Miss Cox
Nude - Arising from the Ground
2020 || Paperback || Mariken Wessels || Idea Books B.V.
This project by Dutch photographer Mariken Wessels (1963) is a multifaceted artistic translation of her fascination with an anonymous woman who posed for Eadweard Muybridge’s camera in 1885. In the 24-image sequence “Arising from the Ground”, the obese woman, who was supposedly named Miss Cox, can be observed as she moves from lying down to a fully upright position. Wessels was inspired by this woman to start making large clay sculptures and photographing obese female models swimming un...

Ulay*What Is This Thing Called Polaroid?
2016 || Paperback || Ulay e.a. || Samenwerkende Uitgevers VOF
What Is This Thing Called Polaroid? gaat over de bijzondere kwaliteiten van Polaroid-fotografie en de rol die dit medium speelt in het werk van de kunstenaar Ulay. Al vanaf de jaren 1970 onderzoekt Ulay de mogelijkheden van Polaroid, leidend tot radicaal en baanbrekend werk. Het eenmalige en onmiddellijke karakter van elke individuele Polaroidfoto sluit goed aan bij Ulays performance-kunst en body art. Ulays experimenten gaan zo ver dat hij uiteindelijk zelf ín een grote Polaroidcamera is ga...

Meta- and inter-images in contemporary visual art and culture / druk 1
2013 || Paperback || Carla Taban || Universitaire Pers Leuven
Exploring the epistemological potential of meta- and inter-images.
Since the 1990s, when the question of the visual became central in various arts and humanities disciplines, images that refer to themselves as such or to other images have enjoyed an increasing interest. 'Meta- and Inter-Images in Contemporary Visual Art and Culture' partakes in, enriches and updates these debates. It investigates what meta- and inter-images can make known about the visual, in its own terms, by its own means.

Slowtime Alabama & The Beautiful Sadness
2023 || Paperback || Sanne Peper || Fw:Books
The project of Sanne Peper about The Deep South, a highly complex and interesting part of the US has culminated in the publication of 'Slowtime, Alabama & The Beautiful Sadness', a fairytale-like photo/text book about good and evil, the human condition, an alt-right chipmunk who goes by the name of Jeremiah Day, and ultimately about the fear of the other. Half of the book consists of photographs, but Sanne Peper also wrote about things she experienced and the tales people told her. Of this sh...

Place: Towards a Geophilosophy of Photography
Paperback || Ali Shobeiri || Leiden University Press || met inkijkexemplaar
By examining photography through geography and philosophy, this book makes evident that place is not the content of a definite representation. To do this, it breaks down the participatory elements of photography into six tropes: the photographer, the camera, the photograph, the image, the spectator, and the genre. Afterwards, through a rigorous theoretical analysis of each of these themes vis-à-vis the notion of place, it shows how they manifest inactive, contingent, unlocalizable, liminal, ...

Photography’s Materialities
Transatlantic Photographic Practices over the Long Nineteenth Century
2021 || Paperback || Geoff Bender e.a. || Leuven University Press
There is little dispute that photography is a material practice, and that the photograph itself is ineluctably material. And yet “matter,” “material,” and “materiality” have proven to be remarkably elusive terms of inquiry, frequently producing studies that are disparate in scope, sharing seemingly little common ground. Although the wide methodological range of materialist study can be dizzying, it is this book’s contention that that multiplicity is also the field’s greatest a...

Dirk Lauwaert. Selected Writings, 1983-2004
2023 || Paperback || Dirk Lauwaert || Leuven University Press
Radically subjective. Radically unapologetic. Radically demanding. These are the hallmarks of Dirk Lauwaert’s skill, attitude, and sensitivity, which are the result of radical attention.
Belgian writer and critic Dirk Lauwaert (1944–2013) wrote about images, be they moving or still, historical or contemporary, overfamiliar or unseen. He experienced them intensely, studied them attentively, and connected them to ethical, philosophical, or social issues in texts that invited readers to do t...
