Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rimaldas Viksraitis (born 1954) cycles around the desolate farms of his native Lithuania with a camera tied to his bike. The resulting photographs expose the post-Soviet disintegration of village life, against a funny-sad backdrop of perennial drunkenness and buffoonery. The book's images were selected by famed photographer Martin Parr, who describes Viksraitis' works as "slightly insane and wonderfully surreal."

Book excerpt: Rimaldas Viksraitis (Litouwen, 1954) toont in Heden foto's uit zijn 25 jaar omspannende oeuvre. Het is de eerste keer dat zijn werk in Nederland geexposeerd wordt. Bij de tentoonstelling verschijnt een gelijknamige publicatie. Viksraitis is een van de beroemdste hedendaagse fotografen uit Litouwen. In 2010 heeft hij onder redactie van Martin Parr het boek 'Grimaces of the weary village' gepubliceerd. In 2009 won hij de Prix Découverte op het fotofestival in Arles. Zijn werk wordt vaak vergeleken met dat van Boris Mikhailov. Viksraitis werd vooral bekend met zijn documentaire foto's waarmee hij een levenswijze vastlegde die snel aan het verdwijnen is. De foto's zijn heel intiem, het is alsof je bij de gefotografeerde mensen aan tafel zit, ergens in een afgelegen gebied in Litouwen. Drankgebruik en de daarmee gepaard gaande 'ongedwongenheid' leveren veel grappige taferelen op, maar het dagelijks leven van de geportretteerden is dat allerminst. Exhibition: Heden, the Hague, the Netherlands (23.11.2012-12.1.2013).

Book excerpt: It is carnival in south-western Germany: On the streets of Endingen and Sachsenheim, Kissleg and Singen, Wilfingen and Triberg, the elaborate and lavish costumes of the Swabian-Alemannic tradition are paraded. The fashion and portrait photographer Axel Hoedt from the area of Breisgau in Germany shows the carnival revellers and their disguises beyond established clichés and radically breaks with carnival iconography. No breath taking somersaults in front of the crowds and romantic timber framework, no crazy goings-on but revellers in earnest pose, in front of a bright background, in a forest or in front of customary functional buildings. Classical studio shots, Polaroid snapshots and still life images are juxtaposed. Hoedt regularly confronts the quaint masks with the wintry-rigid scenery impressions and reminds us of what carnival used to be: a last jamboree before the dawning of hard times. Axel Hoedt was born in Freiburg in 1966 and studied photo design at the University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld. He has lived and worked in London since 1999. Axel Hoedt has received numerous awards such as the Gold Medal of Lead Awards in 2010 and the Otto-Steinert-Preis of the German Society of Photography in 2011.

Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the 2020 Lucie Foundation Prototype Book Prize, the Perimeter International Book Prize for PHOTO2021 and awarded silver for the 2020 BIFA Documentary Photo Book Prize, The Quickening is a record of an ambivalent and fraught journey through the first year of motherhood and the postpartum period.This unique and handmade book has a limited run of 250 copies, redolent of the number of days of gestation before the premature birth of the author's son. Additionally, 30 special editions were created to reflect the number of days left until the child's projected due date. Prior to publishing, the project has won multiple recognitions, including honorable mention in the Julia Margaret Cameron Award, a finalist place in the Vevey Images Grand Prix, participation in the celebrated group show titled, "Birth," at TJ Boulting Gallery in London and a solo show at Rencontres d'Arles in France in 2019.The Quickening explores the transformation and lived experience of a woman in her motherhood/matrescence and postpartum depression/anxiety. The work interrogates the under-represented transition of biological, psychological and social identity during a complex and yet ubiquitous phase of life.You begin your life in expansion. From rolling to crawling to walking, your reach moves outwards from infancy through to adulthood. At the cusp of motherhood, everything instantaneously moves in reverse. Your world begins to shrink, to coalesce into the tight sphere of domestic life. What was once the sun is now the light in your living room. What was once the road, becomes the hallway to the bathroom. Everyone you once knew, becomes the squalling baby in your arms, suddenly unknowable, inconsolable and opaque in their needs and wants. As the external landscape of your old world shifts from mountains to lakes, the change also begins within. In increments and then suddenly faster and faster, you become internally unrecognizable. The task of navigating this new geography, the new days and nights, how you eat, how you sleep, how you love - this seismic transition - is called "matresence".The Quickening details the claustrophobia, myopia, paradoxical loneliness and luminance of this transformative time.
