Exposure
A captivating exploration of contemporary Antipodean photography and the power of the lens to observe, interpret and inspire.
A photograph is a visual capture of a fleeting moment in time. A split second on either side can change the result entirely: the exact moment of exposure is critical. More than simply a static image, a photograph has the power to evoke emotion, revealing both the seen and the unseen.
In her latest collection, Amber Creswell Bell explores the work of forty contemporary photographers from Australia and New Zealand, such as Leila Jeffreys, Bill Henson and Kara Rosenlund. Each artist shares insights into their practice, ranging from the whimsical to the wild, addressing subjects as diverse as the environment, motherhood and identity. Some point and shoot; others meticulously curate a scene, but they all strive for creative connection with the viewer through this common medium. Exposure captures the essence of modern photography, showcasing bold perspectives, striking landscapes and intimate portraits that reflect the region's cultural richness and natural beauty.
Japanese Homes
Delving into the harmony of tradition and modernity in Japanese residential architecture to reimagine the art of home design.
Life in Japan - and therefore also the culture of living - oscillates between two very contrasting poles: on the one hand, the tranquility of country life, surrounded by the sounds of nature, with tatami mats, sliding doors and engawa wooden verandas, and on the other, the frenetic dynamism of the metropolises and large cities with minimalist townhouses on narrow plots and sophisticated micro-apartments. It becomes exciting when these worlds of tradition and modernity meet and interact with each other in terms of design.
This volume offers a multifaceted overview of contemporary Japanese residential architecture and introduces the art of creating spaces that combine functionality and spirituality. It offers unique insights into the principles that make them so special and shows how living spaces are not only designed but also experienced. The selected projects invite to understand and reinterpret the essence of Japanese living cultures.
Shin hanga: The New Prints of Japan 1900-1960
Twentieth-century Japanese printmaking-especially the refined art of shin hanga (new prints)-has long remained underappreciated. This expanded and revised edition of Shin Hanga. New Prints of Japan (1900-1960) sets out to change that.
Twentieth-century Japanese printmaking-especially the refined art of shin hanga (new prints)-has long remained underappreciated. This expanded and revised edition of Shin Hanga. New Prints of Japan (1900-1960) sets out to change that.
Building on the success of the original 2022 publication, this richly illustrated volume offers an even deeper exploration of the shin hanga movement, with an expanded section on its most celebrated artist, Kawase Hasui. New entries, additional prints, and enhanced scholarship highlight Hasui's poetic vision and his central role in shaping the aesthetics of modern Japanese woodblock prints.
Shin hanga works are the result of a unique collaborative process between artist, publisher, block cutter, and printer-reviving traditional techniques to create modern expressions of beauty. Their subtle visual language, exquisite craftsmanship, and emotional resonance distinguish them from both their ukiyo-e predecessors and the emerging avant-garde.
This updated edition features an expanded selection of prints, drawn from two major private collections, the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels, and rare works from the Watanabe family archive-the publisher who launched the shin hanga movement and helped define its legacy.

V této sbírce pečlivě napsaných esejů se uznávaný historik architektury Christopher Long postaví některým přetrvávajícím mýtům a mylným představám o životě, díle a myšlenkách Adolfa Loose. Longovo důkladné zkoumání spisů historiků, teoretiků a kritiků minulosti i současnosti nabízí originální a nuancemi propracovaný pohled na Loosovy významné příspěvky k moderní architektuře a designu.

Ivar Otruba, krajinářský architekt / Ivar Otruba, Landscape Architect
Ivar Otruba byl jedinečný moderní krajinářský architekt evropského významu.
První soupis a zhodnocení jeho rozsáhlého díla je nezbytným základem k debatě o jeho odkazu.

