«Know More» –
by Norbert Bayer,
32 pages,
18,5 cm x 23,7 cm,
Risography print by Ourpress,
1st edition 300 copies,
2012
Publisher’s Description:
«Know More» is the name of an artist book by Norbert Bayer. Know What? No More? It reads like a Surrealist novel minus the text, which is to say it does not read like a novel exactly but like a mysterious fictionalization of life, or like an unveiling of the wondrous qualities that life actually has — if you are able to access them. A series of photographs present an odd succession of images that compel one to string them together in a sort of rhyme: plant fronds, feathered metallic ground, the edge of nothingness, the edge of a cornice, a battered coffee table, the people at the party… plants in a window, plants in a market… a curtain curled up with its shadow, two bananas spooning, a pair of shoes with their tongues hanging out. From beginning to end, each image is framed in Masonic mystery by a diamond that seems to zero in on something. But on what? And why? It’s a game Bayer has played himself, and each viewer must play it in turn, uniquely. It will never end the same way twice.

Collected: self portrait is a self-published book of found photographs, which capture the presence of their photographer through shadows and reflections.

Singular Beauty.
Photographs by Cara Phillips.
2012.
208 pp., color illustraitons throughout,
8½x10¼”.
Publisher’s Description:
Beauty stalks us with a condescending eye. From television screens to magazines, shop windows to billboards, there is hardly a face or figure that hasn’t been trimmed, polished, or reinvented to beleaguer us with an increasingly unattainable paradigm of physical beauty. Here Cara Phillips explores the reassuring environments and ominous implements of cosmetic surgery. The book provides a voyeuristic view into the pristine temples of physical transformation while simultaneously offering an insightful critique of our culture of narcissism.

Leer is an ordinary town somewhere in Germany. You can find ordinary people here, just like everywhere else.

Assembly & Production - April Wilkins
Printed on Red River and Canson archival papers
Publisher’s Description:
About the project and pre-order (please read before purchasing):
Blisner, Ill. is a book project that provides an account of what happened in and what remains of a single Rust Belt town during the process of deindustrialization. Every page is being printed individually, using fully archival media and every book is assembled, cut, and bound by hand. The cover features an image inlay and text inlaid on the spine (photos are currently unavailable of this for the pre-order). The pre-order edition is being offered at cost - each of these books cost me and Columbia College roughly $150 to make (material and labor costs strictly for the production). Later edition copies will cost more. All shipping will go through Fedex to minimize delivery problems. This book was published with the gracious support of Columbia College Chicago Photography Department’s Digital Artist in Residence Program, Red River Paper, and Moab Paper. For more information about the project, download this text that was used as an exhibition proposal.
All buyers will receive the newsprint edition (48 pages, black and white, different edit) for free when it is released in early October!

“As I Was Following You”
Publisher’s Description:
Coming to grips with a shattered reality, I tried to make an excursion into the uncertainties of urban life, playing with the echo of imaginary world. My subjects accept the failure of order; they sense their own inability to control the world and yet, they keep trying.

Who Dares Wins
By Stephen Wooldridge
Digital Colour print
289mm x 380mm
Edition of 300
Newspaper
28PP
Project Description:
Who dares wins is a fictional portrayal of four young men preparing for a career with the British Army. The series is a comment on both the Armed Forces and society, politically and socially. Using these autonomous characters, the viewer is prompted to consider these young men as individuals and as a representation of the British Army today. The series is at times absurd, dull and melancholic. Such are the lives of these individuals.
