City Diary
None
Frenchkiss
World renowned phoptographer Anders Petersen explores the fringes of society with these haunting, documentary-style black-and-white photographs. The photographs found in this collection exude the poetic sadness, restlessness and sense of urgency that is characteristic of all of Petersen's work. The images are a raw, brutal and sometimes disturbing portrait of society set against the stunning backdrop of the south of France.

City Diary #1-7
Since the 1960s Anders Petersen has traveled extensively and photographed life beyond the margins of polite society for his acclaimed City Diaries. Petersen's is an indiscriminate and intensely empathetic eye, one shaped by a fundamental connection with those he photographs--"To me, it's all about people ... what they do, what they believe, their dreams, hopes, visions and virtues." His subjects, a world including prostitutes, transvestites, alcoholics and nighttime lovers--intimacy and conflict, joy and melancholy, clarity and ambiguity in equal measure--reveal his passion to identify and engage with subcultures and "life in the shadows," not merely to document them. To discover the gritty in the beautiful and the beautiful in the gritty, in impressionist images of deep blacks and stark contrasts which compellingly avoid cliché. Presenting photos made between 1967 and 2019, City Diary #1-7 contains all books in the series to date: re-prints of the first three--which received the Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation PhotoBook of the Year Award in 2012--alongside four new volumes.
Late Modern Subjectivity and its Discontents
This book analyses three of the most prevalent illnesses of late modernity: anxiety, depression and Alzheimer’s disease, in terms of their relation to cultural pathologies of the social body. Usually these conditions are interpreted clinically in terms of individualized symptoms and responded to discretely, as though for the most part unrelated to each other. However, these diseases also have a social and cultural profile that transcends their particular symptomologies and etiologies. Anxiety, depression and Alzheimer’s are diseases related to disorders of the collective esprit de corps of contemporary society. Multidisciplinary in approach, the book addresses questions of how these cond...

The Shabbiness of Beauty
The Shabbiness of Beauty' is a visual dialogue that crosses generational divides with the easy intimacy of a late-night phone call. Multidisciplinary artist Moyra Davey delved into Peter Hujar's archives and emerged mainly with little-known, scarcely seen images. In response to these, Davey created her own images that draw out an idiosyncratic selection of shared subjects. Side by side, the powerfully composed images admire, tease, and enhance one another in the manner of fierce friends, forming a visual exploration of physicality and sexuality that crackles with wit, tenderness, and perspicacity. Spiritually anchored in New York City, even as they range out to rural corners of Quebec and Pe...
