In Almost Every Picture
This book displays chronologically the passport photographs of one woman, collected over sixty years. The woman in the photographs demarcrated her life in these black and white images, declaring her existence (even if only to herself). This work is a minimalist autobiography, compressing a lifetime into just 75 extremely similar photographs.
Useful Photography
Fashion design is not a category usually associated with war, but in fact it is a consideration that all war-mongers must take into account when they are planning battles, be they naval or air, military or rebel, national or international. Every country in the world has its own camouflage--can you tell from the various patterns which country is trying to hide from you? "Useful Photography No. 4: The War Special" exhibits what different countries wear when they go to war and the products that keep them hidden on the front lines.

The Many Lives of Erik Kessels
The Many Lives of Erik Kessels presents the highly anticipated first illustrated survey of this pioneering and influential curator, editor, and artist whose varied experiments with photography and photographic archives have allowed us to reconsider the medium's vernacular and narrative possibilities in today's inundated image landscape. People consume photographs, says Kessels, they don't look at them anymore. This volume is a primer on how to look--and how to better understand the hybrid practice of this artist who defies categorization. Including more than twenty of the artist's series and features essays by Simon Baker, Hans Aarsman, and curator Francesco Zanot, The Many Lives of Erik Kessels is published in conjunction with a major midcareer retrospective at CAMERA-Centro Italiano per la Fotografia in Turin, Italy.
Erik Kessels and Thomas Sauvin: Talk Soon
A wordless, quarantined dialogue in flipbook form Every day, throughout that tumultuous spring of 2020, Dutch artist Erik Kessels (born 1966) and French artist Thomas Sauvin (born 1983) sent one another idiosyncratic, uncaptioned photographs, catalyzing an organic, free-associative exchange of some 120 archival images. Atelier Éditions' author Kingston Trinder then composed an equally free-associative, altogether-whimsical narrative with which to further entwine the duo's eclectic photographs. These two archives of vernacular photography, one from the East, the other from the West, achieve a dialogue through the recurrence of photographic practices, aesthetics and subjects. Talk Soon, a tearaway postcard book with a spiral binding, allows readers to endlessly juxtapose the delightful photographs selected by the two quarantined artists.
Failed It!

Human Zoo
The zoological museum in Riga has a beautiful collection of animals, fossils and taxi-derma. Visitors get a clear and compact overview of what life in nature has to offer. From skeletons of large animals, a large collection of birds and shells, to the smallest insects, you can find them all in this compact museum. We as humans look at these displayed species full of curiosity and wonder. We are always surprised what kind of weird and wonderful surprises nature bring us. But aren?t humans filled with the same kind of strange and curious behavior? Aren?t we also some kind of ?strange animals??0Erik Kessels made an intervention in the zoological museum with a series of his collected, found and ...
Tables to Meet
Three men named Erik have planned to meet for a long time. The problem is that one Erik lives in The Netherlands, one in Germany, and one in Brazil. So the Eriks began exchanging pictures of tables; each one a possible table at which to meet. Many, many pictures of tables later, and the Eriks still haven't met. It's unlikely they ever will.
