From Darkness Into Light
This journey began with a simple desire to connect with fellow film photographers. What started as a casual meet-up soon blossomed into a regular gathering where we shared skills and tips on getting the best out of our film cameras, whether they were 35mm, medium-format, 110, folding, rangefinder, or single-lens reflex. From the luxurious Leicas to the charmingly affordable Prakticas, every camera produced stunning photographs-once the light leaks were fixed and the focus was spot on.But it wasn't just about the technicalities; it was about forming conversations and creating a dialogue around our shared passion.Over the past year, a diverse group of photographers found themselves exploring cities, parks, train stations, and woodlands, all in pursuit of bringing their subjects from darkness into light. Our challenges were reviewed in a WhatsApp chat, where we critiqued each other's work while always offering encouragement. Those who were timid at the start have grown into confident artists, deeply passionate about their craft. Regardless of age, we have all learned from one another and found motivation to create more.This book, featuring 124 photographs from 12 photographers, is a visual essay of that journey. For some, it may feel like a spiritual experience; for others, it's the joy of using old technology with its four simple features: film sensitivity, iris, shutter, and focus. Through a mix of calculated precision and serendipitous guesswork, we've crafted this collection of photography.
Notes of Ingress
Notes of Ingress is a mesmerizing and deeply mysterious work that eludes ordinary classification. Is it a book? Not in the traditional sense. A living threshold is what it is; a collaboration between the living and the dead, scribed by Cain Helsson through the voices of spirit-possessed mediums. Its structure is deliberately disorienting, weaving together overlapping voices, contradictions, and harmonies. Indeed, if one were to describe it periphrastically, it could be said to mirror-both in its nature and in the reader's experience of it-the chaotic and multifaceted world of spirit contact.The foreword of the book, written by Arthur Veil, sets the tone with a warning: this is not a work for the curious or casual reader. It is meant for initiates-those who already stand within or just beyond the "circle of initiatory fire." The prose is rich and archaic, and I imagine it would work even better as a read-aloud. Its rhythms echo the ancient cadences of grimoires or esoteric manuscripts. The content is spiritual and a bit surreal, with a narrative that bounces around to the various parts of the personality, like a film that jump cuts between parallel storylines.One of the most striking aspects of Notes of Ingress is its authenticity. The voices of the spirits-whether they are the dead, the never-born, or figures like Lucifer-feel palpable and immediate. The book's visual elements, crafted under the guidance of Lucifer himself by illustrators like Fares Kaze, are not mere decorations but transmissions in their own right, adding another dimension to the work. The interplay between text and imagery creates a holistic experience that transcends the written word.The book thematically investigates the transitional spaces that exist between life and death, between what is seen and what is unseen. The practices it describes-like shape-leaping, night-sitting, and spirit possession-are rooted in ancient traditions yet feel fully relevant today. Of note is a section detailing the Benandanti, a secret society of spirit-warriors who do battle with witches in dreamlike realms. Its description of the Benandanti's rituals and initiations and of the Lombard's gift of witch-fire is so vivid that it renders the realm of the mythical undifferentiated from that of the real.Still, Notes of Ingress poses challenges to readers. With its non-linear narrative and multiple intersecting voices, the text can feel a bit like a maze. And let's face it: the old-timey language isn't going to appeal to everyone. But these features are very much the book's design. Like any good ghost story, Ingress wants to unsettle, to make you confront the dark and the unknown.To sum up, Notes of Ingress is a profound and disturbing esoteric work of literature. It is a mirror, a blade, a maze, and a key-all at once. For those who are ready to traverse its shadowy pages, it offers not only understanding but also transformation. Cain Helsson and the spirits who guided this work have crafted something truly unique: a book that is not only read but also lived through, a doorway to places beyond the veil.

Modern Japanese Painting Techniques
This book makes it easy to create and admire wonderful Japanese-style paintings and portraits! Modern Japanese-style paintings are recognizable by their restrained use of three-dimensionality and perspective, reliance upon expressive lines, and the bold use of color to direct the viewer's eye. There are other ways that artists imbue their work with Japanese- inspired attributes, including through the skillful use of shape, texture, and facial expression. Author Shinichi Fukui introduces readers to 7 notable modern Japanese artists (Kazuo Kawakami, Chiaki Takasugi, Miho Tanaka, Ryohei Nishiyama, Jose Franky, Ryohei Murata, and Keiji Yano) who specialize in shin hanga-style portraiture of Japanese women. He then presents instructions to create 21 different original paintings--from sketching models, preparing and mixing paints, blocking in color, and rendering fine details. Using these techniques, and a bit of acrylic paint, readers will be able to create eye-catching works of art that express a timeless Japanese aesthetic.

Radical Worker
Timothy Speed - neurodivergent artist, poverty theorist, and relentless disruptor - throws himself between assembly line, boardroom, and bureaucratic frontline. As a Radical Worker, he refuses the paycheck as measure of worth, working instead by moral coherence, ecological resonance, and existential sense. Whether infiltrating corporations undercover or applying to run Germany's state TV, Speed exposes the deep protocols of a system that converts dignity into obedience and creativity into currency. For the Artistic Research community, this book proves that art isn't commentary - it's infrastructure. Research happens in real-time, in real life. For Critical Autism Studies, it's a rare inside-out account: autistic intensity, rule clarity and focused resistance sharpen into a tool that cuts through institutional myth. For anyone forced to work - or forced not to - this is a living roadmap: self-determined labour, basic income, and the politics of commoning are not just imagined here - they're practiced, tested, lived. Speed flips the script: poverty is not a lack, but a refusal to play by a broken game. Forced labour is social exclusion. And the true metric of wealth? The time left untouched by the system's noise. Radical Worker is manifesto, fieldwork, and survival guide - a call not to adapt, but to remake the world from the bottom up.

