A NEW KIND OF BEAUTY<br />
Phillip Toledano<br />
This is a book of portraits of people who have re-created themselves<br />
through plastic surgery.<br />
Phillip Toledano believes that we are at the vanguard of a period of<br />
human-induced evolution. A turning point in history where we are<br />
beginning to define not only our own concept of beauty, but of<br />
physicality itself.<br />
Beauty has always been a currency, and now that we finally have<br />
the technological means to mint our own, what choices do we<br />
make?<br />
Is beauty informed by contemporary culture? By history? Or is it<br />
defined by the surgeon’s hand?<br />
When we re-make ourselves, are we revealing our true character,<br />
or are we stripping away our very identity?<br />
Phillip Toledano was born in 1968, in London, to a French Moroccan<br />
mother and an American father. His work is primarily sociopolitical,<br />
and varies in medium, from photography to installation.<br />
His installation project, ‘America, the gift shop’, was shown at the<br />
Center for Photography at Woodstock. The premise: If George<br />
Bush’s foreign policy had a souvenir shop, what would it sell?<br />
Toledano has published three previous books: Bankrupt – Photographs<br />
of recently vacated offices, (Twin Palms, 2005), Phonesex<br />
(Twin Palms, 2008), and Days With My Father (Chronicle, <strong>2010</strong>).<br />
His work has appeared in Vanity Fair, The New York Times<br />
Magazine, The New Yorker, Harpers, Esquire, GQ, Wallpaper,<br />
The Times, The Independent, Le Monde, and Interview magazine,<br />
amongst others.

HALF LIFE<br />
Michael Ackerman<br />
introduced by Denis Kambouchner<br />
According to Denis Kambouchner’s introduction, Michael<br />
Ackerman’s latest book Half Life is a haunted book. It is certainly<br />
disturbing; in Michael Ackerman’s world, something is always<br />
disintegrating. A feeling of isolation pervades; a space weighed<br />
down by history overwhelms everything.<br />
The landscapes are harsh and unwelcoming, combining frozen<br />
expanses, blackened houses, abandoned cemeteries and vestiges<br />
of the mining industry. But it is the anguish of individuals that stirs<br />
us most deeply – their expressions of distress and confusion, their<br />
unfinished gestures, the sense of damage. These are people who<br />
appear to live in the ruins of a drama. It is as if their whole bodies<br />
were given over to a scream. What all these people, these bodies<br />
and these images, have in common is the pure situation, that<br />
something is wrong – out of joint.<br />
Everything in the book is in the form of a response. Ackerman<br />
carefully constructs a whole system of recalls and echoes, reinforcing<br />
a primordial desolation, set against the backdrop of an entirely<br />
fragmented and disordered world. It is an extraordinary and unsettling<br />
vision.<br />
Born in Tel Aviv, Michael Ackerman moved to New York in 1984.<br />
After studying he began to photograph in the city’s streets, nightclubs<br />
and on its waterfronts. Between 1993 and 1997 he made<br />
several trips to Benares, India. The photographs were published as<br />
End Time City by Robert Delpire, the legendary Paris based publisher.<br />
A member of Agence/Gallerie Vu, Ackerman has exhibited<br />
internationally and has won several international awards including<br />
the Prix Nadar, the SCAM Roger Pic Prize and the International<br />
Centre of Photography Infinity Award. His work is in many major<br />
collections and in <strong>2010</strong> it was included in Traverse, the book and<br />
exhibition of the collection of Marin Karmitz which was shown at<br />
Rencontres d’Arles.<br />

IN THE FACE OF SILENCE<br />
Christophe Agou<br />
story by John Berger<br />
In the Face of Silence is a powerful and moving portrait of the hard<br />
lives of French farmers living and working in the Forez region of<br />
France. Born and brought up in the area, Christophe Agou travelled<br />
to the less-known parts of the region, where he felt inspired by the<br />
silence and moved by the people he encountered. Over time, and<br />
through the gradual process of building trust and friendship, the<br />
farmers and their families accepted him and allowed him to both<br />
photograph and film their daily existence. The challenge was to go<br />
beyond just documenting their labour-intensive lives and present<br />
a deeper, more intimate portrait.<br />
Christophe Agou is noted for his personal documentary-style. His<br />
intimate images both haunt and intrigue – and create an intensely<br />
rich, layered, visual language.<br />
Agou came to prominence with his compelling body of work made<br />
in the New York subway, published as Life Below in 2004. He was a<br />
finalist for the prestigious Eugene Smith Award (2006), for Le Prix<br />
de la Photographie de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts de Paris (2008)<br />
and received a ‘Mention Spéciale’ for le Prix Kodak de la Critique<br />
Photographique (2009). His photographs have been widely published<br />
and exhibited including shows at MOMA, New York; Jeu<br />
de Paume, Paris; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Les Rencontres<br />
d’Arles, France; and Noorderlicht Fotofestival, The Netherlands.<br />
John Berger, art critic, novelist, painter and author was the 1972<br />
winner of the Booker Prize with his novel G. His book on art criticism<br />
Ways of Seeing is recognised as one of the seminal texts on<br />
the subject.

FALLEN EMPIRES<br />
Shai Kremer<br />
texts by Shai Kremer, Meron Benvenisti, Anne Wilkes<br />
Tucker, Talya Sasson, Amiram Oren, Ariella Azoulay<br />
Israel’s history can be understood through its vast archaeological<br />
heritage. Its past exists not only in the written word but also in its<br />
land, in the architecture and ruins, in the stones themselves. Each<br />
civilization overwrites another, layer upon layer – a sophisticated<br />
palimpsest.<br />
A single frame can expose the sediment of thousands of years.<br />
The recycling of spaces, from one empire to the next, shows how<br />
each sought to conquer and rule the land, all with a similar outcome:<br />
eventual failure. Kremer shows the vestiges of this complex<br />
multicultural saga, testimonies unearthed from the past that show<br />
a different perspective. It is landscape as a place of amnesia and<br />
erasure, for Israel is a strategic site where the past has been<br />
buried and history veiled by natural beauty.<br />
Kremer’s Israel exists beyond the media headlines and tourist<br />
hotspots: it is landscape as cultural force, an instrument in the<br />
construction of national and social identity. For Kremer, it is a<br />
provocation to critical debate about a country where different<br />
perspectives existed, and continue to exist, and where new<br />
possibilities can be reflected upon.<br />
Born in 1974 and raised in Israel, Shai Kremer currently lives in<br />
Tel Aviv and New York. He has exhibited widely internationally:<br />
Tate Modern, London; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York;<br />
SF MoMA, San Francisco; Chicago Museum of Contemporary<br />
Photography; Tel Aviv Museum of Art; The Israel Museum,<br />
Jerusalem; the Red Cross Red Crescent Museum, Geneva;<br />

Francisco; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Israel Museum,<br />

GUANTANAMO: If the light goes out<br />
Edmund Clark<br />
texts by Julian Stallabrass and Omar Deghayes<br />
‘When you are suspended by a rope you can recover, but every time I see a<br />
rope I remember. If the light goes out unexpectedly in a room, I am back in<br />
my cell.’ – Binyam Mohamed, Prisoner #1458<br />
For over eight years the American naval base at Guantanamo Bay on Cuba<br />
has been home to hundreds of men, all Muslim, all detained in the aftermath<br />
of the 9/11 attacks on suspicion of varying degrees of complicity or<br />
intent to carry out acts of terror against American interests. Labelled ‘the<br />
worst of the worst’, most of these men were guilty of nothing more than<br />
being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many fell prey to a US military<br />
policy of paying bounty money for anyone the Pakistani secret service, border<br />
guards or village leaders on both sides of the blurred Afghan-Pakistan<br />
border considered a possible or potential ‘suspect’, thereby becoming<br />
currency in the newly defined ‘War on Terror’. Held in legal limbo for years<br />
and repeatedly interrogated, almost all have been released without charge<br />
and only a very few have been tried in the special military commissions<br />
set up for the purpose.<br />
Guantanamo: If the light goes out illustrates three experiences of home: at<br />
Guantanamo naval base, home to the American community; in the camp<br />
complex where the detainees have been held; and in the homes where<br />
former detainees, never charged with any crime, find themselves trying<br />
to rebuild lives. These notions of home are brought together in an<br />
unsettling narrative, which evokes the process of disorientation central to<br />
the Guantanamo interrogation and incarceration techniques. It also explores<br />
the legacy of disturbance such experiences have left in the minds<br />
and memories of these men.<br />
Edmund Clark is known for his powerful, thoughtful and beautiful images<br />
exploring control and incarceration. His work is in several collections<br />
including The National Portrait Gallery, London, and the Museum of Fine<br />
Arts, Houston.<br />

TRANSIT<br />
Espen Rasmussen<br />
How do you survive at subsistence level?<br />
How does it feel to leave the safety of home and not be able to return?<br />
What is life like for a child who is forced to flee from his home?<br />
What is it like to live in constant fear for your life and of losing<br />
those close to you?<br />
For seven years, photographer Espen Rasmussen has travelled<br />
the world to document refugees and displaced people. TRANSIT<br />
tells the stories of some of the 43.2 million people on the run in<br />
the world today. From the makeshift camps in DR Congo to the<br />
slums of Colombia, the book presents stories of everyday life and<br />
the challenges displaced people and refugees meet every day,<br />
no matter in which country or on which continent they find<br />
themselves.<br />
Espen Rasmussen is picture editor at Norway’s largest newspaper<br />
VG. He constantly works on documentary projects, and has focussed<br />
particularly on social issues and climate change. For the<br />
last seven years he has worked on the long term project TRANSIT.<br />
Rasmussen has worked with NGOs, such as Médecins Sans Frontières,<br />
the Norwegian Refugee Council and the UNHCR, as well as<br />
on stories for VG. He has won many awards for his work, including<br />
two at World Press Photo, seven at Pictures of the Year International<br />
and twenty six in the Norwegian Picture of the Year. In 2008,<br />
Photo District News (USA) named him one of the most promising<br />
young photographers in the world. His work has been exhibited<br />
widely, both in Norway and internationally.<br />

