The Boundary between Photography and Painting There are “paintings that look like photographs” and “photographs that look like paintings.” Since the birth of photography, the two arts have at times merged and at others repelled, but have always retained a close relationship. The boundary between paintings and photographs is growing more and more ambiguous. The two arts now exist in harmony, and the possibilities of expression are expanding. Featuring Paul Strand, Nerhol, Collier Schorr, Nan Goldin and more.

Evolutions in Fashion Photography: Fashion photography has always functioned intimately with commerce. Despite its design for consumption, however, it has left an indelible mark on the history of photography. Shifts in economics, technology, standards of beauty, and other social values have altered fashion photography’s purpose and evolved its output. Fashion photography is currently at an interesting turning point. It is developing new facets and its distance from art is quickly diminishing. Featuring Synchrodogs, Todd Hido, Viviane Sassen, Bloomers and Schumm, Asger Carlsen and more!

£27.00

This series was first photographed in 2012, when Hosokura participated artist-in-residency programme in Taipei. The outcome was produced through a complex combination of analogue and digital print techniques to approach the immateriality of an image against the materiality of medium. In the photographs each image appears ambivalently and unfixed, as if its floating on the print forever. The photographer describes her experience as something like a fever, and it made her think of photography as an ambiguous medium, floating between its materiality and visuality. She has turned all the elements, such as the tropical nature, climate, and the youth with animation, into a new sensation in a form of photography.

The Great Circus



Published by: The Torch Press

144 pages 23 x 30 cm Hardcover 2014

£22.00

Having shown his peculiar talent in the field of the illustration and given his great influences on various sub-cultures since the 1990s, Tomoo Gokita (1969- ) has continued to exhibit his large-scale tableaux both in Japan and in the international art world for more than a decade. This exhibition—his first solo show in a museum—features about 90 works, including 11 new paintings as its core, along with drawing series that have never been publicly exhibited anywhere before as well as the large-scale works that are being shown in the first time in Japan. Through these, we shall pursue the various aspects of what constitutes the present Tomoo Gokita. Coinciding with this exhibition at Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art in Japan, this catalogue shows all works exhibited and some unpublished recent works of both drawings and paintings. 15 years since his debut book “Lingerie Wrestling”, this volume will be his first book extensively compiling his painting works of early to the recent.

10 Days in Krakow



Published by: Jiazazhi Press

168 pages 18.5 x 20 cm Hardcover Edition of 500 2014

£52.00

10 Days in Kraków is presented in the form between a travelogue and a scrapbook. Although the book doesn’t have a content page, within the seemingly fragmented structure, three chapters unfold themselves – War, City, and Connection (from there to here / from I to you). The book consists of snapshots, diaries and found images I created or collected during my 10 days stay in the city, as well as fragments (film stills and text excerpts) from three existing works: The Sky Crawlers (2008, directed by Mamoru Oshii), Invisible Cities (written by Italo Calvino) and 2 or 3 Things I Know about Her (1967, directed by Jean-Luc Godard). The appropriation of three existing works also distinguishes the three-chapter structure of the book. The fragments from three works that created at different times and backgrounds are carefully intertwined with the materials I collected in Kraków during the 10 days. These elements sometimes mingle intensively, while other times, structured relatively loosely. Mediated by the rhythm of editing and sequencing, the fragments gradually weaved out a vague and open narrative.

Coastline



Published by: Jiazazhi Press

192 pages 21.5 x 28 cm Hardcover 2014

£67.00

Zhang Xiao was born in 1981 in Yantai, Shandong province. He now lives in Chengdu, Sichuan province. He won Houdengke Documentary Photography Award (China) in 2009, won Three Shadows Photography Award (China) in 2010, won The Photography Talent Award (France) in 2010, won MIO Photo Award (Japan) 2011, won The PRIX HSBC POUR LA PHOTOGRAPHIE (France) 2011. Zhang Xiao started his journey from 2009-2013 along the coastline of China. China has long coastline which from the mouth of Yalu river in Liaoning province in the northern to the mouth of Beilun river in Guangxi province in the southern. Totally, it is continuous eighteen thousands kilometers. There are great changes every day in China since it began opening up 30 years ago. The cities are like big construction sites speeding their construction pace to catch up with the rest of the world. All of this appears particularly outstanding in China's coastal areas. A multitude of countrymen leave their native place to go there. Urbanization drive continually accelerate growth while people’s spiritual life stay. In China, every year hundreds of millions of people find work in other places. During the Spring Festival, hundreds of millions of people return home during a very short time, so the whole family can be reunited. They come from everywhere, North to South, East to West. People often lose their way during this process, losing the feeling of a real home. Lacking a sense of belonging, perhaps this is a symptom of being Chinese during this time.

