Imperial Courts, 1993-2015
In 1992, Dana Lixenberg travelled to South Central Los Angeles for a magazine story on the riots that erupted following the verdict in the Rodney King trial. What she encountered inspired her to revisit the area, and led her to the community of the Imperial Courts housing project in Watts. Returning countless times over the following twenty-two years, Lixenberg gradually created a collaborative portrait of the changing face of this community. Over the years, some in the community were killed, while others disappeared or went to jail, and others, once children in early photographs, grew up and had children of their own. In this way, Imperial Courts constitutes a complex and evocative record of the passage of time in an underserved community.
Apartheid & After
Printed to accompany an exhibition of thirteen participating photographers at Huis Marseille in Amsterdam, this catalogue explores the multi-faceted phenomenon of South African visual culture, both during apartheid and in its aftermath. Along with critical readings by Sean OToole and Els Barents, it presents work by David Goldblatt, Santu Mofokeng, Jo Ractliffe, Daniel Naudé, Mikhael Subotzky, Sabelo Mlangeni, Paul Alberts, Hugh Exton, Pieter Hugo, Zanele Muholi, Guy Tillim, Paul Weinberg, Graeme Williams. The images reveal how powerfully the recent past can colour our perception of the present, and how being a photographer in South Africa requires a sober, articulate and skilled approach to the nations burden of memory, trauma and guilt.
Shores Like You
Scarlett Hooft Graafland (1973) creates magical photographic images in far-flung places, including the high-altitude salt flats in Bolivia, remote farm sheds in Iceland, the beaches of Yemen, Madagascar, the polar region, and the Dutch village of Gorinchem. Her work touches upon major themes such as the disappearance of traditional cultures and the fragility of nature, yet the tone is always light, colourful, and surreal. Initially, Graafland mainly took pictures to document her sculptures and performances, but her photographs gradually became works of art themselves. Travelling to remote places and cultures, she explores the relationship between people, traditions, and nature. In this new monography, beautifully designed by Irma Boom, traveling and discovering become important themes themselves. Graafland's work is included in several international museum collections and has been exhibited in venues including Huis Marseille in Amsterdam and the Museum of Photography in Seoul. This book provides an overview of her oeuvre.

Illuminance
In 2001, Rinko Kawauchi launched her career with the simultaneous publication of three astonishing photobooksUtatane, Hanabi, and Hanakofirmly establishing her as one of the most innovative newcomers to contemporary photography, not just in Japan, but across the globe. In the years that followed, she published other notable monographs, including Aila (2004), The Eyes, the Ears (2005), and Semear (2007). And now, ten years after her precipitous entry onto the international stage, Aperture is delighted to publish Illuminance, the latest volume of Kawauchis work and the first to be published outside of Japan. Kawauchis work has frequently been lauded for its nuanced palette and offhand composit...
Cristóbal Hara
Autobiography, the second volume of a trilogy (following An Imaginary Spaniard, 2004), puts images of contemporary Spain through the emotional filters of Hara's childhood. The result digs deep into Spanish culture and into the cultural background of his generation.
