Inspired by ‘upstyles’ and weaving techniques from the 1960s of Tokyo; especially by the pioneering of famous geisha hair master Junji Noburyu (or ’Shinryu’), photographer Joe Lai (b. 1977, French) and hairstylist Heitai Cheung (b. 1989, Hong Kong) became contagious by Noburyu’s passion by applying his techniques on modern Asian women. The fundamental book of which techniques Big Hair is based on was originally referenced as a technical book, but for Lai and Cheung a new realm of magic was found within its pages, as well as for the participating models who all had dreamt about being styled with this classical hairstyle. Heitai Cheung devoted a year to perfect the techniques needed to complete the series.

Annemarieke van Drimmelen – Tadaima
Books & MagazinesTadaima by Annemarieke van Drimmelen (b. 1978, Dutch) is an intimate portrait in respect to the heartache and its beauty of a journey homeward.

At age ten Annemarieke acquired a camera for the first time, her mother’s, merely after her passing. By picking up the camera she was adept to perceive her mother slightly better by photographing small moments; her father’s hands, light reflecting on the water—it was her way of keeping a diary. In recent years she felt it essential to revisit this approach of spirit, by capturing moments during travels through Arizona, California, Paris and Amsterdam. The memory of her mother is piercing in the pictures but also cacti with wooden supports so they won’t fall, of walls, and stones, some from Georgia O’Keefe’s collection, a towel on a beach, a friend’s old chair, women, men, seen as close-up as photographically possible. A narrative of recognisable familial warmth intertwining with herself becoming a mother for the first time. Blue was her mother’s favourite color. A very dark blue. By hand printing cyanotypes (or blue prints; a technique invented in 1800’s, by Anna Atkins, a British botanist also considered the first woman photographer) for Tadaima, Annemarieke endeavoured to attain as close to her mother’s blue as she can remember. Tadaima is loosely translated from Japanese as I just came home. The book contains a preface by Annemarieke van Drimmelen, written expressly to her late mother. First edition of 700 copies. Special edition of 50 copies, numbered, in paperboard slipcase, screen printed in blue, with signed original print. Choice of 2 prints. → Shortlisted for The Agents Club Photography Awards, 2020 [/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title="+ Publication details" open="false" width="1/1" el_position="first last"] Published in 2019 by Libraryman ISBN 978–91–88113–30–6 24,5 cm x 30,5 cm. 80 pages. 69 color plates.

Katrien De Blauwer – Why I Hate Cars
Books & MagazinesFollowing her previous book When I Was a Boy, Katrien De Blauwer (b. 1969, Belgian) continues to explore her medium of « photography without a camera » in the monograph Why I Hate Cars. After studies in painting and fashion, De Blauwer began delving into a wayward artistic practice by collecting imagery from old magazines and newspapers — as a therapeutic self investigation, of which became the foundation of her work. In creating her own collages, De Blauwer reveals an inner realm as she initiate anonymous and cinematic narrations. In this particular work, she began experimenting with paint and crayons — bearing an additional layer of colors to the stories she tells.

A Study on Folds – Carlotta Manaigo
Books & MagazinesSeasons 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.
