The Sunday market is a kind of street theatre: spontaneous and highly visual. Capturing a contrast between the energy of the people buying and selling and the run-down, pre-gentrification East End, these images offer a glimpse into the area before its dramatic social change. Compelling, vibrant, humorous and heartfelt, Paul Trevor''s photography brings to life a diverse, thrumming city that feels both faraway and familiar. Motivated by a keen social impulse, self-taught photographer Paul Trevor spent many years during the ''70s and ''80s capturing life in London''s markets. His photographs have been exhibited internationally since 1970.

Door to Door is a selection of photos taken on a few-months long trip to my home country of Iran in 2022. In documenting these photos, I felt like an alien observing a culture that is both mine and no longer mine. As an almost daily ritual, I captured these snapshots in different parts of the country while I would go for long walks. The material making of the country, how things felt on my hands, the smells, and the noises of the streets are all too familiar - they've stood still but somehow time has moved on without me present.I've focused here on doors that blend into the fabric of the streets. These doors are often much older than I am. Each holds an untold story - what is behind the door, what happens in front of the door and of the material making of the door itself. From the patterns chosen, to the colors painted and repainted at different points in time by different owners and caretakers, each has its own unique reasoning for being. Door to Door is a nod to the mundane that remains still in the dust of the streets, painted and repainted again over time. This is a project of love for the people, places and things all existing in harmony and contradiction.Catalog design & exhibition branding: Marlo YarloForeword written by Zari G., Translated by: A.

Michael Dressel, geboren 1958 in Ost-Berlin, ist ein Wanderer zwischen der amerikanischen und der deutschen Kultur.Die regelmäßigen Reisen zwischen seinen Heimatorten an der amerikanischen Westküste und Berlin sensibilisieren ihn, die gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen der letzten Jahrzehnte klarsichtiger zu erkennen als die meisten Einheimischen. Sein zweites Buch zeigt seine Sicht auf die amerikanische Gesellschaft am Vorabend einer historischen Wahl, einer Wahl zwischen Vernunft und Wahnsinn, zwischen einem geordneten Zivilstaat und fortschreitendem Verfall und Chaos. Aus mitteleuropäischer Sicht betrachtet, sollte die Wahl eindeutig ausfallen, aber um ein Gefühl über die aktuelle Geisteslage der Amerikaner zu entwickeln, hilft es sich dieses Buch mit dem endzeitlichen Titel anzuschauen. Dressels beeindruckende Bilder zeigen ein Land, eine Gesellschaft am Rande des Abgrunds, Menschen geprägt von extremem Nationalismus, politischer Polarisierung, religiösem Fanatismus, Waffenwahn gepaart mit Paranoia und allgegenwärtiger Armut und moralischem Verfall. Ergänzt werden seine Porträt durch Landschaftsaufnahmen die ihre eigene düstere Sprache sprechen.Geboren 1958 in Ost Berlin, studierte Michael Dressel kurz Bühnenbild an der Kunsthochschule Weissensee und verbrachte, nach einem missglückten Fluchtversuch, zwei prägende Jahre in DDR-Gefängnissen. Nach seiner Ausbürgerung in den Westen lebte er 1985 für kurze Zeit in West-Berlin bevor es ihn nach Los Angeles verschlug wo er seitdem lebt und bis vor kurzem als Soundeditor an großen Hollywood-Produktionen arbeitete, was ihm unter anderem die Mitgliedschaft in der Oscar Academy einbrachte. Die Straße, die Menschen auf der Straße, die Stadt, Landschaften sind seine Themen, die er in seinen Heimatstädten Los Angeles und Berlin aber auch auf Reisen in Europa, Amerika, Asien... verfolgt. Sein erstes Buch "Los(t) Angeles" erschien 2022 parallel bei Hartmann Books (Europa) und Gingko Press (Nord Amerika).

APOCALYPSE is a French magazine (in English) about motorcycle pop culture. It delves into the world of motorbiking and breaches its borders: "Whilst the motorcycle is the thread that ties the magazine together it explores a vast and varied range of subjects that focus through the lens of art and culture.

Holy Rus is a photography book by Vladislav Semenov. The book contains 240 pictures taken with a film camera during trips to Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Turkmenistan and Ukraine. Some 30 years after the downfall of communism, the photographer reveals the bittersweet side of a post-Soviet world riddled withparadoxes: oscillating between hypermodernity and folk traditions, disproportionate wealth and extreme poverty, kitsch and classicism, religiosity and consumerism. With derision but not without tenderness, the photographer highlights the incoherencies and the sometimes tragicomic absurdity of everyday situations encountered by the ordinary people, whether they be revelers, old folks, tourists, fervent patriots or thehomeless. Initially begun as a travel log, the series evolves into a personal diary, summarizing the artist's both mental and physical trip through his homeland, as if he was trying to reconnect the strands of his origins.

