Review Santa Fe alumnus Tony Chirinos' upcoming book, "The Precipice", is launching at #ParisPhoto2021. The book is separated into three main bodies: surgical photographs of living subjects; vibrant typologies of exquisitely photographed tools; and the journey to the afterlife. "The Precipice" draws back the curtain to a world which most of us never see, where human fragility and resilience coexist in an uneasy equilibrium.
Available for purchase at Gnomic Book

Ryan Debolski, Like
Gnomic Book, 2020
LIKE esplora le relazioni fisiche e digitali dei
migranti lavoratori che si occupano di costruire
infrastrutture in Oman, una nazione in rapida
modernizzazione, ricca in olio e gas naturale.
Questi uomini, provenienti specialmente
dall’Africa dell’Est e dal subcontinente
Indiano, comunicano attraverso smartphone
largamente diffusi e a basso prezzo, che li
aiutano a superare l’isolamento sociale che
affrontano lavorando nei campi per anni. Nel
momento in cui nuovi amici entrano in contatto,
altri spariscono senza lasciare traccia, senza
più dare proprie notizie: i lavoratori vengono
deportati per varie ragioni, o smistati in diversi
campi della regione.

I'm excited to be included in 'Primal Sight', a visual anthology of contemporary black and white photography edited by Efrem Zelony-Mindell and published by Gnomic Book! Presale starts today - more info here:
https://gnomicbook.com/products/primal-sight
Primal Sight includes works by 146 artists and essays by David Campany and Gregory Eddi Jones. "The project, curated by Efrem Zelony-Mindell, includes the works of intergenerational, interdisciplinary, and intersectional artists, each questioning the perceived order of things. These interrogations center on issues of race, gender, philosophy, and praxis, subverting traditional notions of black-and-white imagery into something feral and queered, possessed of previously unimagined possibilities.
These works embody a mastery of what is strengthened or weakened by the light inside them. Beyond our individual differences, there exist universal commonalities in the ways humans try to make sense of the world; as our fluency with visual vocabulary changes, these images change accordingly."
[PhotoBook Awards laureates]
Paris Photo and Aperture Foundation, in partnership with Delpire & Co, are pleased to announce the winners of the 2020 Paris Photo–Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards.

In the following week Shane Rocheleau will take over our channel and present images of his first monograph 'You are Masters of the Fish and Birds and All the Animals'.
Masculinity, we’re told, over and over again, is undergoing a crisis. In recent years, the phrase “toxic masculinity” has filled the room like a sour smell. Shane Rocheleau’s first monograph, You are Masters of the Fish and Birds and All the Animals, is an exploration of the space he occupies as “a white American male trying to contend with the entitlement my culture confers upon me”, he explains. Privilege is invisible; those who have it often don’t see it or chose to actively ignore it.
Shane Rocheleau was born in Falmouth, Massachussetts in 1977. He received his BA (1999) in Psychology and English from St. Michael’s College in Vermont, a Post-Baccalaureate Cerificate (2005) in Fine Art from Maryland Institute College of Art, and his MFA (2007) in Photography and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).
His first monograph, You Are Masters Of The Fish And Birds And All The Animals (YAMOTFABAATA), was published in April, 2018 Gnomic Book. His second, The Reflection in the Pool, was published in April, 2019 Gnomic Book.
He currently lives and works in Richmond, Virginia.

“My body changed in every aspect, so I started to look at myself through my camera”. (🇳🇱 below) This video accompanied a limited edition artist' book (‘Half Light’) by Iranian photographer Shahrzad Darafsheh, a 37 year old artist who was battling cancer in Tehran at the time. Right now, she is in quarantine, like many of us. ‘Half Light’ offers us a window into her life and experience through her sickness. It invites us into a country which many of us have no knowledge of, or visibility into. It’s also an experiment in storytelling as the experience varies depending on what language you read the bilingual book in. When read in Farsi, from right to left, the result is very different from that which an English reader will experience. Darafsheh’s work was on show in the booth of Ag Galerie in Iran during Unseen 2019. Buy this limited edition book on Gnomic Book.
🇳🇱 “Mijn lichaam veranderde in elk opzicht, dus begon ik door mijn camera naar mezelf te kijken”. Deze video vergezelde een limited edition kunstenaarsboek (‘Half Light’) van de Iraanse fotograaf Shahrzad Darafsheh, een 37-jarige kunstenaar die in deze periode tegen kanker vocht in Teheran. Op dit moment is ze in quarantaine, zoals velen van ons. ‘Half Light’ biedt ons een kijkje in haar leven en in hoe zij haar ziekte ervaarde. Ze nodigt ons uit in een land waar velen van ons weinig over weten. Het is ook een experiment in het vertellen van verhalen, aangezien de ervaring varieert afhankelijk van de taal waarin je het tweetalige boek leest. Wanneer je het boek in het Farsi leest, van rechts naar links, is het resultaat heel anders dan wat een Engelse lezer zal ervaren. Darafsheh's werk was te zien in de booth van Ag Galerie in Iran tijdens Unseen 2019. Je kunt dit limited edition kunstenaarsboek kopen op Gnomic Book
