Seth Lower - The Sun Shone Glaringly
The Ice Plant 2014 ISBN 9780989785907 Acqn 23323
Pb 20x24cm 80pp 39col ills 21

Seth Lowers second photo book, The Sun Shone Glaringly, explores an observation he made
upon moving to Los Angeles in 2011: "It isnt always easy to differentiate between what is
spontaneous, or real and whats mediated. Nothing is ever one or the other." Throughout the
book, while repeatedly announcing the thoughts and actions of our generic "hero," Lower
combines various elements--photographs of oddly familiar filming locations; portraits of aspiring
actors he contacted through Craigslist; dialogue and screenplay notations lifted from Hollywood
blockbusters; and his own fabricated narratives--to suggest a story at once sordid and hilarious.
Like a neo-noir film script referencing works as diverse as Mulholland Drive and Crocodile
Dundee IV, Lowers book evokes all the tropes of the Los Angeles myth to address an essential
question: how do popular representations of Los Angeles affect the everyday experience of the
city, and how do people negotiate the slippage between their real lives and their potential selves?

Bull City Summer
Daylight 2014 ISBN 9780988983168 Acqn 23329
Hb 28x22cm 216pp 120col ills 34.95

Bull City Summer brings together a team of artists and documentarians around a season of minor
league baseball to find stories and images on the field and behind the scenes. The Durham Bulls
are one of the most popular and successful minor league baseball teams in the country, with
more players being sent to the Majors than any other minor league team. To diversify the
documentation of the 2013 season, guest artists Alex Harris, Frank Hunter, Kate Joyce, Elizabeth
Matheson, Leah Sobsey, Alec Soth, Hank Willis Thomas and Hiroshi Watanabe were invited to
photograph the team in Durham. "The opportunity to photograph spring baseball in North
Carolina was a no-brainer," Soth says. "The pacing of baseball arouses a kind of leisurely
attentiveness that is analogous to photographic seeing. You look and look and then every once in
a while, snap, you get a hit."

Katy Grannan - The 99
Fraenkel Gallery 2014 ISBN 9781881337386 Acqn 23631
Pb 31x38cm 160pp 70ills 44col 46.50

The result of three years of work in California's Central Valley, Katy Grannan's new series The 99
features large-scale colour portraits and black-and-white photographs. Grannan's recent
photographs are set in the parched landscape and forgotten towns along Highway 99, including
Modesto, Fresno and Bakersfield. In her intensely vivid colour portraits, the artist works at midday
when the sun is direct and the heat is unrelenting, presenting each individual, often
simultaneously heroic and vulnerable, against stark, white backgrounds. In the black-and-white
photographs, many of her subjects re-appear on Modesto's South 9th Street and along the banks
of the Tuolumne River. Everyday rituals, small interactions and moments of beauty on the fringes
of society are depicted in detail, conferring significance to what is often overlooked. This large-
format, two-volume, slip cased monograph gathers this series for the first time.

Kevin Bubriski - Images Of Nepal 1975-2011
Radius Books 2014 ISBN 9781934435724 Acqn 23900
Hb 24x28cm 35

In 1975, as a young Peace Corps volunteer, Kevin Bubriski (born 1954) was sent to Nepal's
northwest Karnali Zone, the country's remotest and most economically depressed region. He
walked the length and breadth of the Karnali, conducting feasibility studies for gravity-flow
drinking water systems and overseeing their construction. He also photographed the villagers he
lived among, producing an extraordinary series of 35mm and large-format black-and-white
images. Over more than three decades, Bubriski has returned many times to Nepal, maintaining
his close association with the country and its people. Images of Nepal 1975-2011 presents this
remarkable body of work--photographs that document Nepal's evolution over a 36-year period
from a traditional Himalayan culture to the globalized society of today. Both visual anthropology
and cultural history, it is also a succinct look at one photographer's aesthetic evolution.

#Sandy - Seen Through the iPhones of Acclaimed Photographers
Daylight 2014 ISBN 9780988983175 Acqn 23902

#Sandy is a book of iPhone photos of Hurricane Sandy captured by photographers Benjamin
Lowy, Stephen Wilkes, Ed Kashi VII, Hank Willis Thomas, 13th Witness, Richard Renaldi,
Michael Christopher Brown, Wyatt Gallery, Ruddy Roye and others. After Hurricane Sandy
devastated communities in the New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut areas in October of

photographs of the storm by the photographers featured here. Hundreds of people attended the
one-night event, and almost 400 photographs were purchased: as a result, $19,000 was donated
to Occupy Sandy and Third Wave Volunteers. All royalties from this collection, published to
coincide with the Rising Waters exhibition at the Museum of The City of New York, will be entirely
donated to Occupy Sandy and Sandy Storyline. Edited by Wyatt Gallery. Text by Sean Corcoran,

Pb 19x26cm 224pp 225ills 75col 31

Shoji Ueda is widely known for combining surrealist compositional elements with realistic
depictions in his typically black and white images. The sand dunes of his native region of Tottori
often provided a backdrop for his single and group portraits. This book examines the trajectory of
methods and ideas behind his work, beautifully presented in remarkable full- and half-page
photographs with short commentaries, and reflects upon newly discovered materials in order to
inject new life into Uedas oeuvre. Published to mark the centennial of his birth, it features
previously unknown colour photos and describes both his collage production methods and
printing techniques.

Thomas Ruff Lichten
ROMA Publications 2014 ISBN 9789491843174 Acqn 23820
Pb 23x31cm 144pp 60ills 57col 30

Coinciding with exhibitions in Ghent and Dsseldorf, this book comprises five photo series
ranging from Thomas Ruffs start in the late 1970s to recent work in 2014. As a conceptual
photographer, his interest lies less in photographing reality, and instead focuses on portraying the
realities of photography. Based in the spectrum between natural and virtual light, it engages a
fundamental shift in the photographic medium over the last 30 years. In each series, Ruff subjects
the medium to systematic analysis, the social, political and aesthetic aspects of image production.
With contributions by Philippe Van Cauteren, Robert Fleck, Gregor Jansen, Martin Germann, and
Valeria Liebermann.

Cristina Iglesias, Thomas Struth - Constructions Of The Imagination
Ivory Press 2014 ISBN 9788494146282 Acqn 23857
Pb 17x23cm 72pp 18col ills 11.50

Published with the exhibition On Reality by sculptor Cristina Iglesias and photographer Thomas
Struth, this book explores the concept of the Future and other modern myths through the two
artists work. While Struth turns his gaze towards the empty or decommissioned spaces of
technological environs and large theme parks to chase the future myth, Iglesias is likewise
inspired by science fiction, as space elevators reach for the stratosphere and water metaphors
materialise in tangled corridors and green glass. Both deal with liminal spaces in their works,
making visible a lyrical future of suspended moments wherein our very notion of the passage of
time is investigated.
