    Hal Fischer - Gay SemioticsCherry and Martin 2015 ISBN 9780976184171 Acqn 25514Pb 20x26cm 56pp 24ills £19.95

    Hal Fischer's Gay Semiotics: A Photographic Study of Visual Coding Among Homosexual Men (1977) is one of the most important publications associated with California conceptual

    photography in the 1970s. This new edition reproduces the look and feel of the original volume,which reconfigured into a book format the 24 text-embedded images of Fischer's 1977photographic series Gay Semiotics. The photographs in Gay Semiotics present the codesof sexual orientation and identification Fischer saw in San Francisco's Castro and Haight Ashburydistricts, ranging from such sexual signifiers as handkerchiefs and keys to depictions of the gayfashion "types" of that era--from "basic gay" to "hippie" and "jock." Gay Semiotics also featuresFischer's critical essay, which is marked by the same wry, anthropological tone found in theimage/text configurations. Fischer's book circulated widely, finding a worldwide audience in boththe gay and conceptual art communities. Fischer's insistence on the visual equivalence of wordand image is a hallmark of the loose photography and language group that included Fischer, LutzBacher, Lew Thomas and others working in the San Francisco Bay Area. First published as anartist's book in 1978 by NFS Press, at a time when gay people had been forced to both evaluateand defend their lifestyles, Gay Semiotics earned substantial critical and publicrecognition. Thirty-seven years later, the book remains a proactive statement from a voice withinthe gay community from a moment in history just before the devastation wrought by AIDS.

    Sanne Peper - Due To The Lack Of Interest Tomorrow Has Been CancelledLecturis 2015 ISBN 9789462261624 Acqn 25593Pb 20x28cm 168pp 140ills 40col £31

    Through dozens of murky photographs and sometimes morbidly forthright observations, SannePeper details her search for the traces of Southern Gothic iconography in the Deep South of theUnited States. In literature, the Southern Gothic style is one that employs the use of macabre,ironic events to examine the values of the American South, exploring social issues and revealingits cultural character. Impenetrable swamps, decaying automobiles, trees draped in Spanishmoss, ghost towns, shacks in the forest, moonshine, and colourful characters all make theirappearance in Peper’s first-hand cross-section of this unforgettable landscape. With a short storyby Jim White.

    Looking at the work of Annegien van Doorn, it is easy to notice her special way to face daily life:she is constantly looking for encounters with quotidian objects that are undoubtedly present ineveryone's routine, but they are usually just used and forgotten, as almost unnoticeable things.However, through Annegien's photographic and video work we recognize how, with simplegestures, she provides them with a second connotation and function. She gives an attractive andunusual appearance to these ordinary objects making us aware of their actual existence.

    Maarit Hohteri has been making pictures of her friends for sixteen years. Presented in this book,the photos appear timeless, independent of any particular place. The focus is on her intimategroup of friends, and the same faces repeatedly return in languid shots of sleep and relaxation,casual domestic moments, or spending time outdoors. It is a book about friendship – a sense ofcloseness and the lack thereof – from her point of view. It captures how close friends relate toone another, and what they do together. Hohteri’s own sense of perhaps not belonging or beingaccepted, as well as her experiences of loneliness, are pivotal. With a touching text by IlkkaKaristo.

    Unintentionally, when taking a photograph of a particular subject, one also captures other things.This democratic aspect, the camera’s indifferent reproduction of whatever the photographer aimsto frame, causes a wealth of additional information in images. This edition addresses this theme,and seeks to reverse the intention to retrieve new information and highlight the “sideshow”. Forinstance, accidentally photographed flora and fauna, like flower arrangements, cats, pigeons, andeven half horses. Or, taking it a step further, the experimental recovery of information lost byframing and cropping, through physically adding what the photographed subject might be seeing.

    Nobuyoshi Araki constructs a darkly phantasmagorical realm of flowers, plastic dolls, toy animalfigurines, and more in this series of 75 black-and-white photographs. Brimming with hisrecognisable motifs and erotic symbolism, the carefully arranged still-lifes are interspersed withportraits of people like Umezu Kazuo, Setouchi Jakucho, Lady Gaga, and Araki’s muse, Kaori.With bizarre tableaus that mix anthropomorphic imagery with themes like sex, aging, death, andprimal appetites, Araki plunges us into the midst of a tangible dementia.

