"Photographic Atlas of the Moon explains how the Earth and the Moon are locked together in a co-dependent embrace, each affecting the other in ways that affect our lives on this planet. The reader will learn in an understandable jargon-free narrative the differing geologic details of the Moon, some of which can be seen with the naked eye, allowing an appreciation of the diversity of lunar landforms. Although the author is an accomplished deep sky astrophotographer, his current passion is re-popularizing the Moon within the amateur astronomy community by explaining the origin of the Moon, the evolution of its face, and introducing its geology to Moon lovers everywhere. Robert has perfected image processing techniques that allow the amateur astronomer, using modest equipment, to exceed the quality of Earth-based professional lunar photographs taken during the Apollo era. In addition to a complete photographic guide to the surface of the Moon in 32 distinct regions, sections of this book include: The Moon We See (Phases, Libration, Eclipses), the Moon's Orbit, the Moon's Surface (creation, age, composition and appearance), the Geology of the Moon and more"--

Re-creating the Citadel and the Photographs of Kaveh Golestan is a political archaeology of a little-known crime committed in the early days of the nascent Islamic state in Iran in 1979. The starting point and artistic core of the book are sixty-one photographs taken between 1975 and 1977 by photographer Kaveh Golestan, who documented Tehran's red-light district a few years before it was violently set ablaze and wiped from the urban landscape and social memory. The book recovers the site and the social and spatial experiences associated with the area: its relationship to human life, the polis, social aesthetics, politics and dynamics, and the relationship between marginal and metropolitan citizenry. The project restores it to social memory and the public domain as a catalyzing moment in the establishment and preservation of a state-imposed project of violence against citizens and history itself. KAVEH GOLESTAN (1950-2003) was an Iranian photojournalist and artist. The first exhibition of the recovered material curated by Vali Mahlouji was showcased at the Foam Museum of Photography, Amsterdam (2014), and then traveled to the Musée d'art Moderne, Paris and MAXXI Museum, Rome (2014 2015). Consequently, the materials toured Photo London Fair (2015), Tate Modern, London (2017-18), Rohtas Gallery2, Lahore (2020), De le Warr Pavilion (2019), and Arnolfini (2019-2020). Tate Modern acquired the project in 2016.

Arnell's take on the world has had a significant impact on the history of design. As a branding expert, as a creative mind, as a source of ideas in the fields of fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and architecture. He has directed global campaigns, designed iconic products, and advised well-known personalities. Often his photographs not only provide the blueprint for entire marketing strategies, but also create their own trends, such as the Brooklyn Bridge , which became the signature image for the then newly founded DKNY label. Peter Arnell is a master of images and a designer of his environment, both aesthetically and conceptually. City Visions focuses on Peter Arnell's urban photographs. Although most were taken in NYC, they are more about the idea of the city: light and shadow, about shapes and contrasts-a poetic-abstract visual flux of images that is a pleasure to the eye. PETER ARNELL (*1958, Brooklyn, New York) began his career with Robert A.M. Stern and Michael Graves, where he supervised various book publications. In 1980 he founded Arnell/Bickford, specializing in design, branding, and product development. He has created campaigns for Samsung, Chanel, Gucci, Pepsi, Reebok, Chrysler, Nespresso, and the Special Olympics. His New York Times bestseller Shi ft: How to Reinvent Your Business , YourCareer, and Your Personal Brand was published in 2010. HatjeCantz published a major survey of his work in 2022: Peter Arnell,Portfolio, 1980-2020 .

"What is the relationship between peace and photography? How are artists and curators motivated to convey narratives of peace and not just stories of war? Does the digital afterlife of iconic images reveal societal shifts towards conflict transformation? Providing interdisciplinary and international perspectives on important research questions, Picturing Peace explores issues of identity construction, collective memory, and imagined futures in the creating and sustaining of civil societies. How things look and are perceived are not superficial issues; when it comes to war and conflict, photography is vitally relevant not only to fomenting violence, but also to rebuilding peaceful societies"--

Il magazine 'ToiletAlex PaperPrager' nasce dall'incontro tra il mondo visionario di 'Toiletpaper' e l'immaginario sconcertante di Alex Prager, artista, regista e sceneggiatrice americana. La rivista presenta un back-to-back di dodici immagini di Alex Prager e dodici di 'Toiletpaper': l'estetica accattivante, i colori forti e i cortocircuiti visivi propri di 'Toiletpaper' amplificano il mondo di Prager e viceversa. Il sottile confine tra realtà e finzione che l'artista indaga attraverso un uso peculiare di archetipi, oggetti del quotidiano, humor e allegorie, è al centro di un'esplorazione ambigua e seducente. 'ToiletAlexPaperPrager' fa seguito a 'ToiletMartin PaperParr', la speciale edizione che nel 2018 ha raccolto le immagini più iconiche dei prolifici archivi dell'artista di fama internazionale Martin Parr e del duo Cattelan-Ferrari.

Francesco Gioia's collection, "57," rejoices in the undiluted magnificence of the photographic medium. In the vast expanse of photographic expression, Gioia's work stands as a bridge between palpable reality and fleeting dreams. Each frame is a story echoing with the hustle and bustle of street life, capturing fleeting moments that, in the grand tapestry of existence, might seem inconsequential. Yet, through Gioia's lens, they become profound, with a universal resonance. They remind us that even in the commonplace, there exists a depth of story, emotion, and humanity. Gioia's philosophy is encapsulated in his belief that beauty in today's world often goes unnoticed, lurking in the corners, waiting for the discerning eye to uncover it. "True beauty," he says, "when it appears today, remains concealed, shining from unexpected places." With every photograph, Gioia challenges us to seek out these hidden gems, to truly see, and in doing so, discover the concealed wonders around us.
