History and Imagination presents the works of four Singapore photographers: Tan Lip Seng, Lee Lim, Lim Kwong Ling and Lee Sow Lim. These amateur photographers were active members of camera clubs in the 1950s and 1960s, a period of rapid political and urban change in newly independent Singapore. Navigating the desire to document the emerging nation against the conventions of pictorial photography, scholarly essays and full-colour plates trace how their images parallel a newfound search for independence from British rule and the anxieties of modernity.

In this stunning collection, the photographer/author has fulfilled a long-term mission to photograph the captivating and evocative historic Catholic churches of the state of New Mexico. The mission became a journey that covered the highways, back roads, and SUV trails of the state, from north to south, east to west. He has driven these roads, photographing these churches that reflect New Mexico's complex history and beautiful landscapes, and talked to many people who attend, maintain, and love them. His descriptions of the churches reflect that complex beauty and provide enough information for the reader to find each of them. The photographs and descriptions also reflect an urgency: many small, rural, historic churches in New Mexico lack funds for maintenance as rural populations decline, and some of them are at risk of disappearing forever. This volume covers the churches along the Rio Grande, a transportation and trade corridor for millennia and home to many of New Mexico's oldest Catholic churches. The churches include famous and imposing ones like Holy Cross in Santa Cruz de la Cañada, with its glorious artwork, and more-modest ones off the beaten track like San Antonio Mission Church in Alamillo. They include churches from near the Mexican border in the south to Taos County in the north, covering not only a geographic span but a time span from the early 1700s to the 20th century. The churches reflect the diversity of New Mexico's communities and history. Each is unique and each one claims the Land of Enchantment as home.

Based on real interactions with people during Covid, this book will entertain you, make you laugh, and make you angry. The way people reveal themselves when confronted with masks in retail is at the heart of this little gem.

Search 2021 is a published conceptual artwork that is a comprehensive documentation of the artist, Joshua Hashemzadeh's, internet search history. This book is a single volume (Vol.3) out of 4 that records one year's worth of searches done during the 2021 calendar year. Which parts of you live online? And which parts don't? The oddity of engaging with the intangible is something we have normalized, lusted for, and feared, as our digital footprint and virtual ecosystems have matured to scale - It's this contemplation that inspires my ongoing series, "SEARCH," a collection of performance-driven art books that archive and materialize all of my time on the web. This three-volume set, comprising over 1,000 pages of searches, documents the curiosities, inspirations, and methodology behind my studio practice and life as an artist from Jan. 1 - Dec.31, 2021. Originally started in 2015 after the completion of my undergraduate program at SFAI, this endeavor aims to build an immersive library that documents my web history over the course of my life. Although developed as a loose bibliography for my artistic practice I find these objects can exist sculpturally on their own. These artworks reflect on time and physical mass in a visceral, and ubiquitous manner that I harken back to early inspirations like On Kawara and Richard Serra. Search 2021 touches on similar sculptural principles and further connects to the notion of a "body" as it moves through digital space. I love knowing that as my archive gets longer, the work will inevitably get bigger. At some point as I age the work will outsize my physical presence and hold more information than I can ever remember. At that point, it becomes questionable which object represents us best, the body, or the history it leaves behind.

Femxphotographers.org's second publication Mind Over Matter focuses inward. Womxn's bodies are frequently sexualized while their minds are vilified and their voices silenced. This is true throughout history and in different cultures worldwide. A book about female vision, the power of the mind, as well as dreams and fantasies, logic and intuition, Mind Over Matter is an exploration of inner strength, courage, determination, willpower, and support in complex and individual series. Edited by Roula Seikalyi and with contributions by photographers from the team as well as many guest artists and writers, the publication has the character of an illustrated reader. FEMXPHOTOGRAPHERS.ORG is an independent, non-hierarchical collective, dedicated to the promotion of fine art photographers, who expose and deconstruct the dominant male gaze in photography. They shape contemporary discourse by releasing thematic publications, organizing exhibitions and panels, providing photographers with an empowering network of solidarity and mutual support.

