Inspired by the unending horizons around him, Rousteau retreated to the darkroom to invent mental topographies of his own, reducing the landscape down to the barest constituent elements – water, air and light. These constructed landscapes invite us to consider the point where human imagination interacts with the landscape - how fantasies of distance, displacement and faraway places are projected onto the horizon. Existing somewhere between vision, imagination and a surreal, submerged reality, Rousteau extends this fiction through globetrotting captions and an innovative design that invites readers to rip away and reappropriate the seascapes as their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e128pp, 64 colour plates, 160 × 240 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwiss softcover perfect-bound with cold glue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN 978-1-912719-28-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose Joints, July 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRARE - OUT OF PRNT. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#333333\" style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOut of stock, limited quantities from publisher stock.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40231711309981,"sku":"9781912719280","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6019\/7533\/products\/Paul_Rousteau_Seascapes_ensemble.jpg?v=1626355266"},{"product_id":"falling","title":"Gabby Laurent – Falling","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eA fall from grace, falling asleep, falling pregnant, falling in-line or falling apart: falling is an act both comic and tragic, full of loss and wilful abandon, an act repeated throughout our lives. Reflecting on personal situations of bereavement and new life, Gabby Laurent’s performed choreography of falling is a space for self-reflection, allowing her body to repeatedly give way to gravity and create a visual space to contemplate time, fate and circumstance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWhat is it to fall?

Drawing on the visual language of feminist and performative art practices, \u003cem\u003eFalling\u003c\/em\u003e explores an abandoning of self-control and embracing of fate. However, dig deeper and we discover there is a contradictory element to Laurent’s images; for if falling is essentially accidental, then Laurent’s subversive and intentional performances capture a moment of control, rather than the loss of it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThere is a striking sequence of photographs featuring the artist precariously rising from a set of starting blocks whilst heavily pregnant. There are the ubiquitous slipping socks on the stairs, and the dramatic fall from a bicycle. Other, smaller moments capture Laurent’s body in pure free-fall, suspended within a photographic web of grain and blur, liberated from the landscape. Different moments and gestures are reversed, intermeshed, repeated or contradicted within the staccato, broken sequences of the book, inviting us to consider our relationship to the different daily experiences that wash over us and elicit reactions – a flickering, Muybridge-esque procession of emotions and states of mind. Each gesture elicits the same viewer response – the sharp draw of breath when we witness a stranger fall in the street. But more than simply comical acts of failure, Laurent’s work equally represents a gesture of defiance, as the artist inevitably picks herself up and dusts herself off.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/loosejoints.biz\/collections\/special-rare\/products\/gabby-laurent-falling-poster\"\u003eAccompanying poster edition also available\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e144pp, 155 × 232 mm, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e72 colour and duotone plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOTA-bound debossed softcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose Joints, June 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40231715078301,"sku":"9781912719273","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6019\/7533\/products\/Gabby_Falling_ensemble.jpg?v=1626284040"},{"product_id":"hedda","title":"Fin Serck-Hansen – Hedda","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOver the last five years, Norwegian artist Fin Serck-Hanssen followed and documented the gender confirming journey of close friend Hedda, who from her early twenties travelled from Oslo to Buenos Aires and Bangkok to undergo cosmetic surgeries and a vaginoplasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSerck-Hanssen and Hedda’s images are made collaboratively to build a complex portrait of both physical and psychological changes within a young person’s life and show with unflinching honesty the realities of Hedda’s confirming, surgeries, and recovery.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHedda\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ereflects on the construction of identity in the 21st century, mixing her selfies and curation of an online identity against Serck-Hanssen’s tender but direct portraiture of her most vulnerable moments.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#333333\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe book also bears traces of this identity being shaped: dark, almost imperceptible images, heavy with overprinted black ink, show the traces of photographs of that Hedda chose not to disclose of herself. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHedda\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efinishes with an immersive short fictional story by novelist Genevieve Hudson, exploring ideas of ambiguity, transition and change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e104pp, 50 colour plates, 235 × 320 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbossed hardcover with tip-in, multiple gatefolds and papers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewith a short story by Genevieve Hudson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned by Mevis \u0026amp; Van Deursen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by Tommaso Speretta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose Joints, July 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40231715537053,"sku":"9781912719266","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6019\/7533\/products\/Ensemble_15Jul16.jpg?v=1626363149"},{"product_id":"see-you-cry","title":"Rahim Fortune – I can’t stand to see you cry","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A year and change into father's diagnosis, his nightly calls began to become more frequent.

