Stillness

Stillness

Gestalten

Stillness is an exploration of Japanese aesthetics in architecture and design from a Scandinavian perspective. Across the seas, two distant regions have developed similar approaches to design and architecture that share a respect for nature, a sensitivity to light, and a dedication to craft. Exemplifying the book concept is the description of a traditional Japanese tokonoma room, which is an alcove that is used to display art, calligraphy, or flower arrangements. The tokonoma is a space filled with symbolic and spiritual meaning. The book then juxtaposes such a room with the Scandinavian interpretation of it, displaying photographs of both (inspired Japanese flower arrangements, Fresh Green Leafs hanging from a wall vase at the Sjöparken Lake Villa, Sweden).

Pink Oyster

Jonas Harboe Frederiksen

Re-Framed

Re-Framed

Marc Hom

Part museum experiment, part documentary book project: Re-Framed shows the work of famed photographer Marc Hom in a whole new light. In this combined indoor/outdoor exhibition, viewers engage with the medium of portrait photography via the juxtaposition of a controlled classical indoor show with sculpture-like eleven-foot- tall photographs displayed and left exposed outdoors in the open air. This creates a new way to experience photography in an ever-evolving environment, while discovering oversized, larger-than-life pieces amidst the green lawn and lakeshore behind the museum building. Hom’s outdoor studio portraits, displayed in flexible three-meter-high frames, are vulnerable to elements that change the viewing experience: literally, the wind and weather.

CROWBAR HOTEL

June 2024
Second Edition

The First Edition was published in November 2019.
This edition also includes new content from 2020 - 2024.

Crowbar Hotel: Live From CDCR  is the culmination of contraband smartphone photos taken in prison by incarcerated Bloods and Crips gang members. Photos and videos were sent in by inmates, with content found by following their social media accounts. Most of the content was created between 2016 and 2019 from different CDCR state prisons in California, such as Lancaster, California City, Corcoran, Calipatria, and other facilities. The incarcerated depicted serve sentences varying from minimum to maximum, in security level one to level four.

Young gangbangers ready to prove themselves and prison-hardened gangsters that have done twenty years and counting.

The book is a visual anthropological documentation of the secret smartphone activity of Bloods and Crips gang members locked up in California state prisons; who also represent the majority of (online active) inmates.

The content includes satellite photos of CDCR prison facilities, portraits, and video stills of inmates tattooing, working out, and cooking inside their cells.

Ultra Violent

April 2024
Third Edition 

The First Edition was published in December 2021
The Second Edition was published in June 2022

Ultra Violent is a visual study that focuses on the appearance and behavior of diehard football club fans, known as Ultras and Casuals.

Men join these groups and riot for fun because it’s an instant way to feel they’re connected to a community. The antisocial kick is like doing drugs: bad for you but addictive. Violence produces endorphins and lets their adrenaline flow. It’s like sex – you live in the moment.

This publication comprises low-resolution grayscale images, reframed and cut to create a new, first-person perspective of the lifestyles of football fanatics from the streets to the stands.

When you quickly flip through this book, it hardly differs from zapping through hundreds of news channels or scrolling through your timeline on social media. The enormous number of (horrific) images we see every day, unsolicited, makes us realize less and less what we are actually looking at. We cannot (and do not want to) close ourselves off from our contemporary, violent visual culture. The author used hardcore football culture to study this.

Verkehrte Welt- Topsy-Turvy World
Sale 200 kr 100 kr

A multistoried apartment building. Its plaster is grayish beige and exudes a kind of petit-bourgeois tristesse; it has the requisite carpeted balcony railings, the lone flower box, even the deckchair is there. A familiar view. It is only on second glance that we see that something is wrong. All of the balcony doors lead to nowhere, and in turn, the balconies themselves cannot be accessed.

German photographer Frank Kunert (*1963 in Frankfurt/Main) has not uncovered any sort of architectural scandal. With Balcony is one of the works that sensitively and enigmatically turn familiar narrative contexts upside down and question reality itself. Far from being simply photographic satire, Kunert’s miniatures give three-dimensional form to puns on thoughts and words, making them tangible in the truest sense of the word. Kunert spends weeks constructing his model sets down to the smallest detail and then photographs them in his studio—in the process, creating the antithesis of worn and hackneyed concepts and ideas.