April 2011 is the 50th anniversary of man’s first flight into space.<br />
DIRECTION-SPACE!<br />
Maria Gruzdeva<br />
essay by Matthew Shaul<br />
Fifty years ago, on April 12th 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first man in<br />
space. His orbit of the Earth made him a celebrity worldwide. His name is<br />
still synonymous with the Space Race and with Russian space exploration.<br />
Half a century after the legendary flight, Direction–Space! looks at two of<br />
the sites that were key to the Soviet Space programme: Star City and<br />
Baikonur.<br />
Cosmonauts have lived and trained in Star City since the 1960s. In the<br />
Soviet era, it was a top secret location. Now also known as The Yuri<br />
Gagarin Russian State Science Research Cosmonauts Training Centre it is<br />
still a military research centre and consists of a training facility and a residential<br />
area for the cosmonauts and their families as well as the military<br />
and civilian personnel serving the facility.<br />
Baikonur, situated in Kazakhstan, was the world’s first space launch facility<br />
and it is still the largest. Nowadays, the site is leased from Kazakhstan and<br />
administered by Russia.<br />
Direction–Space! is a fascinating study of Star City and Baikonur. Incorporating<br />
unique archive materials, it explores the reality of the space<br />
community at first hand, investigating the physical and psychological<br />
space as well the routine and lives of its residents. It offers a new insight<br />
into a subject central to the Cold War history of the Soviet Union, and<br />
raises questions over attitudes and perceptions that have been formed<br />
over past decades.<br />
Russian-born photographer Maria Gruzdeva is now based in London.<br />
She is able to offer a unique perspective on her country of origin, its post-<br />
Soviet history and aesthetics. She held her first major solo exhibition in<br />
Moscow in <strong>2010</strong> and has shown her work in several group exhibitions as<br />
well as at art fairs such as VOLTA6 in Basel and Art Moscow.

THE BROTHERS<br />
Elin Høyland<br />
introduction Gerry Badger<br />
When Elin Høyland heard about two elderly brothers, Harald and Mathias<br />
Ramen, living together in Tessanden, a small hamlet in rural Norway, she<br />
approached them to see if they would collaborate with her on a photographic<br />
project about their lives. The result is a fascinating and warmly<br />
human study of a way of life that has now almost entirely disappeared.<br />
Harald (75) and Mathias (80) had always lived on the smallholding in<br />
which they were born. Neither had married. Mathias once worked in Oslo<br />
for two months, but hadn’t like it, whilst Harald spent one night, ‘the worst<br />
of his life,’ he would say, in a hotel in Lillehammer, some three hours away.<br />
They’d worked for an electricity company, as loggers and also as carpenters,<br />
but now much of their time was taken up just managing firewood for<br />
their home. As Harald said, they chopped wood, carried wood and burned<br />
wood. At least twice a day, they also fed wild birds in the twenty bird<br />
boxes that they monitored. Their days followed a predictable and comforting<br />
routine. In their free time they listened to the radio or read the local<br />
paper. In the 1960s they rented a TV for a one month trial but returned it<br />
after deciding that it took up too much time. Little changed from year to<br />
year, though Mathias once said that changes were happening the whole<br />
time and it would probably end up with them getting an inside toilet with<br />
running water. Harald died from an asthma attack while shovelling snow in<br />
conditions of –20ºc. Mathias continued to live alone in the house until he<br />
moved into an old people’s home. He died in 2007.<br />
Norwegian photographer, Elin Høyland has freelanced for several major<br />
newspapers including The Guardian. She is currently photographer with<br />
the Norwegian Business Daily and her work has been exhibited in both<br />
Scandinavia and the UK.<br />
Gerry Badger is recognised world-wide as one of the leading writers on<br />
photography. Amongst his many projects he wrote the TV series The<br />
Genius of Photography and was co-author with Martin Parr of the two<br />
volume The Photobook: A History.<br />

Under Gods is a project developed during Liz Hingley’s residency<br />
at Fabrica, Benetton’s research centre on communication.<br />
UNDER GODS<br />
stories from the Soho Road<br />
Liz Hingley<br />
texts by Elizabeth Edwards & Christopher Pinney<br />
Liz Hingley, the daughter of two Anglican priests, grew up in Birmingham,<br />
one of the UK’s most culturally diverse cities, where over<br />
90 different nationalities now live. It is hardly surprising therefore<br />
that she developed an interest in multi-faith communities and<br />
began to explore the complex issues involved, ranging from immigration,<br />
through to secularism and religious revival.<br />
Between 2007-2009, Hingley focused on the three-mile stretch of<br />
Soho Road in Birmingham, one of the most varied and fascinating<br />
corners of the country. It is a junction of diverse faith, where Muslim,<br />
Hindu, Buddhist and Jain, Rastafarian, Christian and Sikh<br />
meet. “Faith is exhibited in all the shops, shown off as symbols on<br />
hats and t-shirts, branded in tattoos,” says Hingley. “It is religion<br />
rather than race that now defines the local communities.”<br />
With more than twenty different religions represented in a single<br />
road, various buildings are used for religious purposes from<br />
churches in a school gym hall, to makeshift baptism tents in the<br />
local park. And with so many communities co-existing in such<br />
close proximity, the boundaries between faiths can, as Hingley has<br />
observed, become exaggerated. “It was as if these religions were<br />
challenging each other,” Hingley said “challenging each other to<br />
show themselves off the most.”<br />
Under Gods is a powerful celebration of the rich diversity of these<br />
religions and of the reality and intensity of their different lifestyles.<br />
London based, Liz Hingley has won numerous awards including<br />
the Canon AFJ and Figaro Magazine Award <strong>2010</strong>, and the Taylor<br />
Wessing National Portrait Award, 2009. Her work was highly<br />
commended in the <strong>2010</strong> and 2007 Ian Parry Award and she was<br />
a finalist for the Eugene Smith Grant <strong>2010</strong>. She has exhibited in<br />
solo and group shows in the UK, France, Budapest and New York.

THIS IS NOT A HOUSE<br />
Edgar Martins<br />
texts by Sacha Craddock & Peter D.Osborne<br />
The subprime mortgage crisis, which had its roots in the closing years of<br />
the 20th century, became apparent in 2007. The crisis exposed pervasive<br />
weaknesses, as well as deep-rooted inequalities, within financial industry<br />
regulation and the global financial system.<br />
In the winter of 2008, Edgar Martins produced a series of photographs<br />
related to the collapse of the US housing market. He photographed abandoned<br />
homes, golf courses, ski resorts, hotels and other building projects<br />
in sixteen locations across six separate American states. His interest lay in<br />
catalysing and reuniting fresh experiences of a new form of architecture by<br />
summoning a disquieting conjunction of realism and fiction. And fiction, as<br />
the writer Jacques Ranciére states is elementary to understanding the real.<br />
This Is Not A House formed part of an assignment for the New York Times<br />
Magazine. The work became the focus of a heated debate due to Martins’<br />
decision to employ digital processes on a select few images. The series<br />
has been described as ‘arguably one of the most poignant pieces of work<br />
produced by a photographic artist in recent years, not only because of the<br />
relevance of it’s theme, but because of the way it propels us to re-evaluate<br />
our understanding of photography and its fragile and difficult relationship<br />
with the real’. It proposes new models for re-conceiving and conceptualising<br />
a particularly contemporary phenomenon and landscape. It also<br />
remains a poignant reminder of the financial ruin and bankruptcy that<br />
struck the lives of many thousands of ordinary people.<br />
WHEN LIGHT CASTS NO SHADOW<br />
Edgar Martins<br />
texts by Gerry Badger & Sacha Craddock<br />
Edgar Martins was granted special airside access to some of the most<br />
interesting airports in Europe. The airports he chose have had a key role<br />
in history or the history of aviation. Almost all his images were produced<br />
at night, using the aprons’ floodlights, moonlight or long exposures of<br />
between ten minutes to two hours.<br />
Some images are incredibly abstract, with a very long depth of field and<br />
often with the use of minimal lighting. In others, sky and ground merge<br />
in darkness with only the lights and airport hieroglyphics to orient us. Yet<br />
even these are hard to decode, for whilst this is a landscape of signs that<br />
can be read by the knowledgeable – pilots and air traffic controllers, for<br />
instance – it remains perplexing to the uninitiated. This juxtaposition of<br />
sign and shape is at the heart of these remarkable images.<br />
Internationally recognised, Edgar Martins has exhibited widely and has<br />
received many awards including the prestigious BES Photo Prize (Portugal),<br />
a New York Photography Award (Fine Art Category), the Terry O’Neil<br />
Award and a SONY World Photography Award.<br />

