Thanks for the review! "With its 17 photographs and 7 journal entries, it is a humble publication that punches way above its weight. There are hefty photo-tomes with five times as many images that do not do half as much."

Review by Hans Hickerson · A contemporary trend in photobooks is to be clever and mix in various and sundry subjects in an attempt to add meaning and depth. Sometimes this works, but often it doesn…

🖤 Join us on the third floor at the 2026 ICP Photobook Fest for the launch of “Where The Spirits Got Stuck” by Claire Daly.

Blurring memory, performance, family archive, and photographic fiction, “Where The Spirits Got Stuck” lingers in the uneasy space between presence and disappearance. Claire Daly’s images move through domestic interiors, inherited histories, and staged gestures that feel at once intimate and uncanny.

🕒 3:00 PM — Saturday, May 9
📍 Third Floor — International Center of Photography 
84 Ludlow Street, New York City

📚 Stop by to see the new release alongside recent Immaterial Books titles throughout the weekend.

Immaterial Books is pleased to present “A Dead Tree in Our Yard, A Vibrant One on the Highway”, a new zine by interdisciplinary artist Brandon Ichiro Tani , produced in collaboration with Los Angeles–based creative studio Two Pants. .edition

This 24-page zine brings together a sequence of fragmented images and moments that reflect the conditions of contemporary life.

Moving between proximity and divergence, the work engages with the experience of time as both accelerated and diffuse—shaped simultaneously by global systems and intimate, localized encounters. The publication forms what the artist describes as an “impossible present,” where layered temporalities and everyday observations coexist in tension.

Tani’s practice spans lens-based media and sound, often exploring the relationship between the everyday and the unseen, assembling images and field recordings into larger asynchronous forms.

The publication is released in an edition of 100 and will be available at the LA Art Book Fair, with copies also presented at the ICP Photobook Fest