She focuses her attention on lives that overlap with the river but whose activities often go unnoticed, like ship-spotters, who log the continual stream of vessels that pass through Tilbury, and mudlarks, who comb the city sludge for Roman and Saxon treasure. Above the tidal Thames, which transforms the landscape twice daily, the young river meanders gently through the verdant countryside. There, Dewe Mathews encounters neopagan rituals, eccentric coracle builders, and the custodians of royal swans. Far from holding a fixed identity, the Thames becomes a protagonist in a series of ceremonies and practices that flow seamlessly downstream, from boat burning in Oxford to evening prayer in Southend; from mass baptisms to teenage rites of passage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its status as one of the most iconic and well-documented rivers in the world, the Thames documented by Dewe Mathews invites you to look beyond the river to consider religious and secular rituals, and how meaning and identity are constructed through practices both big and small, private and public.

As a key inspiration for Italian fashion house Marni, Davison was invited by Creative Director Francesco Risso to spend time and indulge in the pace of life and creativity in these rural communities. Photographing everything from weavers and indigo dying to children, animals, cities and nature, the openness and lush tones of Davison’s work suggests an interconnectivity between landscape and development, or between tradition and modernity. However, rather than focusing directly on the much-documented material culture and aesthetics of the Miao, Davison’s images preoccupy themselves with the backdrops, workshops, faces and hands that shape Miao culture. Song Flowers eschews the intricate and grandiose to look at the intimate and everyday - the hammers laid down after a day’s silverwork, the highway running over the waterlilies, or the stray threads accumulating in the weaver’s workshop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIn Miao culture, the epic folktale of the Butterfly Mother tells of their founding ancestor, who lays 12 eggs on the tops of their verdant, mountainous region.

Davison’s work attempts to capture that vivid poetry written into the landscapes of Southwest China, as well as to create song flowers of his own: to capture the feeling, rhythm and texture of life amongst Miao communities.

Long known as one of the world’s most beautiful mountain valleys, since the late 1980s it has become synonymous with a political and sectarian conflict which strikes at the very heart of India’s identity. Delhi-based Sikka travelled throughout Kashmir in 2014 and 2015, to attempt to make some sense of this troubled region through his own personal experience. Taking inspiration from Mirza Waheed’s novel \u003cem\u003eThe Collaborator\u003c\/em\u003e, which tells the story of a young Kashmiri man’s struggle with his own sense of self buffeted by the exigencies of history and the present, the resulting project is a meditation on the rich, green landscape and those who have lived and struggled within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central core of \u003cem\u003eWhere the flowers still grow\u003c\/em\u003e is comprised of portraits of young men, shot alone within the colossal grandeur of an unspoiled landscape that seems to know nothing of national borders and political rivalries. The men stare at Sikka’s camera, which stares back at them, as if their silent images hold within them millions of words needed to explain everything. Having fused portraits of Kashmiri men with their landscapes, Sikka set out to record the more personal details of his visits, photographing objects found in homes but also animals, abandoned buildings, and elements of nature. These details provide a mise-en-scene for Sikka’s project, articulating a more nuanced interpretation of the region and its inhabitants, as well as highlighting the endless contrasts between the bucolic, indifferent natural world and human and individual lives and dreams. What we are ultimately left with is Sikka’s emotional response to his visits to Kashmir, the residual evidence of traumatic events, and the mute witnesses to the convulsions of history.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n120pp, 45 colour \u0026amp; 16 duotone plates, 220 x 260 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"project-description-container\"\u003eTrimmed hardcover with frayed linen edges and tip-on\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"project-description-container\"\u003eLoose Joints, September 2017 \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40231815839901,"sku":"9780993430374","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6019\/7533\/products\/Ensemble_Sep23_FlowersGrow.jpg?v=1633594931"},{"product_id":"paintings","title":"Harley Weir - Paintings","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePaintings\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eby Harley Weir presents images made as a form of digression from her traditional photographic practice.