LONDON STREET PHOTOGRAPHY<br />
1860-<strong>2010</strong><br />
Street photography thrives in London today. It documents the<br />
movement, diversity and seeming incoherence of the most multicultural<br />
city in the world. Its defining characteristic is the keen eye<br />
of the photographer catching the moment of a chance encounter,<br />
a fleeting expression or a momentary juxtaposition in a decisive<br />
click.<br />
However, photographing life on London’s streets is nothing new.<br />
The first ‘instantaneous’ London street scenes were taken in the<br />
early 1860s, and by the 1890s candid street photographers were<br />
snapping Londoners unawares. The 20th century saw many<br />
photographers, famous and lesser-known, continue to capture<br />
the daily life of London.<br />
London Street Photography showcases the Museum of London’s<br />
unique historic collection of photographs. It contains the work<br />
of more than seventy photographers and is a fascinating view of<br />
London street life of the last 150 years. It includes the work of<br />
well-known photographers such as Paul Martin, John Thomson,<br />
Humphrey Spender, Bert Hardy, László Moholy-Nagy, Roger<br />
Mayne and Tony Ray-Jones as well as the work of many anonymous<br />
photographers whose contribution has been just as important<br />
in recording the story of the city.<br />
The book includes an introduction by Mike Seaborne, Senior<br />
Curator of Photographs at the Museum, in which he outlines the<br />
history of street photography in the capital, exploring the shifts in<br />
approach as well as the impact of new cameras that allowed photographers<br />
to capture the wealth of detail to be found in London’s<br />
teeming streets.<br />

CHINA BETWEEN<br />
Polly Braden<br />
texts by David Campany & Jennifer Higgie<br />
China Between is a photographic exploration of the modern city culture of<br />
contemporary China. When the Peoples’ Republic set up its Special<br />
Economic Zones in the 1980s communist China entered into global trade<br />
and international capital. The goal was financial but new money also<br />
brought new values and new ways of life. Polly Braden’s photography is an<br />
intimate response to the material and psychological effects of the changes<br />
experienced by the country’s new urban class. Shot over three years in<br />
Shanghai, Xiamen, Shenzhen and Kunming, China Between is a revelatory<br />
portrait. No longer will images of epic scenes dominate our view of this<br />
country. Braden shows how a casual glance, a moment of doubt or a quick<br />
trip to the shopping mall can tell us as much about modern China as any<br />
image of a dam, a protest or a teeming workforce.<br />
… anthropological documents and a personal travelogue; a series of intimate<br />
portraits and, more generally, studies of a country undergoing a massive<br />
transition from a predominantly agrarian to an urban culture.<br />
Jennifer Higgie, editor of Frieze magazine<br />
Polly Braden has exhibited at venues internationally including the Institute<br />
of Contemporary Arts, London, and the Museum of Contemporary<br />
Photography, Chicago. Her photography has appeared in The Guardian,<br />
The Telegraph Magazine, Ei8ht, Portfolio, ICON, Photoworks, Frieze, The<br />
Sydney Morning Herald and D Magazine (Italy).<br />
The book is accompanied by texts by David Campany, Reader in Photography<br />
at the University of Westminster, London, and by Jennifer Higgie,<br />
editor of Frieze magazine.<br />

around Hanoi, Vietnam<br />
Tessa Bunney<br />
Home Work looks at Vietnam’s ‘craft’ villages. These specialise in a single<br />
product or activity, anything from palm leaf hats to incense sticks, or from<br />
noodle-making to snake-catching. Some date back hundreds of years,<br />
whilst others are a more recent response to enable rural farmers to earn<br />
much needed income.<br />
Tessa Bunney spent two six month periods in Vietnam and visited many<br />
of these villages. The traditional village house is typically single storey and<br />
consists of three rooms. The large central room is a multi-purpose living,<br />
sleeping and working area and it is in this room where many of Bunney’s<br />
images are taken, the mix of work and everyday objects fascinating her<br />
visually. Interspersed with images from daily life in the rice fields and<br />
in the villages, these photographs depict ‘working from home’ in an<br />
unromanticised sense, where their subjects, mostly women, balance<br />
childcare with the routine work necessary for survival.<br />
75% of Vietnam’s population live in rural areas but as the country moves<br />
towards urbanisation, its agricultural labour force faces losing its land to<br />
urban projects – and its way of life. The country’s growing population is<br />
reducing the availability of farming land, and rural families, no longer<br />
able to sustain themselves from the land, are turning to the creation of<br />
various products. These ‘craft’ villages have become the meeting place<br />
between rural and urban, agriculture and industry. During the last decade,<br />
along with rapid national economic development, many craft villages<br />
have increased production up to five fold through small-scale industrial<br />
development. However, the consequence is increased waste and environmental<br />
pollution with the resources of the landscape becoming overused.<br />

LAOS: LEGACY OF A SECRET<br />
Sean Sutton<br />
Introduced by Tim Page.<br />
Between 1964 and 1973, during the war with the United States, the North<br />
Vietnamese used a network of supply lines, known as the Ho Chi Minh<br />
Trail, running from North Vietnam through the jungles and mountains of<br />
neighbouring Laos and Cambodia. In an effort to staunch the flow of<br />
troops and weapons the U.S. dropped more than 2 million tons of bombs<br />
on Laos. Kept secret from Congress and the American people, full details<br />
of the scale of the bombing sorties only became declassified in the 1990s.<br />
By the time the aerial campaign ended in 1973 more bombs had been<br />
dropped on Laos, since renamed Lao People’s Democratic Republic<br />
(LPDR), than the Allies dropped on Germany and Japan combined during<br />
World War II. Many failed to explode, leaving the landscape littered with<br />
hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, of unexploded bombs, as<br />
lethal today as when they fell from the sky over three decades ago.<br />
Dubbed ‘bombies’ by Laotian villagers, these often brightly coloured cluster<br />
bomb submunitions are still found in the clefts of bamboo branches, by<br />
children playing in shallow dirt, or in the fields where farmers till the soil<br />
by striking the earth with a hoe. Since 1974 more than 20,000 people,<br />
many of them children, have been killed or injured by bombs or other<br />
unexploded ordnance. Today, the lives of about 300 Laotian people are<br />
still devastated each year by the deadly remnants of this war.<br />
For the past nine years photographer Sean Sutton has travelled with<br />
MAG’s projects (Mines Advisory Group), from Kosovo to Sri Lanka and<br />
Iraq, Lebanon and Sudan, documenting the humanitarian impact of armed<br />
violence, landmines, unexploded ordnance and other deadly remnants of<br />
conflict as well as the solutions that MAG provides.<br />
MISSING LIVES<br />
Nick Danziger<br />
text by Rory MacLean<br />
Missing Lives brings together fifteen, heartbreaking stories from the<br />
Balkans – stories that tell of the immense tragedy that took place between<br />
1991 and 2001 during the Yugoslav Wars when tens of thousands of Europeans<br />
vanished. Desperate for news, families of the missing prayed for a<br />
message, begged for the truth and often fell prey to blackmail. In almost<br />
every case, those missing had been murdered. But without any word, witness<br />
or body, the bereaved could not accept their loss. Their torment was<br />
to last years – for many it still continues. Children waited for parents to return<br />
from the grave. Mothers made up their dead son’s beds. Old men<br />
couldn’t bury their descendants. The living also ‘lost’ their lives.<br />
For the first time in war DNA has been used to match blood and bone, reuniting<br />
families divided by death, enabling survivors to find closure and to<br />
begin to live again. Since 1991 the International Committee of the Red<br />
Cross in the Balkans has been asked by families to trace 34,384 missing<br />
men and women. The remains of half of them – most of whom were murdered<br />
over a decade ago – have now been found. Missing Lives gives a<br />
voice to the unacknowledged suffering of these families, to all who went<br />
missing ‘by force’, and reminds us that in war there is no greater loss than<br />
the disappearance of those we love.<br />
Nick Danziger has published several books including Danziger’s Britain<br />
(1996), a social and political commentary on the state of Britain, described<br />
by The Independent as ‘so important that every one of us should read it<br />
and weep’. Rory MacLean’s six books, including UK best-sellers Stalin’s<br />
Nose and Under the Dragon, have challenged and invigorated travel writing.<br />
He has twice been shortlisted for the Thomas Cook Travel Book Prize<br />
and nominated for the International Impac Dublin Literary Award.

FASCISMO ABBANDONATO<br />
Dan Dubowitz<br />
texts by Patrick Duerden & Penny <strong>Lewis</strong><br />
During the period of Mussolini’s Fascist regime (1923–43) ‘colonia’<br />
– holiday centres for children – were established on the northern<br />
Italian coasts. Run by paramilitary youth organisations, they<br />
brought together modernist architecture, fresh air and discipline<br />
with the intention of converting the body and soul of Italian youth<br />
to fascist principles.<br />
The colonia were far removed from both the towns of Italy’s past<br />
and from the traditional structures of family and community. They<br />
offered a dramatic daily programme of activity with marching,<br />
synchronised exercise and gymnastics, flag-raising, saluting and<br />
swearing allegiance to the regime. It was a programme that in turn<br />
inspired architectural features in the buildings – including towers,<br />
ramps and elevated platforms – all designed to dramatise the parades<br />
and presentations by the young people. Even in the context<br />
of massive public works programmes, the building of the colonia<br />
offered unprecedented opportunities for progressive architects.<br />
They became a distinctive type of fascist building that evolved<br />
under the directives of the youth organisations. Despite the<br />
spectacle of the buildings, official policy declared luxuries as antieducational<br />
and anti-social. Accordingly only the most basic of<br />
accommodation was provided. Dormitories were intimidating,<br />
open plan and stark; each might accommodate several hundred<br />
children. Italian parents routinely admonished recalcitrant children<br />
with the threat ‘ti mando in colonia!’ (Behave, or I'll send you to<br />
the colonia!). For a generation of Italians the experience of fascism<br />
was a formative one, from which some never recovered.<br />

