Vanished Summer
Vanished Summer, a stark and subtle photographic series by Icelandic artist Katrín Elvarsdóttir (born 1964), is inspired by author Gyrir Elíasson's texts on solitude. Containing more than 40 of her often melancholy photographs, Vanished Summer also features a poetic text by Harpa Árnadóttir and a cover that unfolds into a poster.
Equivocal
Although the photographs of Katrín Elvarsdóttir (born 1964) are derived from locales in Hungary, Poland, Iceland, Denmark and the United States, they participate in a single world of deserted kitchens, dimly lit rooms and luminous curtains, punctuated occasionally by portraits of tremendous, stark candor. This volume records Elvarsdóttir's world in more than 40 color photographs.

Monsanto
As a manufacturer of food and animal feed, seeds and chemical products, Monsanto is relentlessly developing and marketing new technologies. The monopoly it has arguably secured by dubious means bears no relation to its negligence with regard to potential risks. Particularly in light of the devastating consequences that are still causing suffering to people and the environment in many places, the company's self-portrayal as a forward-looking, omnipotent force for good seems cynical. The photographer Mathieu Asselin, who lives in France and Venezuela, has tried his hand at the daunting task of exploring the issues surrounding Monsanto. His investigative photographic study manages to capture the complexity of this topic, creating links between past, present and future and illuminating many different aspects from a variety of perspectives.
American Realities
In 2010, more Americans lived below the poverty line than at any time since 1959, when the U.S. Census Bureau began collecting this data. In 2011, Kira Pollack, Director of Photography at 'TIME', commissioned photographer Joakim Eskildsen to capture the growing crisis, affecting nearly 46.2 million Americans. Based on census data, the places with the highest poverty rates were chosen when Eskildsen, together with journalist Natasha del Toro, traveled to New York, California, Louisiana, South Dakota, and Georgia over seven months to document the lives of the people behind the statistics. The people Joakim Eskildsen has portrayed are people who struggle to make ends meet, who have lost their jobs or homes, and often live in unhealthy conditions. They usually remain invisible in the American society to which the myth of the American Dream is still very strong. Many of the people held there was no such dream anymore, merely the American Reality.

He is So Obsessed with Me
'He is so obsessed with me' is a personal and expressive portrayal of the everyday life of a single Finnish woman approaching her forties. The author is a photographer, who does not have children and who lives on her own. She photographed her life for one year, spontaneously and without staging. The book consists of 350 pages and 350 pictures. The book is a combination of fact and fiction. The photos are documentary and "true" captures of various situations, whereas the photographic narrative is held together by the imaginary He. He represents the look of someone else, of an imagined person, through whose eyes the main character is viewed, or photographed.
