20.01.2022 #Repost @vopmagazine - cant wait to see this issue!!! New issue out now! Voices of Photography ... Issue 28 : The Okinawa Issue bio The Okinawa issue features Machida Megumi and Hsu Fang-Tze, both imagery researchers and curators, as our guest editors. This issue adopts a dual reading and editing process; a combination of essays and interviews brings readers through the complicated colonial history and the burden of empiricism on the island, taking a critical view of Okinawas imagery, and Okinawa as an imagined object while it struggled against hegemony. In this issue, we take a look at the layered composition of the life experiences and photography by Okinawan imagery practitioners Kuniyoshi Kazuo, Ishikawa Mao, Higa Toyomitsu and Ishikawa Ryuichi, as well as the complicated political consciousness that is birthed from this interaction. We also move our focus from the question of how to represent to how to construct the background of Okinawa and its history through the essays by Nakazato Isao, Okamoto Yukiko, Nakasone Kaori and Inoue Mayumo. Through such a redirection of focus, we see the need for a careful analysis as it shows us that imagery is not only generated from colonization, but also feeds back into the issue.

20.01.2022 Brand new from @yurienagashima & @dashwood_books !! _________ Self-Portraits by Yurie Nagashima published by Dashwood Books charts the life of this major Japanese figure over a period of 24 years from 1992-2016 - from brazen young artist to a tender portrayal of pregnancy and motherhood. As @marigoldwarner writes in her interview with Nagashima for the @bjp1854 - Reductively labelled a girl photographer in the 90s, Nagashima is now a leading voice in feminist photog...raphic discourse. The publication includes a conversation with @aperturefnd s @la.martin_ , in which the curator and photographer engage in a discussion about the power of self-portraiture as a radical feminist gesture, and the shifting nature of photography and its aesthetic criterion. In this book, I sequenced the images chronologically, so you can see the change. My personal interests also changed, and aging, too, is just another cause. Book design by @charlottedemezamat, Interview by Lesley A. Martin, translation by Akiko Ichikawa. Dashwood Books, 2020. Softcover.

16.01.2022 Picked up the new publication from @rimbooks: and then there were none, 2020. Featuring the work of @harvey.benge #JonCarapiet #HaruSameshima @stusontierphoto & words by #LloydJones. A collaborative book by four New Zealand-based photographers and one writer, breaks out of conventional story-telling to play out their anxieties and doubts about the world they see. This book also feels like one last fitting goodbye to Harvey Benge from a group of his friends and collaborators. Excerpt ... It is whatever it was. But now it lives within a frame. Where someones eye has come to rest. #rimbooks #aotearoa #newzealand #auckland #photobooks #harveybenge #photobook #newzealandphotobook

15.01.2022 Looking forward to getting a copy of this, ‘Freezing Land’ by @chenronghuiphoto . Published by the always excellent @jiazazhi Format: 240 x 310 mm; Binding: Papercover; Published September 2020. -There are 71 photographs in the book, accompanied one short novel and one essay. Two covers are available. - We’re used to thinking of Chinese cities in the context of growth, but the country’s northeast region is an exception. Bordering Russia and North Korea, the region..., with ample natural resources, was the first to develop heavy industries in the 1960s and prospered for decades. There were 15 million immigrants to northeastern China in the Mao’s era. But since the 2000s, the northeast has become China’s most recessionary land as resources dwindled and other regions caught up. Dying industries and shortages of opportunities have been forcing people out of their home and to other parts of China in pursuit of work. My project, Freezing Land, aims to explore descendants of immigrants living in the northeast. Meanwhile, China started a campaign called the Chinese Dream. But what does this mean to the the once prosperous land? What’s the story of today’s northeastern China? It is difficult to encounter subjects on the street in an environment of minus 30 degrees centigrade. Therefore, I used social video app, Kuai shou, looking for young people who were willing to share their stories. The young people I met were experiencing a sense of uncertainty. They were facing a choice to leave for challenges in bigger cities, or stay behind and embrace their fate. Their voices were sparsely documented by Chinese media or through other mediums. Few people knew about their stories, colorful, yet full of loneliness. I also photographed the derelict landscape places that are once lively but now forgotten. During this process, the emotion expressed by these young people a mixed sense of hesitation, loneliness, and hope has brought me resonance.

