Giacomo Brunelli – Venice
Giacomo Brunelli’s neo-noir photography recasts a tourist’s paradise as an altogether stranger and more lonely place. Noirish and full of mystery, they take one of the planet’s most tourist-crowded cities and recast it as an altogether stranger place. Venetian iconography like the famous gondolas tends to fade further into the background, and we find ourselves drawn to the shapes and textures of the city’s classical architecture, following anonymous silhouetted people as they draw us into its quiet corners and overlooked spaces.

Loisaida: New York Street Work 1984-1990
In 1984, Tria Giovan moved to a tenement building on Clinton Street on New York City’s Lower East Side. Over the next six years she wandered the streets photographing as if in a foreign land. Loisaida, as some knew it, was as gritty, authentic and humble, as it was exotic, vibrant and colorful. The melding cultures and humanity she encountered inspired these photographs. Giovan left the neighborhood and the work behind in 1990 and the negatives languished until the pandemic. Resurrecting this series through editing, scanning, and sequencing for book form, the photographer gives a contemporary perspective to historical photographs. Part preservation, part humanistic engagement, this project contributes to an historical visual legacy of the ever-evolving, always evocative Lower East Side. Published by Damiani Book and including an essay from Sean Corcoran, senior
curator, prints and photography at the Museum of the City of New York. 96 page Hardback.
Ellie Davies ∙ Into The Woods
Ellie Davies is a fine art photographer who completed an MA in Photography at the London College of Communication in 2008. Ellie has been working in the forests of the UK for the past ten years, producing work which explores the complex interrelationship between the landscape and the individual.
Ellie’s work explores the fabricated nature of landscape by making a variety of temporary and non-invasive interventions in the forest, which place the viewer in the gap between reality and fantasy. Creating this space encourages the viewer to re-evaluate the way in which their relationship with the landscape is formed, and the extent to which it is a product of cultural heritage or personal experience.
This new book looks at her latest series Chalk Streams as well as work from earlier bodies of work including Fires, Stars, Seascapes and Between The Trees. The book includes an essay by writer and publisher Christiane Pratsch Monarchi.
Hardback, sewn soft touch laminated cover. 48 pages.
