EXISTING IN COSTUME

Chan-Hyo Bae

By: Chan-Hyo Bae,Kim Hong-hee,Bill Kounwenhoven

The book covers five photography series which Chan-Hyo Bae has worked on so far, Self-Portrait, Fairy Tales, Punishment, Witch Hunting and the new series Jumping into the Oil Paintings. Each series have been divided into individual categories but the book’s editing shows that all series are above the same photographic context. As the artist had been fiercely living as a stranger in the U.K. but was unable to be absorbed and experience alienation and anger as an Asian living in Western culture, his artistic challenge to the meta discourse of Western culture became the key word of this series of work. Meanwhile, Jumping into the Oil Paintings is an extension of Existing in Costume but also a very different attempt. In terms of the formality of the work, Existing in Costume is a process that visualizes the artist's feelings of prejudice and alienation through elaborating exquisite plan and production, while Jumping into the Oil Paintings do not simply damage but deconstruct the subject's essence by gilding on the printed photography or by copying the paintings images and transfer it to animal skins. His new series could be seen as a way more aggressive challenge to the system of Western thought and through this, we might carefully gauged the direction of his future works. This photography book which contains 52 works from five series include articles of Kim Hong-hee, the art critic and the previous director of Seoul Museum of Art and also Bill Kuenhoven’s article, who has executive capacity in international photography scene since he had been worked as an editor of several major photography magazines for the past 20 years including Hotshoe Inernational. Thus, those articles will support an in-depth understanding of the artist’s works, has a meaning as a publication aiming at overseas photography experts and readers.

State Fair

The Last Living Munchkin from the Wizard of Oz and Other Stories

By: Christopher Chadbourne,Paula Tognarelli,Bill Kouwenhoven

State Fairs, an annual American ritual, are a willingly accepted assault on the senses - visual, acoustic, gastric (fried beer the latest delicacy) and a voluntary yielding of personal space to strangers. Chadbourne believes they are one of America's most demographically diverse and democratic institutions and a stage upon which human idiosyncrasies play out against a background of contextual complexity and human diversity. This book brings back amazing images in Chadbourne's signature, close up style. He brings to life the crash and chaos of a fair at full frenzy.

Luca Zanier - Power Book. Raum und Energie

By: Luca Zanier,Bill Kouwenhoven,André Küttel

Photographer Luca Zanier casts a look behind the curtains of the energy industry. His images open the doors to hidden universes, usually inaccessible to the public, highly protected as they are against accidents and terrorism. Abandoned worlds of concrete and steel reveal themselves to us, cathedrals of the modern age, temples of an energy-devouring society that radiate a cold logic. His images of imposing halls, endless corridors, massive floodgates and cryptic signs are as intimidating as they are fascinating. They seem extraterrestrial and surreal at times, as if taken from a science fiction movie; their aesthetics make us forget that we are looking at highly complex industrial systems. Systems that serve as well as threaten us.

Chongqing

City of Ambition

By: Ferit Kuyas,Diana Edkins,Bill Kouwenhoven

The Chinese city of Chonqing is little known in the West. Yet with its 32 million inhabitants, the city is twice as big as the Netherlands. Located on the Yangtze river in the province of Sichuan in southwestern China, it is one of Chinas most rapidly growing cities. Ferit Kuyas stayed in Chonqing on dozens of occasions for long periods and became totally fascinated by the megalomaniacal construction fervour he witnessed there, as well as its beauty. The almost ubiquitous haze naturally present in this region but intensified by large-scale pollution gave his work almost automatically an added layer of mystery. Kuyas focussed predominantly on the periphery of the city, where the enormity of it cannot be directly seen, but rather felt. The result is a stifling and exceptional book that displays all the superlatives that describe China: huge, unstoppable, terrifying, incomprehensible, fascinating, beautiful...

Little Adults

By: Anna Skladmann,Bill Kouwenhoven

Stunningly documents the lives of privileged children in Russia, a country where radical history and social hierarchy still rule daily lives. Skladmann's collection focuses on the rapidly growing world of the 'nouveau riche', a world in which children are raised to become the future elite and behave like little adults. The portraits express the tension between natural character and stereotyping, touching on issues of family aspiration, ideas of normality, the loss of childhood and the constant desire for fame.

Badain Jaran

The Forgotten Desert

By: Carlos Crespo,Catherine Hug,Bill Kouwenhoven

Badain Jaran is a desert, more than 19,000 square miles of endless openness, with innumerable sand dunes up to 1,600 feet tall and mysterious salt-water lakes. It is part of the Alashan desert, south-west to the Gobi in the Inner Mogolia province of China. A place that has been discovered by American scientists on satellite images in the 1980s only that miraculously has been kept hidden to most people since. In 2009-12 Carlos Crespo realised a vast photo essay on the unique, spectacular, and very remote landscape of Badain Jaran.
