Archive is the first book by Sofia Coppola, covering the entirety of her singular and influential career in film. Constructed from Coppola's personal collection of photographs and ephemera, including early development work, reference collages, influences, annotated scripts, and unseen behind-the-scenes documentation, it offers a detailed account of all eight of her films to date. Mapping a course from The Virgin Suicides (1999), through Lost in Translation (2003) and Marie Antoinette (2006), to The Beguiled (2017) and her upcoming feature Priscilla (fall 2023), exploring Priscilla Presley's early years at Graceland, this luxurious volume reflects on one of the defining and most unmistakable cinematic oeuvres of the twenty-first century. An art book personally edited and annotated throughout by Coppola, Archive offers an intimate encounter with her methods, references, and collaborators and an unprecedented insight into her working processes. Accompanying the highly personal images and texts from Coppola's archive is an extended interview with renowned film journalist Lynn Hirschberg discussing the remarkable oeuvre they reflect. Designed by Joseph Logan and Anamaria Morris.
Francesca Woodman: The Artist's Books collects for the first time every page of all eight of Francesca Woodman's unique artist's books in one comprehensive volume, including two newly discovered books which have never been seen before, alongside better-known titles such as Some Disordered Interior Geometries. The basis of these works is in tattered nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century journals and notebooks that Woodman collected from bookshops and flea markets in Rome in the late 1970s. She later transformed these found volumes, attaching her prints, transparencies, and written annotations to their evocative pages. These books demonstrate a sophisticated relationship to narrative and sequence and offer a new understanding of the scope of Woodman's engagement with the book form.
First published in 1996 to enormous acclaim, Richard Billingham's Ray's a Laugh is one of the most significant photobooks of the turn of the twentieth century, as well as a cornerstone work of the Young British Artists generation. Formed of starkly intimate images of Billingham's often chaotic parental home under the heavy effects of alcoholism and poverty, the book was produced in the 1990s with editors Michael Collins and Julian Germain. This new edition restores Billingham's original vision for his deeply personal work for the first time. Including numerous unseen images and a distinct approach to sequencing inflected by Billingham's training as a painter: it constitutes a 'director's cut' and reintroduces a vital and consistently challenging work for a new era. The publication of this new edition is accompanied by Ray's a Laugh: A Reader, edited by Liz Jobey, which traces the book's compelling history from Billingham's 'discovery' at Sunderland University, through his Turner Prize nomination, to the present reworked edition
Over two decades, Gregory Halpern has been photographing in and around his hometown of Buffalo, New York, meticulously crafting the series of photographs that forms his latest monograph. King, Queen, Knave is an idiosyncratic vision of a city amidst its contradictions, defying familiar narratives of post-industrial decline and embracing an enigmatic strain of reality verging on surrealism. Halpern's mesmerising sequence unfurls as a stage across which distinct and unpredictable characters appear in and amongst solitary buildings, snowdrifts, and sun-bleached scenes of everyday transcendence. The images often locate their subjects within the specificities of the season and balance a historical project with the immediacy of a moment in its individual radiance. Embracing themes of reversal and ascension, Halpern confronts the complexities of his birthplace and of contemporary America at large, seeing beauty intertwined with ugliness and redemption with despair. This lyrical new work is testament to the endless complexity of a place at once familiar and unknown.
Ce livre présente le retour d'Alessandra Sanguinetti dans l'Argentine rurale pour poursuivre sa collaboration intime avec Belinda et Guillermina, deux cousines qui, en tant que filles, ont été les sujets du premier livre de sa série en cours, Les Aventures de Guille et Belinda et la signification énigmatique de leur Rêves. Dans ce deuxième volume, L'illusion d'un été éternel, nous suivons Guillermina et Belinda de 14 à 24 ans dans la négociation du territoire fluide entre l'adolescence et le jeune adulte. Toujours entouré par les animaux et les milieux ruraux de leur enfance, Everlasting Summer dépeint la vie quotidienne des deux cousins alors qu'ils vivent l'amour, la grossesse et la maternité des jeunes - tout cela, peut-être inévitablement, se traduit par une indépendance toujours croissante de leurs familles. De même, nous pouvons sentir un changement dans la relation de Sanguinetti avec les cousines et le travail qu'elles font: de collaborateurs d'enfance insulaires à trois femmes dont la vie se ramifie dans des directions différentes. Bien que le passage du temps soit l'une des tensions les plus palpables à l'oeuvre dans ces photographies, An Everlasting Summer approfondit l'exploration par Sanguinetti du langage universel et intemporel de l'intimité et de l'amitié féminines.
