Sunday Zine Review #100: When Our Enamel Rots by Viktoria A. Lisbet

After more than a year and a half reviewing zines almost every Sunday, I've reached the 100th review! It's an exciting time and I guess 100 is a number that could be considered a milestone. 

There won't be more reviews for a couple of months after this one. I need some time to focus on my parallel projects (Future Positive), but I promise I'll be back with some great zines. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the Facebook Page for zine-related news!

When Our Enamel Rots by Viktoria A.Lisbet is one of the Pogo Books' publications I received months ago. Viktoria is an Austrian photographer currently living in the United States who likes to shoot highly-saturated images and what he describes as scenes of "slapstick erotica".

The book is a collection of all the scenes along with a selection of some of his personal images.  Viktoria's portraits are a mixture between candid and staged situations where the subjects are presented in a surreal manner, whilst his still life photography is random and direct.

When Our Enamel Rots is the second monograph that the Austrian photographer produced for Pogo Books last year. You can find more information about Viktoria's work in this interviews with No Thoughts and Kaltblut Magazine.

Sunday Zine Review #99: 28 Pictures by Ye Rin Mok

Ye Rin Mok is a Korean photographer who has been living in Los Angeles since she was 12 years old. In this book published by SSE Project, Ye Rin Mok presents a collection of 28 photos which have a common element: the colour pink.

These photos were taken over the past few years and it was never Ye Rin Mok's intention to look for pink things although she says that pink is a very photogenic colour and that it automatically lifts her mood.

You can find more about 28 Pictures and Ye Rin Mok's work on the SSE Project's online shop.

Sunday Zine Review #98: Keikoku by Karol Kaczorowski

Keikoku by Karol Kaczorowski is also part of the book series published by Fundacja Sztuk Wizualnych, which I talked about a couple of weeks ago here on the Sunday Zine Review.

Polish photographer Karol Kaczorowski developed this documentary series Keikoku during a stay in Japon. The word keikoku has different meanings in Japanese, and in this book Karol documents all these meanings in a beautiful collection of images.

Karol uses low light conditions to create mysterious and ethereal images which are a representation of his vision of Japan. Still life and landscape photographs of the streets and suburban areas of this country are combined with portraits of its inhabitants to create a very captivating (and intriguing) book.

You can find more information about Keikoku and see more images from the series here.
