This is a
book of staged situations in the carriages of the Ukrainian Railway System. Photographed
by former Carriage attendant (and graduate of the Ukrainian Railway Academy) it
is a fun journey through space, time, gender, and sexuality.
Jon Casenave
takes us into a beautiful heart of darkness in images where his homeland ( the Basque
Country) is elemental, ancient, and wild.
Rabbit/ Hare – David Billet and Ian Kline
This is a
roadtrip of a book (the destination is Texas) with one of the great cat
pictures of all time, and a level of ambiguity that can befuddle the careless
reader.
Woman GoNo’gree – by Gloria Oyarzabal
This is a considered,
thoughtful, and beautiful rumination on the dangers, prejudices, and
responsibilities (past and present) in representing African women. It doesn’t
have any answers, but it does ask questions through both word and image.
A les 8 al Bar Eusebi – by Salvi Danes
A bar, a street, a prison, a panopticon, Salvi Danes wraps
them all into a superbly sequenced flow with nods to film, fashion, and masculinity.

A book styled after a dossier that is titled after the 1528
people murdered by Indian government forces in Manipur, one of the eight states
of Northeast India. It’s dark in every way.
Human Territoriality – by Roger Eberhard
This is a book of maps, borders, and the arbitrary ways in which
our world is shaped; economically, geographically, politically, and on the back
of a cigarette packet, it’s all in this book.

This is a beauty of a book, with multiple papers,
transparencies and moods taking us on a journey into the snow country of northern
Japan.
Erna Helena Ania - by Tomasz Laczny
A handmade publication from the Reminders Photography
Stronghold workshop, this tells the story of Laczny’s German grandmother and
how she fell in love with his Polish grandfather. In 1945.

Post - a newspaper
publication by Tim Williams, Callum Humphreys and Philip Jones
This is the wild card of the selection which was the most heartfelt publication of the year for me. It tells the story of growing up, and being Welsh, in
north Wales. It’s direct, it’s political, and it’s a scathing read.
