[View this email in your browser]( [Logo] PHOTOBOOK WEEKLY  July 27, 2024 BESTSELLER We the Free Matt Eich Signed copies available! Departing from the formula of depicting a regional microcosm, We, the Free, the final photobook in Matt Eich's Invisible Yoke series, features images from the United States as a whole. Spanning nearly 15 years, the images were made as the artist came of age while the American superpower began to decline, and facing a time of increasing national tensions. This significant body of work is Eich's chronicle of contemporary American society entering a point of no return. [Pre-Order We the Free]( [View All Bestsellers]( PRE-ORDERS Extraction / Abstraction Edward Burtynsky Extraction / Abstraction presents a dichotomy of Burtynsky’s image-making imperative: the lucid and informed documentation of large-scale extractive processes, and how he transforms the landscapes of industry into complete abstractions. Other essential themes in his oeuvre such as agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure and waste also find their rightful place here. [Pre-Order Extraction / Abstraction]( BOOK REVIEW Anonymous Objects Kim Beil Reviewed by Brian Arnold "The new book by Kim Beil, Anonymous Objects, asks the reader to embrace and relish the mysteries of photography by taking note of the little, often unknowable, items that appear within its frames. The book is the fifth installment in the SPBH Essays series and is seemingly about the small objects that appear in photographs that we know nothing about, often just little things that fall outside the scope of our own experience. What do these objects represent if we don’t know what they are? Does that change how we understand a photograph? If we can’t identify an object depicted in a picture, what does it represent?" — Brian Arnold [Read the Full Review]( RECENTLY FEATURED Skinningrove Chris Killip The village of Skinningrove lies on the North-East coast of England, hidden in a steep valley it veers away from the main road and faces out onto the North Sea. The genre defining photographs that Chris Killip made of its fiercely independent working-class community, between 1982 and 1984 are possibly Killip’s most intimate work.

I Imagined It Empty is a contemplation of life after death, suggesting the idea that houses can hold people’s spirits.

[Eden]( Lines and Bodies Yasuhiro Ishimoto Lines and Bodies presents the emblematic series by Yasuhiro Ishimoto (1921-2012), combining the formal approach of Chicago's New Bauhaus with the quintessence of Japanese aesthetics. This monograph allows us to rediscover the work of a photographer who published very little during his lifetime. The singularity of his vision and his work on the motif, which sometimes went as far as abstraction, made Ishimoto a key figure in the art world, shaking up the Japanese photographic scene in the 1960s.

Some Lights Are From Fires is a memorial piece for Bosworth’s brother who died in 2022. With images made during her brother’s life, Bosworth weaves a visual narrative of love, loss, family, and the struggle of a life lived in the shadows. Hands, silhouettes, water, and fire reveal an elemental familial bond and confronts the finality of loss.
