Indian Minute Camera Photographers

Fraglich Publishing 2025 ISBN 9783950277326 Acqn 37245
Pb 17x21cm 296pp col ills £37

'Indian Minute Camera Photographers' explores the life-journeys of four photographers in New
Delhi, Jaipur and Pushkar. Minute cameras were once widely used in all corners of India
providing on-the-spot black and white images for identity cards or souvenir photography in parks,
holy sites, tourist spots, and a plethora of street-side pitches. In general, the story of the minute
camera photographer has largely been forgotten in the history books as their work primarily
catered to a cliental that could not afford the more prestigious and well documented studio
photographs. The minute camera photographers in this book, Bharat Bhushan Mahajan, Teekam
Chand Pahari, Surendar Kumar Pahari, and Kinshan Chand Hemlani are amongst the last
practitioners on the sub-continent.

MUG SHOT - guilty until proven innocent

Fraglich Publishing 2025 ISBN 9783950506495 Acqn 37228
Pb 14x18cm 336pp col ills £31

'MUG SHOT' casts its gaze over the wide range of compulsory identity photography stored in
historic archives around the world. Whether the individuals pictured were actually guilty criminals
in the eyes of the law or innocent victims of persecution, racial agendas, political prisoners, or war
camp internees, the legacy of bureaucracy does not seem to differentiate - our administrative
records are filled with representations of persons who acted against those in charge. Compiled by
Australian photographer and archivist Lucas Birk, all photographs appearing in this book are in
the public domain.

Erik Kessels - As Far As You Can See

A+M Bookstore Edizione 2025 ISBN 9791281232143 Acqn 37221
Pb 13x18cm 252pp col ills £38

'As Far as You Can See', presented by COMMERCE, is the first comprehensive collection of Erik
Kessels's books, spanning from 1997 to today - including his latest, 'Incomplete Encyclopaedia of
Touch'. This richly illustrated volume traces over two decades of Kessels's artistic, editorial, and
photographic explorations. Internationally known for his work with vernacular photography and
visual storytelling, Kessels has crafted a body of work that captures the human, the everyday,
and the absurd - one book at a time. The publication includes a new text by critic and curator
Francesco Zanot, structured as a series of concise reflections - one for each book - offering a
fragmented yet cohesive insight into Kessels's evolving visual language. Designed by Cabinet
Milano, the book features a modular layout that integrates video stills made in collaboration with
Riccardo Ruffolo and Enrico Zanetti, also part of the accompanying exhibition.

Paolo Zerbini – Floridays

Skinnerboox 2025 ISBN 9788894895827 Acqn 37239
Pb 21x31cm 176pp col ills £48

'Floridays' is a multifaceted portrait of a synthetic society - gleaming and hyperreal on the surface,
twitching with distortion underneath. Photographer Paolo Zerbini draws from the overloaded
aesthetic of the '90s to depict a world of sun-drenched beaches and forgettable strip malls,
deafened by its own shrillness and numbed by its own bad taste. Graphically, the book leans into
repetition. The same subjects recur throughout, shifting slightly with each appearance. Identity
becomes a loop, not a line. The series is both a love letter and a critique: a chrome-plated guilty
pleasure, polished, packaged, and unapologetically supersized. The dust jacket comes in five
random versions.

Gabriele Galimberti - The Ameriguns (Reprint)

Skinnerboox 2025 ISBN 9788894895858 Acqn 37240
Pb 22x27cm 136pp col ills £38

Half of all privately owned firearms in the world are in the United States - a staggering 393 million
guns. This is not just market-driven, but rooted in tradition and the constitutional right enshrined in
the Second Amendment, ratified in 1791 to protect citizens from potential government overreach.
Today, it remains deeply embedded in American life. In this book, Gabriele Galimberti explores its
meaning through four core values: family, freedom, passion, and style. Travelling across the US
to meet proud gun owners and document their collections, his often unsettling portraits, paired
with personal stories, offer a rare glimpse into the culture of firearms in America today.

The Fiat Mirafiori Toilets - Actions and Photographies

Viaindustriae 2025 ISBN 9791281790292 Acqn 37241
Pb 11x18cm 144pp col ills £16.50

This book presents a collection of photographs by Pietro Perotti, a worker at the Fiat Mirafiori
plant in Turin. After a decade of active involvement in strikes and class struggles, in 1985 Perotti
began protesting the oppressive labour policies of the automotive brand's owner, Gianni Agnelli,
through writings and drawings on the factory's bathroom walls and toilet cubicles. This intimate,
secretive form of dissent was directly documented on film: Perotti timed his shots with the toilets'
automatic flushes to muffle the camera's shutter click. For the first time, the subversive cartoons,
scribbles, and messages are assembled in a single volume, preserving a unique working-class
narrative.

Stephen Berkman - Zohar Studios

Arsenicgalerie 2025 ISBN 9782378966287 Acqn 37284
Hb 24x30cm 224pp ills £76

This is the first monograph devoted to the work of Stephen Berkman, an American photographer
who resurrects forgotten 19th-century techniques to explore the uncanny strangeness of early
photography. Using historical equipment and processes such as tintypes and wet collodion, he
creates haunting narrative images and portraits that blur the line between fact and fiction, history
and imagination. In addition to his artistic practice, Berkman produces "vintage" photographs in
his Los Angeles laboratory for major Hollywood period films. Featuring a preface by Martin
Scorsese and a collection of captivating texts, the book is as strange as it is wonderful.

Fabio Mantovani - Under Nobody's Eyes

Quodlibet 2025 ISBN 9788822923226 Acqn 37288
Hb 21x28cm 132pp col ills £46.50

A photographic investigation into the terrorist attacks that struck Italy from the 1970s to the early
2000s. Fabio Mantovani focuses on the vehicles involved - cars, planes, and trains - as the last
tangible witnesses to those events. How do we portray violence, hatred, and terror? After five
years of research, solitary work, and shared memories with survivors, Mantovani presents a
haunting visual archive. Shot mostly at night, these images expose the material traces of tragedy,
confronting viewers with the familiarity of everyday objects turned into silent monuments of
trauma. The result is an unsettling ontology of violence - one that lingers, like the events it
reflects.
