Résumé:
Kanthy Peng’s debut artist book, ''Ground Sea'', weaves a visual narrative exploring depression, memory, and loss through 73 photographs. The title takes inspiration from an archaic West Indian term, which anthropologist and feminist Emily Martin used to capture her sensations when observing the Affective Disorder Clinical Rounds, “(Ground-sea is the name) for a swell of the ocean, which occurs in calm weather and without obvious cause, breaking on the shore in heavy roaring billows. A distant storm, out of sight, is often the cause of a ground-sea.” In ''Ground Se'', Peng re-orchestrates photographs spanning over a decade and multiple projects into a new diptych-structured work. The first part, ''Sunset Watchers'', unfolds through black-and-white portraits of three women reenacting a phantom folktale following the 1896 tsunami in Japan—images that also allude to the anxious premonition of those living with depression. Interspersed colored photographs recall Peng’s bodily memory of being bedridden due to illness. The second part, ''Kuafù Chases The Sun'', carries stills from two video works about Peng’s father, who retired from the People’s Liberation Army ten years after his daughter left home. In these images, his body is constantly propelled forward by the cogs of a system, breaking the stagnation of the first part, only to fall into nothingness ultimately.

Résumé:
''Walk Notations'' brings together traces emerging from ''Dissident Paths: Walking Together as a Method'', a series of artistic walks across Berlin in 2025. Moving between artistic practices, curatorial conversations, and reflections, the book approaches walking as a method for being together in public space. Some contributions revisit specific sites or gestures while others move further afield, driven by personal memory, archival research, theoretical analysis, or speculative fiction. Conceived as a portable companion, ''Walk Notations'' invites the readers to navigate the city otherwise—attentive to detours, thresholds, and the possibilities that emerge when paths are made collectively

Résumé:
Moving beyond the usual forms endemic to the graphic design canon, "Designing history" studies bureaucratic instruments such as money, passports, certificates, property deeds and more. Such documents produce identity, assign ownership and ascribe value. They stabilize claims, memory and knowledge that would otherwise be vulnerable to contestation or obliteration. Despite their apparent banality, such documents are perhaps graphic design’s most profoundly consequential forms. This book is the revised edition of "Immutable: Designing history" (2022). It includes an extended essay that contextualizes the project as one concerned primarily with prompting a remapping of graphic design’s historical and practical assumptions.

Rereading the original images in terms of individual and shared experience, memory, and aesthetics, he investigates their substance formats, materials, surface textures, colours, marks and traces, signatures of the authors in order to divulge the singular details that express the history they hold, and thereby reflect upon the sense of transformation on a global scale in the period when they came into being.

Résumé:
First published in French in 1983, 'The Cathedral of Mist' is a collection of stories from the last of the great Francophone Belgian fantasists: distilled tales of distant journeys, buried memories and impossible architecture. Described here are the emotionally disturbed architectural plan for a palace of emptiness; the experience of snowfall in a bed in the middle of a Finnish forest; the memory chambers that fuel the marvelous futility of the endeavor to write; the beautiful woodland church, built of warm air currents and fog, scattering in storms and taking renewed shape at dusk, that gives this book its title.

In June 2015 Alberto Manguel prepared to leave his centuries-old village home in France’s Loire Valley and reestablish himself in a one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Packing up his enormous, 35,000-volume personal library, choosing which books to keep, store, or cast out, Manguel found himself in deep reverie on the nature of relationships between books and readers, books and collectors, order and disorder, memory and reading. In this poignant and personal reevaluation of his life as a reader, the author illuminates the highly personal art of reading and affirms the vital role of public libraries.

Résumé:
This selection of 24 buildings offers a sample of the architectural panorama of Spain. It includes not only built works within Spain but also projects situated in other countries by Spanish architects. The issue is organised across several themes: Civic Gathering, Urban Sutures, Selective Memory, Educational Exercises, Functional Facades, and Efficient Housing. It considers how a year marked by economic recovery but also political tension, with corruption scandals and the crisis in Catalonia, has formed the backdrop for Spanish architecture. Notable projects include an exhibition hall in Leon by Dominique Perrault Architecture and a civic centre in Barcelona by Harquitectes.
