Phree
A project that illuminates the history of Franco's repression in Paterna (Valencia) between 1939 and 1956 by closely accompanying the families and the forensic teams fighting for the dignity that was taken from them. The story runs parallel to the complex and beautiful process of locating, exhuming, identifying, handing over and burying.

74 photographs taken in France, Spain, the United States and Venezuela during the period 2010/2020 — have been grouped in the photobook “Free Jazz”, by Ana María Ferris. The subjects do not belong to a particular photographic genre. On the contrary, a vast visual universe of heterogeneous references—landscapes, portraits, advertisements, showcases, domestic photography, still lifes, monuments, parks and flowers—are associated and alternate with the intention of breaking with the classic fixed narrative thread present in photobooks or in books. Each copy has been compiled differently. The order of the pages, programmed using artificial intelligence, is random. Consequently, reading is generated by the independent and autonomous interrelation between each minimal unit of meaning; However, here the whole is worth more than the parts. According to designer Ricardo Báez, the musical style of free jazz (from the 60s) is recreated here, based on free interpretation, improvisation, invention and spontaneous creation of rhythmic tonalities. By combining Ferris' images using a fortuitous order, Báez proposes to fracture the defined-definitive narrative plot of visual essays articulated to the sequential edition—not of the photographs—in the space of the folios; He challenges the reader, who will have to prompt the content to create its particular or “own” meaning.
The cover has been printed on aluminized paper of a reflective nature, a tribute to the surface of the daguerreotype, “mirror of memory” and a quality that returns the reflection of whoever looks at it. A QR code complements the book, giving the possibility of scanning it with mobile devices; Its purpose is to interact with the publication at the moment in which it is browsed by listening to a soundtrack (18”:50’), created especially by Abraham Araujo, made of fragments of dialogues, noises, music and percussion. A special edition of 15 copies is accompanied by fifteen vinyl records of the same soundtrack.

GUEST
A new book by Juan Brenner that explores the people and culture of the Guatemalan Highlands. Genesis is the culmination of over five years' work, in which Brenner documented the Highland area and people of his home country. With a focus on youth culture in the region, Brenner captures a new generation of Guatemalans, the first to establish an intelligible dialogue with their contemporaries around the world.
Genesis is an extensive study of Highland society, exploring the history, nuance, and complexity of everyday life. With photography that captures a territory that is in the midst of great change and a set intention to document the “process of becoming".

‘Beggar’s Honey’ is an exploration into the clandestine world of click farms.
Click farms are shadowy operations that are responsible for artificially inflating the engagement metrics of content on social media, manipulating the algorithms with serious consequences – from influencing consumer behaviour to compromising the integrity of democratic processes.
Jack Latham’s audacious project seeks to expose the inner workings of click farms for the very first time. By juxtaposing the captivating with the covert, he challenges our perception of the digital landscape and urges us to question the authenticity of the content we encounter daily.
‘Beggar’s Honey’ was awarded the Images Vevey Heidi.news Reportage honourable mention of the Grand Prix Images Vevey 2019/2020 by the jury chaired by Dayanita Singh. The project has been produced and funded by Images Vevey, with the generous support of the Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation and Heidi.news.

The Classroom explores control and discipline within post-colonial Moroccan identity through staged, uncanny classroom images created between 1994 and 2002.
Frustrated by Morocco’s rigid educational system of the 1990s, art teacher Hicham Benohoud used photography as a pedagogical tool, creating a makeshift darkroom in his classroom to foster collaborative and hands-on learning, encouraging students to engage with creativity and identity.
The resulting images created with his students are marked by tension and alienation, blending absurdity, humour, and unease in their exquisitely framed and obliquely disarming compositions. In juxtaposing the monotony of the classroom with a visual exploration of both freedom and control, The Classroom builds a playful and existential critique of postcolonial identity, where childlike creative gestures merge into a more ambiguous aesthetic that hints at oppression, violence and isolation.
This new publication by Loose Joints draws from the artist's original archive of negatives from the time, building the first comprehensive appraisal of Benohoud’s ground-breaking series while highlighting the modern relevance of the work in its engagement with performance, politics, pedagogy and the body decades ahead of its time.

