POSTURING

Featuring editorial work, it highlights how they use the body and its position to tell new stories in new ways. Through 58 photographs, as well as interviews with photographers, stylists, set designers and commissioning editors, Posturing explores the ways that the movement is changing how fashion is presented.

It is a style of photography that rejects the hyper-sexualised Posturing is a record of that change and this new movement, capturing the voices and visions of those most integral to creating it.

-What inspired me most is the how the colors bring sense of consistency to the book. It has two main colors, which are also appropriate to the concept:new movement, capturing the voices and visions of those most integral to creating it. It will be not that strong if applying too many colors, which will also lead to interruption. This makes me think of my work. I will simplify the use of color in order to make it strong enough to create a narrative.

A ROCK IS A RIVER BY MAYA ROCHAT

In the long tradition of artists’ books as artworks in their own right, Rochat understands the space of a publication as site-specific, and has conceived a series of works for the form of the publication, taking into account the possibilities of layout and printing experimentation. Drawing from the past two years of her photographic production, she revisits and interweaves images in various scales and rhythms to create an ongoing, unfolding collage in book form.

History Database BY LUKE STETTNER

Through hundreds of found and produced photographs, drawings, xeroxes and pictograms, the book investigates notions of mortality, the measurement of time (through the formation and erosion of both bodies and geology), and the technology and distribution of pictures. A treatise on cultural, corporeal and academic preservation and destruction, History Database prompts: what is left behind after bodies disappear?

-All the photos included are in a same colour and have the same sense, which bring continuity and consistency to the book. I like its cover, which is occupied by illustrations of human bodies. Although it's a "History Database", it is not as formal and serious as most history database because of the images he choose, the layouts of the pictures and the colors of the characters. I like the contrast created by blue and orange. Blue is kind of a calm and serious color, people would think it is a serious book when first seeing it. But as they open it, a slightly different message and characteristic are delivered by those "funny" pictures and layouts.

Image by Naohiro Utagawa

The surreal photo collages by the Japanese artist Naohiro Utagawa create psychological landscapes that are as fascinating and surreal, as much as they appear daunting and even violent at times.

-The primary source material for Utagawa are photographs which he cuts, tears, bends, crumbles and folds. I like how he reinterpreted the photographs and make them deliver a different messages.

What inspired me most is how the book has been made distribute the handmade sense of the content. He uses handwriting on the cover, which suggests a casual sense. For book binding, we can see the pages are not facing perfectly, and the spirals are obviously beyond the pages. The method of binding has successfully interpreted the messy, handmade feelings of the content.
