Brice Gelot: Archives Book Vol.1

Renowned photographer Brice Gelot is proud to announce the release his first Archives book. This stunning volume offers a captivating journey through his lens, showcasing his unique perspective and profound artistic vision, featuring a carefully curated selection of his most iconic works,

This first archival book represents much more than a simple compilation of images. This book embodies, on the one hand, an attempt to present his thematic work in a tangible and chronological manner, but also to observe an evolution over the volumes. It is an authentic dive into his universe, at the heart of street culture, far from tourist clichés, approaching its dark, intangible side, often invisible, sometimes hidden, or masked by the indifference of society. On the other hand, this book was born from the desire to pay tribute to all the people who crossed his path, with whom he shared rare, sometimes intimate moments, and who nourished his thoughts on crucial themes. Beyond simple visual capture, his objective is to lead the viewer to transcend clichés and familiar street scenes to foster a deeper understanding of different cultures and lifestyles, particularly on the issue of disadvantaged neighborhoods. His photographs aspire to raise awareness, educate and encourage intercultural dialogue by highlighting differences, while breaking down stereotypes that can surround these communities.

The photographs in this book were taken in France, USA, UK, Italy between 2022 - 2023.
Spanning continents and spanning decades, Brice Gelot Archives Book Vol.1 is a testament to his passion for exploration and his unwavering commitment to his craft. Whether capturing the majestic beauty of chaos or the subtle nuances of everyday life, his photographs resonate with depth and authenticity.

The book also provides insight into his creative process, offering behind-the-scenes glimpses and commentary on select images. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, he invites readers into his world, inviting them to see the world through his eyes. Brice Gelot Archives Book Vol.1 is a must-have for photography enthusiasts, art lovers, and anyone who appreciates the power of visual storytelling.

Virginia Hanusik: Into the Quiet and the Light

By Virginia Hanusik

Publisher : Columbia Books on Architecture and the City

2024 | 184 pages

In South Louisiana, where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico, water―and the history of controlling it―is omnipresent. Into the Quiet and the Light: Water, Life, and Land Loss in South Louisiana glimpses the vulnerabilities and possibilities of living on the water during an ongoing climate catastrophe and the fallout of the fossil fuel industry―past, present, and future. The book sustains our physical, mental, and emotional connections to these landscapes through a collection of photographs by Virginia Hanusik. Framing the architecture and infrastructure of South Louisiana with both distance and intimacy, introspection and expansiveness, this work engages new memories, microhistories, anecdotes, and insights from scholars, artists, activists, and practitioners working in the region. Unfolding alongside and in dialogue with Hanusik’s photographs, these reflections soberly and hopefully populate images of South Louisiana’s built and natural environments, opening up multiple pathways that defy singularity and complicate the disaster-oriented imagery often associated with the region and its people. In staging these meditations on water, life, and land loss, this book invites readers to join both Hanusik and the contributors in reading multiplicity into South Louisiana’s water-ruled landscapes.

With texts from Richie Blink, Imani Jacqueline Brown, Jessica Dandridge, Rebecca Elliott, Michael Esealuka, T. Mayheart Dardar, Billy Fleming, Andy Horowitz, Arthur Johnson, Louis Michot, Nini Nguyen, Kate Orff, Jessi Parfait, Amy Stelly, Jonathan Tate, Aaron Turner, and John Verdin.

Rawsht Twana: Twana’s Box

By Rawsht Twana

Publisher : Fraglich Publishing

2024 | 252 pages

Twana’s Box' can be described in many ways: a journey through a photographer’s rare archive, documenting the Kurdistan region of Iraq from 1974–1992; a son’s quest to find his lost father, who was murdered by a military regime; a young man’s way to piece together the fragments of a scattered family in a scattered culture; the becoming of a photographer who, through the stories of others, starts to understand his own identity in times of war. 'Twana’s Box' is not only the photo book that holds a selection of Twana Abdullah’s archive; it is a unique insight into a time and place in a region that has since completely transformed. Rawsht has spent years piecing together his father’s negatives and stories. His archival work inspired him to become a photographer himself, working for Metrography – the first independent Iraqi photo agency – before immigrating to Europe. ills colour & bw, 21 x 27 cm, hb, Kurdish/Arabic/English
