Made in Sardinia on two trips separated by forty years, the two books not only mark the stylistic development in the work of Guidi but also the historical shifts and changes on the remote island. The first trip was on Guidi’s honeymoon in 1974, and with a Nikon F and a FIAT 127 he made a series of black and white photographs which reflect the social and political climate of Sardinia in the post-sixties era. The second visit, in 2011, involved 3 cameras – a Hasselblad, a Deardorff 8x10 and a digital Canon – and the now well-known Guidi palette of tender, almost resigned colour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33771003216005,"sku":"","price":70.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/9781912339594.jpg?v=1642033383"},{"product_id":"the-land-in-between","title":"The land in between","description":"\u003cp\u003eUrsula Schulz-Dornburg documente les traces de l'humain dans le paysage.

In 1978 Luigi Ghirri self-published his first book, an avant-garde manifesto for the medium of photography and a landmark in his own remarkable oeuvre. Kodachrome has long been out of print and on the 20th anniversary of Ghirri’s death, MACK is proud to publish the second edition.‘Ghirri fights to maintain our ability to see. His works are powerful devices for the re-education of the gaze. They alter the perception we have of the world without proposing a single path to follow, rather they provide us with the tools we need to find the one we’re looking for.’Francesco Zanot\nPart amateur photo-album, Ghirri presents his surroundings in tightly cropped images, making photographs of photographs and recording the Italian landscape through it’s adverts, postcards, potted plants, walls, windows, and people. His work is deadpan, reflecting a dry wit, and is a continuous engagement with the subject of reality and of landscape as a snapshot of our interaction with the world.\nThis new edition of Kodachrome is published as a facsimile of the original, adopting the original design, text layout and image sequence, but using new image files scanned from Ghirri’s original film to take advantage of modern technology and printing methods. A small booklet is included with an essay by Francesco Zanot, which offers a contemporary perspective on the historical impact of Kodachrome, alongside French and German translations of the original texts from the book (which were published in English and Italian).\n‘The daily encounter with reality, the fictions, the surrogates, the ambiguous, poetic or alienating aspects, all seem to preclude any way out of the labyrinth, the walls of which are ever more illusory… to the point at which we might merge with them… The meaning that I am trying to render through my work is a verification of how it is still possible to desire and face a path of knowledge, to be able finally to distinguish the precise identity of man, things, life, from the image of man, things, and life.’ Luigi Ghirri\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33771008032901,"sku":"","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/cover109_860x_fa019743-3e8d-4289-811b-8971a347c8b0.jpg?v=1654167778"},{"product_id":"trasparencies","title":"Trasparencies.

Il volume fu prodotto in occasione della mostra alla galleria Nadar di Pisa nel 1974. Piante di tutte le forme e dimensioni si alternano in una sequenza dove Ghirri vuole raccontare il rapporto tra la natura e gli spazi urbani, in particolare quella visione dimessa del quotidiano, dei cortili e delle case tipiche della prima periferia. Quello che gli interessava era la congiunzione tra natura e artificio in un ambiente creato interamente dall’uomo.

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.

The bodies of her subjects bear all-too physical traces of conflict and aggressive foreign policy: two Cambodian teenagers who have lost their legs to landmines while gathering wood near their homes; victims of Agent Orange, a weapon of chemical warfare that continues to affect children born long after the end of the Vietnam war; a survivor of Hiroshima who reminds us of the abundant accumulation of nuclear bombs throughout the world today.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCollected here, Solomon’s compassionate images pay tribute while bearing unflinching witness to those people around the world whose bodies have become sites of conflict and stand as permanent memorials to the merciless pursuit of power.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eEmbossed hardback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e24 x 28cm, 160 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-913620-47-9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOctober 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127521939680,"sku":"","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/cover624_860x_5c484299-26a0-4f87-a239-c37b4f38f5aa.jpg?v=1642033980"},{"product_id":"a-civil-rights-journey-doris-derby","title":"A Civil Rights Journey - Doris Derby","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe story behind Derby’s wonderful, intimate pictures is enmeshed with the rest of her extraordinary life … Her experience also provides a revealing snapshot of the rupture that America went through in the 1960s and 70s\u003c\/strong\u003e.” \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– The Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMany of [Derby’s] photographs from this time feel very joyful – full of positive energy and activity – or otherwise depict everyday scenes, quite removed from the Civil Rights protests and all the violence the black community was experiencing\u003c\/strong\u003e” \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– \u003c\/em\u003eApollo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDerby’s photographs capture small, private moments but carry the weight of the momentous groundswell of change for a people who wanted and deserved better.\u003c\/strong\u003e” \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– Storied\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Civil Rights Journey\u003c\/em\u003e presents the astonishing archive of Dr Doris Derby: photographer, activist, and professor of anthropology.

