[View this email in your browser]( [photo-eye] PHOTOBOOK WEEKLY February 17, 2024 BESTSELLER --------------------------------------------------------------- Here and Now Rinko Kawauchi Here and Now combines poems by Shuntaro Tanikawa and photographs by Rinko Kawauchi. The photobook was composed by Kawauchi in such a way so the words and images closely correspond with one another, while the words themselves are woven into the rhythm of the pages designed by art director Hideyuki Saito. The title poem, Here and Now, is accompanied by fresh photographs of nature’s breath, gently coaxing the reader on an imaginative journey into the universe and beyond.

Photographed in the higher elevations of these different mountain ranges, the subjects are stark and desolate, at once forbidding, alien, and sublime. The sweeping, panoramic vistas of peaks, snowy landscapes, and rock-strewn slopes fill page after page, a formidable portrait of the grandiose power and limitless scale of geological time. With graphic design by Julien Hourcade. [Pre-Order NIVAL or read more]( INTERVIEW --------------------------------------------------------------- Los Angeles Spring Robert Adams Reviewed by Blake Andrews "The first thing to know about Los Angeles Spring is that it contains no actual photographs of Los Angeles. Instead, its pictures explore the city’s far eastern outskirts along Interstate 10, the freeway to Palm Springs. It’s a relatively season-less place, and a more accurate name for the book might be "I-10 Springs." A few highway onramps appear in the book, but there is no city of angels, nor much of anything else heavenly..." — Blake Andrews [Read the full review]( [Order copies of Los Angeles Spring]( ARRIVING SOON --------------------------------------------------------------- Pig Feng Li Pig reveals a more intimate and sensitive aspect of Feng Li’s work, chronicling his pig’s journey as it grows into an adult. Here the photographer shares images of he and his wife’s expanded family, which at one time consisted of three cats, a parrot, and a pig that had been abandoned by its previous owner, all living together in one house. Full of kindness, humour, contentment, and of course animal antics, the pictures reveal the close relationship that developed between the pig and its human caretakers.

Where petroglyphs are now, there used to be presumably sacred sites. Today, petroglyphs are often found in the patios of houses. Here, petroglyphs are combined with contemporary graffiti and love messages. They are in places where no one cares about them...

The popular tourist destination Italia in Miniatura presents scale models of Italy’s major natural and architectural landmarks, brought together in surreal proximity. Ghirri photographed this fabricated world with a characteristic sensitivity for visual coincidence and irony, illusion and reality, ambiguity and artifice.

Photographed on film, the images are treated with unusual substances that corrode and accentuate their fluid surface.