14.01.2022 2020 photobook of the year already decided!!! Totally in love with this new publication from Xiaoxiao Xu Watering my horse by a spring at the foot of the Long Wall. Published by The @eriskayconnection https://xiaoxiaoxu.com//watering-my-horse-by-a-spring-at-/ For Watering My Horse, Xiaoxiao Xu (CN/NL) followed the lives of the people along the foot of the Great Wall of China, a road trip of 25,000 kilometers. Contrary to what many people think, the Chinese wall i...s not a single continuous construction, but rather a collection of walls and towers built during various Chinese dynasties. Xu follows the section of the wall from the Ming dynasty and takes us to the ruins of the older parts. Despite the decline, there is a lively relationship with the wall among the local population that honour and protect the wall. Xu tried to discover the impact of fast-growing China on this historic site. What does the wall reflect today? Which elements have disappeared and which remnants have survived? She discovered that the villages at the foot of the Great Wall are some of the last places where people still live according to old traditions, but here too, these are gradually disappearing. Her work focuses on the visual transformation of this process. From place to place she tries to catch a glimpse of the past. The book contains an essay by Maria-Caterina Bellinetti (US). She is a writer and art historian specialized in photography, Chinese visual culture, and propaganda. In her essay she writes about the wall as a symbol and connections the work of Xiaoxiao to the history of the wall. 112 pages Softcover Format: 240 mm x 340 mm Publication year: 2020 Edition: 1000 Essay: Maria-Caterina Bellinetti Design: Rob van Hoesel ISBN: 978-94-92051-48-6 Publisher: The Eriskay Connection

Its latest release is Tragdie, Concidence et La Double Vie de L.L.D.M by Zhen Shi herself, and charts the repercussions of a chain of events following her discovery of a 19th century diary in a flea market in the Marolles district of Brussels in 2015. The proliferation of photographic projects, particularly photobooks, utilising archival and found material as a way to re-view the past has been significant in recent year. This particular journey is kept intriguing and fresh by Zhen Shis ability to interweave her own story with that of her subject, the owner of the diary, a woman known only by her initials L.L.D.M." @dboetkers in issue 32 of 1000 Words: 1000wordsmag.com/zhen-shi See more

10.01.2022 Congrats to @satoshitsuchiyama, just announced as the winner of the @landskronafoto & Breadfield Dummy Award 2020. Repost @landskronafoto - We are delighted to announce the winner of Landskrona Foto & Breadfield Dummy Award 2020: Heat of Sand by Satoshi Tsuchiyama. Motivation: ... This is a story that is anything but black and white. In Heat of Sand there is a feeling of humans reckoning with an existential threat through a physicality that only humans are capable of. It gives the sense that humans must adapt when faced with the complexities of our world; conflict and terror, environmental or political threats. Rather than giving up or escaping in fear, the nature of people is to seek ways to persist and to survive. We thank all the amazing applicants and the jury: Nina Strand, Tiffany Jones, Eamonn Doyle, Remi Faucheux and Jenny Lindhe. @strandfotos @eamonn.doyle.d1 @lindhe_jenny @jennynordquist Read more about Satoshis project on landskronafoto.org @satoshitsuchiyama @breadfield #dummyaward #landskronafoto #breadfield #satoshitsuchiyama #heatofsand #photobookdays

07.01.2022 @vopmagazine ahead of the game as always - amazing publication!! #Repost @vopmagazine New release! ... Voices of Photography Issue 29 : History of the Photographed: Taiwan as an Image More info Link in bio As we continue on the topic of the history of photography, we turn to our own photography experiences in this issue our history of being photographed. It takes root in Taiwan’s colonial history, from the collection of anthropological surveys in the 19th century, to the acts of violence at the defence lines as they pushed on during the Japanese colonial era in the early 20th century, as well as the exhibition of the Taiwanese imagery and ethnicity at various expositions held during the Japanese colonial rule. These form the beginnings of a systematic effort to visualize Taiwan. How did we become the photographed, a scientific specimen, a totemic image? How did we become visually part of (or excluded from) the rectification process of nationality and culture, that continues to trouble us till now? The veiled history of such an image the history of being photographed guides the beginning of our journey of looking back at the history of photography. With this, we attempt to cross-examine history and think through the control and disposition that led us into becoming an imagery and going into the history of photography, hoping to break free from the existing framework of the history of the photograph(er) and enlighten our awareness of the history of the photographed. We reckon this could allow us to discover the historical heritage of photography that is even more important to us and generate our very own alternative view of the history of photography. See more

