BOOK INFO Hardcover, 7.5 X 9.5 In. / 88 Pages / 66 Color ISBN 9780989798112 List Price: $45.00 “...a beautiful photographic poem about being human and accepting our mortality.”, - Lenscratch, September 5, 2014"...both ominous and touching...", - Hyperallergic, November 1, 2014Photographs by Hiroshi Watanabe Text by Kristen Rian The latest body of work from California-based Japanese photographer Hiroshi Watanabe (born 1951), The Day the Dam Collapses consists-- unusually, for this artist--of digital photographs taken over the past five years since the birth of his son. Ranging in content from details of quotidian life to poetic visual metaphors, The Day the Dam Collapses paints the cycles of life as fleeting, fragile, and devastatingly ephemeral. In his introduction to the book, Watanabe writes: "the truth is, we are all living like the characters in a disaster movie. We know we may someday face a disaster or a terrible event, but we keep living calmly as we do not know what and when that might occur. But a disaster will surely come to us. And the largest disaster must be our death that we all have to face sometime in the future." Despite these looming intimations of mortality, Watanabe persists in recording and sharing a life fully felt.Text by Kirsten Rian. View Details

Soon, the projector roars to life, and the audience begins to laugh, whistle, and even dance as the latest Pakistani cinematic drama illuminates the big screen before them. In his new book, The Forbidden Reel, American-born photographer Jonathan Saruk documents the cinemas of Kabul-entertainment venues that were banned under the Taliban but have sputtered back to life since the US invasion 12 years ago. The Forbidden Reel provides an alternative narrative to life in this violence-plagued city, where going to the movies is, for many, an escape from the harsh reality that lies outside. View Details

From his opening statement: “A few days before Christmas, 2004, I was diagnosed with lymphoma. Some present. After each chemotherapy session I retreated to our home in the Catskills to recuperate. I began photographing around the house as I was too sick to go anywhere else. As my strength returned, my photographic universe slowly expanded. Shortly thereafter, Kodak discontinued production of Kodachrome. I loved Kodachrome, it helped shape my photographic vision. I filled my refrigerator and wine cooler with the stuff and kept shooting. I have outlived my film. A few days before Christmas, 2010, I exposed my last roll.” This compelling body of photographs provides a nuanced, first-person depiction of a cancer patient’s changing perspectives on life, death, art and the world at large.Featured in Mother Jones, The Guardian, Publishers Weekly, Photo District News, CNN Photo Blog, and Slate.com.

The images, created by Australia-based artist Judith Crispin in close consultation with indigenous people, document an attempt by the Warlpiri group to share sacred information with white people; the poems convey the artist's interpretation of those ideas, alongside her development of personal relationships with community elders.Judith Crispin returned to Australia in 2011 after living and working in Germany for several years. Since that time she has driven the 8000km round trip from her home in Canberra to the remote community of Lajamanu many times and established a close relationship with the Warlpiri community there.
