Grey Cobalt
Grey Cobalt' by Felicia Honkasalo bases itself around a collection of artefacts steeped in the landscape and history of her native Finland. In a sequence of delicately arranged images, 'Grey Cobalt' contains both a meditation on the legacy left by her metallurgist grandfather and a larger, sweeping narrative of how different orders of time and memory impress themselves upon the land, like a palimpsest. Now ?rearranged and newly ordered, like a cabinet of curiosities?, together these images form a tactile experience of a lost world. Honkasalo creates multiple narratives from seemingly disparate objects, forming alternative cosmologies from her own observations and sense of the distant past. A...
Sitkeä Jussi
Suomalaisen elokuvan tarina Jussi-palkinnon silmin. Sota-aikana syntynyt palkinto on ollut useasti uhattuna, mutta aina se on noussut takaisin juhlistamaan suomalaista elokuvaa ja sen tähtiä Regina Linnanheimosta Krista Kososeen ja Matti Kassilasta Aki Kaurismäkeen. Jussi-palkinto syntyi halusta juhlia, kun maailma ympärillä paloi. Vuoden 1944 prameiden juhlallisuuksien jälkeen Jussi-gaala on peilannut suomalaista elokuvaa. Palkintoja on jaettu juhlasaleissa ja teattereissa mutta myös työväenopistossa ja auditoriossa. Suomalaisen elokuvan historiaan mahtuu huippuvuosia ja totaalista alakuloa, pidäkkeetöntä iloa ja repiviä riitoja. Jusseja on pokattu smokeissa ja farkuissa. Gaala...
Showcaller
Showcaller' is the first book exploring the work of emerging artist Talia Chetrit. It brings together a broad range of her work made between 1994 and 2018 and is linked to a retrospective museum exhibition at the Kölnischer Kunstverein in early 2018. The title 'Showcaller' is a theatrical term which references the performative aspects of Chetrit's work, the power dynamic between subject and photographer, and, ultimately, between the photographer and her audience. The earliest works included were made when Chetrit was a teenager and she adroitly collapses and shuffles images from across 24 years and neutralizes the space between family portraits, teenage friends, intimate sex pictures, self-...

Half Awake and Half Asleep in the Water
This series of images by Japanese photographer Asako Narahashi has been exhibited in Japan to wide acclaim; this monograph marks its first publication in book form. The photographs were made while the artist stood chest-deep in the ocean facing the shoreline; through them she accomplishes the extraction of the viewer's mind from its surrounding, and one finally succumbs to the hallucinatory power of the ocean. In the words of photographic historian, Kotaro Iizawa, "the feeling of being stranded, however, is strangely comforting."

Leisure and Death
This anthropological study examines the relationship between leisure and death, specifically how leisure practices are used to meditate upon—and mediate—life. Considering travelers who seek enjoyment but encounter death and dying, tourists who accidentally face their own mortality while vacationing, those who intentionally seek out pleasure activities that pertain to mortality and risk, and those who use everyday leisure practices like social media or dogwalking to cope with death, Leisure and Death delves into one of the most provocative subsets of contemporary cultural anthropology. These nuanced and well-developed ethnographic case studies deal with different and distinct examples of ...
