Tout Va Bien

Book Description
Swedish artist JH Engström is an inveterate bookmaker. Most recently, his published works have explored ideas of place and home, including Sketch of Paris (Aperture, 2013), La Résidence (2010), From Back Home (2009), and CDG/JHE (2008). After more than a decade of such thematic projects, Tout Va Bien returns to the looser, more associative approach of Engström's critically acclaimed volume Trying to Dance (2003). The source for these photographs is nevertheless strongly autobiographical, as well as vividly metaphorical; a reemphasis of the artist's belief in photography's potential as visual poetry. The sequencing is highly charged with contrasts: black-and-white images mix with color; the gentle beauty of coastal rocks clashes with a flash-lit image of the bright, blood-red placentas from the birth of his twins. The book leaves it to the viewer to map his or her own network of meaning from image to image, page to page. Tout Va Bien is designed and produced by Patric Leo, who also collaborated with the artist on Trying to Dance.

Book Description
"The photographers in SHOOT embrace the mundane image, imbuing it with an emotional impact that leaves a lasting impression." "SHOOT follows this photographic movement from its origins 25 years ago to its explosion in popularity today, beginning with the groundbreaking personal documentary work of Stephen Shore and Nan Goldin, through the incorporation of snapshot photography into fine art and fashion, to the current generation, from whom personal documentation is away of life. The photographers in SHOOT rely on their instincts, their engagement, and their "eye" to transform fleeting moments into powerful, dynamic images." "SHOOT includes a foreword by legendary photographer Stephen Shore, in addition to critical essays by professor Penny Martin, with a historical overview of the genre and aesthetic by Ken Miller. These essays link the work of influential photographers such as Nan Goldin, Wolfgang Tillmans, Juergen Teller, and Hiromix to a current generation of image-makers, including JH Engstrom, Tim Barber, Linus Bill, Jaimie Warren, and Dash Snow." --Book Jacket.

Pages : 132

Book Description
Born in the Australian steel city of Newcastle, one of TRENT PARKE?S only early childhood memories is accompanying his mother to pick his dad up from work, travelling through a landscape dominated by ship yards, chimneys, and the BHP steelworks. 00Throughout his career PARKE has always been interested in the transformative powers of light, but it was the ephemeral changing colours of dawn and dusk, the multitude or different reds that made him curious about the colour crimson. He discovered the colour that is used in commercial products is harvested from the crushed and boiled bodies of the female scale insect, the Cochineal. A tiny minute insect who inhabits the pads of the prickly pear cactus and who are farmed for their crimson dye. A dye now used primarily in cosmetics and food colouring. 00Scarlet, magenta, orange, and crimson, are the coloured dyes produced by the Cochineal and also seem to feature spectacularly in the colours of creation, as seen in an Eagle Nebula during the birth of a new star and recorded by the Hubble space telescope. These colours of birth and blood Parke also remembers from the bath water, the umbilical cord and placenta, at the birth of his sons.
