When I received a copy of Michael Brodie’s new book Failing, I knew it would take me a while to organize my feelings towards it. Some thoughts take time to settle from a place of instinctive fondness and sentimentality, especially when you feel so strongly connected to someone’s previous work. As for many of us, my […]
I started from the earth the pirriaturi dug to bring the stone to light. I arrived at the planet, which today is kept in the cavities that give rise to the hypogeum gardens. Past and present real mingle with facts, legends, possible truths, and distant mythologies in this place.- Alessandra Calò Particular global geographies exist […]
I had not held a copy of Americans Seen until this new remastered edition, published by Nazraeli Press, landed on my doorstep a few weeks ago. I had previously come to Sage’s work through her book Animals, published in 2019 by British publishers Stanley/Barker. It was at that point that I became aware of Americans […]
Access to medical attention should be a right, no matter religious qualification or moralizing over another adult person’s decision. In the case of abortion, this is complicated by how we judge human sentience in the form of an unborn child. It is complicated. To say otherwise would be a misstep that does not account […]
How long should mourning last? Could you tell me the prescribed timeframe for a loved one’s passing to be followed by a resolution? The fallacy of the human condition regarding loss suggests that one can move on from a significant loss, when in reality, as the metric is difficult to ascertain, mourning, from my perspective […]
These photographs were taken by weather cameras in Finland every twelve minutes. From that point, the Finnish weather authorities/authorities who observed the weather uploaded the images online to be viewed for 24 hours before they disappeared. This presented an opportunity for Finnish artist Tatu Gustafsson to perform for the weather camera and document […]
Without knowing much about architecture, what I find fascinating is that it is one of the forms of art that its artists can layer with the fantastical and still deliver a direct utility. Of course, most architects and architecture do not work toward abstraction; instead, they look at the medium as one for function […]
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 […]

I feel slightly guilty posting this as I know by the time you read it, that it will be improbable you will find a copy as there are only 50 copies in the edition. Hopefully, it will inspire the publisher Photobook Daydream Editions to consider publishing more, as Fumitsugu Takedo’s Ambience Decay is one […]
DIARY ENTRY 25/01/2025 Today I went back to writing. There has been very little time to work on the text accompanying the book in the last few months. Re read notes, retracing steps – yet again. I close my eyes and everything is there in front of me. The only thing I do not remember […]
