The Eriskay Connection

Dutch studio for book design and an independent publisher focussing on contemporary storytelling at the intersection of photography, research and writing.

Eriskay is a remote Scottish island. To get there many steps are necessary travelling by plane, train, bus and ferry. These steps connect the small island to the large world and vice versa. And this is precisely the objective of The Eriskay Connection. The Eriskay Connection is a Dutch studio for book design and an independent publisher of art books at the intersection of photography, research, so

cial issues and science. We are particularly interested in projects that map relevant matters, provide insight into the world we live in, tell a story, make a statement, expose a history or give directions to our view on the future. Since 2011 the love for designing books inspires us in creating a publishing path that takes us into the unknown. On our way we find travel companions who accompany us in contemporary publishing structures. By sharing experiences we aim to find new companions, alternative routes and discover unexpected destinations.

NEW RELEASE
Interstellar Nights (Mario Wezel)

During a warm summer, as Mario Wezel ‘s (DE) family weaned their younger son, he installed a thermal camera above the family bed. Over five nights, it recorded the quiet routines of waking, feeding, carrying and comforting. The resulting thermal images transform the bed into an interstellar landscape where mother, father and child move around one another, connected by care. By placing himself within these scenes, he presents fatherhood as an ongoing practice of presence, connection and shared responsibility. Emerging from the darkness, printed in silver ink on black paper, the glowing bodies trace the fragile and continuous movements of care.

FORTCOMING

We Eat the Earth (Crystal Bennes ) explores the ways in which our collective appetite reshapes the Earth and how the production of nutrients required for agriculture impacts our political and physical environments.

From Sweden to Western Sahara, England to occupied Palestine, Germany to the Netherlands, this book maps the material flows of nitrogen, potassium and phosphate fertiliser between eight key sites. We Eat the Earth reveals the destabilising global impact of fertiliser production and the devastating environmental and socio-political consequences of its extraction, production and management. Finally, through its focus on a small, but expanding group of farmers committed to producing food without the use of fertiliser, the project also offers a hopeful view for the future of agriculture.

CROWDFUNDING
MYTHOS (Baptiste Lignel)

‘Mythos’ is a project by Baptiste Lignel (FR) that examines the representation of gender-based violence in the history of Western art. Through photography, the project focuses on paintings and sculptures from the 15th to the 18th centuries depicting scenes of sexual violence from Greco-Roman mythology, in particular the narratives from Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses’. Many of these works are celebrated masterpieces in museum collections, yet the stories they portray raise pressing questions today about power, violence, and the ways these images have been presented and interpreted over the centuries. The publication is complemented by essays from art historians and museum professionals.

You can now support Baptiste Lignel by pre-ordering his book or purchase a print (link in bio)