WASTELANDS<br />
Dan Dubowitz<br />
The nature of any society and its future can be read in its entrails –<br />
in what is left behind, what is discarded. Each creates, uses and<br />
casts aside its wastelands in very different ways and it seems that<br />
a proportion of every city is always wasteland. These neglected or<br />
abandoned places are fragile and ephemeral, a transient aspect of<br />
a changing, living city, yet development appears unable to clear<br />
them away for good, only to move them on to a different site. This<br />
book explores some of these wastelands that collectively form a<br />
sustained and permanent feature of the modern city.<br />
Sites featured include the following:<br />
Beelitz, Germany – an entire settlement built for victims of TB.<br />
Vockerode, Germany – a giant pre-war power station in the East<br />
German industrial heartlands.<br />
Cardross, Scotland – St Peter’s Seminary now widely recognised<br />
as Scotland’s modernist masterpiece.<br />
Orford Ness, England – a decommissioned nuclear research facility<br />
and military complex.<br />
Gorton, England – a monastery and church designed by AW Pugin;<br />
the largest parish church of its time in the UK. In 1989 the Franciscan<br />
monks held their last mass.<br />
Ellis Island, USA – the hospital wing; during the Second World War<br />
it was used as a prisoner of war camp.<br />
San Gimignano, Italy – former convent and prison, now put to<br />
various uses by the local community.<br />
Santa Teresa, Cuba – colonial church and convent. Once a closed<br />
wall community and now a dense microcosm of a city within the<br />
larger city.<br />
An architect by training, artist and photographer Dan Dubowitz is<br />
also an established specialist public arts consultant and has<br />
worked on projects both in the UK and abroad. His photography<br />
has been exhibited in the UK, Italy, Canada and the United States.

AN ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK<br />
Jason Bell<br />
introduced by Zoë Heller, interviews by Guy Harrington<br />
In 2008 Jason Bell undertook an assignment for American Vogue<br />
at ‘Tea & Sympathy’, an English tea room in the heart of Manhattan.<br />
In conversation with the owner, Nicky Perry, he was astonished<br />
to discover that over 120,000 British men and women lived<br />
in New York City. As an Englishman, himself living in New York,<br />
Jason was inspired to investigate further. An Englishman in New<br />
York is the result.<br />
The book documents a wide cross-section of English people living<br />
in the city. Their jobs are massively varied: taxi driver, cop, construction<br />
worker, diver, helicopter pilot, chef, burlesque dancer,<br />
drug dealer, UN ambassador and even dog walker. Jason was also<br />
struck by the significant influence that many Brits exercise on<br />
New York’s cultural agenda, which led him to include: writer, Zoë<br />
Heller; director, Stephen Daldry; artists, Cecily Brown and Bill<br />
Jacklin; Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Thomas P<br />
Campbell; historian, Simon Schama; actor, Kate Winslet; and the<br />
musician, Sting.<br />
The book offers an extraordinary insight into the British sub-culture<br />
which forms an intrinsic part of everyday life in New York City. As<br />
Bell says, ’I went for a walk in Central Park with Sting, for a cup of<br />
tea on Kate Winslet’s roof terrace, sat on Zoë Heller’s stoop and<br />
watched Stephen Daldry cycle down 8th Avenue. I was given a<br />
private tour of both the Metropolitan Museum and Barneys’ shop<br />
windows. And amidst all the questions about why people had come<br />
here and what they had left behind, I learnt a little bit more about<br />
what it means to be English, what it means to be a New Yorker, and<br />
where the two intersect.’<br />
Jason Bell’s work regularly appears in the world's leading publications<br />
including Vanity Fair and Vogue (US & UK) and he has shot<br />
film posters for Billy Elliot, About a Boy, Bridget Jones, Love Actually<br />
and Golden Compass amongst others.<br />

BABYLON<br />
Surreal Babies<br />
from the collection of James Birch<br />
with an introduction by George Melly<br />
These weird and wonderful postcards show babies as never seen before.<br />
Babies hatch from eggs, bubble from cauldrons, are fished from rivers,<br />
emerge in the cabbage patch, sit atop clouds, and ride in zeppelins. They<br />
play instruments, drive automobiles, fly in balloons, harvest the fields – an<br />
anarchistic world of baby heaven.<br />
James Birch first came across the postcards when he was a student in<br />
Aix-en-Provence. “A froth of smiling babies boiling away in a cauldron”<br />
caught his eye and he bought a small number of cards. He didn’t really pay<br />
much attention to the cards again until years later in the 1980s when he<br />
visited the Pompidou Centre for an exhibition on Surrealism. There in one<br />
of the display cases was a collection of fantasy baby postcards shown for<br />
their inspirational importance to both the Dadaists and the Surrealists.<br />
Despite the immensely varied subject matter of the postcards little is<br />
known of their history. They were produced from around 1900-1920 and<br />
were found from Russia, to Spain to Great Britain and most countries in<br />
between, however the majority appear to be from Germany.<br />
The postcards were a source of inspiration to many artists in the 1920s<br />
and 1930s, in particular to both the Dadaists and the Surrealists. They<br />
were collected by Paul Éluard, André Breton, Salvador Dali, Hannah Höch,<br />
Herbert Bayer, and Man Ray. The popular images excited inspiration in<br />
these artists because of their boundless inventiveness.<br />
A foreword is written by George Melly who was an acknowledged expert<br />
in the field of surrealism. Best known as a jazz and blues singer, writer and<br />
broadcaster, he was also an art critic and a devotee of the Surrealists. This<br />
is one of the last pieces he wrote before his death in 2007 at the age of 80.

A LANDSCAPE OF WALES<br />
James Morris<br />
A Landscape of Wales takes an expansive look at the contemporary Welsh<br />
landscape. James Morris challenges the tourist clichés and looks at the<br />
impact of human presence and the layers of history in the landscape. He<br />
reflects upon issues of identity, exploitation and regeneration; it is a land of<br />
beauty and of hardship where – in this post industrial, post rural economy<br />
– Tesco and tourism are now the great employers.<br />
These are the contrasting realities of the Welsh landscape – that seen by<br />
the many visitors and that experienced by most inhabitants. Morris moves<br />
between tourist hot spots and the terraces and back streets where the<br />
majority of people live. The latter are often hard-bitten unpretty places. No<br />
longer the world’s largest producer of iron, coal, copper or slate, they have<br />
lost their historic reason and heroic status, sometimes even their raison<br />
d’être. By contrast the tourist landscape is one of pleasure seeking and<br />
escape – this is the Wales that visitors are sold and want to see. But in a<br />
small country, this selling of culture for the tourist pound has difficult<br />
consequences that build on the complexities of history that have shaped<br />
so much of this landscape.<br />
James Morris is an acclaimed photographer of landscape and the built<br />
environment. His work is in many private and public collections including<br />
The British Council; Museum of African Art, New York; Princeton University;<br />
Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the National Library of Wales.<br />
Brought up in Manchester, Jim Perrin is an award-winning writer of Welsh<br />
descent. His books include River Map (Gomer, 2001), The Villain: the life of<br />
Don Whillans (Hutchinson, 2005) and Travels with the Flea (In Pinn, 2003).<br />
The Climbing Essays won the Mountaineering Literature Award at the 2006<br />
Banff Mountain Festival.<br />
CORRIDOR OF UNCERTAINTY<br />
Paul Hill<br />
Corridor of Uncertainty is a metaphorical meditation on loss and pain,<br />
despair and hope, beauty and banality, and seeming to be in a foreign<br />
country without a map, where reactions range from pity to incredulity.<br />
The work was made following the death of his wife, Angela, in 2006 and<br />
although a very personal journey, it has resonances for a wide audience.<br />
It is the first major monograph that Paul has published since White Peak,<br />
Dark Peak in 1990.<br />
Widely acknowledged as one of the most influential UK photographers and<br />
teachers of photography of the last forty years, Paul Hill began his career<br />
as a freelancer for regional and national newspapers. In the early 1970s<br />
he began working in photographic education at Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham,<br />
where he became head of the ground-breaking Trent / Derby Creative<br />
Photography course – the forerunner of every art photography degree now<br />
available. In 1976, he and his late wife, Angela, established The Photographer’s<br />
Place, the first residential photography workshop in the UK, and a<br />
centre which influenced a generation of British photographers.<br />
Paul Hill has exhibited extensively. His work is in many permanent collections<br />
including The National Media Museum, the V&A, the British Council<br />
and the Arts Council; and, overseas, in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston;<br />
Cleveland Museum of Art; the Japanese Photography Foundation; the<br />
Australian National Gallery; Moderna Museet, Stockholm, and the Bibliothèque<br />
Nationale, Paris. Birmingham City Archives acquired his archive in<br />
2004 to add to its national collection of photography.<br />
Paul Hill has published several books: Dialogue with Photography, co-written<br />
with Thomas Joshua Cooper, Approaching Photography and White<br />
Peak, Dark Peak. He has also received numerous awards including a<br />
Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society, a Hasselblad Foundation<br />
Fellowship, and an M.B.E..<br />