    Nowadays, every movie or film we see is digital. In order to view them, a codec is needed –something that encodes or decodes, compresses or decompresses data – but the motion picturecan still be briefly distorted, depending on various factors, from signal glitches or frequencyinterference to faulty files. These distortions are called codec errors. This guide has collectedimages from these exact moments of significant digital disturbance or dysfunction in order toclassify them according to the “Codec Order” concept. The resulting images are vibrantlycoloured, unfathomably pixelated and blurred in a confused digital lexicon that is beyond ourgrasp to comprehend.

    The Internet provides a wealth of found materials for artists, especially in the form of images. Forthis series, Fred Hüning made photographs from video clips uploaded to YouPorn by privateusers. By cropping these scenes of amateur sex, he shifts our focus to the furniture, objects, andeven pets that are also present in the space, pointing to the private nature of the scenes andlocations. Not just that, Hüning also raises questions about the consequences that the uploadingand online streaming of these personal recordings of highly intimate activities may have. Thebook is published in an edition of 150 and given form as a small laptop, with a message todecipher on the keyboard.

    Bound is the outcome of a collaborative journey undertaken by Christina McBride a visual artistliving in Glasgow and Roberto Bravo, a writer from Mexico City. The concept of Aporia, providedthe starting point of a journey which involved the artist and writer travelling together throughPatagonia. Originating in the Greek, Aporia can mean a number of things, which includes aphilosophical puzzle, a state of perplexity and doubt, and also that which is seeminglyimpassable. It also refers to a situation where contradictory positions are presentedsimultaneously but are equally plausible. The Patagonian landscape is an area of extremes andcontradictions and provided a rich and challenging location in which to expand and interrogatetheir ideas.Christina McBride produced a series of photographic images using a range of analoguecameras. The text of Roberto Bravo chronicles their journey through Patagonia, reflecting on themythical, socio-political and historical specifics of the land they pass through. Woven through the

    text are references to a number of writers who have been informed by this place, most notablyPablo Neruda and Nicanor Parra. Their work was also impacted by an unexpected but significantevent took place during the course of the journey when the car they were travelling in wasinvolved in a car crash outside Santiago. The book will include an introduction by Tacita Dean.

     At age eighteen, Yoshinori Mizutani moved to Tokyo after having grown up in a small townsurrounded by rich wildlife and nature. In his constant search for aspects of the natural world inthe midst of the bustling metropolis, he discovered the buzzer midge (‘yusurika’), a tiny insect thatallows him to transform the city into a sparkling, magical realm through his camera lens. Swarms

    comprising myriad individual animals radiate an almost palpable kinetic energy when reflected inthe camera flash, appearing as white specks of light, “like fairies in the natural world”. In this way,Mitzutani explores and contemplates his own past, linking memory and affinity towards nature.

    This 2013 series by Simon Rimaz comprises a body of work based on press photographscollected in various newspaper archives in the United States. Images that are published in thepress are gathered in these archives, and marked, numbered, and indexed by date or keyword.From amongst all these marks, Rimaz has focused on the indications showing how the imagewas to be cropped for publication. These “stigmata” are proof of the image’s use, and of itstransformation; indications of "that-which-has-been", a fundamental notion in the history of thephotographic medium. He uses them to cut out what was published, completely removing theimage seen by the public.

    Orna Wertman's photographic landscapes mislead the eye. The keen observer will notice thatthings are not quite what they seem, which in turn makes them intriguing. Wertman combineslandscapes in a way that goes unnoticed until the smallest details become visible. For this series,she took old vacation snapshots from her own family albums and similar photos found at fleamarkets, cutting them up and repasting the pieces into new collages. With one landscapetransposed upon another, an alternate ambiance emerges, evoking the feelings of dual identityand alienation that are recurring themes in Wertman’s work, symbolic of her own life and

    inspirations.

    Dominique Somers’ work '00A' consists of a compilation of found images. The title of the seriesrefers to the starting-point markings, printed between the sprocket holes on the leader of a 35-mm photographic film. Somers has been collecting the first, automatic exposures made on this00A frame of the negative strip for years. They are the result of a photographic practice that intoday’s digital age has almost become a form of archaeology: when positioning a roll of analoguefilm in the camera, one has to release the shutter a few times and wind a couple of framesforward to reach the starting position (1A) of the unexposed part of the spooled film. It is precisely

    these throwaway shots that Somers has appropriated.
