I was sent this lovely book about the choreography and performance art of Hermann Heisig by Spector Books, one of Germany’s finest publishers, at the suggestion of their team. I tend to value suggestions like these from a publisher known for a wide output, as they offer a thoughtful dialogue between parties. I get to […]
Nan Goldin, This Will Not End Well, Pirelli HangarBicocca, Milan 11.10.2025 – 15.02.2026 By Anna Zimm & Sophie Zimm — There aren’t many exhibitions that would make me travel to another city, but in mid-October Nan Goldin’s This Will Not End Well opened at the Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan—an exhibition my sister Sophie and I […]
I first encountered the visceral photographs of Lucile Boiron a few years ago when I bought a copy of her book Mise en Pièces, also published by Belgian publisher Art Paper Editions (APE), like her new book Bouche. I remember being very excited about the book, as it reminded me of the visceral tendencies in […]
Daan Paan’s Floating Signifiers, published by The Eriskay Connection is a fascinating study of a type of aesthetic evolutionary morphology as evidenced through several case studies concerning image typology from trees, hinting at ecological questions through fantasy-driven tropes such as the Panta Rhei birthing figure, executed from popular culture, culled from Stephen Spielberg’s Indiana Jones […]
I have mentioned several projects in the past here that use the window as a mechanism for photographic discourse. There are quite a few mentions of the window as a source for inspiration; perhaps the most well-known is eminent curator John Szarkowski’s discourse about mirrors and windows, and the difference between how an artist […]
What appears as fok or “primitive” in the handling of Magdalena Suarez Frimkess’s exceptional sculpture is illusory. Instead, what the work relies on is a consistent production of cultural comic and cartoon icons ad infinitum, their forms shaped not by Frimkess’s vision of a new form but by the replication (at volume) of these cultural […]
Artist-photographer Andi Gáldi Vinkó turns her lens on the raw, often overlooked facets of pregnancy and early motherhood. In this interview, she discusses her photobook Sorry I Gave Birth I Disappeared But Now I’m Back and explains how her candid — sometimes subversive — images dismantle stereotypes while illuminating the everyday experiences and unspoken struggles of maternal […]
When confronted with any set of images or photographs in series, it is instinctual to try and form an understanding of what is being communicated. In the absence of being explicitly told, we sub-consciously begin to form relationships between the images that help constitute for us, a narrative or story we can hang onto. We […]
Published by Witty Books in 2023 and designed by Giulia Boccarossa, Sofia Masini’s first photobook The body is a revelation as is landscape experiments with reconfigurations of the artist’s body and of the world it inhabits. Through a series of images in which both body and landscape are cut, disassembled, xeroxed, crumpled, recycled, multiplied and […]
“Of course they will find it difficult to situate them historically. They must feel free to see them as images that evoke something in their own minds. They’re illustrations inspired by a theme, actually, rather than depictions of a particular story, I think.” – Paula Rego Though she was speaking about her own images, Paula […]
Bryan Schutmaat is a photographer of the American West. His work is dedicated to sites along the interstate highway — forgotten mining towns, abandoned truck stops, weathered billboards, the garbage scattered across dirt roads. What he is attracted to is the region’s extremes: the harsh desert sun, its arid fields, trash heaps of tires, the […]
To understand what Jermaine Francis is about, it makes sense to pursue thinking beyond the labels we give to each other. His work is compelled by a certain kind of experience. It is an experience that I directly relate to, and this is why it was necessary to write this article and express it beyond […]