FORTUNATE STEPS<br />
Havana: In the Calzada del Diez de Octubre<br />
photographs & text by John Comino-James<br />
Authentic and fresh… the streets remain the preserve of those who live<br />
there … and when photographing the people he is among them, not sneaking<br />
a snap from across the street. – AG Photography Magazine reviewing<br />
‘A Few Streets’, John Comino-James’s first book about Havana.<br />
In his second book of photographs made in Havana, John Comino-James<br />
has again set out to explore a part of the city not normally visited by<br />
tourists. The geographical scope of the photographs is restricted to a<br />
single road, the Calzada del Diez de Octubre. The route itself predates the<br />
foundation of the Parish of Jesús del Monte in the 17th century and was<br />
formerly known as the Calzada de Jesús del Monte. In 1918 the road was<br />
renamed in commemoration of one of the most important events in<br />
Cuban history – the declaration of the first full-scale war of independence<br />
against Spanish colonial rule on 10th October 1868.<br />
Although its once important function as the principal route to the south<br />
has been superseded, the Calzada still remains a busy urban thoroughfare.<br />
Through engaged portraits and candid observation and with an eye for<br />
both architectural detail and the imposing façades that stand as testimony<br />
to the changing architectural styles of well over a century, John Comino-<br />
James creates an intimate and sympathetic record of the Calzada del Diez<br />
de Octubre which, through its long history, occupies an important place in<br />
the imagination and memory of Habaneros today.<br />
John Comino-James has published four previous books of photographs.<br />
THE GRAND TRUNK ROAD<br />
from Delhi to the Khyber Pass<br />
photographs & text: Tim Smith<br />
oral histories: Irna Qureshi<br />
The Grand Trunk Road is the oldest, longest, and most famous highway in<br />
southern Asia. Through oral testimonies, photographs and texts this book<br />
explores its history, and shows why it was so crucial to the process of<br />
migration to Britain and how the close links between Britain and places<br />
along the road continue to this day.<br />
For millennia the Grand Trunk Road has been used by invaders to conquer<br />
the subcontinent. After the British arrived in the 17th century it became the<br />
main artery for their conquest and rule of the northern areas of British<br />
India. Known locally as the ‘GT Road’ it was also used by its residents to<br />
begin journeys that ended all over the world, and since the days of the<br />
British Raj large numbers of them have settled in Britain.<br />
Between Delhi and the Khyber Pass, the GT Road travels through the<br />
homelands of over 90% of British Pakistanis and the vast majority of British<br />
Sikhs and Hindus from the Indian Punjab. Using stories gathered by Irna<br />
Qureshi and photographs taken by Tim Smith this book tells the story of<br />
the profound impact of the British on the GT Road and its people, and how<br />
they in turn have irrevocably altered the fabric of modern day Britain.<br />
Irna Qureshi is an anthropologist and oral historian specialising in British<br />
Asian and Muslim arts and heritage.<br />
Tim Smith is a freelance photojournalist who combines editorial and commercial<br />
work with long term exhibition and publishing projects.

EAST TO EAST<br />
Klavdij Sluban<br />
Introduced by Erri De Luca<br />
East to East describes a journey, bringing together photographs made by<br />
Sluban during extensive travels, frequently following the route of the<br />
Trans-Siberian Railway.<br />
Sluban’s use of deep blacks and backlit silhouettes embues his work with<br />
a highly individual photographic style. These powerful images are remarkably<br />
moody and atmospheric and permeated with a strange melancholy<br />
and an overwhelming sense of isolation. This is deeply memorable work.<br />
Klavdij Sluban is an established and well-respected photographer. Born<br />
in Slovenia he moved to France at a young age and is now based in Paris.<br />
His photographs have been exhibited widely including the Museum of<br />
Photography, Helsinki; Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo;<br />
Museum of Modern Art, Canton, China; Maison Européenne de la Photographie,<br />
Paris; and Centre Pompidou/Beauborg, Paris. He has published<br />
several books and is included in the well-known Photo Poche series which<br />
features the world’s leading photographers. He was winner of the Leica<br />
Medal of Excellence in 2004 and the Prix Niépce in 2000.<br />
Erri De Luca is one of Italy’s leading writers and the winner of several<br />
literary awards in both Italy and France.<br />

AFTER THE WALL<br />
Traces of the Soviet Empire<br />
Eric Lusito<br />
Introduction by Francis Conte, Professor of Russian & Soviet<br />
Culture, University of Paris-Sorbonne<br />
The Berlin Wall was the physical embodiment of the ‘Iron Curtain’ that<br />
divided the Soviet world from the West. Once it fell the Soviet Empire itself<br />
also began to crumble. At its heart was a military system which extended<br />
throughout its territories exerting huge control and influence. There were<br />
miltary bases in every country.<br />
Eric Lusito travelled throughout the former Soviet Union from East<br />
Germany to Mongolia, from Poland to Kazakhstan in search of these former<br />
Soviet military bases and his photographs are an extraordinary record.<br />
The military departed but much else was just left behind. Lusito discovered<br />
everything from gas masks to propaganda posters, books and magazines,<br />
instruction manuals and personal photographs.<br />
But it is the buildings themselves which are the most resonant symbols of<br />
the <strong>fall</strong> of a once powerful Empire. A lecture hall is laid out with chairs, and<br />
theatre spotlights are still mounted on the walls, yet the ceiling has begun<br />
to collapse; a swimming pool is full of water but this is stagnant water unchanged<br />
for years. And throughout there remain symbols of the old regime<br />
– murals of heroic deeds and national glories, photographs of political and<br />
miltary leaders, posters exhorting young soldiers to give their all for their<br />
motherland.<br />
The book includes photographs not only of the military bases but also<br />
of the murals, posters, books, instruction manuals etc. that Lusito found<br />
abandoned. It is a rich collection of work and illuminates the miltary world<br />
of the Soviet Union in a way that is both fascinating and unique.<br />

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY<br />
Vee Speers<br />
This is a series of portraits of children about to attend an imaginary<br />
birthday party. Inspired by her daughter’s birthday party Speers imagined<br />
what characters might be created if role play were pushed to imaginative<br />
extremes. The children are placed in front of the same white wall and<br />
gaze into the lens of the camera, performing within a strictly laid out<br />
frame. They reveal very little of themselves and yet this is what makes the<br />
portraits so magnetic. The childlike game of dressing up, of putting on<br />
costumes, reinforces the surreal tone of the series.<br />
The Birthday Party is ‘anarchistic’ in its take on childhood and play, ‘both<br />
improvisatory and highly theatrical... unsentimental but playful, macabre... in<br />
a way which is liberating both for us as viewer and perhaps for her subjects<br />
too.’ Clare Grafik, The Photographers Gallery, London<br />
‘My intention was to show a real side of human nature, to expose a side of<br />
childhood that is not carefree or clichéd, and project a range of emotions<br />
and definitions which are part of an imperfect world.’ Vee Speers<br />
For the past fifteen years Vee Speers has been based in Paris, working in<br />
fashion, photojournalism and fine art photography. Her work has been<br />
widely exhibited throughout Europe, the United States, Brazil, Mexico,<br />
Japan and Australia.<br />
The Birthday Party featured in the inaugural exhibition that opened<br />
Sweden’s new gallery of photography, Fotografiska, in Stockholm in<br />
May <strong>2010</strong>.<br />
ZEBRATO<br />
Michael Levin<br />
foreword by Barry Dumka<br />
Michael Levin’s photographs have gained international attention. The<br />
American fine art magazine Focus declared that “Michael Levin’s captivating<br />
images are soulful and evocative; he is truly one of the rising stars in the<br />
world of photography.”<br />
Using long exposures, Levin pulls his world taut, so that what remains in<br />
the landscape feels essential and revealed. There is a deceptive simplicity<br />
in his images as if these places need only to be found to be realised.<br />
Places that are simple and totemic. It is Levin’s pure sensibility which<br />
arranges this view, which finds these small moments and gives them<br />
weight and value and timelessness. He is particularly adept at capturing<br />
the smooth skin of light, the way it rolls over a place in the course of<br />
minutes rendering his subjects with their own private beauty. Levin<br />
illuminates these common places with new intent, making images which<br />
are both transfixing and transformative.<br />
Michael Levin has won numerous prestigious awards.<br />

ALLOTMENTS<br />
Andrew Buurman<br />
There’s something about the word ‘allotments’ that conjures up an image<br />
of traditional values, of balmy summer days spent working the land, escaping<br />
in honest toil. A rural idylll far removed from our everyday experience.<br />
And even though allotments can be found throughout the world, in our<br />
minds they still seem to encapsulate a certain Britishness.<br />
Andrew Buurman’s photographs capture the essence of the allotment and<br />
convey the enthusiasm and diversity of today’s plotholders. These photographs<br />
were all taken on Uplands Allotments, in Handsworth, in the heart<br />
of Birmingham. The largest allotment site in the UK – with 422 plots – it<br />
opened in 1949, with its own office and meeting hall. Even today it retains<br />
much of the communal spirit of the postwar era with weekly tea dances,<br />
bingo nights and an annual flower and vegetable show.<br />
The history of allotments tracks the major social and political changes in<br />
British life: the move away from open field agriculture, the urbanisation of<br />
the Industrial Revolution, the need for home grown produce during both<br />
World Wars. By 1943 there were some 1.4 million allotments in the UK<br />
growing 10% of the nation’s food. Inevitably both increasing affluence and<br />
the redevelopment of many sites led to a dramatic decrease in numbers,<br />
though in recent years there has been a resurgence of interest. There are<br />
now some 300,000 allotments in the UK often shared between families<br />
and friends.<br />
Andrew Buurman is a World Press Photo award winner and his work has<br />
been exhibited in the UK and USA.<br />
SILVER FOOTPRINT<br />
Robin Bell<br />
As digital photography has become increasingly dominant, the more<br />
traditional film-based black and white photography and the chemically<br />
produced photographic print have become uniquely repositioned in art,<br />
craft and culture. The art of photographic printing is now recognised as a<br />
serious craft, a rare skill that is much admired and respected.<br />
For Robin Bell this recognition as a craftsman of extraordinary ability has<br />
been earned over a career that stretches back some 35 years. He has<br />
worked with the biggest names in international photography including Bill<br />
Brandt, Eve Arnold, Don McCullin, Lee Miller, Ernst Haas, Terence Donovan,<br />
John Swannell, Ian Berry, Patrick Lichfield, Kevin Cummins, Tom<br />
Stoddart, Linda McCartney, Terry O’Neill, Norman Parkinson and Snowdon.<br />
Bell’s position as Britain’s leading black and white photographic printer is<br />
unassailable.<br />
This book brings together 126 photographs by these and other leading<br />
photographers whose work Bell has printed over the years. In his<br />
introduction David Litchfield, a central figure in photographic London in<br />
the 1980s and editor of Ritz newspaper and Image magazine, contextualises<br />
Bell’s career. Robin Bell himself provides the captions, describing<br />
both some of his favourite images and the most memorable photographs<br />
that he has printed over the years.<br />
Robin Bell’s printing and processing techniques are still as much sought<br />
after as ever by a wide range of photographers and their estates. His<br />
expertise and his collaborative approach make him a popular choice for<br />
many photographers and this retrospective survey of his work portrays<br />
both his passion for images and for the silver gelatin print.<br />

