Walid Raad - I Long To Meet The Masses Once Again

ROMA Publications 2021 ISBN 9789492811905 Acqn 31254
Pb 22x28cm 48pp col ills £20.25

This eye-catching booklet is published with an exhibition of hybrid wooden objects by Lebanese-
American artist Walid Raad at Kunst-Station Sankt Peter Koln in Germany. Raad's practice spans
almost every artistic discipline, from photographs, videos, and lectures, to performances,
sculptures, collages, and drawings. The artist's approach is based on the assumption that
artworks are not constants, but rather mutable quantities that change meaning and thus also their
form during cultural or physical transfer. For instance, in dealing with the Lebanese wars, he uses
the format of a seemingly authentic archive to confront the Western viewer with a society that has
lost a unifying narrative.

Wang Bing - The Walking Eye

ROMA Publications 2021 ISBN 9789492811851 Acqn 31334
Hb 16x23cm 832pp col ills £49.50

In 170 sequences, eight iconic films are presented in this first referential book about the work of
Chinese filmmaker Wang Bing. These include 'West of the Tracks' (2003), 'Three Sisters' (2012),
and '15 Hours' (2017). For him, making films stems from an urgent need to question his own time,
his own country; to establish an alternative to the official media coverage that oscillates between
propaganda and censorship. Bing also pushes the limits of documentary language by harnessing
the democratising possibilities of digital filmmaking. His attention to people and to things is
captured in lengthy films, enabling viewers to see things up close, as near as possible to reality
and truth.

Steven Humblet - Off Camera

ROMA Publications 2021 ISBN 9789492811882 Acqn 31347
Hb 24x31cm 154pp col ills £37.25

This visual manifesto explores the notion of 'the photographic', an analysis of the effects the
technical image has on the visual culture as a whole. The glossy photo essay focuses on
contemporary artistic practises and experimental approaches to photography, divided into four
themes: The Photographic Fossil, Chemical Matter, Optical Confusion, and Performing the
Image. The accompanying text insert engages a discourse among artists and intellectuals on
defining photography and technique. 'Off Camera' is the conclusion of a research project carried
out by Belgian researcher Steven Humblet's group, Thinking Tools, at the Royal Academy of Fine
Arts, Antwerp.