Famed for restoring historic properties, Belmond luxury?hotel group is now collaborating with world-leading contemporary photographers to create bodies of work responding to their destinations, carefully pairing each artist with the personality of the chosen hotel. Letizia Le Fur photographed Caruso, on the Amalfi Coast in autumn 2022, and spring 2024. Caruso has a history that goes back almost a thousand years, and there is a certain genius in the way Le Fur depicts its architecture against the glowing hills and towering cliffs of this most iconic stretch of Italy's coastline. The reliefs appear almost flat, like a Renaissance trompe l'oeil fresco, or a stage set for A Midsummer Night's Dream, where one could simply step out and glide across their surface. The gardens could have been plucked straight from a Hayao Miyazaki fantasy. It was quite intentional for these photographs to reinforce the dreamlike, timeless aspect of the place. Le Fur sought to capture what she calls the 'omnipresent sun' - the buttery light that drenches the 11th-century walls and cliffside gardens. It is this singular observation that drives the book; every subject Le Fur captures is soaked in a luminescence that plays a character in several acts, and it is the sun's kaleidoscopic theatrics that form the heart of the story.

Famed for restoring historic properties, Belmond luxury¿hotel group is now collaborating with world-leading contemporary photographers to create bodies of work responding to their destinations, carefully pairing each artist with the personality of the chosen hotel. Coco Capitán photographed the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express in spring 2023 and winter 2024.Coco Capitán doesn't like planes. Instead, she loves nothing more than classical forms of transportation - sailboats, yachts, vintage cars and, of course, the archetypal train journey. So when Capitán was invited to photograph the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express - with its original 1920s carriages and historic routes throughout Europe - she couldn't say no. While on board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Capitán took the most instinctive approach, that of a curious traveller taking a trip with friends. Within the series, the relationship Capitán has built with the staff is interchangeable with the existing bond with her friends who join her on the journey. Images fluctuate from playful snapshots to thoughtful moments of contemplation.Capitán's photographs and the series title remind us that, amongst the glamour, the pilgrimage is just as important as the destination. Each minute should be treasured, no matter how silly or trivial it can feel, because this new reality is fleeting, and will soon belong to someone else.

This year, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie gives a Carte Blanche to multimedia artist Thomas Mailaender, dedicating to him his first major retrospective in Paris. The artist, who aims to push the boundaries of photographic experimentation by exploring a wide variety of media, will occupy the two floors of the galleries of the Parisian institution.To continue this immersive and interactive exhibition, a book titled Les Belles Images, published by RVB BOOKS, presents all the artist''s works featured at the MEP and takes us behind the scenes of his studio. The book includes texts by Simon Baker and Luce Lebart.

Following in the great tradition of a noble and ancient genre, Charles Negre presents a series of ultra-contemporary still lifes he created at the end of the Parisian markets. The artist moves his camera out into the field, capturing abandoned remains in situ. Playing on the codes of advertising, the book Sidewalk Stills explores the visual charge of seemingly innocuous, disposable subjects, creating images that at once shock, delight and make visible food waste and overconsumption.

Since 2005, Corinne Vionnet has been working on mass tourism and the massive circulation of images. Paris Paris Paris follows on from the seriesthat made her famous. After studying several destinations, the artist turned her attention to one of the most photographed cities, and found numeroussites and monuments that feed an uninterrupted flow of images. The Swiss artist transforms the raw material she works with: standardized snapshots of hyper-frequented places that feed social networks. Her images, which reveal nothing of the considerable work involved in their creation (archive research, crowdsourcing and collage), question our collective memory and tourist behavior. Why do we always take and share the same images?

"Images that embody the point of view of the perpetrators of violent crimes, or their accomplices, force us to look at the pain of victims through the eyes of those who caused it. Accompanied by over sixty visuals of historically infamous violence, The Death in their Eyes goes beyond the visible aspects of images to reveal what has been left outside of the frame. Covering human abuse and humiliation at Abu Ghraib, the Auschwitz Album, religious desecration during the Spanish Civil War, an unfinished Nazi propaganda film made at the Warsaw Ghetto in the spring of 1942, and detainees at the S-21 torture center in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, this volume proposes a rigorous new methodology for analyzing perpetrator images, in photography and film, that continue to be used and re-appropriated in today's media"--

As Americans prepared for-and then entered-World War II, the nation was awash with government propaganda. Armed with his Graflex, Speed Graphic, and 35mm cameras, Alfred Palmer shot many of the images that appeared in these patriotic appeals. His photographs were used by the National Defense Advisory Commission, the Office of Emergency Management, the Office of War Information, the War Production Board, the War Shipping Administration, and the US Maritime Commission.Palmer's photographs were seen by millions of Americans and Europeans. His work reveals his technical prowess. He was masterful in his use of lighting and was a pioneer in the use of color photography. He brought a visual weapon to America's arsenal to counter Nazi propaganda. His images portray a country transformed into an economically wealthy, socially coherent, and energetic nation whose citizens-including women and ethnic minorities-were depicted as vitally important to the war effort.