Using the theme of Currency to invite reflection on the contemporary power of the photograph to relay and relate meaning across distance, the Triennial of Photography Hamburg explores the value of photography in the 21st century. The extension of this economic term to art and visual culture allows for a sustained engagement with photography and its relationship to value-making, canon-making, access, circulation, and knowledge production. At a time when the production, distribution, and consumption of photographic images has become ubiquitous and we have learned to structure our contemporary world through a lens, the digital image has become the currency of exchange on social platforms. Fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, the Critical Reader Lucid Knowledge: The Currency of the Photographic Image gathers international perspectives that reflect on how photography shapes today's narratives, as well as our perception and experience of the world.With numerous photo exhibitions and events in Hamburg museums, exhibition venues, and galleries, the 8th edition of the TRIENNIAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY HAMBURG is a global survey of current developments in photography. A discursive forerunner to the exhibitions, the international symposium Lucid Knowldge: The Currency of the Photographic Image, which took place from September 30-October 2, 2021, initiated the critical exchange and reflections the Triennal aims to encourage.

On one of Spencer Ostrander's early visits to Times Square, the rain began to fall. The people in the crowd, suddenly draped in plastic, were transformed into abstract, brilliant reflections of the massive advertising that surrounded them. Designed to entrap the consumer with illusions of status, the good life, and happiness by product, the vast LED light boards turned visitors into walking ads for MTV, Coca-Cola, and The Lion King. And when the flickering LEDs hit his camera's sensor, they created streaks of color and lines that don't exist, but are part of the photos, a technical mirage that perfectly suits Ostrander's subject-the empty allure of late capitalism. Moving among the people with his camera, Ostrander began to see sorrow, tenderness, despair-a hidden story that starts to reveal itself in his photographs.SPENCER OSTRANDER (*1984, Seattle) has lived in New York City for the past two decades. He has done extensive work in all forms of photography and has recently completed two other book projects: Bloodbath Nation, with a long text on American gun violence by Paul Auster and Long Live King Kobe.

The photobook visually and materially contextualizes arrangements of photographs and brings them into a sensually tangible form. The book format, the materiality of the paper, and the type of binding have just as much of an effect on the viewer as the selection of images, their positioning in the layout, typography, and the texts. The artist and theorist Bettina Lockemann provides an approach to the medium from a research perspective: considering the photobook as an independent subject of art theories, her phenomenological discussion complements methodological lines of thought. An important contribution to the photobook as an independent field of research, Lockemann elaborates precise terms for analyzing this medium. Through a practice-based examination of contemporary photobooks, this guide emphasizes the status of the photobook as an artwork in its own right.BETTINA LOCKEMANN (*1971) is an artist and scholar specialized in artistic documentary photography. After studying art photography and media art in Leipzig and earning a PhD in art history at the ABK Stuttgart she was professor for practice and theory of photography at the HBK Braunschweig for five years. She lives in Cologne.

"The expansive blues of the water, lush greens of the vegetation, and bright shades of a rich and active cultural life make David Zurick's images in this collection a visual feast. His Polynesia photographs extol the marvels of a magnificent part of the globe and bring to light questions about the future of the islands. Tourism, resources, and politics all play key roles in oceanic society, as do the resiliency of traditional culture and the many generations of accumulated knowledge. The Polynesians face a daunting task: to look to the past for strength and wisdom but to the future for opportunities, and to do so without unduly sacrificing cultural heritages and natural settings. Zurick's imagery speaks for the globe at this important time, cautioning us to stay informed, witness the boundless beauty of our planet, and respect change that is inevitable while guarding against that which is destructive and exploitative"--

This is the second book of poetry by Pete Gage, blues musician and former vocalist with Dr Feelgood, following 'Fifty-Six Poems' published by Hobnob Press in 2021. It is a collection of a further 44 poems from the hundreds he has written over 60 years, complemented by an equal number of his owncolour photographs. Spread throughout the book are seven sections of a long poem dedicated to his great friend, the esteemed water-colourist David Evans, who was tragically killed in 1987 whilst cycling near his home in Suffolk. The 'Gerontius' in the title of each section is represented by David himself, who moves along his own spiritual journey in death, as in Elgar's 'The Dream of Gerontius'. The author lives in Frome, Somerset, where he is a well known and respected performer on the local musical scene.
