Kristina Williamson - One Year on Kythera

One Year on Kythera
Kristina Williamson
Foreword by John Stathatos
160 Pages
25 x 37 cm (9.8 in x 14.6 in)
$49.00 USA / €39.00 EU / £39.00 UK

"Kristina Williamson explores the intersection of art, ethnography, and globalization in her close study of the Greek island of Kythera. In intimate photographs that cut across genres—landscapes, portraits, interiors—Williamson explores themes of memory and tradition in the faces of those who stay and the absences of those who leave. These images—shot in gorgeous 35mm film—eschew nostalgia and often probe deeper to a level of the everyday surreal, an ongoing theme in Williamson’s work."

"On June 17, weather channels reported that the heat record dating back to august 23, 1944 was bound to be broken. Despite grey skies and limited sun so far, on June 19, the mercury was bound to rise past the current Dutch record of 38.6 celsius. That morning, all beach chairs were already put out across the shore of Scheveningen, The Netherland's most central beach. Bar owners were expecting sunbathers to finally fill the spots. However, the boulevard disappeared into the mist that morning."

Alfonso Calero - Tsukiji Market

Tsukiji Market
An involuntary Tourist Phenomenon
Written by Ken Banwell
Photography by Alfonso Calero
62 pages 18  x 18 mm
Offset printing
AUD $25 (Free Worldwide Delivery)

 "Tokyo Fish Market" is a self commissioned project by me and my good friend Ken, the writer. We felt the need to produce this book as there are plans to demolish this historic market and relocate to another site in Tokyo, where a new market is currently under initial stages of construction. Access to the auction & wholesale areas has become very difficult recently and tourists are under strict orders not to disturb any of the locals as they go about their business in a highly energized environment with very limited space. Their patience for rubber-necked tourists can wear thin but despite this most are very accommodating. This book is filled with loads of great images that are quite difficult to capture for those not skilled in the art of photography in this type of environment. The book contains valuable statistical and historical information provided by Ken, a tuna broker here on the market for over 20 years."

"On 31 January 2013 at about 3:45pm local time, an explosion occurred in the basement of a parking garage adjacent to the main office building of the Pemex Executive Tower in Mexico City, killing 37 people and injuring over 120 more. This photobook, part of a new SSK Press series that debuted at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA for the 2014 Los Angeles Art Book Fair, is a collection of images created the days before and after the blast on a one-week trip to Mexico City. The images were developed using a series of experimental processes involving boiling water, excessive agitation, and intentional fluorescent exposure, which, along with the melted mylar cover and charcoal dusted on each page, gives the book a feeling as though one were looking through the wreckage of an anonymous sea of fire."

"During 2012 I walked over 3,500 kilometres with the aim of creating a body of work which would explore the idea of long-distance walking as a form of meditation and personal transformation. My intention was to create a series of quiet, meditative images, which would evoke the experience of being immersed in nature and capture the essence of the journey. The images seek to engage the viewer in this walk, and to communicate a sense of the subtle internal and psychological changes which one may undergo while negotiating the landscape."

"Junrei (巡礼 / Pilgrimage)follows the loose narrative of a journey, both physical, from England to Japan, and emotional as a series of personal experiences following an innate gravitation towards Japanese culture. The series of fragmented snapshots hint at the process of travelling yet offer neither an indication of a final destination nor an explanation of anything achieved. Dealing with the conflict between estrangement and comfort found in the isolation from the culture and places visited, the series is motivated by the spiritual pilgrimages common in the cultures represented."

I go to a bar, I sit down, stumble my way through ordering a beer in whatever language is spoken (often with lots of hand gesturing) and take a look around. Inevitably, I end up with a similar scene in front of me: a couple fighting, a couple in love, an awkward date, an older man alone. [...]" – Gabi Manga

"In less than 200 years man has altered life on earth forever. The Anthropocene is the new geological age, an age in which the human species has become the prevailing geophysical force dominating all other natural forces that have hitherto impacted upon the earth. (….) The fact that humanity has become the dominant force for the planet augurs the death of this idea of nature and, paradoxically, dissolves the frontier that has hitherto separated us from the natural world. Ours is now a world rid at last of the very idea of nature; a purely artificial world, innocent, fragile and hazardous. Eden is right here and now. To accept this idea is to accept a kind of serene jubilation before the enigmatic beauty of a world in decay."

"Leith is the port and waterfront of the city of Edinburgh, and like many similar areas in other cities it has undergone major redevelopment in recent years. The landscape has a strong industrial and historical feel, but dramatic regeneration has seen office blocks, shopping complexes and luxury flats radically change the skyline. For me, this contrast makes it a fascinating place to wander and observe – a landscape of constant change, with diverse architectural styles and building types alongside open areas of land in transition. This series of photographs, taken between 2010 and 2013, aims to explore the effects of these rapid changes on the landscape of Leith."

Combining old photos and flower petals I destroy the original images of people in the photographs and make them anonymous.

The concept of this work is fragility and disappearance."

The first part of the trilogy, America Sutra, was published in 2012 and is a photographic journey through the United States; the third part, Songs of the Road, is a soundtrack of original text spoken and sung by the artist and will be released later this year."