Beyond that, it is also about the space of production in which the photographic image appears, about the processes involved—and thus the formal decisions that she makes as an artist. And it is about the space of ideas, the intellectual exploration, in other words, that she incorporates into her work.

Frioul is an archipelago in space and in time: these islands have been the scenario of apparently unrelated events that make up a mysterious constellation. In 1516 king Francois I ordered a fortress to be built on the island of If, which was then used as a prison in the XVII century. Its most famous inmate was Edmond Dantès, the protagonist of Alexandre Dumas’s The Count of Monte Cristo. Inside one of its cells, it is still possible to see a hole Dantès made in a wall in an attempt to escape. On the 24th of January, 1516, the first rhinoceros to be ever seen in Europe was unloaded on Ratonneau. The animal was being shipped to Pope Leon X, and Francois I, king of France, hurried there to admire the beast. On its way to Rome the ship ran into a violent storm and sank. Albrecht Dürer later made a woodcut of it from a sketch that was sent to him. On the 31st of July, 1944, Luftwaffe pilot Horst Rippert shot down a P-38 Lightning, which fell into the waters of the archipelago together with its unfortunate pilot, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. A bracelet bearing his name was found by a fisherman in his net while fishing near Pomegues decades later. Ghost Stories is a series of photographs which is meant to weave together all of these events, occurred in the same space but at different times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e192pp, 240 × 190 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHardcover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eText by Federico Clavarino\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTrilingual edition: English, Spanish, Catalan\u003cbr\u003eEdiciones Anómalas, coedition Consell de Mallorca, 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40449600684189,"sku":"9788409303076","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6019\/7533\/products\/Ensemble_15Jul9.jpg?v=1626364876"},{"product_id":"david-luraschi-ensemble-print-edition","title":"David Luraschi – Ensemble Print Edition","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003ePrint edition of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ensemble.biz\/products\/david-luraschi-ensemble\"\u003eDavid Luraschi's \u003cem\u003eEnsemble\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003ecomprising a 10x12\" silver gelatin darkroom print, signed and numbered by the artist in an edition of 50 copies, with a signed copy of the book.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40449825636509,"sku":"","price":200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6019\/7533\/products\/David-print.jpg?v=1626367756"},{"product_id":"ian-whittlesea-becoming-invisible","title":"Ian Whittlesea – Becoming Invisible","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis beautiful volume is a guide and a visual primer that draws on the literature of Rosicrucianism, theosophy and esoteric yoga.

Borne of a sense of continuation with the past at the same time as an understanding of the difference in purpose with our ancestors, this book is the result of both a spiritual and physical journey through the ancient and contemporary landscape of my home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e— \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJack Whitefield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"publisher\"\u003e54pp, 235 \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e× 200 mm, \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eTwo colour Risograph on newsprint, \u003cbr\u003eHandmade by the artist and staple bound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-order second edition, available from October 06, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"publisher\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40499550847133,"sku":"","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6019\/7533\/products\/Ensemble_Jul2129.jpg?v=1626880686"},{"product_id":"jack-whitefield-rubble-1","title":"Jack Whitefield – FURZE","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA study of charred gorse on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese earthworks are the result of movement through burnt gorse, the accidental interaction of stick on cloth and skin, and subsequent compulsion to index the marks on paper.

There is a constant sense of forward movement that is sometimes overt, as in the photographs of supermarket checkouts or underground escalators; sometimes implicit and more emotionally charged, as when the photographer faces the inventory of possessions in his mother’s last house. But in each case these photographs deal as much with what has been left behind as with what lies ahead. They carry the inevitability of change and the psychological undertow of time passing moving forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n180pp, 275 × 210 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBare board hardback with printed jacket\u003cbr\u003eDesigned by Mevis \u0026amp; Van Deursen\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncludes essays by David Chandler and Paul Elliman\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCo-edited by Liz Jobey\u003cbr\u003eMACK, February 2016","brand":"Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40567736041629,"sku":"9781910164426","price":46.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6019\/7533\/products\/Ensemble_Sep23_DarkRooms.jpg?v=1633595746"}],"url":"https:\/\/ensemble.biz\/collections\/books.oembed?page=24","provider":"Ensemble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
