Photography - January 2022
A theme that is central to the work of Dutch photographer Danielle Kwaaitaal is the relationship
between painting and photography. Her series 'Florilegium' draws inspiration from 17th-century
botanical drawings, yet rather than true documentation, she describes the images as her own
interpretation of reality. The artist photographs flowers submerged in water, which for her signifies
weightlessness and the absence of time. Rather than using an external light source, the
technique Kwaaitaal applies seems to translate the pulsating intensity of a television screen to
her organic subjects, which themselves radiate light in a surreal way; a delusory, immersive
experience of nature.

'today is my new favourite day' celebrates the purity and freshness of youth. Jennifer Drabbe,
who spent a large part of her childhood at boarding school, watches with wonder and amazement
how her daughters move about in the safety of a family home. Fascinated and inspired by this
gentle world unfolding before her eyes Jennifer aimed her camera at them for over ten years. She
captures unexpected moments and details. The scenes we witness are sometimes spontaneous,
sometimes staged. The daughters used as actors. We are drawn into the images through the
strong use of form and abstraction.

On 16 December 1944, Stalin ordered an estimated 70,000 ethnic Germans living in Romania
forcibly deported to Soviet labour camps as a form of reparations for Germany's actions during
the war. Many perished in the harsh conditions of the camps, infamous for freezing temperatures
and rampant malnutrition. Marc Schroeder met with 40 of the last living survivors, and here
recounts their stories and memories through eyewitness reports, archival and contextual images,
and a selection of recorded testimonials. 'ORDER 7161' reveals a frequently overlooked chapter
of European history, yet also provides crucial insight into the cultural memory of this collective
trauma.

When the mother of photographer Ton Grote died in 2007, his father stayed behind in a large
house. Their parental home where his parents lived since 1969 and he grew up with his brother
and sister. Eindhovenseweg 56, a house full of memories and dreams. When his father started to
clean up, Ton Grote decided to photograph all the loose items his parents owned: teapots, old
cameras, power strips, glasses, and a worn out football. Treasured things they grew up with and
the objects his parents used: everything was recorded. The result is a photo archive of more than
five thousand photos, of which 2,262 made it into the book..

The food we prepare and ingest represents us, signifies us, and contributes to our individual and
collective identity. Intended to trigger a series of reflections on the complexity of food, this book
centres on the work of the eleven artists exhibited at the Biennale Foto/Industria, which is wholly
dedicated to the food industry. Somewhere between a photography book and a cookbook, it
arises from different parts of the world and spans an entire century while initiating a visual and
textual conversation about the vast, multifaceted subject of food. Each artist's body of work is a
kind of case study, culminating with a recipe designed by writer and chef Tommaso Melilli to form
a single meal.

Atsushi Fukushima - I Deliver Bento Boxes To The Houses Of Old People Living Alone
Seigensha Art Publishing 2021 ISBN 9784861528552 Acqn 32043
Hb 26x22cm 160pp col ills £43.50
After graduating from the Photography Department of Osaka University of Arts in 2004, Atsushi
Fukushima spent ten years working part-time as a delivery driver of ready-made meals for elderly
people living alone in the city of Kawasaki. At first he was shocked by the dismal living conditions
of the people for whom he provided food each day, and he began to take his camera with him to
record the situation. His compassion and care eventually allowed him to build relationships with
them as a friend. Through his photographs, Fukushima challenges us to consider some
undeniable truths surrounding an aging society, caring for the elderly, facing death, and life in old
age.

Pb 24x32cm 96pp col ills £18
Care is everywhere and at the same time society faces a 'care problem'. How do artists and
photographers create more caring relationships between humans, technology, and nature, given
the challenges? An editorial commitment to care by an international Belgian-Dutch-German team
leads to a variety of artistic practices and underrepresented stories. Theoretical text contributions,
visual contributions, and experimental, hybrid formats stand side by side. 'Trigger 3: Care'
eventually gathers many forms of care through photography and visual art practices.

'Power' consist of constructed images in which Jesper Boot depicts his own family as political
figures. All the work finds its origin in how power and politics have been represented in the media
for decades and have therefore ended up in our memory. By showing images that look familiar,
he constructs a political image for the viewer, which is then deconstructed if it turns out that it is
not a trusted politician, but Jesper's own family.
