Alberto Sinigaglia 277398

Big Sky Hunting

Éditions du Lic, 2014. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 96. It must have been an instinctive reaction for an inquisitive soul such as inventor Samuel Morse to choose to portray the sky when he took the oldest known photograph of the moon at the dawn of photography in 1839. In following years, the observation of astronomical objects in locations that were favorable to viewing rare and spectacular phenomenon in our celestial sphere, such as eclipses, notably increased. Of those experiences, we have inherited peculiar accounts poised between the adventure novel and scientific discourse. What united the efforts of all the pioneers in the medium of photography was an unfailing belief in the infallibility of mimesis, understood as a tool to access new forms of knowledge. The last few decades have seen the perfection of similar celestial representations �"“ including visual mapping generated by impulse technology �"“ that has in part done away with the sense of mystery that envelops things we cannot wholly understand.The Big Sky Hunting cycle by Alberto Sinigaglia, on the contrary, goes against this reassuring subordination to reality. It challenges us to reconsider our definition of the concept of vision and our enduring attempts to overcome its intrinsic limits. The works narrate the cosmos through pretense, contradictions and reinterpretation, creating an imaginary idea where the observer goes beyond a purely �"œretinal�"� dimension of scrutiny. Therefore, the visual story enacted by the author lacks a predetermined expressive motif, combining shots of reality and existing images that he has appropriated, as well as objects with emblematic value that appear as readymades portrayed through photography. As a consequence, the distinction between reality and fiction looses significance in this investigative terrain, and instead opens the door to osmotic elements lined along a single path that lead to hybridization.

Dian Hanson 33101

The Big Butt Book. The Dawning of the Age of Ass

Taschen. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 366. Big Bouncy Butts. Putting the backside front and center. The Kama Sutra gives detailed instructions on how to spank it. Contemporary Italians touch it for luck before placing a bet. Americans are having it cosmetically enhanced at rates approaching breast enlargement surgery. The female butt, tush, culo, or derriere has always inspired awe, fantasy, and slavish devotion. Curiously, its primary purpose is functional rather than aesthetic: butts balance our bodies while running, according to biologists. But ask any pygophiliac - as fundament fans are clinically termed - and you'll get the same answer: female hindquarters exist to please the eye, the hands, and parts south. A pert posterior causes instant arousal, as Zora Neale Hurston observed in Their Eyes Were Watching God : 'The men noticed her firm buttocks like she had grape fruits in her hip pockets'. Or, as rapper Sir Mix-a-lot proclaimed, 'My anaconda don't want none, unless you've got buns, hun'. Having all but disappeared from western culture in the breast-obsessed second half of the 20th century, the fully formed fanny is currently enjoying a massive resurgence, attributed by some to American actress Jennifer Lopez, by others to the rise of booty-centric hip hop culture. Yet this rage for shapely butts is nothing new. The ancient Greeks worshipped at the temple of Aphrodite Kallipygos, Goddess of the Beautiful Buttocks, while a womanly rump has always been an object of worship in most of the southern hemisphere. The Big Butt Book explores this perennial fascination with female booty - from small and taut to large and sumptuous - in the fourth installment of Dian Hanson's critically acclaimed body parts series. Over 400 photos from 1900 to the present day are contextualized by interviews with porn icon John (Buttman) Stagliano, filmmaker Tinto Brass, artist Robert Crumb, bootylicious butt queens Buffie The Body, Coco and Brazil's Watermelon Woman, plus Eve Howard and her life-long spanking obsession.

Dian Hanson 33101

The Big Book of Legs

Taschen, 2009. Hardcover. Pp: 370. The female leg is an erotic oddity: non-genital, and nearly identical in structure to the male limb, there is no obvious reason why it should be eroticized. Yet through much of history, across many cultures, the female leg was kept covered and treated as taboo, until it became an object of sexual obsession. In Victorian times, the word 'leg' was forbidden in polite society, lest gentlemen be driven wild with lust. Even now, 80 years after women`s legs finally came out of hiding, their allure remains mysterious and powerful. ISBN: 9783836501880. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.

Colin Jones 12910

The Black House

Prestel, 2006. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 120. One of the most explosive photography projects of the 1970s was a series shot by Colin Jones for the London Sunday Times. The pictures record life at the Harambee Project, a hostel for troubled black youth in Holloway, north London, which became known to its residents as The Black House. Appearing for the first time in book form, these images are no less haunting today than they were nearly thirty years ago. In rich duotone, they capture the dignity and fierce beauty of a community shunned by society, and faced with a bleak future. "They were the hardest people Ive ever had to photograph," comments Jones on the assignment. "They trusted no one." The intimacy of these images belies that statement, for clearly the inhabitants of The Black House came to trust Jones. Narrated with an illuminating text from acclaimed novelist and writer Mike Phillips, The Black House is at once a searing portrait of social unrest and a powerful testament to the cameras eloquence.

Blanco

Fw:. Paperback. Pp: 36. Awoiska van der Molen has been producing monochrome landscape photography since 2009. 'Blanco' is the result of extended periods of isolation, during which the Dutch photographer penetrates deep into the essence of the remote world where she creates her images. Removed from today's fast-paced society, she patiently experiences the landscape in a new way, moving beyond initial appearances to gradually uncover the identity of the place, allowing it to impress upon her its specific emotional and physical qualities. Through enigmatic contrasts between darkness and light in her large-format silver gelatin prints, notions of time and self blur, becoming non-existent. ISBN: 9789490119485. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Morten Andersen 30358

Blue forest

Morten Andersen, 2009. Gekartonneerd. Pp: 254. ICP alumni Morten Andersen's photographs of the interiors of 17 different Norwegian forests. The images focus upon an area rather than an object - downed trees, webs of branches, carpets of moss and ferns. - Blå skog/Blue Forest is the manifestation of his long running forest project, the woods seen in glimpses and openings towards something bigger, captured on tungsten film and in medium format. Through subjective color tones Andersen lets us see the the forest in an un-romantizised and alien fashion which begets a renewed fascination by the landscape and a deeper understanding of what the Norwegian poet Sigbjørn Obstfelder hinted at with his line " how strange a place to be.".