We are thrilled to announce the publication of Chicago by Mark Steinmetz. This extraordinary group of photographs, made between 1988 and 1991, provides a compelling portrait both of the city itself and of the time in which they were made.
Steinmetz’s relationship with Chicago is an important and evolving aspect of his artistic journey. While he is primarily associated with the South, Chicago has long been a city that has inspired his creative exploration. Chicago’s distinct neighborhoods, architecture, and energy offered Steinmetz a rich source of material, allowing him to capture the city’s quiet moments and intimate portraits of its residents. Chicago showcases a unique perspective of the city and and is an important chapter in Steinmetz’s ongoing dialogue with the broader American landscape.
Born in 1961, Mark Steinmetz lives in Athens, Georgia. He is a Guggenheim Fellow, with work in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Chicago opens with an essay by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator of Photography at the MoMA, New York, from 1991 to 2011. Beautifully printed in duotone on a special matte art paper, and bound with a two-tone brown linen over boards, this first printing is limited to 1,500 copies and was published to coincide with an exhibition of the same name at Stephen Daiter Gallery in Chicago.

Coinciding with a major retrospective exhibition at MAXXI, Rome, Col tempo, 1956–2024 provides a complete and long-awaited retrospective of the career of Guido Guidi, sequenced by the artist himself in his typically illuminating, associative style. The book begins with some of the earliest photographs Guidi made, aged fifteen, in the countryside around his home in Cesena in the Italian region of Romagna. The sequence that follows, covering almost seventy years, encompasses a wide range of styles, forms, and approaches as it traces the evolution of one of the most important voices in contemporary photography. It includes journeys to the USA, Russia, Turkey, and Portugal, and studies of the works of architects including Carlo Scarpa, Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier. Consistently, though, it returns to the modest agricultural landscapes where Guidi was born and still lives and works today, among which he has developed the revelatory visual language for which he is celebrated as a modern master.
Including many of Guidi’s most famous works and series alongside unseen early and new works, paintings, and writings, this book reveals the influences of Early Renaissance frescoes, minimalism, Pop art, and semiotics on his rich and layered oeuvre. It is completed by a suite of critical essays by Frits Gierstberg, Florian Ebner, Alessandro Coco, and exhibition curators Simona Antonacci, Pippo Ciorra, and Antonello Frongia.

Physique showcases over 250 rare physique photography prints from the private collection of renowned critic and curator Vince Aletti. Spanning the 1930s to the early 1960s, these photographs chronicle a hidden, coded world of homoerotic imagery. Once sold discreetly through mail-order catalogues and underground physique magazines, the prints point to an emergent queer sensibility and visibility.
Accompanying this visual archive is a personal essay by Aletti which traces the historical and political significance of these images, firmly establishing their place in the canon of photography. He celebrates the artistry of the photographers, models, and studios that brought the photographs to life. Physique reveals a forgotten chapter of American gay culture in which photographic prints served as a lifeline, connecting a community of men under threat while also providing solace, pleasure, and empowerment amid oppression.

For her first feature film, The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola commissioned British fashion photographer Corinne Day to join her on set. Renowned for her unadorned, grungy photographs of iconic models of the 1990s, Day’s representation of female beauty met its match in Coppola, whose debut marked the first of her unaffected, empathetic depictions of womanhood. Edited from Day’s original negatives, this volume, which launches alongside The Virgin Suicides' twenty-fifth anniversary, gives mesmerising and unprecedented insight into Coppola’s enigmatic staging of the Lisbon sisters and their suburban trappings.
In Day’s photographs, the lush mystique of Coppola’s set runs through images of the young actors at work and between takes, their candid posturing and pensive expressions reflecting the intimate and collaborative environment of the shoot. Fragments of the set and costume design appear suggestively – crucifixes, pink lace bras, homecoming dresses, beauty products, and toffee apples – all playing their part in Coppola’s depiction of the yearning and repression of adolescence. Completed with new texts by Sofia Coppola and Jeffrey Eugenides, this volume opens a fascinating dialogue between Eugenides’s original text and Coppola’s cult adaptation.

In January 2020, Alec Soth received a letter from Chris Fausto Cabrera, an inmate of the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Rush City, asking the photographer to engage in a dialogue. This sparked an expansive and insightful correspondence over the following nine months, set against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter Movement, and growing unrest, which reaches to the heart of contemporary America. In amongst their exchanges of personal histories and shared influences – from Ralph Ellison’s The Invisible Man and André 3000 to Robert Frank’s The Americans and Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet – developed a searing investigation of the redemptive power of art and the imagination, justice and accountability, life inside America’s prisons, and the astonishing capacity of empathy and curiosity to bring two people together.
In December 2023, a board led by the Minnesota Governor voted unanimously for the commutation of Cabrera’s sentence. This expanded edition of The Parameters of Our Cage includes a new conversation between Cabrera and Soth, recorded when they met in person for the first time, which discusses confronting life post-incarceration.

Territorium is my new book ( unfortunately only in Dutch) about our complex relationship with intensive livestock farming, the environment and the looming climate crisis. On a more personal level, it is also a book about tradition, ownership, transience and the fear of change and loss.
