Spreads from Homes by Harley Weir. A few remaining copies are still available on our shop.

We have worked alongside Harley for the past 10 days to turn around this project, which was made last month in Calais and we feel documents a crucial and necessary human perspective to picturing migration.

All earnings from the publication will be donated to La Cimade, a French charity committed to protecting the human rights of refugees and migrants.

We are proud to announce Homes by Harley Weir, a book of photographs taken between the 17 and 28 October in the migrant and refugee camps of Calais.

The photographs show us the homes and private spaces of the camp. In the face of oppression and indifference from those most poised to provide assistance, Homes shows a stubborn commitment to the small, personal spaces of humanity within the Calais camp.

All proceeds from the publication of this book will be donated to La Cimade, a French charity committed to protecting and defending the human rights of refugees and migrants. This publication is available exclusively online.

A special edition of Homes is also available, published in an edition of 60 and including a hand-printed image by the artist.

From Snow Cab by Sean Vegezzi - Publisher back in May, few copies still available from our shop.

A departure from prior works, Snow Cab evolved as an immediate, frenzied and searching response following the Paris terror attacks of November 2015.

Snow Cab catalogues an eponymous installation of works installed within a vacated retail unit within Lower Manhattan, the works of Snow Cab actively blend and respond to the inert post consumer space they inhabit, a space in which subsequent to their exhibition the works were left, in situ.

Vegezzi’s practise explores the blending of the individual with narratives of privacy, security and visibility within the American military-industrial complex.

“As a voracious reader with a particular taste for the eclectic, Ghirri also reaches outwards from his own practice to explore the history of photography as he considers the work of Walker Evans, William Eggleston, Robert Adams and John Gossage, weaving in references to musicians, writers and painters alike.” - MACK

Spread from Snow Cab.

A few preview spreads from Elemer by Marton Perlaki, available to pre-order now.

Elemer by Marton Perlaki describes a world of chances and combinations, revolving around the manipulation of one central figure before his camera. We do not know who Elemér is – indeed, Perlaki suggests we do not need to know – and as we witness him moving and appearing before the camera he is sculpted, both gesturally and literally. His movements, in turn, elicit the witty, hallucinatory and strange from simple still lives, landscapes and portraits made in Perlaki’s native Hungary.

Perlaki began Elemer after starting to collect cigarette cards – the disposable objects of the early 20th century that contain on one side, a household tip, and on the other, an image. He describes how ‘On first glance, the images look silly and nonsensical, but when flipped over these pictograms suddenly make sense’. This flipping of the card continues throughout Elemer – birds, bubbles, bricks, potatoes and Elemér himself are broken from their contexts, they crash and collide with one another. Within this form of bricolage – this flipping of the cards – Perlaki brings out the absurd from the factual, the delicate from the concrete.
