Having assigned Gothenburg-based painters Fredrik Åkum and Tomas Lundgren with the same task earlier this year, the turn has come for friends and former HFF School of Photography graduates Lotta Törnroth and Simon Berg (<3) to freely record a conversation in which the notions of death, anxieties and turning the lens towards one's own parents are brought to the table.

Blackbook Publications are attending Textival in Gothenburg this Saturday. Open 11.00-18.00. If you are in town, please pay a visit. Along with other titles, we got Agnes Thor's, As the river runs, for sale.

https://www.facebook.com/events/175945376114470/

Agnes Thor’s second monograph is a revisit to her childhood home and its surrounding areas. She has created a visual map over the landscape that was once her whole world, staying within the boundaries of the past. Shooting over the course of eight years, it is also a document of time and seasons passing, and a meditation over the Swedish landscape.

In her recently released book “As The River Runs”, photographer Agnes Thor returns to her childhood home in Sweden and visually explores the physical perimeters set forth by her parents around their home when she was a child.

Revisiting places that once held a magical element during her childhood, Thor uses her elegant attention to light and detail to provide a visual narrative that draws the viewer into a place where time has stopped and all that remains is the wistful vision she has presented. With a beautifully tragic foreword by the artist, the scene is set for the viewer to explore the four sections of images. Through her pairing of images, a true sense of place is formed where the viewer can’t help but form an attachment to it’s structures, objects, and landscapes. “As The River Runs” is published by Blackbook Publications and was released in November 2015. —Canbra Hodson

On Thursday, December 3rd, Agnes Thor will have a book signing at Printed Matter Inc. in New York from 6pm - 8pm.

Join us for a signing of As the River Runs by Swedish photographer & artist Agnes Thor, published by Blackbook Publications. Drinks provided by Rekorderlig Cider.

The fields, the river, the garden. The river, the garden, the fields.

As an unspoken mantra, these were the places I was drawn to, and photographed, every time I came back home after my parents separated. I went out in the mornings, the evenings, the snow, the sun, re-exploring my childhood world. It was a process of grief, trying to grasp the last vague memories of what once were, and a way of creating a visual map based on those memories. Revisiting old hiding spots and places I played, walking the same routes and trails over and over.

The resulting work As the river runs, is a visual contemplation over the landscape that had made up my entire world, and despite being grownup, and free to do whatever I want, I subconsciously stayed within the limits of my childhood. My fear of certain places still echoed, and the strong respect for boundaries remained and limited my movements. I stayed close to home, physically and mentally.

Shot over eight years, it is also a story about time, the seasons passing, and a meditation over the Swedish landscape – once a world filled with adventures, myths and stories. Now just a garden, a river, and the fields.

This weekend Blackbook Publications has been on the London Art Book Fair at Whitechapel Gallery together with PA(P)P.

Thank you Arina Stoenescu for making it happen!

Signe Vad, som tildaglig er kunstnerisk leder i TYS, har fået stillet lokalet tilrådighed i juli. Derfor har TYS mulighed for at præsenterer tredje del af trilogien: Det sidste menneske som SV har arbejdet med de sidste tre år.

SV arbejder med intensitet i denne udstilling og går bogstaveligt ind i kroppen for at fange kaos, liv og svulstighed i fotografier som overskrider splitsekundets frossenhed.

Intentionen er at tage tanken og oversætte den til et visuelt ordløst sprog, som rammer og skaber mellemmenneskelig genklang. I et forsøg på at lade billedet bryde sin todimensionale tilstand og kommentere på Nietzsches efterlysning af liv i fortællingen om det sidste menneske. En fortælling hvor mennesket har gjort jorden lille og gold fordi, de har mistet forbindelsen til længsel, skabelse og kærlighed.

Udstillingens undertitel Vi har kaos i os er en omskrivning af Nietzsches udsagn i bogen "Således talte Zarathustra", hvor han skriver "Jeg siger jer: man må have kaos i sig, for at kunne føde en dansende stjerne. Jeg siger jer: I har kaos i jer."

Det er tredje gang SV beskæftiger sig med Det sidste menneske. Den første udstilling i trilogien Engang var alle gale og den anden Vi har opfundet lykken blev vist som seperatudstillinger i marts og april 2013.

Blackbook publication is proud to announce that the book Det som blir kvar (What remains) and its graphic designer, Eric Victor Palmér won gold for best bokdesign in this year's Kolla! With great competition from large publishers and talented designers. The competition is organized by the Swedish Illustrators.

Fotobok av Emanuel Cerderqvist. Dödsbon fotograferade mellan 2009 och 2013. Boken behandar de spår vi lämnar efter oss när vi dör. Både foton och form är tillbakadragna och bokens rytm är enkel och lugn.

http://kolla.se/2014/bidrag/det-som-blir-kvar/

Törnroth is interested by the power of the sea and the relation between man and the sea. Photography, text and sculpture form a story about the potential catastrophe at sea. What happens within us, just waiting for it to happen and the effect it has after the catastrophe has happened. Being torn between hope and despair, but also the beauty of not giving up.

The work is a three-part story including photographs and essays

This saturday we release Lotta Törnroths new book "Att vänta på det oundvikliga: berättelser från havet" in Gothenburg. There will be books by many different publishers and a bar.

See you there!

VERNISSAGE

Huvudutställning stora galleriet: ”Sidor”

CFF:s höstutställning ”Sidor” tar sin utgångspunkt i en aktuell företeelse på det fotografiska fältet nämligen fotoboken. Intresset för fotografisk bild har under senare år ökat väsentligt och i samband med detta har fotoboken som uttryck och förmedlare av fotografi fått en central roll. Utställningen utforskar och diskuterar fotobokens tematik i så väl bild som ord. I samband med vernissagen släpps och presenteras ett flertal fotoböcker (se titlar längre ner) av medverkande utställare: Theo Elias, Carl Johan Erikson, John Håkansson, Annika Thörn Legzdins, Lotta Törnroth och Hendrik Zeitler.

Pågår 25 sept - 2 nov.

Tomorrow we release Lotta Törnroth's new book "Att vänta på det oundvikliga: berättelser från havet" at CFF in Stockholm.

See you there!