Pendant plus de deux décennies, Alessandra Sanguinetti a photographié la vie de Guillermina et Belinda, deux cousines vivant dans la campagne argentine, alors qu'elles traversaient l'enfance et la jeunesse vers la féminité. Ce volume, initialement publié en 2010 et réédité aujourd'hui comme le premier volet d'une trilogie, raconte les cinq premières années de leur collaboration. Les images de Sanguinetti dépeignent une enfance à la fois familière et exceptionnelle. Les terres agricoles de l'ouest de la province de Buenos Aires sont un mélange particulier de moderne et de traditionnel, où la vie est vécue en harmonie avec les animaux et les paysages accidentés. Dans ce contexte, Guille et Belinda traversent les rites d'enfance de se déguiser et de faire croire, d'explorer et de s'approprier le monde qui les entoure au fur et à mesure. Alors qu'elles glissent entre les rôles, se produisent alternativement pour et sont capturées par la caméra de Sanguinetti, le lien profond entre les deux filles est indéniable. À l'approche du précipice du début de l'adolescence, leurs jeux sont empreints du poids poignant de leurs rêves et de leurs désirs alors que le monde du jeu rencontre celui de la réalité. En dépeignant la vie des femmes et des filles dans le monde traditionnellement masculin des gauchos et agriculteurs argentins, le livre de Sanguinetti interroge les cadres de mythologies de toutes sortes, honorant des vies généralement invisibles. Les Aventures de Guille et Belinda est un portrait de l'enfance rurale à la fois calme et poétique, dans laquelle le fantastique et le banal sont intimement liés. Alessandra Sanguinetti est née à New York en 1968 et a grandi en Argentine où elle a vécu de 1970 à 2003. Elle est lauréate d'une bourse de la Fondation Guggenheim et d'une bourse de la Fondation Hasselblad, et est membre de Magnum Photos. Ses photographies font partie de collections publiques et privées, telles que le Museum of Modern Art (NY), le San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, le Museum of Fine Arts de Houston, le Museum of Fine Arts de Boston. Les publications précédentes incluent Le sixième jour (2005) et Les aventures de Guille et Belinda et l'illusion d'un été éternel (MACK, 2020). Sanguinetti a photographié pour le New York Times Magazine, LIFE, Newsweek et New York Magazine et est actuellement basé à San Francisco.
A forest fire between us is an ambitious publication that uncovers Tee A. Corinne's radical and expansive photographic practice, offering a new perspective on the intersections of her work as photographer, lesbian sex activist, educator, and author. Edited by curator Charlotte Flint, this book charts a route though Corinne's practice with never-before-seen photographs, slides, contact sheets, and ephemera uncovered from her archive. Showcasing the pioneering work that established Corinne as one of the foremost lesbian photographers of her time, this publication places Corinne alongside friends, fellow artists, writers, and activists who helped define radical counterculture, from Audre Lorde to Joan E. Biren (JEB), Ruth Mountaingrove to Honey Lee Cottrell, among others. At the book's heart are the Feminist Photography Ovulars, gatherings of women in the Oregon countryside which were the setting for DIY photographic workshops exploring image-making against the natural landscape, which Corinne co-organized in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The photographs made during these annual gatherings speak to the incredible community that Corinne fostered, and an understanding of the ways in which play and pleasure can come together to create something radical. Delving into an extensive array of archival material, A forest fire between us is a call to action that shows us the ways in which photography, activism, and community can come together to create a powerful new visual language around desire. With an extensive chronology and texts by Ruth Mountaingrove, JEB, and Charlotte Flint
Coinciding with a major retrospective exhibition at MAXXI, Rome, Col tempo, 1956-2024 provides a complete and long-awaited retrospective of the career of Guido Guidi, sequenced by the artist himself in his typically illuminating, associative style. The book begins with some of the earliest photographs Guidi made, aged fifteen, in the countryside around his home in Cesena in the Italian region of Romagna. The sequence that follows, covering almost seventy years, encompasses a wide range of styles, forms, and approaches as it traces the evolution of one of the most important voices in contemporary photography. It includes journeys to the USA, Russia, Turkey, and Portugal, and studies of the works of architects including Carlo Scarpa, Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier. Consistently, though, it returns to the modest agricultural landscapes where Guidi was born and still lives and works today, among which he has developed the revelatory visual language for which he is celebrated as a modern master. Including many of Guidi's most famous works and series alongside unseen early and new works, paintings, and writings, this book reveals the influences of Early Renaissance frescoes, minimalism, Pop art, and semiotics on his rich and layered oeuvre. It is completed by a suite of critical essays by Frits Gierstberg, Florian Ebner, Alessandro Coco, and exhibition curators Simona Antonacci, Pippo Ciorra, and Antonello Frongia. This paperback edition includes Guidi's full sequence and all critical essays from the quickly sold-out original hardback. Co-published with MAXXI, Rome

Between 2022 and 2024, Alec Soth visited twenty-five undergraduate art programmes across the United States. Advice for Young Artists comprises work he made there. Its title - perhaps like the visits themselves - is misleading: rather than wisdom or guidance, Soth offers an angular and unresolved reflection on artmaking at different stages of life and the relations of photography, time, and ageing. The photographs here range from formal studies evocative of the classroom to more unruly works of self-expression. Ambiguous stagings, found forms, and lyrical portraits are interspersed with gnomic quotes and unfinished credos scrawled on Post-its. Among the students, Soth himself appears at intervals, an uncertain sage in their midst.
