Kult Books Il Malocchio: 2022
Book SynopsisAccording to old pagan beliefs Il Malocchio or the evil eye' is a curse causing bad luck and misfortune. In his debut book Il Malocchio Italian photographer Andrea Simonato depicts the quiet villages of his home region of Vicenza in the Northern Italy as upon this curse of unluckiness causing decay and abandonment. On his walks through sleeping villages and their empty buildings, dark woods and resting groves Simonato makes extraordinary findings in the seemingly common surroundings. The work echoes both longing and hope, creating a beautiful and poetic, yet mysterious ode to a place called home. When photographing I try to keep an open mind to whatever I come across. What I look for in a subject is to catch its enigmatic character, what it seems to be hiding rather than what it lets you see. Photographing in black and white helps me to abstract reality more easily by creating a sort of parallel world that is precisely that of the photographic narrative itself. Il Malocchio creates a conceptual frame for my work, as it is inherent for me to explore the mysterious side of things.

Aspekt B.V., Uitgeverij David Bowie: On Stage in Holland
Book SynopsisAt the age of 11, in December 1975, I became interested in pop music. Aside from David Bowies music, I was tremendously fascinated by his strange hair and clothes. Santa Claus brought me my first single titles Fame and I played it again and again. When I saw the German film Christine F, in 1982, the soundtrack was filled with Bowies music. Heroes was my favorite song. From that time on Bowies was the only music playing on my record player. Ultimately I had some 30 LPs and 40 singles. In the summer of 1983, I went to Rotterdam to see the concert The Serious Moonlight Tour. That show left a big impression. Meanwhile, coinciding with my interest in Bowie, I also developed a profound interest in photography and started my internship in Amsterdam, aspiring to become a professional photographer. When the news of a new Bowie tour broke, it was early 1987 and the first European show was scheduled in Holland. My journal entry 30 March 1987 reads: David Bowies press conference at the Amsterdam pop temple Paradiso. With two cameras one loaded with a color film and one with black and white film I rode my bike to Paradiso to wait for David Bowie. From a distance I watched him enter the venue and then I waited for him to come out again. A large group of children attending the school across the street from Paradiso suddenly broke loose and ran inside. I hesitated a moment, then followed them until I was stopped and questioned by an EMI employee. Who are you? He demanded to know, and while my heart was pounding out of my chest, I told him I was a photographer for a local newspaper in the eastern part of the country and showed him my press card. Come with me he said, and instead of being sent away, I ended up right in the middle of the concert hall, with my hero for the first time at the other end of my camera. Over the years following this unique mini-concert, I frequently have had the chance to photograph David Bowie at various locations and venues. On 7 December, 2015 I saw David Bowie at what we know now was his last public appearance; the Lazarus musical premiere in New York. Although I did not know him personally, he was a constant source of musical inspiration and pleasure for me. In this book, which is a tribute to the singer who has inspired me over the years, there are pictures of the following tours: The Glass Spider, Sound and Vision, Tin Machine, Its my life, Outside, Outside Summer Festivals, and finally the Earthling Tour. It spans a decade of concerts which took place from 1987-1997 in the Netherlands. These photos of David Bowie mark the beginning, and also the breakthrough, of my career as a professional photographer. I am delighted to share these photos with you and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do. To have been able to attend his concerts and photograph him was a feast. He is no more and thats very sad. But his music lives on forever! Bernard Rubsamen, 14 January 2016.
