Tuttle Publishing Zen Garden Design: Mindful Spaces by Shunmyo
Book SynopsisZen Buddhist priest Shunmyo Masuno understands that today's busy world leaves little time or space for self-reflection, but that a garden—even in the most urban of spaces—can provide some respite. In his words, "The garden is a special spiritual place where the mind dwells." With this in mind, Masuno has designed scores of spectacular Japanese gardens and landscapes with the aim of helping people achieve a balanced life in the 21st century.This book explores Masuno's design process and ideas, which are integral to his daily Zen training and teachings. It features 15 unique gardens and contemplative landscapes completed in six countries over as many years—all thoughtfully described and documented in full-color photos and drawings. Readers will also find insights on Masuno's philosophy of garden design and a conversation between the designer and famed architect Terunobu Fujimori.Zen Garden Design provides an in-depth examination of Masuno's gardens and landscapes—not just as beautiful spaces, but as places for meditation and contemplation.Trade Review"…a deeper dive into Masunos design process and ideas, so if you're after something that's instructional as well as inspirational then this is [an] option for you." -- Flowers Across Melbourne blog"The text is superb--very complex thoughts written in an almost readily understandable fashion, and most enjoyable to read. And the illustrations are even better--assisted, I am certain, by the quality of the gardens being illustrated." --Shakkei Journal"[Masuno's] ideas and design process, which are fundamental to his daily Zen practice and teachings, are explored through photographs, drawings and descriptive narrative." --ABC Gardening Australia magazine

RM Verlag SL Miguel Calderon: Catalogue
Book SynopsisCatálogo gathers photographs of prostitutes that were provided to the select clients of a brothel and shown to artist Miguel Calderon by his uncle when he was thirteen years old, so that he could choose one of them to undergo his “initiation into manhood.” Thirty years later, Calderon has recovered these images and transformed them into part of a narrative which, out of a very specific context and age, he uses to analyze and recount his sexual awakening. But what happens when a child grows into a youth thinking that sex has a monetary value and that making love without paying for it is rather the exception than the norm? The loss of their virginity has always been a rite of initiation that adolescents have to face. In Mexico City in the 1980s the beginning of a youngster’s sexual life was largely conditioned by the social pressures exerted by his classmates. To remain a virgin was synonymous with weakness and mockery; losing one’s virginity became a matter of life and death, generally achieved by a visit to a brothel. The girls in the boy’s life, whether classmates or neighbors, only increased the pressure by insisting that they would not lose their virginity until marriage. The girls themselves were part of a social construct in which it was implicit that the boys would lose their virginity to a prostitute. But the brothels were not charitable organizations: you had to pay. For that there were the grandfathers’ gold pens, the candlesticks, the wallets of absent-minded mothers, and the complete collections of Star Wars.

Damiani Toiletpaper Magazine 9
Book SynopsisTOILETPAPER is a picture based magazine founded in 2010 by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari. Each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialisation of the duo's mental outbursts. TOILETPAPER combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and a troubling imagination, creating a world that displays ambiguous and surrealistic imagery. TOILETPAPER images have been reviewed by weekly and art magazines worldwide and appeared in special issues of magazines such as Vice and Hunger. TOILETPAPER was also exhibited on the High Line Billboard in Chelsea, NYC in May, 2012. In the same year images taken from the first six issues have been published in an anthology, together with selected narrative texts, that was reviewed in The New York Times' Top 10 Photo Books.

Book SynopsisLodestars Anthology: Pathways contains 14 of the best and most carefully selected paths and trails that we have traversed. This book explores and details those pathways, the people, the landscapes and the fascinating things we discovered along the way. The journeys we take have a start and an end point, but we, in this book, want to relish the bit in between.

The book is a guide to these pathways, but goes beyond this to capture and document the lives of the people we meet, the challenges of the trip and the culture and landscapes we find that inspire us to keep on adventuring. 1 A collection of pathways from around the world captured through compelling narrative, high quality photography and key guide points. 2 Documenting how to travel and how to experience everything from the start the end of a journey. 3 The people we meet, the places we discover, the sights we see and the paths we took to discover them.

