In 2009 Hennric Jokeit travelled from Zurich to Cape Town for the first time. Over the next six
years, he frequently returned, documenting the port city and tourist destination in his distinctive
photonegative style. 'Goodhope' gathers this imagery into a striking narrative of life in South
Africa's oldest city. The book explores Cape Town's natural magnificence, post-industrial
character, and widespread urban poverty. Included is an essay by South African art critic Sean
O'Toole. He tracks Cape Town's transformation from agrarian outpost of empire into an industrial
hub founded on ruthless capitalist ethos.

As everybody knows, you can't really leave the family roots behind. You can run away, try to
escape, but mostly it does not work. The family and its history are just part of your life. And when
Nathaniel Grann dedicates his book to his father, mother, stepfather, and stepmother, one can
imagine that there was a lot going on at home. When the photographer, already grown-up, spent
another three years in his mother's house, he confronted himself with the strange furniture and
furnishings, the sometimes peculiar preferences of the mothers and fathers, the Christmas
visitors - the beautiful and the painful memories.

Berlin and London - big cities. But how do we experience and understand them? There are the
landmarks, the distinctive places, streets, and squares. But people who live in cities have different
coordinates - their home, their quarters, their recurrent paths to work, the park, the restaurant, or
the theatre. Silke Helmerdig loves to live in big cities and she photographed her everyday life in
Berlin and London. The impressions and impulses change in staccato. Houses, people, street
scenes, details - fleeting, like the many moments that a big city offers or overtaxes its inhabitants
with daily.

Angela Brohen photographs placeless places in popular holiday locations in the Mediterranean
and Atlantic regions: Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote, La Palma, Liguria, Cinque Terre,
Mallorca, Madeira, and Lisbon. The pictures seem to always transport us simply somewhere else,
a nameless place beyond time and space. Despite that everything portrayed in Brohan's
photographs is familiar - houses, trucks, containers, parking lots, trees, ships, traffic lights, fences
and walls - they nevertheless resonate with a certain peculiarity, a surreal sense of fantasy.
These places are easily overlooked, yet at the same moment quite actual and present, waiting to
be discovered.

Michael Etzensperger draws our attention to the impact that images of traditional masks from
non-Western cultures had on the early modernists, by using images of masks collected from a
variety of anthropological and other publications as starting points for new composites. By
superimposing two masks, they merge and disrupt their initial representations, making them
elusive – lines multiply, colours blend, hairstyles become more complex, faces are altered. For
many ethnic groups, the mask is part of a ritual for entering into contact with a higher world, and
subsumes the wearer’s identity. Etzensperger breathes new life into these frozen objects,
changing their form.

'CAVA' is published to coincide with an eponymous exhibition in Seravezza, Italy, to which Hans
Bol contributed his photographs of quarries in the region. After first visiting and becoming
fascinated by the marble mines in 1986, Bol has since returned to the area regularly, observing
how the landscape, despite being laid open, mutilated, and torn, can been seen as a sort of
dynamic work of art, constantly moving and changing. Even so, his pictures acknowledge the
irreversible damage that this process causes to nature, and the contradiction has motivated him
to also seek out abandoned quarries in which nature is making a vain attempt to mask this
evidence of violence.

Bialowieza Forest, which stretches through portions of Poland and Belarus, is one of the last and
largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest that once stretched across the European
Plain. In 2016, under the pretence of its protection, Poland's Environment Minister approved
extensive logging in the forest. In 'Cry of an Echo', Malgorzata Stankiewicz offers a haunting
glimpse into the depths of this ancient and beautiful place, currently under threat of being
completely transformed, or even disappearing forever. Her manipulated images, murky and
seemingly damaged, build a narrative of untold histories and the irreversible changes brought on
by contentious political decisions.

"A horse appearing from a gourd". This Japanese saying is used when something completely
unexpected, even unbelievable, happens. It refers to a legendary immortal being who owns a
horse that can be conjured as if by magic from a gourd - a reminder that, in life, the unexpected
can happen. Nature is fickle and unpredictable. For Charlotte Dumas, this is an important
principle. The book centres on the basic elements of life, its vulnerability and resilience, as
Dumas brings myth, imagination, and the transient nature of life together. Her own images, made
over the past four years in Japan, are shown with historic photographs, objects, and prints from a
variety of collections.

In (Zus), a visual essay by the French photographer Benoit Fougeirol, views of and views from
eleven of the "Zones urbaines sensibles" (Sensitive Urban Zones) on the peripheries of Paris
reveal harsh paradoxes of modern society. These poor, marginal districts were defined by
administrative boundaries in response to the "emergence of a social problem." Through the
synecdoche of architecture-its materials, patterns, and surfaces-Fougeirol presents the stubborn
vitality and dereliction of the Zus-and the failures of collective imagination that they represent.
(Zus)documents each territory with an inventory comprising photographs, graphic
representations, and toponyms, none of which alone can account for a totality. The book's
cumulative structure raises questions about the tools of representation and the nature of
individual perspective.

This issue of the contemporary art photography magazine from Asia introduces eight figures who
are actively involved in the independent art publishing world. It focuses on how artistry in itself is
mandatory in the progression within Asia's so-called publishing ecosystem, taking examples from
Taiwan, China, Korea, and Japan. The cover story features Japanese photographer Go Itami,
and a focus piece examines Korean photographer Seung-Woo Yang. While the former artist
deals with how attributes of contemporary photography can be presented in book form, the latter,
who also studied in Japan, pursues an authentic, documentary-style photobook.

Patrick Galbats is a Luxembourger with Hungarian roots. His grandfather had to leave Hungary in
1944 and spent the rest of his life as a stateless refugee. In recent years, Galbats undertook a
series of trips to Hungary. And what began as a search for the roots of the family developed into
a profound exploration of the complex history of a constantly changing country. The first part of
the book shows landscapes along the Serbian-Hungarian border, which symbolize the political
refusal of Hungary to welcome refugees on its soil. The second part deals with issues of national
identity and sovereignty, nostalgic memories of Greater Hungary in the borders from 1919 and
emblems and symbols of an aggressive political climate.

Chikako Watanabe attended art school in Kyoto and later also in Amsterdam, where she currently
lives and works. The consistent theme of her art is local communication. The purpose of her
projects is to stimulate social interaction and create new communication opportunities for people
within modern society. Small questions and curiosity for daily life are her primary inspiration. This
artist's book documents five of Watanabe's projects: Survival Net Project, Tide, Lloyd Life, Island
Tracing, and Dog Folly. She draws parallels between isolated communities in the Netherlands
and Japan, compares handmade fishing nets in Asia, and conceives a folly for canines on an old
Dutch estate.
