Janus

New project announcement! We're taking preorders for Janus, by Birthe Piontek (whose first book with Gnomic, Abendlied, was selected as one of TIME Magazine's best photobooks of 2018). I'm delighted to publish this, and I wrote the essay which accompanies the work.

Abendlied was supported by an Ed Burtynsky grant; this one we're doing with a presale campaign. If you're interested, please support and share! https://gnomicbook.com/products/janus

Preorder now for delivery in October 2021 Janus is another iteration of Birthe Piontek's ongoing inquiry into the topics of memory and change. The photographs in Janus were made in the same corner of Piontek's studio as she explores how an artist can find inspiration in the limitations of a specific...

AL J THOMPSON: REMNANTS OF AN EXODUS - GUP Magazine

"Two decades later, the sound of sneakers on concrete and the laughter of children is subdued — as the black and caribbean communities have been in steady decline. Those that still remain are the central figures of Thompson’s project." Sophie Beerens for GUP: https://gupmagazine.com/books/al-j-thompson-remnants-of-an-exodus/

Al J Thompson’s Remnants of an Exodus is a project that could never have arisen from the photographer-as-tourist, or the photographer-as-investigative journalist — that much can be felt within the powerful emotion that resonates in his images. The affection and earnest intimacy, evidenced for th...

ABENDLIED BY BIRTHE PIONTEK

One of TIME Magazine’s best photobooks of 2019, Abendlied (Evening Song) examines how individual relationships in a family are shaped by the processes of growing up, aging, and eventually letting go. It reveals how this circle of life not only contributes to an ebb and flow of connection, but also to a feeling of separation within the family bond.

The project aims to look at the elements that create a family: not just the genes, but also the stories and secrets, as well as the objects that we surround ourselves with. The things that have always been there, are handed down, and make up the tangible and visible material that turns houses into homes. In this series they become poetic stand-ins for underlying emotions and the “unspeakable” that is unique to each family.
