Oblivion pt. XII

When I was selecting the photos for this post I realised that I hadn't uploaded images from my series "Oblivion" since December last year! To make up for it, here are some photographs I've taken since I bought the Contax T2 4 months ago.

You can check the rest of the series here and on my website.

I'm also starting a new personal project next weekend. I want to keep it secret until I publish the first photos, but here's a clue: Glasgow.

Last Days of College

Sorry about the lack of updates but I decided to take a little break this summer and spend most of my free time on my side project Future Positive.

I took these photos a few weeks ago and they were published in Bast Magazine. My friend Danielle Coates helped me again with the styling and the model is Anton Jones.

You can see the rest of the photos from the editorial on my website:

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.

Sunday Zine Review #97: Simple Partial Seizures by Helen Korpak

Simple Partial Seizures by Helen Korpak is one of the books that SSE Project sent me a few weeks ago.

Helen is a Finnish photographer, currently living and studying photography in Helsinki. Simple Partial Seizures is a series of photographs specifically shot for the SSE Project during the first months of 2012. 

These images are a reflection of what Helen was going through during this months, a mix between loneliness and pain. Helen refers to this period as strange times and says how she wanted to create a context where the more neutral photos from the book, like the flowers and portraits, would feel a bit gross and disturbing.

You can find out more about Helen on this interview with Dazed Digital and purchase the book on SSE Project's website.

This is one of the two zines that Jakub brought from Wroclaw when he went to film a new project for Future Positive a few weeks ago. This publication is part of a series of books published by Fundacja Sztuk Wizualnych (Foundation for Visual Arts), an independent, non-profit arts organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of the visual arts in Poland.

25/25 is a project by Polish portrait and documentary photographer Bartlomiej Lurk. In 25/25, Bartlomiej analyses 25 years of his dad's life, documenting the objects that surrounded him to try to find out who he is and used to be. 

The book is a collection of photographs documenting all these objects that belonged to Bartlomiej's dad, including love letters, postcards and family photos taken before Bartlomiej was born. It also features the first doodles drawn by  Bartlomiej together with his dad.