Mass Performance
Mass Performance: Systems and Citizens examines mass performance systems from the first major festival of the French Revolution through the democratic and socialist movements of the nationalizing nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Europe, to totalitarian communist and socialist regimes in the twentieth century, ending with contemporary North Korea. While other scholars have studied specific mass performances, this study synthesizes the phenomenon across centuries and countries, focusing on its systemization. Modern nations defining or redefining their identities not only organized mass performances, but also planned to make those performances a permanent component of nationhood. Kimberly Jannarone reveals that mass performance systems, from synchronized gymnastics to choreographed rallies, encapsulate ideals and debates within emerging nations about the relationship of citizens to each other and to their leaders, playing a generative and reflective role in the culture and politics of the modern era. Mass Performance analyzes the specifics of performance choreography and design, the organizational planning and thinking behind the systems, the material circumstances of each system's emergence, and the broader intellectual milieu in which they developed. Although not a comprehensive study of such events, Jannarone's analysis of the selected mass performance systems yields new theoretical perspectives on these phenomena, a central focus of her study being how political leaders find ways to create a physically coordinated mass body politic, even during times of hardship and war. By interpreting and historicizing mass assemblies of bodies, this study analyzes the choreographies and organizations that brought thousands of people together as an ensemble and kept them together in meaning-making motion.
Ken Gonzales-Day
Through visualizing, absence, and erasure, Ken Gonzales-Day reveals the deeply political act of seeing, forcing us to reconsider the histories we inherit. Ken Gonzales-Day's work confronts the role of the visual in conveying history or in history's absences, including bodies and spaces deliberately erased, forgotten, or never acknowledged. As illustrated and discussed in Ken Gonzalez-Day: History's "Nevermade," his photography, film, drawing, and painting interrogate race and power, questioning how bodies are seen, rendered, or made invisible. His art moves between presence and absence, compelling viewers to confront their own position in relation to systems of oppression and representation. This volume, accompanying the exhibition of the same name, offers the first comprehensive study of Gonzales-Day's practice. Organized around his major series, sections of the book--including Rethinking History, Collecting Race, Forging Community, and Redrawing Boundaries--explore how his work engages with archives, bodies, museums, and public space to challenge institutional narratives. Through critical analysis and over one hundred full-color images, Ken Gonzales-Day: History's "Nevermade" illuminates the profound political and theoretical stakes of his art. Essential reading for students, scholars, and practitioners in art history, photography, museum studies, American history, and decolonial and queer studies, this book is a testament to the power of art to reckon with the past and imagine new futures.

Agnès Varda
 A pioneer of the Nouvelle Vague, an indefatigable experimenter and manipulator of audiovisual materials, and more recently a brilliant creator of exhibitions and installations, Varda succeeded in interpreting the changes of a rapidly transforming world, al竅ways open to encounters with others and to social, aesthetic, and technological innovations. Sustained by an insatiable, encyclopedic passion for images, and by the spirit of a gatherer-glaneuse who knows how to transform the archive into a living entity, an inexhaustible generator of new stories and inventions, her work astonishes with its thematic and formal richness, while retaining an unmistakable "Varda style".

W.m. Hunt's Talks About Art [ed. By H.m. Knowlton]

The Book of Caligomos Art
The Book of Caligomos Art introduces an original philosophical and artistic theory known as Caligomos Art Philosophy (C'ArtP). This theory interweaves three core concepts: Caliginosity (the obscure, shadowy, and mysterious dimensions of existence), Kosmos (the interconnected and harmonious order of the universe), and Metaxy (the transformative space "in-between" opposites). These core ideas form the foundation for a new way of approaching art, creativity, and cultural understanding.At the heart of the book is a triadic framework of Transcendence, Paradigm, and Reality (T/P/R), which serves as a lens through which all artistic creation and human experiences can be interpreted. Drawing from ancient philosophies, including those of Plato, Heraclitus, Lao Tzu, and Buddhist and Daoist traditions, alongside modern thinkers like Ken Wilber, Carl Jung, and Ned Herrmann, the book offers a vision of how art can act as both a spiritual and cognitive map for human evolution.The book unfolds across multiple dimensions: Historical exploration from Mesopotamia to a speculative future, Symbolic geometry (Torus, Pyramid, Rhombohedron), Dualities and paradoxes such as Dialetheia and Enantiodromia, Philosophical synthesis between rationalism and intuitionism, Case studies and critiques of artworks, A gamified application of C'ArtP in the form of a board game called C'Elysium, designed to help players navigate life through creativity.With its poetic language, interdisciplinary structure, and ambitious vision, The Book of Caligomos Art invites readers-artists, philosophers, educators, and visionaries-to transcend dichotomies and engage in a more holistic and creative interaction with reality.
