Dove / Chris Kirubi's WILDPLASSEN is a finely-wrought debut collection. The weather surrounds, as subjectivity is carefully interrogated through typographic gesture and image. Thinking with Sembéne, Glissant, Nourbese Philip and others, we are ushered into a space of translation and study reflecting on dispossession, native informants and racial categorisation. "Wildplassen" is a legal term for public urination in which wildness is invoked as an inappropriate occupation of public (urban) space. This collection transfigures the borders of air, city and landscape; language, lyric and page with instability and waywardness. WILDPLASSEN by Dove/Chris Kirubi is a wondrous book. The pages shake, an attribute of syntax that resembles brownian motion. Just as "colour bleeds right through", so does this: a capacity to "tremble" that's both somatic and formal, an improvised set of notations. In fact, kirubi extends the intergenre proposition of the collection itself to emanate "gliss.notes", fragments and lines "transcribed...while attempting to translate," a "flickering close-up of flowers", and so on. This is a stunning and moving work from the verges of poetry, performance and visual art. - Bhanu KapilAfter the rain, Chris Kirubi's WILDPLASSEN meets us in the street, as all the mundane elements of the day world begin to glisten: light diffracting in the damp sheen upon the tarmac, pavements, railings, rainbows appearing in puddles. This poetry encourages us to loiter, or to walk intentionally at the slowest pace in the opposite direction to what racial capitalism would want of us. Only then emerge the small intimacies that Kirubi is attuned to, in the correspondences between sounds, syllables, plants. Their writing forages a quiet philosophy for the page. Pirouettes of emotion --- from this everyday enchantment, to anxiety and grief --- "encourage the recovery of all dreams". Come, pluck up your velveteen ears from beneath your raincoat, and remember to wash your hands. - Nat RahaFor Fans of: Victoria Adukwei-Bulley, Dionne Brand, Momtaza Mehri

I Will Pay to Make it Bigger is a novella and photobook by poet and visual artist Ahren Warner. Through text and image, the book searches for a way through a network of related subjects, ideas and feelings: the consumption of pleasure, freedom and hedonism; the purchase of feeling; the construction of (particularly male) identity as a cultural product, and the fragility of that construction; the fine, blurry lines between acquisition, enjoyment, love and desire, and the way any and all of these can be used to fill holes in our selves, even if only momentarily, and even if destructively. The book is also a work of both autofiction and docufiction. The photographs were produced during three months documenting 'party hostels' in Thailand. Yet, for all that these photographs might seem to exist as the documentation of 'moments', they are in fact quite painstakingly constructed: almost always beginning their lives as several still frames from film footage which have been composited and processed at length to reintroduce an artificial sense of movement, to become both a record of movement and hedonism, and a fictionalised artefact of impulse, drive and motion, that speaks directly, and on a level of materiality, to the concerns of the novella, whilst never illustrating, and only very rarely interacting directly, with the text itself.

A new edition of photography's most famous book in a revised format. The Decisive Moment (Images à la Sauvette in French) is one of the greatest photography books ever published. It brings together photographic material from the first twenty years of Henri Cartier-Bresson's career. Images à la Sauvette was published in 1952 by Verve, with an original cover by Matisse. It was the result of a collaboration between the photographer, the famous art critic and publisher Tériade, and the painter, at the peak of his career. The American version, published the same year by Simon and Schuster, was the first to introduce the now-famous expression "decisive moment". The book, which reveals the intrinsic duality of Henri Cartier-Bresson's work, the combination of intimate interpretation with documentary observation, received tremendous critical acclaim within the art world and is considered a "bible for photographers", in the words of photographer Robert Capa. It remains an essential reference for photographers to this day. The original book, now out of print, has become a collector's item. The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson sought to make this classic photography book accessible again, in a smaller and practical format, at an affordable price. The latest print features the same material as the original 1952 edition, and is accompanied by a comprehensive study of the book's making, its enduring popularity and the considerations behind its title, written by Clément Chéroux, Director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson.

The portraits of models by the renowned actor, filmmaker and photographer Vincent Perez, born in 1964, is a distinguished Swiss actor, filmmaker, and accomplished photographer. Known for his captivating performances in films such as "The Crow: City of Angels" and "Queen Margot," Perez has seamlessly navigated between European and Hollywood productions. In addition to his acting prowess, he has ventured into directing and gained recognition for his work behind the camera. Vincent Perez's passion for photography further highlights his artistic versatility, making him a notable figure in the global entertainment and visual arts landscape. His photographic work focuses on portraits, in the line of Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. In this book, Vincent Perez immersed himself in an emblematic location of the School of Paris : La Grande Chaumière, an art school that did not teach the strict academic principles of the École des Beaux-Arts but rather encouraged artistic freedom. Many famous 20th century artists attended this school like Zao Wou-Ki, Balthus, Miró or Louise Bourgeois, following the teachings of Bourdelle, Léger and many others. Vincent Perez took portraits of models on film using the natural light of the painters' studio as an hommage to the models and painters of the bubbling 1920's Montparnasse like Kiki de Montparnasse and Modigliani.

Delving into the realm of visual storytelling, Pénicaud captures moments with a keen eye for detail and emotion. Whether capturing urban landscapes, portraits, or nature scenes, her photographs convey a sense of intimacy and storytelling. Pénicaud's passion for photography serves as a creative outlet amidst her demanding political career, allowing her to connect to the world in a different, more contemplative way. In Matrix of Worlds, Muriel Pénicaud presents the trilogy of her first three exhibitions: "Wind under the Wings", "Wind into the Soul" and "Wind into the Roots", each one focusing on a specific subject matter: birds, women and trees respectively. From the trees, she draws resilience and patience. In the birds, she sees freedom, space and transcendence. With women, she feels a sense of community and tries to show their inner power. In presenting these themes together, Muriel Pénicaud is touching something of the mythological origin of the world, as these elements are present in many cultures throughout the planet.