BINGO & SOCIAL CLUB<br />
photographs Michael Hess, texts Maxine Gallagher<br />
Around 1pm, every day of the week, nearly 600 bingo halls across the UK<br />
open their doors to thousands of loyal customers. But, although they can<br />
be found on almost every British high street, surprisingly few people ever<br />
see what goes on inside.<br />
In Bingo & Social Club, photographer Michael Hess opens up this world<br />
to a new audience. Behind the often-crumbling exteriors, he finds vibrant<br />
places full of strong characters, quirky details and more than a hint of<br />
nostalgia. In his own words: “I want people to feel that they’ve spent a night<br />
at the bingo – to sense what it feels like to be there.”<br />
Michael Hess and Maxine Gallagher spent many nights in the clubs, playing<br />
bingo, chatting with the managers and customers, and collecting<br />
stories from the people they met. They wanted to find out who these<br />
people really were. “Bingo halls are not just about gambling; they’re about<br />
human beings. They really do act as social hubs for many communities.”<br />
Jack, the manager of a bingo club in Newcastle, forms the backbone of<br />
the book.“He’s quite a character – tough and yet extremely dignified – and I<br />
knew straight away he could add the extra dimension I was looking for.”<br />
OFF PISTE<br />
an alpine story<br />
Lois Hechenblaikner<br />
texts by Thomas Weski & Wolfgang Ullrich<br />
Off Piste is a very funny and powerful satire. It looks at the enormous<br />
changes to Austria’s alpine region, the Tyrol, over recent decades.<br />
It juxtaposes images from two very different worlds – the old, ‘traditional’<br />
rural Austria and the increasingly consumer-driven culture of today. Once<br />
there was a strong dependence on the natural world – the landscape, work<br />
and everyday lives were intertwined. The black and white photographs,<br />
taken by agricultural engineer Armin Kniely, that depict this ‘lost’ world<br />
have a particular charm. Today though, as Lois Hechenblaikner’s colour<br />
photographs vividly show, it is a much changed environment where the<br />
excesses of our consumerist world are clear to see.<br />
Wonderful ironies abound, yet despite the humour that underlies them<br />
there are chilling implications for the region and for the sustainability of its<br />
natural landscape and social traditions.<br />
With over 40 million overnight stays a year Austria’s tourist industry is all<br />
important to the country. Here there is ‘Something for everyone, summer<br />
and winter, season after season, event after event. A well-oiled leisure<br />
machine. A tourist paradise. Big business and big profits.’ But at what<br />
cost?<br />
Lois Hechenblaikner was born and raised in the Tyrol where his parents<br />
ran a guesthouse, and so he experienced tourism and the tourism industry<br />
from an early age. He is recognised as a critical observer of the changes in<br />
the Alpine area.

FRENCH KISS<br />
Anders Petersen<br />
Swedish born, Anders Petersen is internationally recognised for his<br />
intimate and personal documentary-style black-and-white photographs.<br />
Petersen explores the fringes of society and his images depict a raw, and<br />
sometimes disturbingly brutal, social portrait. Taken in the South of France,<br />
French Kiss is characteristic Petersen, exuding the poetic sadness,<br />
restlessness and sense of urgency that runs through all his work. When<br />
the work was first shown at Arles Photography Festival the response<br />
was astounding:<br />
‘They made everything else on display at the huge photography festival pale<br />
in comparison. They became the ‘buzz’ in Arles. And everyone realized that<br />
Anders Petersen (that wildly energetic 62-year-old guy) is still making some<br />
of the most arresting personal documentary photographs today’<br />
Jim Casper, Lens Culture.<br />
Anders Petersen has published more than 20 books and his work has been<br />
exhibited widely. He first became known for his series Café Lehmitz, a daily<br />
chronicle of the regulars – transvestites, prostitutes, drug addicts and harbour<br />
workers – of a Hamburg bar in the Reeperbahn, the city’s once notorious<br />
red-light district. Starting in 1967, Petersen continued the project for<br />
three years. The photobook of the same name was published eight years<br />
later, in 1978, first in Germany, and then in France (1979) and Sweden<br />
(1982). Café Lehmitz has since become regarded as a seminal book in the<br />
history of European photography.<br />
THE TEDS<br />
Chris Steele-Perkins & Richard Smith<br />
In early 1954, on a late train from Southend, someone pulled the communication<br />
cord. The train ground to a halt. Light bulbs were smashed. Police<br />
arrested a gang dressed in Edwardian suits. In April two gangs, also<br />
dressed Edwardian-style, met after a dance. They were ready for action:<br />
bricks and sand-filled socks were used. Fifty-five youths were taken in for<br />
questioning. The following August Bank Holiday the first ‘Best Dressed Ted<br />
Contest’ was held. The winner was a twenty-year-old greengrocer’s<br />
assistant. The Teddy Boy myth was born.<br />
The Teds is a classic of British documentary photography. Originally published<br />
in 1979, it is a vivid and absorbing book combining image and text<br />
to tell a fascinating story that spans some three decades.<br />

LOVE ON THE LEFT BANK<br />
Ed van der Elsken<br />
A facsimile of the ‘classic’ photobook. It focuses on the Left Bank in Paris<br />
– the centre of creative ferment in the 1950s which would determine the<br />
cultural agenda of a generation. The book tells of a fictional love story in<br />
photographs and short passages of text. Gritty and unconventional, it was<br />
acclaimed as expanding the boundaries of documentary photography and<br />
established van der Elsken’s reputation as one of the leading photographers<br />
of the 20th century.<br />
THE ANIMALS<br />
Giacomo Brunelli<br />
introduced by Alison Nordström<br />
‘Giacomo Brunelli has been looking hard at animals. His focus is not on the<br />
framed and caged exotica of zoos but on the ordinary animals that remain<br />
with us to some extent: horses, dogs, cats, chickens, pigeons. He shows us<br />
a fox, looking sharply at the camera and poised to flee, and there are numerous<br />
birds, a snake and several toads, but this wildness is small and fragile,<br />
living in the familiar liminal space where manmade and natural meet and<br />
overlap. His animals inhabit farmyards, cobbled streets and the façades of<br />
stone buildings. There are no tigers here.<br />
Brunelli’s animals are often composed only of suggestive fragments…<br />
He favours the profile and the counterintuitive angle, setting dark unobservable<br />
features against dark undiscernable backgrounds. A dead mouse, on<br />
its back, paws in air beside an oversized flower against a stark and distant<br />
mountain is no more or less frozen in time than is the growling dog, eyes<br />
alight and teeth forever bared; both are icons of states we fear but cannot<br />
know. These pictures are timeless and uncanny, powerful in their ordinariness,<br />
and emotionally much bigger than their simple subjects.’<br />

