Back in stock! Anchor in the Landscape (Signed) by Rafael Gonzalez and Adam Broomberg

The olive tree is a totem of Palestinian identity, culture, and resistance. It supports the livelihoods of more than 100,000 Palestinian families, is a centre of traditions and identities, and has long been a target of destruction and theft. Since 1967, 800,000 Palestinian olive trees have been destroyed by Israeli authorities and settlers. Over the past eighteen months, photographers Adam Broomberg and Rafael Gonzalez have been photographing olive trees in the Occupied Territories of Palestine, many of which are thousands of years old. This book brings together their studied, absorbing portraits of these trees, which act as fixed points in a historic and transforming landscape that is constantly disputed, altered, and increasingly destroyed. Each portrait bears witness to the presence and resilience of the Palestinian people and their relationship with the land.

Back in stock: 4 Sides of the Table by Ruth Lauer Manenti

It is about the time it takes for light to pass through a room, to eat a loaf of bread, or for someone to die. I know I will not live forever. One day there will only be traces of my life left. I too will be fleeting like the light of the sun coming through my window appearing on a piece of glass. Paying attention to all that is passing I know that death is approaching.

4 Sides of The Table was made from 2022-24. In the spring of 2017, I was with my mother in an empty room. The light of the sun was shining through the windows. Her best friend June was at her bedside reading poetry aloud. My mother died a few hours later. Since I could no longer take pictures of my mother, it seemed natural to me to photograph June. I photographed her hands, her legs, from the back, from the front, partial views etc. feeling I could convince myself she was my mother more easily by photographing her in parts rather than in showing her whole figure. During the months that I was visiting June, her daughter unexpectedly passed away. I thought after that she might not want to continue our time together taking pictures, but she did. The camera gave us the freedom we needed to imagine we belonged to each other.

Fishworm by Pia Paulina Guilmoth & Jesse Bull Saffire

We've just restocked a few copies online!

For the past seven years, Pia Paulina Guilmoth and Jesse Bull Saffire have been scavenging within a sixty-mile orbit of their home: abandoned houses collapsing into the earth, mould-streaked cardboard boxes, the hunting camp at the end of the road, a politician’s discarded gay p**n collection, yard sale leftovers, a junk-shop beside the waterfall. Family photos, town reports, forgotten newspapers — fragments of lives slipping out of memory.

“Everything was done on a beat-up Xerox machine we found sitting in the rain outside the fire department on Heavy Dump Day, 2024. The pages are a rearranged scrambled up history of old mill towns and pine-shadowed villages, somewhere between antique and Y2K. Debris and rituals, chaos and celebration, mildew and domestic comfort.”

Venezuelan Youth by Silvana Trevale

Produced between 2016 and 2025, Venezuelan Youth is Silvana Trevale’s contribution to her homeland: a testament that distances itself from portrayals of crises to offer a sensitive and profound view of the complexities of Venezuelan identity as seen through the eyes of its youth.

Yet how do you document a place that many dismiss as a ruin even while it teems with life? For Silvana, the eventual answer was to capture children and adolescents who embody incredible light even during difficult circumstances, so that she might transform the trauma of having left her country into a tribute to the strength of those who still remain. In this way, she’s created a book that reflects the Venezuela that truly exists: “the one I love deeply, a wounded and fearful country, but one that still breathes hope.”

S*x, Clubs, Dissent: Visualising Q***r Nightlife by Amelia Abraham

S*x, Clubs, Dissent charts an expansive visual history of q***r nightlife through the lens of photographers, filmmakers, and artists. Edited by author Amelia Abraham, the book explores how image-making has fostered, and at times jeopardised, the formation of q***r practices, subcultures, and forms of resistance. It asks what our decades-long quest to catalogue and understand nightlife spaces through photography and film can tell us about our various relationships with them, and how photography intersects with pleasure, politics, and protest.

As much as an assertion that ‘we were here’, images of q***r nightlife – real or otherwise – can be erotic, amusing, alienating, violent, or exuberantly joyful, moving us to seek out our own dancefloor, strip club, or sauna. Rather than a comprehensive catalogue or chronology of q***r nightlife, S*x, Clubs, Dissent is a love letter to those who went out and stayed out, felt the urge to document or reflect what was happening, or who have used their artmaking to dream new modes of being into existence.

With essays and conversations by Amelia Abraham, Brontez Purnell, McKenzie Wark, Rene Matić and Ajamu X, Jack Parlett, Tavia Nyong’o, Adam Zmith, Sita Balani and Sunil Gupta, Ariel Goldberg, Sweatmother, Asa Seresin, and Legacy Russell and Tourmaline

Back in stock! American Images by Dana Lixenberg

Spanning more than three decades, ‘American Images’ presents a nuanced exploration of contemporary American society through photographer Dana Lixenberg’s editorial portraits, plus a selection of her most significant projects. From the emblematic Imperial Courts, initiated in the aftermath of the 1992 Watts uprising, to her portraits in Jeffersonville (Indiana) and Shishmaref (Alaska), Lixenberg captures the essence of humanity across diverse and complex contexts. Her images transcend mere appearance; they tell stories of inequality, identity, and resilience.

Lonely Are All The Bridges by Robin Hinsch

’Lonely Are All the Bridges’ is not a war book. Not exactly. It is a portrait of a place and its people—where systems have collapsed, where borders have been redrawn again and again.’ – Robin Hinsch

The images in Lonely Are All the Bridges were made in Ukraine by Robin Hinsch over a period of more than a decade. The photographer first visited Ukraine in 2010, intrigued by the description of the then President Viktor Yanukovych as ‘the new dictator between East and West’. His sustained interest in this complex country compelled him to return many times to photograph both the landscape and the people he encountered. His images are unlike pictures of Ukraine seen in the news, presenting instead a melancholic vision of country caught between a contested past, a brutal present and an uncertain future.

‘This is not a story of heroes and villains. It’s about the slow, grinding forces that tear societies apart and the fragile, sometimes ambivalent human threads that try to hold them together.’

The photographs show Soviet ruins and historical monuments alongside misty, rain-soaked or snowy landscapes. The people in the pictures are carefully positioned within these environments—workplaces, homes, fields, ruins and battlefields. The images are both monochrome and colour, the latter subdued by a grey sky. This stylistic choice, in tandem with the presentation of the photographs in the book without captions alongside, hints that they are from a different yet indistinct era, and untethered from time.
