The venue was a former hospital designed in a classical style, the interior of which was entirely refurbished into a museum. The exhibition that took place in a variety of different settings inside the building was based on a plan that I had worked out according to my own ideas, presenting a hand-picked selection of photographs taken between 1964 and 2009. After the show, just for a brief moment, I couldn't help but feel something funny about it all.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy three-day schedule in Modena only allowed me to take some snaps along the way while commuting between the museum and my hotel in the old part of the city.

Once aware of the boorishness of my attempt to turn such a place into art with my camera, I found myself left with no other choice but to return to my daily snapshot routine.

I understood that these new surroundings would inform my work in very different ways and that nature would play a key role. I was looking forward to making work that did not feel restricted and suffocated by modern photographic technology nor would make an inaccurate projected impression of the natural landscape we had become part of. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn my many walks, I soon came to realise that this new, apparently bleak, flat and open landscape was in fact teeming with intense life. Small clues appeared during daylight hours that helped me understand the extent of activity during the night. Clusters of feathers, animal footprints of all sizes showing regular overlapping routes, gnawed branches, eggshells, ant hills, nibbled mushrooms and busy snails and slugs working through the feast provided from the previous night\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI started to imagine the creatures in absolute darkness on the forest floor driven by instincts and their will to survive. I imagined them encountering each other. I thought of their eyes – near redundant in the thick of the night – and their sense of smell and hearing finely tuned and heightened. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnvisaging where this activity might unfold, coupled with a hopeful foresight, I placed cameras equipped with motion sensors, to trees, mostly at a low level, so that any movement triggered the camera shutter and an infra-red flash (which was outside the animals’ visual spectrum). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first results filled me with fascination and joy as they presented what felt like stepping off into another parallel and unearthly world.  The silent photographs also seemed to invent sounds. This frame of mind and way of working took me back to my first ever photo project at the age of 13, sitting in the bathroom window of my parents’ house in Bristol with a 10-metre cable release, attached to the camera, attempting to photograph garden birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs time went on I started to think, if I were a deer where would I drink from, or if an owl where would I prefer to perch, and positioned cameras in such places. I was already composing the rectangular view in my mind’s eye – even though the nocturnal animals were absent – imagining they were there.  Nature itself helped to decide the palette and the feel of the images as plant pigments were incorporated from the surrounding areas to make the final master prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI had grappled for many years with this idea of stepping back as the author of images to give space for chance and to encourage the subject to step forward. I had attempted this in various ways; for example, in 2005, by burying colour prints close to where they were made, as a collaboration, to entice the place itself to leave its physical mark on the images once they had been unearthed. Or, between 2009 - 2013, in the series \u003cem\u003eTalking to Ants\u003c\/em\u003e, I placed objects such as plant life, insects, seeds and dust from the place I was photographing inside the film chamber to create in-camera photograms creating a confusion of scale. Or, in 2012, in \u003cem\u003eBest Before End\u003c\/em\u003e, as a photographic response to the rise of high-energy drinks, I used the drinks themselves to part-process the film as they ate into the emulsion. These approaches added an element of uncertainty, without knowing exactly where the images would land, and relied on a point where intentions met chance with the hope that the subject itself could play a part, lead the way or become embedded in the finished images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis time, though, it felt as if I was stepping out altogether, so that the subjects would orchestrate and perform and take on the role of author while at that moment I was likely to be sleeping.

Garry photographed her before on the set of John Huston’s movie, Annie. She and her boyfriend were dressed in identical jeans and jackets. Strikingly, they both had the same drooping, poodle-like hairstyle. Surprised, she threw her head back and shrieked with delight when Garry swooped in to take their picture.

I eventually spent one of the five days I stayed in Paris devoting myself to shooting.

I bothered Ms. Kazue Kuramochi, an acquaintance of mine who was based in Paris, and asked her to help me find a place. I did find one, but for a variety of reasons my dream of a gallery didn’t become reality, and I ended up spending my days roaming the streets instead. I didn’t speak any French to begin with, only some broken English, and I obviously didn’t have any friends in the city. So there I was, a guy who had just turned 50, totally bewildered, and with nothing else to do than keep pressing the shutter button of my camera.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever in retrospect, even though there are a few things that I do regret, in the long run I think it was just fine that way.

At the moment Turkey is at a political crossroads itself, a crossroads that will define the very nature and future role of the country. With a large, dynamic and young population there is always hope that a truly democratic and liberal country will emerge, and Turkey will be able to truly fulfil the role of a bridge between culture and religions. It is the very process of this modernization, urbanization and national identity, happening at breakneck speed, against a backdrop of rising nationalism and religion, which Georgious work seeks to address and question. He has chosen to represent this in an undramatic way, focusing on the very quiet everyday life that most people in Turkey experience. Having spent nearly five years living in Turkey, George Georgiou was surprised at how quickly change is taking place; landscapes, towns and cities are being reshaped, an extensive road network is being built, town centres are being beautified and large apartment blocks are springing up at a rapid rate around every town and city throughout Turkey. Almost always, the architecture and infrastructure have the same blueprint. Cities are beginning to become carbon copies of each other. One of the most immediate consequences is the rapid disintegration of community that is so familiar in Turkish villages and towns. Another issue is that the cosmopolitan urban centres, particularly Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa, and the coastal towns of the South and West, have traditionally been the home of Ataturks children, the upholders of secular Turkey. With the influx of a more provincial, traditional, conservative and religious population into the cities, a new tension is beginning to rear its head. This is in part seen in the clash between the mildly religious Government of the AKP, whose support comes from the countryside and the new urban population, and the old secular parties of both left and right, who oppose all reforms instigated by the Government on secular and nationalist grounds. Added to all this is a highly politicized and powerful military, the self-declared guardians of the republic, and the all-imposing image and philosophy of Turkeys founding father, Mustafa Ataturk. Fault Lines provides us with a fascinating look into the new Turkey that is starting to take shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSigned copy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Georgiou","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36399752478885,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/4583\/2067\/products\/Screenshot2021-10-09at12.40.05.png?v=1633779673"},{"product_id":"traces-within-signed","title":"Traces Within (signed)","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSelf-published 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoftcover, 1st edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNear fine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"She told me she was the daughter of a farmer from an Island I visited a long time ago.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSometimes meetings are short, intense, sometimes they last a lifetime.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is it to be invited into a diary, to be offered a key to unlock what lies within?