Inspired by Walker Evans's late Polaroids, this latest body of work reveals a new expansion of Soth's practice and a new vantage, twenty years on from the publication of his first book. Recalling the conceit of Broken Manual, it uses an instructional format as a spurious cover for introspection and provocation. As much as a study of the experience of the young artist, this is a reckoning with the prospect of becoming an old one.
This publication traces a theoretical and visual narrative of the relationship of art and architecture with the colour black through two engaging essays by acclaimed architect and critic Mohsen Mostafavi and the Marxist German art historian Max Raphael (1889-1952). Bringing together a rich inventory of images, Mostafavi considers architecture's connection with the colour by considering parallel developments in global art practices - with references ranging from Japanese screens to Rothko, Georgia O'Keefe to Kara Walker, Peter Celsing to Derek Jarman. Alongside these renowned touchpoints, he draws on Raphael's little-known and highly distinctive text The Color Black: On the Material Constitution of Form, based on a selection of old master paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Contemporaneous with the evolution of black paintings by New York's Abstract Expressionists, Raphael's essay offers a strikingly different approach to the same multivalent subject. Raphael offers an invigorating model of criticism, which, in John Berger's words, 'leads us from the work to the process of creation which it contains'. This book presents Mostafavi's and Rapahel's complementary and luminous essays side by side, the latter published in English for the first time in a compelling translation by Pamela Johnston. They are completed by conversations with Swiss architect Peter Märkli, whose use of black is informed by Raphael's writings, and the artist Theaster Gates, whose work explores the aesthetic and political possibilities of the colour. Juxtaposing the present with the recent and distant past, this book provides a many-layered reading of the colour black - and of colour more widely - in relation to contemporary architectural thinking and practice.
Following the vast critical acclaim of Stephen Shore's experimental memoir Modern Instances: The Craft of Photography, we are pleased to present this new and expanded edition, available in paperback. Perfect for both new readers and those wanting to learn more from Shore's invaluable teaching, this edition includes several new essays not included in the hardcover, over forty new images, plus an extensive notes section in which Shore reflects on elements of the original text and expands on themes such as inspiration, gifts, tragedy, and vernacular photography. Modern Instances: The Craft of Photography is an impressionistic scrapbook that documents the rich and surprising touchstones that make up over half a century of ground-breaking work. With essays, photographs, stories, and excerpts that draw on Shore's decades of teaching, this is an essential handbook for anyone interested in learning more about mastering one's craft and the distinct threads that come together to inform a creative voice. As much as offering meditation on the influences of a single artist, Modern Instances proposes a new way of thinking about the world around us, in which even the smallest moment can become a source of boundless inspiration - if only we pay attention.
The olive tree is a totem of Palestinian identity, culture, and resistance. It supports the livelihoods of more than 100,000 Palestinian families, is a centre of traditions and identities, and has long been a target of destruction and theft. Since 1967, 800,000 Palestinian olive trees have been destroyed by Israeli authorities and settlers. Over the past eighteen months, photographers Adam Broomberg and Rafael Gonzalez have been photographing olive trees in the Occupied Territories of Palestine, many of which are thousands of years old. This book brings together their studied, absorbing portraits of these trees, which act as fixed points in a historic and transforming landscape that is constantly disputed, altered, and increasingly destroyed. Each portrait bears witness to the presence and resilience of the Palestinian people and their relationship with the land.
Matthieu Nicol's Fashion Army undertakes a unique investigation of the evolution of military attire into iconic fashion. With exclusive access to a declassified US Army archive, Nicol presents 350 images tracing the transformation of military style from the late 1960s to the early 1990s. These rarely seen images show the meticulous development of uniforms designed to meet the demands of the battlefield as well as everyday military life, as well as being ambiguous images of masculinity and selfhood. Nicol focuses on the awkward yet familiar nuances of individuals posing, with their tentative smiles and uneasy stances. Through these compellingly edited and sequenced images, Fashion Army forms an account of style, innovation, and the enduring and charged impact of military attire on popular fashion and identity, offering a nuanced reading of how the military's necessity becomes fashion's trend. Includes an essay by renowned fashion critic Angelo Flaccavento, offering critical perspective on the interplay between military functionality and the fashion industry.
