Long Live the Glorious May 7 Directive

Errata Editions 2017 ISBN 9781935004424 Acqn 26310
Hb 19x24cm 140pp 130ills col 32.50
Long Live the Glorious May 7 Directive, published in 1971, is one of the key propaganda
photobooks of Chairman Mao Zedongs infamous Cultural Revolution. Illustrated with both colour
and black-and-white photographs taken by uncredited photographers, the book extols the virtues
of Maos communist ideology and purports to document the joyful, industrious effects of these
ideas in action.
In Long Live the Glorious May 7 Directive, smiling workers and peasants read together from
Maos Little Red Book of quotations, stalwart soldiers march in unending ranks and Chinese
fighter pilots conquer the open skies. Of course, history remembers the realities of Maos Cultural
Revolution quite differently.
Long Live the Glorious May 7 Directive is now extremely rare; Errata Editions Books on Books 20
presents this fascinating volume in its entirety with essays by Liu Ding, Carol Yinghua Lu and
Shuxia Chen.

Mario Garcia Joya - A la Plaza Con Fidel

Errata Editions 2017 ISBN 9781935004400 Acqn 26311
Hb 19x25cm 80pp 50ills 32.50
A la plaza con Fidel (To the plaza with Fidel) is doubly rare among Cuban photobooks: relatively
few photobooks were produced in Cuba after the Revolution, and A la plaza con Fidel is also
notable for its unique subject matter. Photographed between 1959 and 1966 and published in
1970 by leading Cuban photographer and cinematographer Mayito (Mario Garca Joya, born
1938), the book focuses on Fidel Castros supporters and the festive atmosphere of the
Revolution. Castro would mark important moments of the Revolution, when either revelry or
reassurance was called for, with public addresses delivered in Havanas Plaza de la Revolucin;
to the plaza with Fidel became a refrain of the Revolution.
The 21st volume in Errata Editions Books on Books series, this edition of A la plaza con Fidel
presents this little-known book in its entirety, with essays by photography curator Leandro Villaro.

Michael Wolf - Hong Kong Coat Hangers

Peperoni Books 2016 ISBN 9783941249080 Acqn 27206
Hb 16x21cm 80pp 58col ills 32.75
Bent, curled, twisted apart, or strung neatly in chains and rows, coat hangers of every colour
inhabit the narrow back streets and hidden alleyways of Hong Kong. Photographer Michael Wolf
sought out these ubiquitous metropolitan denizens for his new series, seemingly trying to
discover how many ways this simple piece of wire can be used. Besides functioning as a device
on which to hang things socks, shoes, gloves, towels, baskets, combs, plastic bags, your lunch
the humble coat hanger can also hold a latch closed, stretch a cable, block a valve from turning,
or even keep other coat hangers safe. The book offers a fascinating and fresh look at an often
under appreciated object.

Hb 30x36cm 104pp 31col ills 80
Heavily drawing on her interest in portraiture, Desire Dolrons latest series intertwines digital
post-production with contemporary art photography. The intentionality of her approach is
palpable; every decision regarding technique and form is meticulously considered in the pictorial
construction of these darkly introverted and strangely timeless photographs. The models inhabit a
tranquil and withdrawn realm of near-perfect compositions. Beautifully crafted in a hybridised
visual language that masterfully blurs the traditional disciplinary boundaries between painting and
photography, analogue and digital. With book design by Irma Boom Office.

Olivo Barbieri - Italian Quakes. Gibellina And Other Diseases

Montanari 2016 ISBN 9788898120963 Acqn 27083
Part of Olivo Barbieris larger project site specific_, which offers a new way to comprehend the
language of cities, stimulating reflection on how urban space can be rethought, redesigned, and
rebuilt in an incessant cycle of death and rebirth, Italian Quakes introduces the element of
natural disasters to the analysis. Launching from Gibellina, a small city in central Sicily that was
destroyed by the 1968 Belice earthquake, the book explores the landscape as an autonomous
object that experiences traumas. Urban shocks and rifts can appear similar, even if the causes
are human actions economic crisis, war, illegal construction, etc. leaving lasting wounds on
the living body of cities.

Science Of The Secondary 8 Socks

"Among the many clothing types in our wardrobe, none leads a more unappreciated existence
than the sock. Wavering between undergarment and outerwear, the staggering amount of
pressure and force applied to the sock each time we take a step forward attests to its silent
resilience. It is thus, not without irony, that the common definition of quality socks lies precisely in
how little we take notice of its presence; a good pair of socks becomes one that is absent when
worn on the feet..."

