Street Light : Photo Books and Zines (June 2019)

Street Light is a monthly series where I showcase photography work to purchase that might not have as much visibility or large production numbers. From smaller run-offs and zines to books and crowdfunding campaigns, I’ll try to feature selections of mostly newer work that you’re not as likely to find in bookstores. Hopefully, this can be a way to help talented photographers get their work seen for purchase, while also helping readers find great work they didn’t know was available. So, check here to find what’s out there, much of it before it’s gone. (All monthly selections will be added to a permanent page, organizing them together so you can check anytime)

And if you have a new photo book, zine or crowdfunding campaign, or if you’d like to recommend another photographer’s, please comment it below. (no e-books/e-zines, please)

*I had more trouble than usual finding new work to showcase this month, especially when it came to books, which I had to leave out for the first time. So, please help me help you, and others, by commenting or messaging me new work to feature. Thanks!*

John Bolloten : LOVE STORY

Gary is 44 years old and has been injecting heroin since he was 15. He drinks a number of tins of strong Polish lager every day and sometimes smokes crack. Maree is 24 and doesn’t use heroin – she smokes crack and also drinks lager daily.
For eight months, between February and October 2018, I visited Gary and Maree weekly at their flat.
-John Bolloten, March 2019

Warning: Contains images of drug use and nudity.

Sam Ferris : OFF QUAY

Photographed between 2013-2018 this zine is the first publication of my project ‘Off Quay’, which focuses on the areas surrounding Sydney’s most famous landmarks. The images depict everyday occurrences amidst the settings of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and ferry wharves. It is in these locations that people from all ages, backgrounds and walks of life are corralled into the same condensed, public space. Tourists marvel at the beauty of the harbour, while locals glide by on their daily commute seemingly immune to the charms of their surrounds. When a ferry docks, wave after wave of people come streaming through and the chiaroscuro light serves as a disclosing tool that exaggerates and magnifies the sheer chaos and multitude people caught up in this daily ritual.

Shyue Woon : DARK CITIES

DARK CITIES Trilogy, inaugural winner of the FIRST DRAFT Award by THEBOOKSHOW, is a series of three books of photographs re-imagining fringe spaces in the metropoles of Singapore, Tokyo and Seoul. CARPARK, first in the series, investigates the nocturnal meanderings of a dark multi-storey carpark in Singapore. CAPSULE, the second book, revisits a futuristic tower in Ginza built in the 1970s, through the imagined eyes and mind of its architect. The third book EULJIRO is a lost and found diary of a fading iconic Seoul district, once a symbol of the country’s modernization.

Co-published by Invisible Photographer Asia (IPA), DARK CITIES is the debut publication of Singapore-based architect and photographer Shyue Woon.

Alison McCauley : ANOTHER CANNES

Through 56 unconventional black and white photos, Alison McCauley shows her distinctive and offbeat view of the Cannes Film Festival. Walking the streets, rubbing shoulders with the famous on the red carpet or letting chance lead her in the streets of Cannes, Alison captures the essence of this global rendezvous of cinema.

In ANOTHER CANNES, reality meets the artifices of a multi-faceted environment, an environment often unseen by the general public. Moving away from all forms of classicism, Alison unveils another Cannes, a different Cannes and certainly a Cannes that has not finished surprising you and making people talk about it.

Charlie Kirk : Katil Var (pre-orders)

Katil var means “there is a murderer”. According to many, that murderer is Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey.

A professed man of the people with multiple Swiss bank accounts and over $4,000,000 stuffed in shoe boxes. A man who ordered the police to tear gas thousands in Taksim, who weeps for a dead Egyptian girl and defames a dead Turkish boy. A man who steals and distributes opposition media to friends like candy. And a man who violates human rights to lock up Selahattin Demirtas, the most charismatic politician Turkey has seen in decades. Much of this is alleged of course.  It can only ever be alleged.

Katil var. I first heard those words in the toxic and pivotal summer of 2013, during the Gezi park protests. Reverberating in and echoing around Taksim, Sisli, Okmeydani and Gazi Mahallesi. Words shouted with courage by the thousands of lithe youths that I had a crush on and wanted to be.  Words painted on walls and quickly obscured with grey paint the next morning. Words that could only be voiced in the safety of a crowd.

Katil var. A photobook of what I saw between 2012 to 2015. The short period when Erdogan was at his most vulnerable, beginning with the lead up to Gezi, Gezi itself and covering the Soma mining disaster, the refugee crisis, Newroz festivals and culminating with the loss of the AKPs majority in the summer of 2015.  A time perhaps predicted by Nazim Hikmet in his poem, Plea. 

Katil var. My first and probably last photobook. It’s the result of nearly 40,000 shots with a Leica MP, llford HP5 and an oversized flash with a sticker of a heart on it. It’s the result of being detained and deported. It’s the result of friendships gained and even better friendships lost.  And it’s the result of years of artistic insecurity, procrastination and of reconciling myself to loss.

Feng Li : White Night (2nd edition)

This is photographer Feng Li’s (generally known as “free pig” in China) first monograph, with a selection of his color works shot from 2005 to 2015. The title comes from a sentence in the Holy Bible, “By day they meet with darkness, and grope at noon as in the night.”

“I don’t know whether they are photographic works, but they do present another side of our reality. I can’t explain them specifically, as I can’t understand the world. The only thing I can tell is my questions. Most of the time I am the person who asks, and answers a question in front of me by asking a new. There is always a question mark following the answers. I can ask at any time with my camera. The seemingly calm world is torn by sharp flash, and deep shadows are left in the souls. The night outside my window is white as the day when the passengers walk in a hurry. This is my world, of white night.” — Feng Li

Edas Wong : RE-FORM

Edas WONG is an amateur street photographer from Hong Kong. The public may find his name a bit unfamiliar. However, he has been working hard in photography. Besides keeps publishing his photographs on the web, he has also won many international awards and participated in exhibitions overseas.

The collection of photographs in “RE-FORM” for pre-sale this time is a series of photographs that Edas started taking in 2012. These photographs are different from street photographs taken casually or those that pay much attention to the composition of images. Edas intended to discard all known understandings and restrictive assumptions and use the way of child’s thinking to re-comprehend the world in front of him. Then he reformed all the elements with unlimited imagination and formed all the interesting photos.

This publication will be pre-sold at a discount price of HK$198. Oversea readers can order by email at info@brownie.com.hk.

Book Size：W215mm x H152mm (TBC)
Pages: 112 pages (TBC)

Sven Kräuter : The World Is A Strange Place To Look At

“What is it that holds the world together? What is the secret red thread that connects every place on earth despite all the differences? What are the similarities between everyday life in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Neukölln, Shimokitazawa and Karakoy? Potentially quite some things, and in Sven Kräuter’s “The world is a strange place to look at” the global parallels that fascinate him the most are the movement of the people and the light they are dancing through. That, and the absurdities that lie hidden in everyday life. Hidden moments until you uncover them with photographs.”