This healing hot spring in the far western part of Hayakawa, Minamikoma District in Yamanashi Prefecture in 1974 was a two hour bus ride from Minobu up into the Hayakawa tributary of the Fuji River. People would come from nearby Yamanashi and Shizuoka, but also parties of local ladies returning from homes in the suburbs of Tokyo and Saitama and groups of local men, staying for 10, 20 days or sometimes a month of care or treatment, in long-stay self catering. Each year would see familiar faces come back to bathe, to sing, to dance and to eat and live together. I often used to visit onsen nearby Lake Tazawa in Aomori, including Tsuru-no-yu, Tae-no-yu, Kuro-yu, also Nyuto-onsenkyo in Akita and Dai-yu and Tochiomata in Niigata. Far removed from any daily routine. In spring I would draw on the vigor from the mountain plants; in winter I would walk in snowshoes on the Lake Tazawa plateau and sip drops of water melting from the pine trees in the morning sun. Hearing of Nishiyama Onsen being fairly easily accessible from the Chuo Line out of Tokyo, I made my way there. It had a big bath with tiled walls inside a three storey wooden structure, and was packed with people taking their bath before bedtime. An empire of nakedness. In the morning bath an old lady lies on her belly enjoying the rising sun; after lunch in the bright sunshine a fat-bottomed madame sings “Oyoge-tai-yaki-kun”; a group of ladies belt out “A Woman`s Virtue” from “Tonosama Kings”. Bold battalions of butt-naked ladies in their 60s and 70s, youthful skin all dazzling white. With a towel covering my camera, letting the lens acclimatize to the steamy atmosphere, I start my shoot! “Hey you, photographer, sing us a song!” they say. We get friendly after 2 or 3 days, I share a meal with them and get invited to their room for more celebrations. A week passed very quickly. (Text / Shoko Hashimoto)

The second issue was dedicated to gay porn star Fanscois Sagat. I was obsessed with him and used loads of images i found on google. The third issue was in collaboration with Alasdair McLellan about the male model Randy who unfortunately died of an overdose. Each issue was based upon an obsession of mine. BOYO was a zine like scrap book put together in my spare time and given to friends. The name BOYO was a nick name I only used when txting one of my mates Christopher. The zine gathered some attention and i was soon asked to start collaborating with photographers for magazine stories.

Cameron Jamie
Front Lawns and Funerals



Published by: Edition Patrick Frey

144 pages 23.5 x 35 cm Hardcover 2015 First Edition

£55.00

America’s decoration frenzy: graveyard cemeteries, ghosts, guillotines, skeletons in coffins, dismembered body parts, giant spiders and creatures turn up on the front lawns and exteriors of suburban homes in America every year. Families across the country decorate and stage their porches and gardens with horrorthemed scenes to celebrate Halloween on October 31st. In 1984, American artist Cameron Jamie started photographing these front exteriors in his old neighborhood in a suburban area of Los Angeles. Even while living full-time in France for the past fifteen years, Jamie continued to travel back to Los Angeles each year, just to continue this photographic ritual. One aspect of what makes these photographs extraordinary is the fact that they were all  shot during the day rather than at night, which changes the meaning and whole context of how we normally perceive the horror and death culture surrounding Halloween. Thus, Front Lawn Funerals and Cemeteries is not a book about Halloween, but rather about the opposing tensions of themes and imagery of death staged in these daylight domestic environments, between feelings of something at once very calm, humorous, violent, and uncanny. For the artist, the practice of transforming the suburban home into a cemetery or chamber of horror is a metaphor and form of vernacular art, which he calls “The American Grand Guignol.” The exteriors of these Los Angeles suburban front lawns become theatrical stages which show how death is expressed and perceived in America by the people and, in effect, for the amusement of the people. When real social themes and villains are mixed, merging with the fictionalized worlds of Hollywood horror monsters and real life, the world becomes an even stranger place in which to live. The West Coast sun will never shine the same again.   The artist book Front Lawn Funerals and Cemeteries is numbered.  "The book itself is an exceptionally produced, as is everything on Edition Patrick Frey, complete with glow in the dark cover and gravestone-imitated endpapers. It is a rightful production for such a project, the monochrome images inside becoming pathologically reduced from the myopia of nostalgic affect that color sometimes disables."