In his extensive career as a photojournalist, Thomas Hoepker has travelled around the world and
documented many dramatic and confronting situations for magazines and newspapers. Yet he

see from the corner of your eye None of the images in this book have been arranged, all of
them just happened. The extensive collection of human comedy stumbled upon through careful

Barbara Bosworth & Margot Anne Kelley - The Meadow

Radius Books 2016 ISBN 9781934435960 Acqn 25281
Emily Dickinson wrote that all it takes to make a prairie is "one clover, and a bee. / And revery." It
turns out that to know a prairie (or meadow) is a bit more complicated, as photographer Barbara
Bosworth and writer Margot Anne Kelley have discovered. For more than a decade, Bosworth
and Kelley have meandered in, studied and photographed a single meadow in Carlisle,
Massachusetts. In addition to their own investigations, they have invited botanists, entomologists,
naturalists and historians to consider the meadow with them. Also included are historic maps of
the property dating to the 1800s, and a transcription of notes from a former owner whose family
has continuously documented plant and bird life in the meadow from 1931 until the 1960s.
Part photo-essay, part journal and part scientific study, this book is a meditation on the shifting
perspective that occurs when one repeatedly sees the same place through new eyes.

Paul Hutchinson Schmetterlinge

The Green Box 2017 ISBN 9783941644908 Acqn 27129
Pb 16x22cm 48pp 33col ills 7.95
Following up on Wildlife Photography, Schmetterlinge is the second volume of a series of small-

scale publications which Paul Hutchinson conceived in collaboration with The Green Box. In
these books Hutchinson looks at seemingly banal situations and circumstances that, however
disregarded, carry a deeper meaning and noteworthiness to the artist.
Inspired by the butterflies magical realism in-midst of the grey structures of east Asian
cityscapes, Hutchinson creates images of a seemingly absurd beauty which question the
conventional borders of fiction and reality. We see butterflies surrounded by plants and abstract
shapes, collaged with manga-themes and QR-codes, next to cigarettes, iPhones and plastic
bottles. By applying a playful thought to the act of image-making, Hutchinson opens up a space in
which this well known subject can be interpreted fully anew. These images, created through
performative actions, evoke their very own sense of aesthetics and bare witness to the urban-
poetic feel which is inherent to Hutchinsons work.

Pb 26x36cm 64pp 42ills 61
In photographer Yoshinori Mizutani's new series, a follow up to Tokyo Parrots, his camera is
again drawn to the birds that make their presence known in the city. The stark, black-on-white
images capture large numbers of cormorants, which have apparently exploded in population in
Tokyos suburbs. The very graphic compositions transform the urban landscape of power lines
and the steel lattice towers that carry them into a seemingly two-dimensional picture. The flocks
of cormorants strung along the wires overhead become beautifully abstract yet ominous
silhouettes that often resemble musical notes on a score.

In his twenties Daido Moriyama spent a short period wandering the streets of Kobe. Particularly
drawn to the harbour, he delighted in watching countless ships being loaded, walking around the
foreign settlements in Yamate and Kitanocho, or helping to print souvenir pictures at a small
photo shop. For an exhibition of his work at the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art in 2016,
Moriyama was asked to dedicate a section to his Kobe photos. Discovering he had surprisingly
few, considering his affection for the city, he decided to take more. Travelling back in time to
chase that romantic dream of his youth, he discovered a completely different place, but one
nevertheless just as thrilling.

Rob Becker - Ballet In The Studio

Lecturis 2016 ISBN 9789462262065 Acqn 27099
Hb 24x34cm 194pp 179ills 167col 54
Rob Beckers portraits of dancers, ballet masters, and choreographers from around the world
show them in their most natural environment: the dance studio. It goes without saying that these
often bare rooms, far removed from the stage, lights, costumes, make-up, and roles, are where
they spend the majority of their working lives. The images reflect the creativity of the moment,
offering a rare glimpse into the private realm beyond the performance or rehearsal. In
photographs of poses and movements, as well as close-up, intimate and more candid shots of
the dancers, Becker deftly frames the personalities and great athletic strength of these
remarkable individuals.

Stefano Carnelli Transumanza

Transumanza is the seasonal movement of livestock between summer and winter pastures. The
tradition is still practiced by a small group of shepherds in Lombardy, who move their flocks from
the Alps to the P Valley and back. Unexpectedly, the economic force driving this phenomenon is
no longer the wool trade, but the rising demand for sheeps meat from a growing community of
Muslim immigrants. Stefano Carnellis photographic project follows the displacement of
shepherds and their livestock in an alternative mapping of this complex and often conflictive
relation between a marginal nomadic community and the highly urbanised region it cyclically
passes through.

photography, paintings and graphic design. Snow White collects snow-scene photographs taken
from 1978 to 2004. These black and white images of deep drifts, dogs and bare trees on snowy

hatless and coatless, happy as a child.

Amana 2016 ISBN 9784865872934 Acqn 27145
Peek-a-boo is a book that uses augmented reality (AR), a technology designed to enhance our
perception of reality. By transforming or augmenting reality, it opens the door to a world that does
not exist in our own. The book requires an iPhone and a downloaded app to take full advantage
of what it offers. Once the app is installed, hold your iPhone camera in front of the photograph or
image on each page and follow the instructions. New perceptions will manifest by rotating, tilting,
holding still, moving closer or further away, or tapping the screen. With photographs by Yuji
Hamada and AR design by Matilde.
