Hong Kong University Press The City of Flowers: Dezső Bozóky’s Canton
Book SynopsisIn 1908, Hungarian doctor Dezso Bozóky left Hong Kong as an officer with the Austro-Hungarian Navy and became a witness to the end of China's imperial era. As he traveled through Canton, Fujian, Shanghai, and Beijing, he documented the countryside, numerous cities along China's coast, and his impressions of regions that were experiencing dramatic socioeconomic change. The City of Flowers shares the diary excerpts and photographs that Bozóky created during his time in Canton and Guangdong provinces to offer a glimpse of life during one of China's most transformative periods. Each image is digitized from Bozóky's hand-colored glass slides, which are held in the permanent collection of the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asiatic Arts in Budapest. Although the Qing Dynasty ended long ago, Bozóky's interest in nature, architecture, the Qing Dynasty, and the people he met resonates with audiences today.

RVB Books Cathedrales
Book SynopsisThe starting point of Laurence Aëgerter's facsimile Cathédrales, is the 1949 catalogue Cathedrals and churches of France, published by the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Tourism. The artist placed the book by the window in her studio and allowed the incidence of natural light to impact a reproduction of the façade of the Saint-Étienne cathedral in Bourges. She photographed the book every minute during two hours, obtaining 120 photographs of light variations upon this unique image. The play of shadow and light of the Gothic architecture in the orignal photograph, is superimposed by a new shadow that slowly glide on the cathedral and, imperceptibly but irreparably, swallows it up. Aëgerter's photographs contain thus three stratified layers of times : the 12th century, 1949 and 2012. Cathédrales presents a photographic sequence and as we turn the pages, we are aware of the temporal dimension of this visual exploration, a metaphor of transcience.

RVB Books Out of Order
Book SynopsisOut of Order is a collection of images I found between 2008 and 2013 on office liquidations websites that buy the entire stock of furniture from offices going out of business. Among the offerings of used office desks for sale are the office plants whose job it was to make office employees feel more human - to give them something to care for in these synthetic modular spaces. The objects pictured in these images are the aftermath and by-products of a Modernism infused with a disparity between free market optimism and its dystopic result.

Five Continents Editions Verso Reverso
Book SynopsisThis volume marks the publishing debut of the Spanish-Argentinian photographer based in Milan, Patricio Reig, and introduces one of the artist’s preferred subjects: the female portrait. Patricio Reig prints and sets his images on special oriental paper, folded over and over, and finally dipped in a bath of coffee and sodium thiosulfate. He has found the result intriguing ever since his very first experiments: fortuitous coffee stains become scars that denote each photograph, and consequently every story they tell. As he himself says: “A portrait is not the recording of a single identity, but rather the layering of many elements. For this reason, the image may be fragmented, pieced back together, or even folded over, and yet it never loses its essence.” Text in English, French and Spanish.
