    Tomoko Sawada - Facial SignatureSeigensha Art Publishing 2015 ISBN 9784861524844 Acqn 24949Pb 15x19cm 240pp 220col ills £45

    Japanese artist Tomoko Sawada uses photography and techniques of performance art to exploreideas of identity, status, culture, individualism, stereotypes, and conformity through traditional andcontemporary methods of portraiture, making use of cosmetics and costume to dramatically alterher appearance. In her various series, each photograph appears to represent a differentindividual or group, yet all of the subjects are in fact the artist herself. For her project ‘Facial

    Signature’, which considers the intuitive process by which people achieve cognition of true orfalse archetypes, Sawada transformed herself 300 times to look like a variety of East Asianwomen.

    'Taking Off' is a real picture story of a failed marriage, of sexual frustration and voyeurism.

    Exit 58 – MinimumOlivares & Associates 2015 no ISBN Acqn 25321Pb 21x26cm 184pp 80ills 70col £26

    This issue honours the minimal, thereby reasserting the importance and the difference betweenthe little, the minimum, the fragment, and the micro. While technology can bring us to the limits ofperception and beyond, in order to see better, to understand the whole through its parts, withoutthe need for anything other than our intelligence and our eyes, we have invented the fragment.With it, we define the scale ourselves. The selected artists confront this concept through differentperspectives and with different purposes. Featuring work by David Goldblatt, Bohnchang Koo,Ciuco Gutiérrez, Pernilla Zetterman, Jochen Lemper, Aleydis Rispa, Claus Goedicke, and others.

    Kid Nostalgia - Portraits Of South Korean YouthPropaganda 2014 ISBN 9788998143190 Acqn 24267Hb 24x29cm 112pp 52ills £23.95

    Park Sung Jin’s black-and-white shots of kids in their school uniforms betray an undercurrent ofrestlessness and rebelliousness, a certain antisocial energy and imperfect freedom that is bothpure and naïve. He sought out this raw, ironic beauty not in the majority of youths who aredevoted to their studies and obey the rules, but in those who loiter around the back alleys andvacant lots, smoking cigarettes. Having left Seoul at age seventeen to move to New York, SungJin is in a way trying to find his own forgotten roots through these arresting and powerful portraits,fully capturing the youthful charisma and attitude in his subjects’ postures, expressions and eyes.

    More and more people are travelling across the world to discover other cultures, lose themselvesin the unknown and (thanks to Eat Pray Love and Julia Roberts' alligator grin) the new number 1travel cliché: to find themselves. Bart Eysink Smeets longed for the spiritual enlightenment andlife-affirming answers to questions like; What is the meaning of life? He really, really wanted tofind himself in India, but as a happy Amsterdammer and reluctant traveller he didn't actually wantto go there. So Bart did the next best thing, he harnessed the spiritual power of Photoshop andcarefully inserted himself into photos his friends had taken when they were actually in India.