New Heroes & Pioneers The Weekender: Singapore
Book SynopsisThe Marina Bay Sand, the Changi Jewel and the fast-paced, high-rise city are what immediately comes to one's mind about Singapore. This is 'The Weekender's' first flight into the Asia Pacific region and this issue will present Singapore in a different and more laid-back perspective than you might be used to. However, it will still showcase the iconic architecture and landmarks that juxtapose with a melting pot of diverse heritages/cultures and remnants of the city-state's colonial past. And at the same, this issue explores the blurred boundaries between the old and the new, the hardscapes and the softscapes. From starting the weekend with breakfast at a local enclave, rich in history and culture, to wandering the grounds of the UNESCO Heritage listed Botanical Gardens and then ending the day sipping a cocktail along Keong Siak Road, a trendy neighbourhood littered with eateries and bars, Matthew aspires for the book to bring about a more local and intimate experience of what the city-state has to offer for a weekend getaway or a pit-stop to explore the rest of region. Whilst the flow of the book will incorporate the weekend trajectory, the mixture of content will mean that a reader is both influenced by Matthew's imagery of the city, without explicitly having to follow a specific route but allow them to adventure at will.Table of ContentsDay 1: - Arrive ( Changi + Jewel) - Check-in (Warehouse Hotel) - City Walk - Dinner at Laupasat - Drinks at Gibson Day 2: - Morning Yoga at Trapeze - Walk to breakfast passing chinatown - breakfast/coffee at punch - Fort canning - National Museum - Haircut (Hounds of Baskerville) - Back to hotel to wash up/ lobby drink - Dinner at Lumo Day 3: - Arab Street - Projector - Lunch at Coconut Club - Gardens by the Bay - Henderson Waves Day 4: - East Coast Shophouses - Sojao Shop - Botanical Gardens - Musuem of Ice Cream - Little India - Depart

Leuven University Press A Gust of Photo-Philia: Photography in the Art
Book SynopsisThe first transnational history of photography’s accommodation in the art museum Photography was long regarded as a “middle-brow” art by the art institution. Yet, at the turn of the millennium, it became the hot, global art of our time. In this book—part institutional history, part account of shifting photographic theories and practices—Alexandra Moschovi tells the story of photography’s accommodation in and as contemporary art in the art museum. Archival research of key exhibitions and the contrasting collecting policies of MoMA, Tate, the Guggenheim, the V&A, and the Centre Pompidou offer new insights into how art as photography and photography as art have been collected and exhibited since the 1930s. Moschovi argues that this accommodation not only changed photography’s status in art, culture, and society, but also played a significant role in the rebranding of the art museum as a cultural and social site. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).Trade ReviewIt retraces the history of how photography entered the art museum, a place where it initially did not have access to, and how this history has been a local as well as global phenomenon, as demonstrated by the five case studies that constitute the core of this book: MoMA, Tate, the Guggenheim, the V&A, and the Centre Pompidou. Moschovi unpacks these histories in great detail and a sharp eye for context, but also with great writing pleasure and craft, which makes her study almost a page-turner. [...] Moschovi succeeds in writing a new form of art history, with museums and photography as key players, which strikes the right balance between internal (artistic, historical) and external (political, financial, social) perspectives and concerns. Two or more worlds, perhaps, but the author gives us the best of them by bringing them together in this innovative study.Jan Baetens, Leonardo Reviews Archive, April 2021The result of two decades of research into art institutions’ engagement with photography in all its forms, this book is a detailed and archivally-engaged examination of photography’s accommodation in the art museum.Mary Pelletier, The Classic Platform, 26 May 2021Dans tous les cas, cet ouvrage est dense, certes, mais il n’intéressera pas que les amateurs de musées ou les spécialistes des institutions. C’est d’abord une histoire de l’histoire de la photographie. Stewen Corvez, Critique d’art [En ligne], 4 juni 2021, URL : http://journals.openedition.org/critiquedart/78003This is an important and interesting book. […] this book is a real contribution to exhibition histories and/or curatorial studies, with a particular focus on large national museums. […] Moschovi's attention to the tensions between modes, and their non-resolution as photography is established in each museum, is what makes this book so fascinating.Alison Green, Source, Issue 106, Autumn 2021https://www.source.ie/archive/issue106/is106contents.phpMit Alexandra Moschovis 'A Gust of Photo-Philia' liegt nun zum ersten Mal eine breit angelegte systematische Rekonstruktion dieser Ereignisse vor. Genau wie Grundberg konzentriert sich auch Moschovi auf das künstlerische Feld der Fotografie, im Unterschied zu ihm öffnet sie den Radius ihres Interesses aber weit über Manhattan hinaus: In fünf ausgedehnten Fallstudien, die je ein Kapitel des Buches ausmachen, zeichnet sie die Entwicklungen in fünf international renommierten Ausstellungshäusern nach: Neben dem MoMA und dem Guggenheim Museum in New York sind dies das Victoria and Albert und die Tate in London sowie das Musée National d’Art Modern im Pariser Centre Pompidou.Steffen Siegel, Bd. 3 Nr. 4 (2022): 21: Inquiries into Art, History, and the Visual.