Named by the Portuguese in their ‘Age of Discovery’, the Cape’s position at the mid-point along the ‘Spice Route’ was viewed with great optimism for its potential to open up a valuable maritime passageway. The ‘refreshment station’ later established there set into motion flows of capital from ‘east’ to ‘west’. Good Hope brings together cumulative layers of documentary prose, personal essay, and found photographic material, along with sources ranging from apartheid-era trade journals, tourist pamphlets, and National Geographic and Life magazines, to contemporary newspapers and family albums. It offers both an intimate and critical examination of White supremacist settler-colonialism in the present, and a questioning of the ethics and politics involved in the very acts of looking, discovering, collecting, codifying, preserving, naming, knowing, and putting to language.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#ff2a00\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOTA bound paperback with flaps\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e15. 3 x 20.3cm, 192 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-913620-42-4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOctober 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127531737312,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/cover648_860x_97149189-27b0-46a9-ad1e-b9264319f580.jpg?v=1642033262"},{"product_id":"white-shoes-nona-faustine","title":"White Shoes - Nona Faustine","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNona Faustine confronts ...

The quintessential American melting pot that stretched like a panorama in this equalising space was a visible reality.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRozovsky’s colour photographs capture the interplay between city and nature, creating a vision of the park as a democratic and nurturing public space, one where the landscape and seasons form a protean backdrop to a complex social reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmbossed hardback\u003cbr\u003e24 x 28.5cm, 96 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarch 2021\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE SIGNED EDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe signed edition includes an extra image plate signed by the artist and \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eglued into\u003c\/span\u003e the inside back cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42135353458912,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/cover461_860x_40f716da-f805-4b9c-a6b9-0533eeefca10.jpg?v=1642033376"},{"product_id":"the-canary-and-the-hammer-lisa-barnard","title":"The Canary and The Hammer - Lisa Barnard","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"An ambitious, far-reaching project\"\u003c\/strong\u003e – Diane Smythe, \u003cem\u003eBritish Journal of Photography\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Intensely political work\"\u003c\/strong\u003e – Anjili Raval, Senior Energy Correspondent, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Financial Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"At once captivating and extraordinarily complex\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Washington Post\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePhotographed across four years and four continents,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Canary and The Hammer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edetails our reverence for gold and its role in humanity’s ruthless pursuit of progress.

Depicting a sprawling array of subjects — from Buddhist statues and birdwatchers to sun-seekers and busts of Abe Lincoln — this book reflects on the photographic desire to pin down and crystallise experience, especially as it is represented and recollected by printed images. Throughout this eclectic sequence are the recurring presences of iconography, of souvenirs and mementos, and of the image-makers that surround us day to day. Forming a winding, ruminative road trip, Soth’s photographs are followed by his own notes and reflections in an extended afterword. ‘If the pictures in this book are about anything other than their shimmering surfaces,’ he writes, ‘they are about the process of their own making. They are about going into the ecstatically specific world and creating a connection between the ephemeral (light, time) and the physical (eyeballs, film).’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach book contains five randomised replica vernacular photographs loosely inserted within the pages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCoincides with solo exhibitions at Sean Kelly Gallery, New York (opening 13 January), Weinstein Hammons Gallery, Minneapolis (28 January), and Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco (3 February).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEmbossed linen hardcover with front and back tip-in\u003cbr\u003eThree different papers, including a marbled Japanese stock and five randomised replica vernacular photographs\u003cbr\u003e25.3 x 31 cm, 156 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE SIGNED EDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe signed edition includes a slip signed by the artist and bound into the inside back cover.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eISBN 978-1-913620-11-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJanuary 2022\u003cbr\u003e€70 £55 $75\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42407713145056,"sku":"","price":300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/alecsothapound.jpg?v=1644048115"},{"product_id":"an-attic-full-of-trains","title":"An attic full of trains - Alberto di Lenardo, Carlotta di Lenardo","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt the top of Carlotta di Lenardo grandparents’ house in Italy there is a room which houses the library.

