Green Hair Monsters. Pearls Fan Xi. 4b(3).

For Fan Xi, books are artistic creations, not simply records of created works. In this case, Green Hair Monsters and Pearls are video works rather than bodies of photography, thus introduced into a book format as still images, the approach to conveying narrative necessarily shifts. Fan Xi’s premise here begins from a month spent on the Malaysian island of Pulau Dinawan in 2019. In book form, each of the two video works that resulted from the sojourn is transposed into a separate volume, of a sequence and texture intended to evoke a sensual association with the world that the original videos explore. From the lives of local workers, to the dense mazes of jungle vegetation and open stretches of water, Fan Xi conjures the local environment through glimpses of light and form that juggle between the meditative and the threatening, harmony and harm. All those fragile human emotions that produces belief in gods and spirits, deftly captured here.

GOOD LIFE. Meike Männel.

Good Life was awarded with the German Photo Book Prize 21/22 in silver. 
Good Life is a hybrid of a photobook and an artist catalog that summarizes the work from 2017 to 2021 by artist Meike Mann& (b. 1991 in Nuremberg, Germany). It’s the first book Mannel published after her graduation from Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg, Germany and goes hand in hand with her exhibition at Kunsthaus Nurnberg in Nuremberg. in order to realize this project, she applied for a debutant promotion. 
Meike Marine’ works mainly on different ongoing series, a selection of which is presented in the first part of the artistbook. After a paper change beginning halfway, there are two texts about Manners work by art historian Dr. Teresa Bischoff (former professor of Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg) and writer Anna Hofmann (masters study at Deutsches Literaturinstitut Leipzig). In the back of the book, her more experimental photo silkscreens and photo installations are shown. 
Marine seeks to preserve the ephemeral with this project. The shown motifs deal with the longing for distance, the uncertainty and the question of survival. In loud and softer colors it presents a world that often lies unnoticed in front of us and whose aesthetics one takes for granted, without recognizing what is special about it.

Mono Awase. Fumiko Iwawaga.

“For over 12 years, I have been revelling in the joys of motherhood with my children, experiencing the miracle that is the human body and dtscovering. the ordinary but beautiful moments in our daily life. I have also been immortalising these wonderful impressions of our peaceful family life with my own camera. Despite these fulfilled and joyful periods with my three children, I felt tired and sometimes deeply melancholic when I looked at myself in a mirror. My body looked so different. My body had started to show the first signs of ageing. It was the beginning of self – conception – the beginning of self – realisation that I should observe every part of my body minutely, take care of myself and love myself. And unwittingly, I began to capture myself, on impulse, on camera, and in a very intimate way. My body became my muse, my object of reverence, my most important tool to create photographic art.”

The Inventaire Déraisonné is a visual archive work. The images, here juxtaposed in a form of automatic writing, come exclusively from found books and then cut out, the artist thus creates 420 pages made up of 2427 images. Anatomical details, ancient sculptures, industrial architectures…These shots come mostly from encyclopedias, dictionaries, as many books that have become obsolete at a time when knowledge seems accessible from any screen. These images constitute a hinterland, a cartography of representations archived by the mind.
