Salih Basheer - 22 Days in Between

Disko Bay 2022 ISBN 9788797352632 Acqn 33123
Hb 11x16cm 112pp col ills £34

Looking back to losing both his parents just 22 days apart when he was only three years old,
Salih Basheer presents poignant memories and images in this moving visual narrative of loss and
healing. He recalls the challenges of moving in with his grandmother, the separation from some of
his siblings, and the feeling of not belonging. The self-taught Sudanese photographer went on to
study photojournalism at the Danish School of Media and Journalism where he received the
Eugene Smith Student grant for the production of this photo book. He has had exhibitions in
Ethiopia, the Netherlands, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates.

The City Is Ours #3 - Superficial Damages

Other Editions 2022 ISBN 9789526878478 Acqn 33237
Pb 15x22cm 96pp col ills £23.50

The walls of the buildings, sidewalks, and streets in the city are in contact with a wide variety of
users, uses, and activities: people walking, parents running with strollers, bikes suddenly braking,
skateboarders practicing their tricks, scooters and cars being driven at full speed, and much
more. All of these activities inevitably leave behind traces on the material surfaces, such as
scratches, marks, and cracks. These traces of wear are often seen as something negative. But if
we look at them with a more open mind, what can scratches and other superficial forms of
damage found in the city tell us?

Alberto Vieceli - Hello, we are here

Everyedition 2022 ISBN 9783907384053 Acqn 33124
Hb 14x20cm 152pp col ills £35

Graphic designer Alberto Vieceli presents 110 postcards from the time before Google Maps
existed. While postcard collectors consider those with writing on the picture side as inferior, the
artist presents his personal collection of postcards featuring small interventions. Made with
crosses, arrows, circles, or comments, their purpose was to give the receiver more precise
information, such as the position of the hotel where the sender stayed or where they laid on the
beach, therefore making "the observer an accomplice." With an introduction by Max Kung, who
also contributed a postcard, every book also comes with an original postcard selected by the
artist.

Becoming Van Leo

Archive Books 2022 ISBN 9783948212803 Acqn 33125
Pb 24x30cm 628pp col ills £77

Becoming Van Leo is a study of the life and times of the late Armenian-Egyptian photographer.
Born in 1921, Leon Boyadjian would come to be known as Van Leo, one of the most singular
twentieth-century studio photographers in the Arab world. Van Leo left behind him a 60-year body
of portraiture and self-portraiture work, as well as professional and personal documents. Drawing
on this abundant archive from the collections of the AIF-its most iconic one-and the American
University in Cairo, in addition to accounts of people who knew him, the publication intricately
narrates the story of the photographer and the man, contemplates the complex practice of
commemoration, and reflects on the task of the archivist, the curator, the designer, and the author
at large.

Wildflowers - Photos by Hans Bruggeman and Lotus Michiko Bruggeman Thieme

Lotus Michiko Bruggeman Thieme 2023 ISBN 9789090366555 Acqn 33210
Hb 22x28cm 160pp col ills £63.50

For almost half a century, boxes filled with photographs by Hans Bruggeman had been waiting
patiently in the family home until the day his daughter, Lotus, would find them. Portraits of people
her father associated with in the 1960s and '70s in Amsterdam. Years when the Dutch capital
flourished as a progressive and artistic haven, when counterculture, experimentation, and the
spirit of the underground emerged to define the city's cultural life. It was the time of Provo, De
Kabouters, happenings, and the liberalisation of drugs and sexuality. 'Wildflowers' assembles
more than a hundred photos in a single volume, lovingly selected by Lotus and with a musical
playlist to match.

Gianluca Calise - Utopia Ending

The Velvet Cell 2022 ISBN 9781908889799 Acqn 33227
Pb 21x28cm 264pp col ills £53

Gianluca Calise specialises in long-term documentary photography projects. His research

focuses on social issues and themes related to identity, belonging, and memory. His book 'Utopia
Ending', with photographs taken in the period 2014-2019, looks at the urban transformation of
London since the 2012 Olympics. Through images and text, including three interviews and an
essay, he compares the city's current finance-driven development with post-war expansion based
on council houses. Investments in social housing have been almost entirely eradicated and now
the new buildings are more financial assets for global investors rather than actual homes for
Londoners.

Ewan Telford - Ecology of Dreams

The Velvet Cell 2022 ISBN 9781908889805 Acqn 33228
Hb 24x30cm 174pp col ills £49.50

The last outpost of the American West, Los Angeles might be described as the culmination of
cultural history in the United States. Ewan Telford's vision of the city is not that of "Tinseltown"
and Californian sun and surf, as it is commonly (mis)understood, but that of a 21st-century
megalopolis after 40 years of neoliberal capitalism. It is a city of corporate empires and militarised
police, gated communities and environmental catastrophe. But Los Angeles is also a city of
unfathomable mystery and strange beauty. 'The Ecology of Dreams' is a superbly photographed
and annotated subjective compendium of the city's collective unconscious, its memories, history,
and fictions.

Pb 17x24cm 148pp col ills £38

What does it mean when you have roots in different countries? What are the stories that are
known and what is there to find out? 'Debaltsevo, Where Are You?' is a personal story about the
fascinating and elusive search for your heritage. Photographer Karine Zenja Versluis (NL) started
her own quest in 2013 when she decided to explore her family history in the city of Debaltseve,
Donbas, Ukraine. The place where her grandmother was born. Along the way, for more than ten
years, everything went differently than expected. The quest became a red thread in the story.

Photographie
Archive Books 2023 ISBN 9783949973192 Acqn 33235
Pb 24x32cm 360pp col ills £38.50

The theme of this edition of the African Biennial of Photography focuses on multiplicity,
difference, becoming, and heritage, as expressed by Malian writer Amadou Hampate Ba (1901-
1991) in the words of the title. To collectively reflect on these multiplicities of being and difference,
to move beyond the notion of a single being and embrace composite, stratified, and fragmented
identities, as well as multiple, complex, and non-linear understandings of space and time. With
more than 70 contributing artists, curators, academics, activists, and people from all walks of life,
it offers a resilient and prescient assemblage of culture, thinking, and hope on the African
continent.

Since 2014, Takashi Homma has published a series of books as an homage to Edward Ruscha,

around the globe, which are, for the most part, all more or less the same everywhere. From
Iceland to Japan and from Hawaii or Los Angeles to the United Kingdom, everyone who relies on
gasoline to get around must visit these drab and uninteresting places.