SMALL WORLD<br />
Martin Parr<br />
introduced by Geoff Dyer<br />
This is a revised and updated edition of Martin Parr’s classic book which was first<br />
published in 1996. It is a biting, very funny satire in which Parr looks at tourism<br />
worldwide, exposing the increasingly homogenous ‘global culture’ where in the<br />
search for different cultures those same cultures are destroyed. The issues that<br />
Parr raised over a decade ago when the book was first published are even more<br />
relevant today. Parr’s larger-than-life troupe of tourists are ultimately bemused<br />
victims of consumerism, locked into our insatiable craving for ‘the new’.<br />
Internationally recognised as a brilliant satirist of contemporary life Martin Parr<br />
has led the development of British documentary photography with wit, style, and<br />
intelligence in a career that boasts numerous publications and exhibitions. Martin<br />
Parr is a member of the prestigious MAGNUM photo agency.<br />
THE LAST RESORT<br />
Martin Parr<br />
essay by Gerry Badger<br />
When Martin Parr’s The Last Resort was first published and exhibited in 1986 it<br />
divided both critics and audiences alike. Some saw it as the ‘finest achievement<br />
to date’ of colour photography in Britain whilst others viewed it as ‘an aberration’.<br />
However it was viewed, it was undoubtedly a sharp, bitter satire of the Britain of<br />
the Thatcher years. With the benefit of hindsight there is little doubt that it transformed<br />
documentary photography in Britain and placed Parr amongst the world’s<br />
leading photographers. The book is now recognised as a ‘classic’ and early<br />
editions are highly sought by collectors worldwide.<br />
COMMON SENSE<br />
Martin Parr<br />
Common Sense combines extravagantly lurid and luscious colour with Parr’s<br />
trademark sense of irony. Though hilariously funny there is a sharp and biting<br />
edge to the humour. The launch of this extraordinary book was celebrated by<br />
simultaneous exhibitions in more than 40 different cities world-wide making it<br />
probably the largest exhibition of work ever held by one artist – a truly global<br />
project.<br />
AUTOPORTRAIT<br />
Martin Parr<br />
introduced by Marvin Heiferman<br />
For several years, when Martin Parr has travelled he has had his picture taken by a<br />
local studio photographer, or street photographer, or in a photo booth. The result is<br />
a wonderfully varied portfolio of portraits.<br />
FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOUR HOUSE<br />
selected by Martin Parr<br />
‘Warm, funny and frequently hilarious – this is a wonderful collection of cards<br />
celebrating the American Christmas.’<br />
Martin Parr has put together another wonderful book from his personal collection<br />
of cards. This time he celebrates the American Christmas card. These are a fascinating<br />
eye-opener into American culture, as proud families everywhere pose<br />
before the camera to send their Christmas greetings across the nation.<br />
BLEED<br />
Simon Norfolk<br />
The war in Bosnia in the 1990s raised to common currency the terms ‘ethnic<br />
cleansing’ and ‘humanitarian intervention’. It brought back to Europe a barbarism<br />
not seen since the Second World War, and was the first war fought very much<br />
under the eyes of the media. It was also the first conflict fought by killers who<br />
knew, even before the war had finished, that a war crimes tribunal awaited them.<br />
Norfolk’s photographs initially appear almost abstract. Yet through these still and<br />
beautiful images of ice, water, snow and the land, we can sense the arrogance of<br />
killers who believed they could conceal the brutal evidence of their crimes by<br />
reburying their victims in ‘secondary graves’. But over time secrets escape, and<br />
the truth bleeds out.<br />

AFGHANISTAN: CHRONOTOPIA<br />
Simon Norfolk<br />
Afghanistan: Chronotopia is already recognised as a classic of photography. First<br />
published in 2002 the work received international acclaim and established Norfolk<br />
as one of the UK’s most respected photographers. Norfolk’s primary concern is<br />
with the aftermath of conflict – to record beyong the surface of events, and to<br />
show the nature of war through its lasting effects and consequences.<br />

FOR MOST OF IT I HAVE NO WORDS<br />
Simon Norfolk<br />
Simon Norfolk has photographed sites of genocide and war crimes – names that<br />
ring like a death toll for the twentieth century – Rwanda, Cambodia, Vietnam,<br />
Auschwitz, Dresden, Ukraine, Armenia, Namibia. His photographs are charged<br />
with an overwhelming emotional intensity as they document where humans have<br />
left their trace: a tooth lying in a field, or the worn steps of prisons and death<br />
camps. They are a moving record of man’s inhumanity to man.<br />
Introduced by Michael Ignatieff, leading Canadian politician. Widely known for his<br />
work as an historian, author, and broadcaster before he entered politics in 2006.<br />

GABRIELE BASILICO<br />
Workbook: 1969-2006<br />
Gabriele Basilico<br />
This is the first complete monograph dedicated to the work of the Italian<br />
photographer Gabriele Basilico, who is recognised internationally as one of the<br />
most important contemporary landscape photographers. With more than 300<br />
photographs included – from Glasgow to Tel-Aviv, from Milan to Beirut – it is a<br />
comprehensive overview of a major figure whose career has spanned some 40<br />
years. Born in Milan in 1944, Gabriele Basilico first studied architecture. This early<br />
training is reflected in his work and shows in his understanding of the landscape<br />
and architectural form. His landscapes avoid human presence and explore the<br />
complex interrelationships between the built environment and the natural one.<br />
LANDSCAPES: 2001-2003<br />
Richard Billingham<br />
Trained as a fine artist, Richard Billingham took up photography whilst an art<br />
student as a way to inspire his paintings. In 1996, his book Ray’s a Laugh brought<br />
him to the attention of the photography and art worlds. Over recent years<br />
Billingham has photographed increasingly within the landscape and this book<br />
brings together this work for the first time. The images are contemplative and<br />
thoughtful and reflect his primary concern for the ‘making’ of an image.<br />
Billingham first exhibited in 1995 at the Anthony Reynolds Gallery, London, who<br />
still represent him. His work has received significant international acclaim – in<br />
1997 he won the Citibank Photography Prize and his work was one of the talking<br />
points of ‘Sensation’, the exhibition of Contemporary British Art from the Saatchi<br />
Collection. In 2001 he was shorlisted for the Turner Prize.<br />
INFECTED LANDSCAPE<br />
Israel: Broken Promised Land<br />
Shai Kremer<br />
Infected Landscape is a searing portrait of the military disfiguration of the landscape<br />
of Israel. The accumulation of ruins and military remnants is an important<br />
part of what defines the Israeli landscape today – wounds in the landscape that<br />
correspond to the wounds in the Israeli collective consciousness. The book<br />
includes photographs from the ‘Chicago’ miltary training centre in Israel. This<br />
centre encapsulates the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Over the years it<br />
has been rebuilt to represent different war environments and reflect varying scenarios<br />
– from Lebanon through to Gaza City. A further area was also constructed to<br />
simulate a refugee camp. The more recently established Urban Warfare Training<br />
Center also features.<br />
TRUNCATED<br />
Paul Hart<br />
foreword by Gerry Badger<br />
The forest interior is more architecture than landscape. Amongst the trees, your<br />
concept of time is changed. As you move deeper inside, and the outside world<br />
disappears, the wind is calmed and noise filtered, temperature is altered, and<br />
light is bounced and subdued. Some trees stand like sentinels, others are stolid<br />
in ranks, an army of trees appearing out of the dark. This apparent sanctuary of<br />
stillness can strangely transform. Stepping into the forest is always like stepping<br />
into the unknown, with the semi-dark concealing much, revealing a little. A place<br />
sometimes mysterious, sometimes secretive, but always seductive, always dark.<br />

THE MOTHER OF ALL JOURNEYS<br />
Dinu Li<br />
Inspired by the memories of his mother, originally told to him as bed-time stories,<br />
Dinu Li’s photographs tease out fragmented moments in time. Li collabrated with<br />
his mother, using each other’s recollections and comparing the actual with the<br />
images lodged in their minds. Spanning two decades from the mid 50s, Li turns<br />
his attention to a Hong Kong at a stage of transition, morphing from fishing village<br />
to urban metropolis. Finally Li focuses on Britain, from the resettlement of his<br />
family there in the 1970s, at a time of strikes and de-industrialisation, through to<br />
the new millennium, and an era of multi-culturalism and globalisation. Aided by<br />
family snapshots and Li’s mother’s narration, The Mother Of All Journeys triggers<br />
a sense of repetition and nostalgia, invoking glimpses of the times we live in.<br />

BOMBAY MIX<br />
Ketaki Sheth<br />
Ketaki Sheth’s photographs, so formally interesting, so sharply seen, so deeply felt.<br />
— Salman Rushdie<br />
Bombay Mix brings together the street photographs of leading Indian photographer<br />
Ketaki Sheth, images taken over a period of almost 20 years. Bombay is a city<br />
that never sleeps. Its population (almost 20 million) and its geography put a<br />
premium on space. A lot of ‘living’ happens on the street, where a disparate and<br />
unlikely blend of humanity defines its boundaries in a tightly confined space. The<br />
thrill of Bombay is the thrill of contrast. The streetscape of the city is as much<br />
psychedelic as it is kaleidoscopic: there is so much to see.<br />
In association with SEPIA/Alkazi Collection of Photography.<br />
COAL, FRANKINCENSE & MYRRH YEMEN AND BRITISH YEMENIS<br />
Tim Smith<br />
The reputed home of the Queen of Sheba, Yemen has been the crossroads of<br />
Africa, the Middle East and Asia for thousands of years thanks to its position on<br />
the ancient spice routes. It was a meeting point of people, ideas, money and<br />
goods and the centuries of trading generated much wealth. There has been a<br />
British presence ever since the early 1600s when the East India Company set up<br />
trading posts. The relationship lasted some 130 years until 1967 when the British<br />
finally pulled out. Yemen is the mother country of the longest-established of<br />
Britain’s Muslim communities. Yemenis came to Britain from the 1890s onwards,<br />
many as an indirect result of having joined the British Merchant Navy, and after<br />
World War Two there was further emigration. By the mid-1970s there were some<br />
15,000 Yemenis in Britain, though today this figure has reduced considerably.<br />
FLATLAND A LANDSCAPE OF PUNJAB 2003-2006<br />
Max Kandhola<br />
India’s Punjab is the land of the five rivers, five (Punj) rivers (Aab) – Ravi, Satluj,<br />
Chenab, Beas and Jhelum.<br />
Max Kandhola visited the region as part of his continuing project to map family<br />
history through an odyssey of ancestral narratives, exploring memory, diaspora<br />
and identity. Flatland provides a context and a beginning. It is a land which is<br />
unfamiliar, yet it is the birthplace of Kandhola’s family, who historically were<br />
landowners, connected to farming and agriculture and also to the military. Kandhola’s<br />
journey began in Nurmahal, in the district of Jalandhar, from which most of<br />
his family came. Using this as a starting point he travelled from the centre of<br />
Punjab outwards.<br />

