Jeanne Lucas – Politique
Rue Du Bouquet 2025 ISBN 9791097416300 Acqn 37042
Pb 19x25cm 114pp col ills £48.50
The history of the representation of prostitutes by artists is largely a history of appropriation. For
most sex workers, the choice to transform themselves into objects of desire does not mean
renouncing being active subjects, people with agency in the human relationship with the
observer-client. Still, objectifying oneself in the eyes of another does risk reinforcing stereotypes.
Can this ever be truly avoided? With 'Politique', Jeanne Lucas gives a voice to sex workers,
people who are too often invisible or simply fantasised about. Refusing appropriation, Lucas
collaborates with these individuals to create liberated, political portraits that challenge perceptions
and assert their right to exist.

Daido Moriyama – Flowers
Akio Nagasawa 2024 no ISBN Acqn 36491
Pb 30x22cm 70pp ills £89.50
"While taking snapshots on the streets, I sometimes find myself drawn to flowers and click the
shutter button," muses Daido Moriyama. "This book is a collection of my ongoing commitment for
those photos." Bound in a screen-printed canvas cover, 'Flowers' focuses on a constant but
lesser-known theme in the photographer's career. From cherry blossoms overflowing into rivers
or cut tulips slowly dying in a tumbler of water, to almost obscene close-ups of blossoming
orchids and lilies, private toilets adorned with flower arrangements, and snapshots of florists'
shop windows, this book showcases his fascination with flowers. Limited to 350 copies, each
signed by the artist.

Tehching Hsieh - One Year Performance 1978-1979
Void 2025 ISBN 9786185479411 Acqn 37067
Hb 17x24cm 736pp col ills £70
On 30 September 1978, Tehching Hsieh began the first in a series of extraordinary One Year
Performances that would make him a regular name in the New York art scene. He sealed himself
in a purpose-built cage in his studio and remained there in solitary confinement without any
communication for 365 days. His friend, Cheng Wei Kuong, helped facilitate the work by taking
care of his food, clothing and refuse, and by taking the daily portraits that make up this book. This
work, nicknamed 'Cage Piece', was unprecedented in its use of physical difficulty over extreme
durations. As well as being in solitary confinement, Hsieh's self-imposed list of rules forbade him
from reading, writing, listening to the radio or watching television. Attorney Robert Projansky
provided a witness statement at the end of the year attesting that Hsieh had remained in the
locked cage for the full duration. Daily portraits taken by Cheng Wei Kuong provide further
evidence of his presence in front of the camera each day. Hsieh shaved his head at the start of
the performance and allowed his hair to grow out naturally, so the daily portraits also reveal the
passing of time.

Agnes Pori - An Emergent City
Temporary Press 2025 ISBN 9789819406234 Acqn 37046
Pb Pb 17x12cm 600pp ills £40
Emergent City explores the eerie familiarity of AI-generated images. These black and white
scenes resemble real urban spaces yet feel subtly wrong-echoes of places that could exist but
don't. Through machine learning, Isidro Rodriguez crafted hyperreal "non-places" that unsettle
our sense of space and memory. This body of work examines how AI reflects human imagination,
biases, and our deep reliance on patterns. Blurring the line between real and virtual, it taps into
Marc Auge's notion of hyperreality. The images complicate photography's relationship to truth,
inviting viewers into an uncanny world where the familiar becomes strange and the artificial feels
disturbingly human.

Beatriz Banha - Midday Moon
Skinnerboox 2025 ISBN 9788894895797 Acqn 37050
Pb 17x24cm 84pp col ills £27
This series by Portuguese photographer Beatriz Banha is about a light that does not come from
the sun, a light that influences the gaze and reveals new possibilities in the idea of reality. It is her
attempt to bring to the surface an infra-sensitive, a dimension that is not directly palpable. As if
the things illuminated by this light acquired a dreamlike characteristic that disconnected them
from the real world. At the same time, there is a constant sense of displacement, distance, and
intimacy with the world in its own orbit. Her photographs show bold colours, stark contrasts, and
deep shadows. Her subjects are animals, forgotten urban scenes, fruits, oddities, and more.

Jacopo Papucci - The Attachment Theory
Skinnerboox 2025 ISBN 9788894895803 Acqn 37051
Pb 24x33cm 88pp col ills £32
'The Attachment Theory' is a visual and intimate journey through pain, memory, and identity.
Beginning with a traumatic event - the suicide of a friend - Jacopo Papucci embarks on a quiet
search, guided by questions that resist easy answers. Through encounters with objects, people,
and animals, fragments of family archives, and introspective landscapes, the Italian photographer
explores how childhood experiences can settle over time and reshape the narrative of who we
become. At first glance, the black-and-white images in this series seem disconnected and distant,
yet on closer inspection the depths of Papucci's emotional landscape is revealed.

Paul John – DBL
Building Fictions 2025 ISBN 9789083375649 Acqn 37068
Pb 24x32cm 80pp col ills £29.25
DBL (Double) presents a selection of photographic works by PJ (Paul John) in the form of eight
folded posters. Through his pictures, PJ records fragments of the city - bits of architecture,
shifting lights, fleeting events - without predetermined narrative or structure. Shot during walks,
his photographs emerge from an intuitive and improvisational process. Over time, film rolls are
revisited and re-exposed, resulting in liminal, tactile, timeless traces of his many derives through
town. DBL offers a reflection on movement, memory, and perception while exploring the beauty
that can be found in an intentional partial loss of control.

Gili Merin - Analogous Jerusalem
Humboldt Books 2025 ISBN 9791280336316 Acqn 37069
Pb 24x24cm 188pp col ills £39.50
Jerusalem is not merely a city; it is an idea. For millennia, it has drawn visitors of all faiths and
social classes, each seeking to engage with its sanctity. This enduring allure has sparked
repeated cycles of violent struggle for control, often prompting the symbolic relocation of
Jerusalem to places far beyond its physical borders. Analogous Jerusalem is the result of a five-
year photographic journey exploring these 'analogous' shrines across diverse landscapes. It
traces a continuous topography of pilgrimage, where the sacred and the profane intersect in
unexpected ways. A three-part essay accompanies the images, examining the transposition of
Jerusalem's holy sites to Europe, the virtual pilgrimage rituals practised by medieval nuns, and
the history of photographic journeys. Together, the photographs and texts form a travelogue
through places that may, paradoxically, feel more 'real' than Jerusalem itself.