His Beijing Silvermine archive, one of the largest archival projects in China, now encompasses over 850,000 anonymous photographs spanning the period from 1985 to 2005, thus allowing the reconstruction of a large part of the history of popular analogue photography in the country.

06.01.2022 Looking forward to getting a copy of this, Freezing Land by @chenronghuiphoto . Published by the always excellent @jiazazhi Format: 240 x 310 mm; Binding: Papercover; Published September 2020. -There are 71 photographs in the book, accompanied one short novel and one essay. Two covers are available. - Were used to thinking of Chinese cities in the context of growth, but the countrys northeast region is an exception. Bordering Russia and North Korea, the region..., with ample natural resources, was the first to develop heavy industries in the 1960s and prospered for decades. There were 15 million immigrants to northeastern China in the Maos era. But since the 2000s, the northeast has become Chinas most recessionary land as resources dwindled and other regions caught up. Dying industries and shortages of opportunities have been forcing people out of their home and to other parts of China in pursuit of work. My project, Freezing Land, aims to explore descendants of immigrants living in the northeast. Meanwhile, China started a campaign called the Chinese Dream. But what does this mean to the the once prosperous land? Whats the story of todays northeastern China? It is difficult to encounter subjects on the street in an environment of minus 30 degrees centigrade. Therefore, I used social video app, Kuai shou, looking for young people who were willing to share their stories. The young people I met were experiencing a sense of uncertainty. They were facing a choice to leave for challenges in bigger cities, or stay behind and embrace their fate. Their voices were sparsely documented by Chinese media or through other mediums. Few people knew about their stories, colorful, yet full of loneliness. I also photographed the derelict landscape places that are once lively but now forgotten. During this process, the emotion expressed by these young people a mixed sense of hesitation, loneliness, and hope has brought me resonance.

For Marta, a survivor of assault, Apolinars support was part of her process of healing when there were no structures for support for more than seven decades since she was assaulted during a mass rape that took place in World War II. Im sharing some work from my story Roots from Ashes, that @worldpressphoto has posted on their Instagram feed, following our time in Amsterdam for the #joopswartmasterclass. Together with the image that they are sharing, Ill also share some of my visual notes for the project behind each photograph in the Instagram carousel. Here, Im posting an example of a clipping of how the women were portrayed in mass media when they came out with their story. Im asking myself how I portray the complexity that comes with survival and healing, without playing down the severity of the trauma we carry.

01.01.2022 @thomas_sauvins Great Leaps Forward @beijing_silvermine - Great Leaps Forward unveils a series of photos drawn from a plastic bag bought in a Beijing flea market in 2016. Sealed tightly with a knot, the bag had settled there unnoticed for many decades. Upon opening the bag, over 300 photos were discovered, taken by an anonymous member of the Xian Physical Education Universitys department of Photography. All the images, meticulously depicting various athletes in ...action, often defying gravity, were shot on the same field during a bright day of June 1960. To date, these images are the only photographic record that collector and artist Thomas Sauvin found from the time of The Great Leap Forward (1958-1962). During these years, a chaotic industrialization campaign meant to transform China from an agrarian economy to a new communist regime rooted in industry and large-scale agricultural production led to the deadliest famine of human history. Any photographic documentation from these years remains extremely rare. In this posthumous collaboration with an anonymous photographer, this publication invites us to contemplate a strangely metaphorical aerial ballet on the margins of history. - Dimensions: 17 x 33 cm 128 pages; Text in English and Chinese; Publication date:November 2019; Published by Silvermine; In a first edition of 750; Design: Julia; Printed by Maestro-Grafiche Antiga ISBN: 978-2-9570118-0-3. also go read the great review of this book by @lachowsk at @americansuburbx #thomassauvin #beijingsilvermine #photobook #greatleapsforward
