Batia Suter – Exosphere

ROMA Publications 2023 ISBN 9789464460476 Acqn 33739

Pb 24x32cm 136pp col ills £30.50

Swiss-born, Amsterdam-based artist Batia Suter presents a recent project in which she deals in a
humorous and indirect way with the fundamentals of sculpture. The book is comprised of
reproductions of protective packaging material for fruits, vegetables, and headphones,
interspersed with collected images of armour. The sense of a fossilised present offers a new
perspective on the artist's phylogenetic approach to imagery and her appreciation of unintentional
beauty.

Alexandra Leykauf - Alexandra Leykauf
ROMA Publications 2023 ISBN 9789464460452 Acqn 33759
Pb 20x28cm 192cm col ills £32

Berlin-based artist Alexandra Leykauf appropriates the gender-oriented or feminine cultural gaze
via the medium of photography, playing with varying degrees of appropriation in order to reveal
the superficiality of images. She often deconstructs different aspects of photography and cinema,
in turn exposing the complexity inherent to the construction of images. This book presents an
overview of Leykauf's practice through three exhibitions - Both Sides Now (2020), Animus (2021),
What We Do in the Shadows (2022) - her series 'Stick People' and 'Faces', and a number of
video works. Texts by the artist and Garance Chabert illuminate the connections between these
works.

Mark Manders - All Words and One
ROMA Publications 2023 ISBN 9789464460438 Acqn 33776
Pb 21x28cm 208pp col ills £39

This is a book about a single word: skiapod. What began as a task to select a single word from
among all existing words, and to expand upon and alter the meaning and mythology of that word,
soon became a fascinating journey through our human history and the strange workings of our
minds. Discover how a concept can appear through different periods, crystallise in different
makers' minds, and become recorded in various media: from cave drawings to a fax, and from
Malevich to Guston. Arranged as a step-by-step process, the book raises questions as well. Why
do we need to create images and meaning? What do we try to grasp by creating an image of a
mythical figure?

Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky - Feeding on Light
ROMA Publications 2023 ISBN 9789464460469 Acqn 33778
Pb 13x20cm 416pp col ills £30.50

Imagine a collection of perforated leaves in which organisms like insects, fungi, or bacteria
existing in the foliage have created an array of patterns. Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky's 'Feeding on
Light' examines photosynthesis through experimental photography. Bringing the outdoors into her
analogue colour darkroom, the artist captures the traces of the often symbiotic relationships
observed between trees, insects, and the sun. The book takes the form of a field guide, with an
extensive index of common and scientific plant names linking the hundreds of photograms,
contact prints, and negative prints. Essays contextualise her work through biology, ecology, and
philosophy.
