[View this email in your browser]( [photo-eye] PHOTOBOOK WEEKLY October 7, 2023 BESTSELLER --------------------------------------------------------------- Insieme Irina Rozovsky & Mark Steinmetz Signed copies available! In 2021, Irina Rozovsky and Mark Steinmetz were invited to take part in two photographic projects in Italy, one in Castelfranco Veneto (the Veneto region) and the other in Lecce (Puglia). This book compiles a selection of the artists’ photographs of these two Italian regions so far apart from one another. These are places where nature reveals itself through different forms of expression and where the relationship between body and space, captured in a combination of light and shade, seems to take on an inconsistent and sometimes absolute value.

I felt as though I was drowning. I went out to the levee on the Mississippi River by my mother's house and walked with my camera. That was when I began to see the world around me in a different way. I have looked through a camera most of my life but now I could see a quietness, a slowness to the point of being frozen in time. The end and beginning of all things became the same. I felt sanctuary in that feeling. I didn't want to lose this new stasis-like place. So I practiced staying there by photographing what it showed me...” — Adrianna Ault [Pre-Order Levee or read more]( What's Ours Myriam Boulos In her debut monograph, Myriam Boulos casts an unflinching eye on the revolution that began in Lebanon in 2019 with protests against government corruption and austerity — culminating with the aftermath of the devastating Beirut port explosion of August 2020. She portrays her friends and family with startling energy and intimacy, in states of pleasure and protest. Boulos renders the body in public space as a powerful motif, both visceral and vulnerable in the face of state neglect and violence.

(And, of course, the inverse: things that automatically raise eyebrows or make them cranky when in photographic form.) It is useful to know what makes us let down, or put up, our guard, what makes us instantly melt or bristle. My own bright-copper-kettle pleasure points are as follows: clocks, owls, negatives, shadowy enigma, pointed anonymity, archival deep dives, dead birds, tools in deadpan still life, reworked narratives where truth is slippery, and fictions enticing. This partial list was generated while in the thrall of Ronit Porat’s Hunting in Time — as if this book wrote this list for me, reminding me of each and then sequentially checking the boxes." — Meggan Gould [Read the full review]( [Order Hunting In Time or read more]( RECENTLY FEATURED --------------------------------------------------------------- Leaving and Waving Deanna Dikeman Sol & Luna Viviane Sassen Until Death Do Us Part Thomas Sauvin Book of Stacks, Stack of Books Jared Bark Piemonte Josef Koudelka Haunted Air Ossian Brown The Day I Was Born Eugene Richards I Am Warning You Rafal Milach Signed copies!