Bowieland
BOWIE IS STILL OUT THERE...
Following open heart surgery, Peter Carpenter was given one instruction - walk if you want to stay alive. So, when his hero died in 2016, he knew what he had to do. The figure who was to so many a companion and guide had left no single focal point for homage. To reconnect with him, Carpenter would take a walk into the past, to the places where David Jones became something more: David Bowie.
Leaving behind well-known shrines to Bowie, he journeyed through South London edgelands to obscurer haunts. Carpenter's quest, a series of happy accidents and chance meetings, took him to Bickley as well as Berlin and Brixton, to Eel Pie Island as well as Heddon Street and Beckenham.
Carpenter's perambulations echo Bowie's own wandering creative spirit. They reveal multiple influences, both conscious and unconscious, in Bowie's creative development. Ultimately, Carpenter reaches a fresh understanding of where Bowie sits in the culture, not as an outlier, but as part of a tradition, informed by those artists, poets and musicians who passed on their wisdom to him. A celebration of the revelatory powers of walking, and by no means just for Bowie obsessives, BOWIELAND opens up our geography in ways rarely seen or so well understood.

Shapes: Geometric Forms in Graphic Design
A book dedicated entirely to geometric shapes, widely used by graphic designers and applied to all fields of communication.
Basic geometric shapes and their various combinations have always dominated graphic design. The creative possibilities they offer are limitless, and viewers continuously interpret them consciously and unconsciously. In this book, now in paperback, readers will find many examples of why geometry is still very much relevant in today's graphic design industry and how it is a crucial part of our visual language. Beyond their colour and size, shapes and forms determine the character and the mood of a layout, without us even realising it.
They provide order and harmony in a world of imperfection and chaos. Designers know this and have been using geometric shapes as a tool for communication and visual impact since the very beginning of the profession. The broad range of case studies featured in this book demonstrates how familiar shapes can be transformed and used to convey new concepts and trends in design.

Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression
In Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression, Jacob Engelberg makes the case for radically recalibrating queer film studies, taking as a starting point those cinematic figures who resist categorization within the gay-straight binary. Engelberg’s engagement with bisexual transgression on film illuminates the mutability and instability of sexuality, and of sociocultural structures more broadly by resisting the censure of images as politically harmful as well as the celebration of transgression as inherently subversive. Instead, Engelberg understands bisexual transgression as a process whereby sociocultural rules are made knowable by being contested. From 1970s vampire films to 1990s erotic thrillers, from lesbian imaginings of female bisexuality to European art cinema’s reckonings with HIV/AIDS, bisexual figures on film embody anxieties around the precarity of binary sexuality while revealing the contingencies of sexuality’s cinematic signification. Revivifying the underexploited contributions of bisexual theory, Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression proposes a new mode of film theorization and analysis that examines the rich space between and beyond dominant categories of sexual organization, where sexual unpredictability, the allure of the forbidden, and the precarity of sexual signification are illuminated.
Kawase Hasui: Modern Visions of Japan
Discover the timeless beauty of Kawase Hasui, the master of shin hanga, in this stunning new book, featuring his most breathtaking woodblock prints and expert insights into his legacy.
Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) was one of the most important and prolific Japanese printmakers of the 20th century. He was one of the main creators of the shin hanga ('new prints') movement, whose artists depicted traditional subjects in a style influenced by Western painting. Shin hanga prints are harmoniously balanced designs, printed on the highest quality paper using the finest pigments, and in small editions. They are the fruit of a traditional yet successful collaboration between artist, publisher, block cutter and printer and have become increasingly popular among collectors of Japanese prints in the last decade.
Hasui began his artistic career studying Japanese painting. However, soon after seeing Shinsui's Eight Views of Lake Biwa series, Hasui turned to woodblock printing in 1919. Shozaburo Watanabe was the first to recognize his artistic genius, and Hasui Kawase soon became the most popular artist working for this prestigious publisher. He produced nearly a thousand woodcuts in a career that spanned almost forty years. Towards the end of his life, the Japanese government recognized him as a 'Living National Treasure' for his contribution to Japanese culture.