SHUTTING UP SHOP<br />
The decline of the traditional small shop<br />
John Londei<br />
Shot over a fifteen-year period beginning in the early 1970s, Shutting Up Shop<br />
is a tribute to an era that has all but disappeared: the traditional small shops that<br />
feature have now almost all gone. In all there are 60 shops. Each is unique, the<br />
range diverse: from tea to tobacco, flowers to condoms. As well as shops from<br />
London, the series covers many regions of the UK, from the Isle of Harris to the<br />
Isle of Wight. Additional to the photographs of the shops are their stories, vividly<br />
told through anecdote and interviews with the staff. Londei has also updated<br />
what has become of the shopkeepers and shops he photographed so long ago.<br />
His findings are included in the fascinating ‘afterword’ section. Almost every<br />
single one has changed beyond recognition.<br />
IN A WINDOW OF PRESTES MAIA 911 BUILDING<br />
Julio Bittencourt<br />
In March 2006 the residents of 911 Prestes Maia, a 22 storey ramshackle tower<br />
block in the centre of sprawling São Paulo, learnt that they were to be evicted.<br />
Whilst the neglected building had apparently been empty for over a decade,<br />
1,630 people, including some 468 families, with 315 children, lived there. In 2003<br />
the ‘Movement of the Homeless’ had moved in hundreds of homeless families.<br />
The new residents cleaned up the place, and it became possibly the largest squat<br />
in the world, complete with a library, workshops and other educational activities.<br />
Bittencourt’s photographs are a powerful record of this diverse community.<br />
Bittencourt has won The Leica Oskar Barnack Award (Germany), Aperture<br />
Portfolio Prize (USA), and Fundacio Conrado Wessel de Arte (Brazil).<br />
GREAT PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEYS<br />
in the footsteps of 19th century British photographers<br />
John Hannavy<br />
One hundred and fifty years ago travelling with a camera was both a novelty and<br />
an enormous challenge. The intrepid photographers who took their cameras to<br />
remote corners of the world brought back images which amazed their peers.<br />
Photographer and historian John Hannavy has recreated some of their epic<br />
journeys – he followed routes taken by: William Henry Fox Talbot to Scotland<br />
(1844); Charles Kinnear & Thomas Melville Raven’s to France (1857); Francis Frith’s<br />
route along the Nile (1856-1859); Roger Fenton’s journey through Russia and the<br />
Ukraine; Samuel Bourne’s travels across India in 1863; and John Thomson’s<br />
travels in China and Cyprus between 1863 and 1878.<br />
A SHORT HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY<br />
Harvey Benge<br />
text by Gerry Badger<br />
While looking through his contact sheets, Harvey Benge noticed that one of his pictures<br />
reminded him of a ‘Friedlander’, another someone else. All photographers do<br />
this, and if the photograph in question apes another photographer too closely, it’s<br />
usually a cause for rejection. But Benge did the opposite. Picking out his ‘Friedlander’<br />
and his ‘Parr’ and his ‘Baltz’ he decided to make an ‘anthology’ of contemporary<br />
photography featuring some of its biggest names. Yet they are all genuine,<br />
original Benges. They are also all good pictures, not mere pastiches of the ‘originals’<br />
of which they gently but insistently remind one. This may be a game, but games can<br />
be very serious, and this fascinating book is both a serious and light-hearted exploration<br />
of photographic style. – Gerry Badger<br />
Harvey Benge has published over a dozen books and his work is held in many<br />
major international collections.<br />

STILL LIFE: KILLING TIME<br />
Edmund Clark<br />
foreword by Simon Norfolk, afterword by Erwin James<br />
Taken over the course of more than a year of exclusive access, this work applies<br />
large format still life photography to the context of a unique prison community,<br />
E Wing at Kingston Prison in Portsmouth. For eight years this was Britain’s only<br />
wing dedicated to holding elderly lifers: murderers, rapists, paedophiles and<br />
other violent criminals aged from their late 50s to over 80 years old. Elements<br />
of metaphor, abstraction and documentary explore the experience of long term<br />
incarceration and the passage of time, and touch on how ageing and physical<br />
decline affect the prison environment.<br />

THE LAST THINGS<br />
David Moore<br />
texts by Chris Petit & Angela Weight<br />
David Moore was allowed unprecedented access to a Crisis Management facility<br />
below ground in central London. Moore was able to observe a live working space,<br />
continuously on standby, and fully prepared for the most extreme national emergency.<br />
The facility’s hermetic, tightly regulated environment, artificially lit and air<br />
conditioned, is prescient with the threat of crisis. At once sophisticated and touchingly<br />
ordinary, part military and part civilian, Moore has documented its<br />
labyrinthine depths with chilling clarity.<br />

MILLENNIUM SCHOOL<br />
Krzysztof Zielinski<br />
Millennium School focuses on the primary school which Zielinski attended as a<br />
child in the small Polish town of Wabrzezno. ‘Primary School no 3’ was built in<br />
1962 as a part of a major government development masterplan – ‘A thousand<br />
schools for the thousand years of the Polish state’. This is why these schools were<br />
called ‘millennium memorial schools’. Essentially a propaganda plan, the new<br />
schools were presented as a gift from the Communist party to the nation, even<br />
though the post-war demographic boom meant that they were a necessity. Built<br />
around standard layouts, usually two or three storeys and constructed from prefabricated<br />
concrete, they were designed to be adaptable for military purposes with<br />
many having underground shelters and the capability of being converted into<br />
temporary hospitals.<br />
DREAMS & GOALS<br />
The World Cup & World Football 1990-<strong>2010</strong><br />
Alistair Berg<br />
introduced by Dr. Rogan Taylor<br />
In this outstanding collection of photographs Alistair Berg has captured fan culture<br />
around the world at its most vibrant and characterful. Images are drawn from Europe,<br />
South America, Asia and Australia with a chapter devoted to each World Cup<br />
from 1990 to 2006, and a special extended section on the game in Africa to mark<br />
the World Cup <strong>2010</strong>. The images are drawn from a 20 year period which has seen<br />
many changes in the profile of the football supporter, and a massive surge in the<br />
numbers that attend the World Cup.<br />
Alistair Berg has worked as a freelance photographer for over twenty years visiting<br />
more than fifty countries for some of the world’s most prominent publications and<br />
advertising agencies.

CATS, DOGS & OTHER RABBITS<br />
The extraordinary world of Harry Whittier Frees<br />
Frees began his career taking photographs of animals for novelty postcards. By<br />
1905 he was adding props and clothing to give the animals a more human appearance.<br />
The photographs lent themselves immediately to children’s books, and by<br />
1915 Frees had published several. His mother made most of the early outfits,<br />
which were designed to hold the animals in what can only be described as ‘unnatural’<br />
poses. In all his books though, Frees reassured readers that the photographs<br />
were made possible ‘only by patient unfailing kindness on the part of the photographer<br />
at all times’.<br />
His work was popular for several decades, and he continued to photograph and<br />
publish books until his death in 1953. Almost a century on from when he began,<br />
his work remains as surprising and appealing as ever.<br />
THE VISITORS<br />
Charlotte Cory<br />
Charlotte Cory’s images rework cartes de visite, the photographic visiting cards<br />
that were a Victorian craze. Many millions were produced and are now so commonly<br />
discarded in junk shops that they are almost worthless. To the Victorian<br />
men, women and children posing proudly in the studio she adds the heads of<br />
animals – stuffed animals shot long ago and preserved in museums for posterity<br />
to gawk at.<br />
Cory’s ‘Visitors’ are truly creatures of fantasy and fascination – each so carefully<br />
chosen and delicately posed that we think “can that be real?” A noble tiger in full<br />
military regalia, a dejected donkey slumped in a chair in a sparse studio setting, a<br />
haughty kangaroo holding a cricket bat and gazing out at us dismissively. What<br />
kind of extraordinary creatures are these?<br />
DINKY TOYS<br />
‘much loved’ Dinky Toys of the 1950s<br />
Kim Sayer<br />
Dinky Toys must be one of the most successful and collectable toys ever made.<br />
The toys that feature here are neither pristine or shiny. Collected over the years by<br />
photographer Kim Sayer, their charm is in the chips, dents and worn paint work –<br />
toys that have been played with and loved. Each model is given its own delightful<br />
setting, reflecting a more gentle and innocent era. Visual puns abound – the<br />
Landrover, “a fine model of a vehicle designed to go anywhere and do anything”<br />
climbs its way up a staircase, whilst the Avro York Airliner takes off from the ironing<br />
board. Many of the photographs also play off against the original marketing<br />
tagline used to sell the models: “Just look at the remarkable detail on this exciting<br />
model of Britain’s famous centurion tank. It is a welcome reinforcement for the playroom<br />
army.”<br />
PAINTED LADIES<br />
Postcards of the early 20th century<br />
edited by Nick Hedges<br />
In the early 20th century the picture postcard provided an immediate and direct<br />
form of cheap communication – rather like text messaging today. Made by<br />
anonymous photographers and hand-coloured by thousands of unknown women<br />
working in their studios, hand-tinted cards became one of the most popular of art<br />
forms. This extraordinary collection encompasses cards from throughout the world<br />
including Africa and the Middle East, many raising issues of colonialism, and exoticism,<br />
but many also just celebrating everyday relationships, friendship and family.<br />
Painted Ladies provides a colourful and fascinating insight into the fashion, culture<br />
and interests of the early twentieth century.<br />
EUROPEAN PUBLISHERS AWARD FOR PHOTOGRAPHY<br />
The European Publishers Award for Photography is a major initiative to encourage the<br />
publication of contemporary photography. The competition requires the submission<br />
of a substantial, completed and unpublished photographic book project. The winning<br />
project is then published in book form simultaneously by each of the publishers in their<br />
own country resulting in perhaps the most extensive cultural collaboration currently<br />
existing in Europe.<br />