The American University in Cairo Press Cairo Inside Out: Expanded Edition
Book SynopsisCairo is a city of splendor and spectacle, long celebrated as much for its warmth and bustling street life as for the legacy of its tumultuous past. Yet for the countless visitors who fall under its spell, the prolonged din of its crowds and traffic can seem overwhelming at times, tempting them out of the city’s open spaces into its shadow light, the cooler, quieter interiors of restaurants, homes, hotels, and terraces. Cairo Inside Out evokes the light and moods of this great metropolis with stunning photographs shot from the city’s indoor havens. We observe it through and from nostalgic haunts, such as Café Riche and the Windsor Hotel, and look out onto its great sights—the Nile, the Red Pyramid at Dahshur, Ibn Tulun mosque—from the most intimate urban interiors, homes, and watersides. For those who may have lived in Cairo, this is a reminder of a city that moves and yet remains wonderfully unchanged. For visitors and residents, this evocative collection, an unabashed homage to Cairo’s persistent color and allure, will inspire them to visit those places once more. This new expanded paperback edition of the bestselling hardback includes an additional section of photographs taken from Cairo's newer and more recently established haunts and places of interest.Trade Review"A super book." —Humphrey Davies, translator of The Yacoubian Building"Both Naylor and Dimitrova are experts in their field, but it is the combination of their crafts that creates the book’s aesthetic impact which is often breathtaking." —Sally Bland, Jordan Times"This book will send me on new adventures." —Andrew Cunningham, Arab Bankers Association“As Naylor presents the city, Dimitrova’s photos bring the text to life, creating a perfect seduction.” —Publishers Weekly"These carefully captured perspectives speak volumes without shouting."—AramcoWorld"Reveals the soul of the ancient city—beautiful, illusive, noisy, maddening, and teeming with life."—Foreword Reviews"In Cairo Inside Out, author Trevor Naylor offers respite in the Egyptian capital's architectural past, evoking the in-between places that anchor experiences in a metropolis marked by frenetic development and overlapping historical identities. It's part coffee-table book and part city guide, with vivid color photos capturing light-filled foyers, Nile houseboats, elevated vistas, grand hotels and storied cafes. The 'inside-out' framing situates the reader within the walls of landmarks like the Cafe Riche, Hotel Windsor and Ibn Tulun Mosque. Naylor's historical commentary and practical advice on how to sail on a felucca or haggle in the alleyways of Khan al-Khalili complement the experiential quality in Doriana Dimitrova's photography, captured over a year. Even the most cursory read inspires and equips prospective visitors. For Naylor, Cairo is a city not to be explored only for its current charms, but to be experienced by way of time travel to earlier points in its 1,000-year history, with buildings rather than people serving as his main cultural touchstones."--J.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Active Landscape Photography
Book SynopsisHow can photography be transformed into an active process of investigation for landscape architecture and environmental design? The second book in Godfrey's series, Active Landscape Photography, presents engaged photographic methods that turn photography into a rigorous, thoughtful endeavor for the research, planning and design of landscape places. Photography is the most ubiquitous and important form of representation in these disciplines. Yet photography is not specifically taught as a core skill within these fields. This book creates a starting point for filling this gap. Concepts and working methods from contemporary photography and critical cultural theories are contextualized into situations encountered in the daily practice of landscape architecture and environmental design. These methods can be integrated into practices in academic and professional settings or picked up and self-taught by an individual reader.

Antenne Books Limited Fin DAutomne
Book SynopsisThree journeys have given birth to Fin D''Automne; the first being a solitary one, in stages from Tokyo to Kagoshima, southernmost city in Japan. A voyage criss-crossing throughout the country, abandoned to fate and misfortunes, intuitions and stereotypes, seeking to comfort or distort the influence of books, tales, novels and films about the Japanese culture which made me yearn to travel here. I took me time to come to terms and embrace the photographs produced during this first trip. I returned to Japan in 2018 to reunite with Nanako whom I met in Paris and who would become my wife: This second journey was dedicated to her. Instead of wandering around we stayed in Tokyo, wilful castaways, living one day at a time. I followed her around, indifferent to Japan's singularity, penetrating the heart of her familiar spaces which kept eluding me. I found myself strolling in Naborito, which is either the name of a metro station, a borough or the river that runs through itI never found o
