And to be held
Images for And to be held were filmed in the Philadelphia suburbs between 2020-2021 as part of a film essay focused on cinematic explorations of domestic space, light, changing seasons, neighborhood surroundings, and the examination of relational subjects not pictured but alluded to through language and fragmented dialogue. This publication functions as a schematic document, a prelude to a larger book and film utilizing epistolary forms of communication to reflect on what is often out of view from the public’s perception of our innermost relationships. Examining questions like: How do the nuances of gender, sexuality, and intimacy hide within the structure of the home? Where do we find our most embodied selves, within and outside partnership?

Bip
by Nelson Chan
Bip is a dive into the ubiquitous Bay Area nuisance of "bipping", the act of smashing car windows to break in and steal whats inside. To make the images in Bip, Nelson Chan would photograph broken windows he would see while moving through the area, and then collect the broken glass to bring back to the studio. In the darkroom, Nelson would use these glass shards to create photograms in the shape of the area left open by the initial "bip", creating works that both make whole and point out the problem in the region.
Without Digging is 36 pages, risograph printed in Maroon on Mohawk Via Light Gray paper with an RZ310. 5x8". Edition of 200 +25.
Published August 2024.

Without Digging
by Saskia Kahn
Without Digging is a collection of documents and photographs created during Saskia Kahn’s journey to the coast of Latvia, where she visited the 1941 massacre site of her great-grandfather–an unmarked industrial landscape by the Liepaja Lighthouse. Various alternative darkroom processes transformed the images, and many feature white streaks made with her fingerprints using chemigrams. By chance, this work was produced in the same summer that scientists used non-invasive radar to confirm the presence of mass graves (without digging). Part of a longer series called "I Can Smell the Water," this project reflects Kahn's pursuit to understand the relationships between land, memory, identity, and justice.
Without Digging is 32 pages, risograph printed in Violet on Domtar & French paper with an SF9450. 5x8". Edition of 200 +25.
