Over the past 30 years, French photographer Antoine d'Agata (born 1961) has undertaken various journeys in Mexico. As a photographer, d'Agata tends to focus on societal taboos like addiction and prostitution, and embroil himself directly in these darker parts of human nature. "It's not how photographers look at the world that is important," d'Agata has remarked. "It's their intimate relationship with it." This book is a record of the photographer's Mexican travels, a tense, immobile diary of his experiences in the devastated landscapes of an increasingly volatile criminal society. Still images, cinematographic narratives and texts make up a personal diary that, through intimate, sexual and narcotic encounters, constructs an increasingly sickening reality. Mirroring his journey as he wanders through a lonely and marginal world, d'Agata's photographic language seems to fracture and degenerate page by page. As a whole, Mexico presents a complex, difficult portrait of a period that has been constructed as a time of lawlessness and criminality in Mexican society. D'Agata structures the book around six photographic movements, relating directly to different times in the contemporary history of Mexico. These chapters suggest ruptures in the continuity of history, even as D'Agata creates a narrative of descent into pain and savagery.

The otherworldly beauty of Barcelona-based printing duo Angel Albarrán and Anna Cabrera's recent photographic interventionsFor years, Barcelona-based Angel Albarrán (born 1969) and Anna Cabrera (born 1969) have been the printers for museums and world-renowned photographers. Recently they have branched out as artists themselves, experimenting with new and traditional print techniques and exhibiting worldwide. In addition to mastering traditional techniques such as platinum prints and cyanotypes, they have developed a unique print technology: printing photographs with pigments on thin Japanese paper, which is then placed over gold leaf, imbuing the images with an otherworldly quality. One of the most gorgeously produced volumes of recent years, Albarrán Cabrera: Remembering the Future demonstrates the extraordinary beauty of the duo's masterful photographic and printing techniques. Frequent trips to Japan inform the content of these photographs, which are often beautifully abstracted by their print treatment.

The story of Emmanuel Honorato Vázquez is a tragic one, of extraordinary beauty. The conservative Ecuadoran society of his time would have preferred his work to disappear altogether: it held this rebellious, anticlerical, bohemian artist, with his unbridled vital impulse, in frank disdain.This book is a minimal introduction to the creative fervor of this great artist and to a moment in history when Latin America was awakening to confront with lucidity the whirlwind of modernity.

On April 16th, 2016 an earthquake registering 7.8 on the Richter scale struck the coast of Ecuador. One of the worst quakes in the countryΓÇÖs history, it laid bare a situation of antiquated institutions, dysfunctional processes, and unapplied norms. But it also revealed a society of courageous and resourceful people who rose up in solidarity to rebuild their lives and their environment.Siete punto ocho (Seven point eight) is a book conceived in homage to the victims of this tragedy, combining snapshots taken at the time with texts they themselves have written about the images, along with other photographs that contextualize the places affected.The narrative of this photobook by MishaVallejo and Isadora Romero proceeds slowly.The pace is one of memory and remembrance, of pondering absences, of perceiving how that sudden seismic upheaval transformed everything forever.

Xavier Miserachs (Barcelona, 1937-1998) was the youngest member of a collective which in the late 1950s revived the creativity and innovation of applied photography, all trace of which had been lost after the Spanish Civil War. He brought about a break with the past in the spirit of modernity, overcoming the constraints of the Franco regimeΓÇÖs censors, as well as the difficulties caused by the governmentΓÇÖs self-sufficiency policy. He gave up studying medicine when he discovered his calling to be a reporter, and he devoted himself professionally to photography with the vision and passion of a pioneer.This book charts a course through the era Miserachs lived in, illustrating itwith his style, his personal interests, his reports and portraits connected withthe history of the second half of the twentieth century, the various genres and uses of photography, the techniques he employed and above all the evolutionin his committed and reflective gaze, as he was always more interested in people than in the issue.The display features a selection of photographs from his vast archive, every aspect of which is encompassed for the first time ΓÇöfrom his photos as an amateur to those he took as a professional, from his black and white shots to those in colour, and from his experimentation to the work he produced to commissionΓÇö to complement those subjects that made this young photographer one of the classics before his time.

A visual road trip of UFO sighting locations across AmericaUFO Presences explores the places where UFO sightings have taken place across America: in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and of course the infamous Area 51, along South Central Nevada's State Route 375--the so-called Extraterrestrial Highway, where so many travelers have reported UFO observations and other bizarre alien activities.