Denied official permission to make the work, Graham’s photographs were taken discreetly, usually without looking through the camera, resulting in a spatial disorientation that emphasised the unmoored distress of vulnerable citizens. The work shocked many on its release – leading Magnum photographers were outraged by its use of colour in a classic documentary topic, while others celebrated how it straddled the world of activism and art (it was exhibited at both Trade Union conferences and the Museum of Modern Art, New York). Graham forged a fresh form of engaged photography, mixing elements of social documentary, ‘new colour’ and reportage to create a striking body of work that endures to this day. Many decades have passed since their making in 1984, but these images have grown not only in photographic importance, but also as a unique historic record of the mid-1980s unemployment crisis in the UK.

Stifled by the mounting pressures posed by an increasingly oppressive education system and home life, these youths sought out their own identities on the streets of Tokyo—a lost tribe desperate for self-expression, repelled by a society that sang the praises of abundant riches and stability. Turning his lens on the global stage, Hashiguchi traveled through Liverpool, London, Nuremberg, West Berlin, and New York in a quest to further chronicle communities of disenfranchised youths abroad. In these five cities, Hashiguchi witnessed the complex cocktail of self-destructive discord lurking beneath the superficial excesses of city life. Revealing the entrenched drug addiction, racism, anti-immigrant sentiment, unemployment, and poverty that pervaded urban centers then as now, Hashiguchi’s photos challenge the viewer to reexamine what we have both become and lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe complexities of youth have served as a captivating theme throughout the annals of photographic history. Photographers such as Danny Lyon, Bruce Davidson and Larry Clark made masterpieces with their investigations into the subcultures of renegade bikers, street gangs, and rebellious adolescents teetering on the dramatic cusp of adulthood. However, Hashiguchi is distinguished by a uniquely unwavering dedication to this theme. The sheer breadth of his travels in Tokyo and the West alike, coupled with a rapt intensity for documenting the “troubled youth” of the 1980s, evinces a scale and specificity rarely attempted and arguably even unrivalled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince its initial publication in 1982, We Have No Place to Be has influenced generations of artists and photographers in Japan.

Initiated by the Royal Tropical Institute of Amsterdam, the trip was intended to “explore the changing patterns in architecture and symbolism among the Sa‘dan Toraja”. On the way back from Rantepao to Ujung Pandang airport, Schulz-Dornburg passed the distinctive houses of the Bugis or To-Ugiq people, perched on the yellow paddy fields. Fascinated by their complex, expressive architectures, she began to photograph the houses in the short time she had before leaving, realising that the structures would likely not exist in their traditional form for much longer. The result is a body of work that not only surveys the houses’ physical forms but also considers wide-ranging ideas of physical and emotional homebuilding and the precarious place of tradition in the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoised between heaven and earth and standing above the water when the rice fields are flooded, the Bugis houses reflect the creation myth of their people, in which the gods of the upper and lower worlds came together to create man to populate the uninhabited middle world.

It was already after 8 PM when I arrived in the ”Wakamatsu Market” entertainment district behind Yokosuka Chuo Station on the Keihin Line, but due to the ongoing pandemic, the lights of the normally crowded shops were all switched off. The streets at night had turned into a bleak, dimly lit place, with the usual drunken crowd nowhere in sight. I eventually held my camera into the darkness and shot a dozen or so pictures, while walking quite naturally down the main street toward the “Dobuita-dori” district.

Taken from 2008-present, these images—taken in various locations around the world—are a deeply personal reflection of the artist’s emotions, photography being a cathartic means of coming to terms with her constant desire to move. As someone who has always led a semi-nomadic lifestyle, McCauley seeks to explore the idea of not belonging.

Just as she is drawn to movement, it is these liminal spaces that the artist gravitates towards – the chaos, the stillness, and the magic in between. “The work comes from reality, but it’s a reality that’s distorted by subjectivity,” says McCauley. “It’s an expression of my state of mind during these restless off-moments.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecial edition of 25 signed copies, with a signed and numbered A4 print on Hahnemühle William Turner textured paper.  See the alternative special edition available \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/photobookstore.co.uk\/collections\/vendors?q=Alison%20McCauley\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehere\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLast 5 copies.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alison McCauley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42059227824377,"sku":"","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/4583\/2067\/products\/AM-Listing-19.jpg?v=1637072008"},{"product_id":"da-gorizia-alle-ande-signed","title":"Da Gorizia alle Ande (signed)","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003estudiofaganel 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardback, 1st edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'Da Gorizia alle Ande' is Paolo Gasparini's art book published by studiofaganel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs in his photobooks, 'Da Gorizia alle Ande' is also a confluence of 'images, graphics, the intersection of poetic visions, the work of translation and typographic printing’, as Gasparini calls it.
