Hades and the rise of the platforms
Paperback || Jos Jansen || The Eriskay Connection
Hades was a powerful god in classical Greek mythology. His ‘Helmet of Darkness’ enabled him and the other gods to be invisible during their sometimes-ambiguous quests. Therefore, the helmet became proverbial for those who conceal their true nature... Digital platforms such as Uber, Amazon, Tinder and Airbnb, with their invisible Hades-esque algorithms, have drastically changed social structures and human behaviour — and not always for the better. They have given a completely new mea...

Flisvos
Paperback || Bernadette Mergaerts || The Eriskay Connection
Flisvos is a Greek word meaning “the soft sound of a small wave gently hitting the shore”. When visiting the Greek island of Corfu in the winter of 2015, Mergaerts (BE) noticed that, in spite of the cold, many people were swimming at various places along the shoreline.

Lichens in Dalmatia
Paperback || Niek Biegman || Komma, Uitgeverij
Korstmossen zijn een ingetogen levensvorm die zich manifesteert in talloze vormen en kleuren. Naast schone lucht en zonlicht, hebben ze alleen mineralen nodig van de steen waarop ze leven. Korstmossen bedekken zo'n zes procent van het oppervlak van onze planeet. Hoewel ze briljante overlevenden zijn en in staat zijn zich aan te passen aan de meest onherbergzame omgevingen, gedijen ze toch op hun mooist, meest talrijk en gevarieerd in vriendelijkere uithoeken van de wereld.

2021 || Paperback || Erik Kessels e.a. || Kesselskramer
Carlo and Luciana come from a small town in Italy, Vignola, in the province of Modena. We first meet them at around 20 to 30 years of age, in black-and-white photographs. Many of these snapshots were taken on the road. This marks the beginning of their personal project of photographing each other in the same spot. Yet it is not until later, past the blank pages symbolic of their working years, that we really get to know how Carlo and Luciana explored the world. In almost every picture – sam...