A first visit in 1982 introduced Ghirri to Puglia’s whitewashed streets, luminescent nights, doorways and arches, potted cacti, funfairs, and beaches, as well as a group of artists, critics, and curators who would become his close friends and collaborators. Over the following decade, Ghirri returned to the area almost every year, photographing, exhibiting, and deepening his understanding of its subtle terrain. These photographs, almost all of which are little-known and previously unpublished, capture the textures and rhythms of urban life, delighting in visual coincidence and tactile detail. Their sense of quiet discovery — and the colour film on which they are shot — allude warmly to the area’s identity as a popular holiday destination.

In this highly personal collection of work, Dugan brings together self-portraits, portraits of individuals and couples, and still lifes, interwoven with diaristic writings reflecting on relationships, solitude, family, loss, healing, and the transformations that define a life. Dugan has long used photography to understand their own identity and to connect with others on a deeper level.

The sponsoring organization was the Mayan writers’ cooperative, Sna Jtz-ibajom (The House of the Writers). While cameras and camcorders were hardly novelties in Chiapas, they were generally used by tourists whose picture-taking reinforced their own cultural biases. Ewald did not take pictures; instead she guided her students in taking their own pictures of their daily lives, dreams, desires, and fantasies. These briefs resonated with the importances held by dreams in Mayan culture, which considers them as real as waking life. The resulting project,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Devil is leaving his Cave\u003c\/em\u003e, is a unique insight into the everyday realities of life in Mayan communities just before the devastation of the Zapatista uprising. This book brings together Ewald’s original project with new work made in collaboration with fifteen young Mexican Americans living in Chicago, coordinated with the help of Centro Romero, an immigrant service organisation. These images respond to many of the same subjects as those by Ewald’s 1990s students, with an emphasis now on capturing inner lives and dreams as a way of reckoning with the unvoiced experiences of immigration. The themes of restriction and self-reflection that emerged from this new work were intensified by being made in part under COVID lockdown. Together, the Chiapas and Chicago projects trace the differences between growing up in different Mexican geographies with diverse histories, while holding on to the universal joys and sorrows of childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith essays by Wendy Ewald, Abigail Winograd, and Edgar Garcia.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOTA bound paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e20 x 24.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e, 144 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42923687608544,"sku":"","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/TheDevil_angled_860x_cb5bdc48-fa31-4255-840f-95ffe7027142.jpg?v=1654159674"},{"product_id":"contact-high-d-angelo-lovell-williams","title":"Contact High - D’Angelo Lovell Williams","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoth an artist’s book and comprehensive inquisition of D’Angelo Lovell Williams’s work to date, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eContact High\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e offers an expansive engagement with the visualisation of desire and depiction of the Black body.

Although Hare experienced a significant, if fleeting, degree of professional success, including a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1977, an Aperture monograph, and three Guggenheim fellowships, his work has not received the critical attention it deserves and his extraordinary life story remains obscure. This lack of recognition has much to do with Hare’s fanatical aversion to the commercial realms of the art world even at the height of his professional success. Perhaps his most overt declaration of aesthetic disavowal was his ultimate decision to renounce his identity as an artist in 1985 and pursue a career as a clinical therapist specializing in ‘work abuse’. Hare would subsequently donate his entire archive to the Bancroft Library at the University of California with the provision that any reproduction of his work must include a caption that states that the photograph was created ‘to protest and warn against the growing domination of working people by multinational corporations and their elite owners and managers.’\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQuitting Your Day Job\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003econsiders the vexed relation between art and politics that defined Hare’s career, drawing upon largely unexamined archival materials, new interviews and analyzing Hare’s brilliant and moving photographs alongside the prolix and oftentimes bathetic prefaces he wrote for the three collections of his photographs. The book presents a wide-ranging critical account of Hare’s life and art, suggesting the ways in which his work continues to resonate with contemporary concerns about the reach of corporations into everyday life, documentary photography’s longstanding complicity with the politics of liberal guilt, and art’s vexed relation to elite channels of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaperback with flap\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14 x 22.8 cm, 242 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42923784306912,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/Quittingyourdayjob_860x_53c22f74-710f-414b-83bc-72b6fa0076cc.jpg?v=1654161044"}],"url":"https:\/\/todomodo.live\/en\/collections\/mack.oembed?page=7","provider":"Todo Modo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
