Seasons Series draws inspiration from Kim Ki-Duk’s seminal film Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring in which different actors, for each season, play the same character who is abandoned on a lake next to a floating monastery. The film specifically focuses on the shifting nature of the seasons and its effects on the protagonist’s fosterage. The books take their lead from the film in that simple and profound ideas, human passions and spirituality can be perceived differently depending on the season. Seasons Series is a quarterly book series, in which a group of artists are brought together under one vision with a focus on each artist’s singular way of seeing. Each of the books in the series will focus on differing subjects and all monographs will showcase the artist’s unique approach to photography. All the books in the series will maintain the same size, dimensions and page count. The first 25 of each will come as a special edition containing a print. Published in 2018 by Libraryman First edition of 500 copies ISBN 978–91–88113–14–6 21,5 cm x 27,5 cm. 32 pages. 18 color plates. Color offset printed paperbound hardcover. Linen thread bound. White headband. Typography on front cover, spine and back cover in white foil.

Ron Jude – Vitreous China
Books & MagazinesRon Jude’s (b. 1965, American) Vitreous China is comprised of an archive of photographs he made while exploring areas of light industry in (primarily) Midwestern American cities. Rather than comment on the workings of industry itself, Jude depicts the ambient peripheral zones suffusing these environments: big rig parking lots, side exits, and other secondary spaces in which Jude imagines his grandfather might have daydreamed, or let his mind wander, during his many years as a kiln operator in vitreous china plants, first in the Midwest, and later in Southern California.

Supplanting the narrative inadequacies of photography with an alternate experience of atmospheric immersion, Jude exploits the seemingly factual, descriptive traits of the medium while also pursuing moments of subjective transcendence. Like the paradoxical relationship between the surface beauty of vitreous china (an enamel coating applied to porcelain) and its blunt, utilitarian function (strengthening toilets & sinks), the photographs, interwoven with a series of short texts by Mike Slack, attempt to tease out an experience that embraces both the physical crudeness of these spaces as well as the intangible complexes of memory and narrative encoded within them.

Mansur Gavriel – La Flower Market
Books & MagazinesFlowers and plants are thorough denominators for Mansur Gavriel, founded in New York City in 2012, working as visual symbols for brand communication and ideology. These visuals have become synonymous within its advertising, stores and social media. The flower market, photographed by brand collaborators Tanya and Zhenya Posternak (b. 1988, Ukrainian) of which the book is named after, is the special place where founders Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel went and planted a seed for what they have now grown together.

Library Man – A Selection of a Decade
Books & MagazinesLibraryman was founded on the primary principle of realising contemporary photography in book form—consistently concise and limited edition. From a relatively insular aesthetic endeavour, initially a few titles were published each year, which has gradually and organically grown for each existing year. A Selection from a Decade is published on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Libraryman by showing the width of the imprint and summarising the operating years with a selection of endearing pictures from an ever-growing catalogue.
