their everyday lives are filled with a knowing and empathetic quality that stands out in the history of Japanese photography.

''Under One Sun'' is a photobook that chronicles some of the hand-painted sign art on Miami’s local businesses. Made across more than six years, inadvertently the collection also documents the loss of local businesses and their distinct signage — some buildings razed altogether — often the fallout of Miami's real estate development churning inland. Along with that loss, so goes some of Miami’s unique history. Today, ''Under One Sun'' is a memory box for Miami’s locals, and a memento for its visitors.

Summary:
Beyond time, out of time, stuck in time. The places Isabelle Tortola chooses to capture in her photographs tell the story of a bucolic, warm, and often introspective Italy. From north to south, with stops in between, Tortola captures rural landscapes with natural ones – suburbs and hidden corners, towering trees and seas that turn amber under the daylight against the backdrop of deep blue. A suspended time that does not, however, escape a sharp undercurrent of tension. Anything could happen at any moment – and everything could change.

Summary:
"Un Fantastico Altrove" is a photography book and, at the same time, a visual diary – both intimate and political – that tells the story of a queer relationship shaped by time, distance, returns and transformations. Through a flow of images and words, the bond between Silvia Clo Di Gregorio and Samuele Galli takes shape: a story that is both biography and utopia. Their emotional archive moves between personal experience and collective imagination, mapping a geography made of closeness, care and desire. Here, queer love becomes a celebration of the possibility to inhabit the world otherwise – together, beyond normative frameworks, yet deeply rooted in everyday life as both a political gesture and euphoric feeling.

"The fold" is a critical visual and psychological investigation into the enduring legacy of Orientalist and colonialist photographic practices, and the ways in which these gazes continue to shape how bodies—particularly veiled Islamic bodies—are seen, archived, and consumed.

Summary:
"The fold" is a critical visual and psychological investigation into the enduring legacy of Orientalist and colonialist photographic practices, and the ways in which these gazes continue to shape how bodies—particularly veiled Islamic bodies—are seen, archived, and consumed. This new body of work by Iranian artist Hoda Afshar takes as its starting point the vast archive of Gaëtan Gatian de Clérambault (1872–1934), a French psychiatrist and photographer who, in the early 20th century, produced thousands of images of veiled women—and sometimes men—in Morocco. Encountered by Afshar during her research at the musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac in Paris, these photographs were originally used by de Clérambault to support psychoanalytic theories around fantasy, covering, and desire, all filtered through a deeply colonial lens.

Summary:
This project began with the opportunity to photograph Monte da Lapa, one of Álvaro Siza’s last projects in Porto. Its dual simplicity and complexity opened the creative doors to a universe where light, matter, and space dialogue with almost poetic precision. Using black and white was not only an aesthetic choice for photographer Pedro Cardigo but also a tribute to the timelessness of Siza’s work. It emphasises the purity of the forms, the contrast between light and shadow, and the texture of the materials. Featuring photographs of numerous works by Siza, this is both a celebration of the architect’s creative genius and an invitation to the viewer to see them through Cardigo’s eyes.

Summary:
"Altre Tempeste" is a visual journey through the contemporary landscapes of the Veneto, seen through the lens of Olivo Barbieri. Drawing inspiration from Giorgione’s "The Tempest," the artist brings Renaissance memory into dialogue with the transformations of Italy’s Northeast, where historical architecture, industrial warehouses, and shifting natural environments coexist. From Carlo Scarpa’s Brion Tomb to Canova’s Gypsotheca, Barbieri moves between sweeping views and intimate details, using color and light as critical tools of inquiry. Photography becomes a laboratory where art, architecture, and science converge, revealing new ways of seeing and understanding place. Featuring thirty-two previously unpublished works and insightful critical texts, the volume presents a landscape suspended between history, industry, and imagination.
