Etnomanie – Ellie Uyttenbroek / Available at www.draw-down.com / This #tribal style bible from #fashion stylist #EllieUyttenbroek (known for the Exactitudes photo series that inspired Vetements) presents a personal selection of modified images from the #ethnographic photo collection of the Nederlands Fotomuseum. Using her eye for fashion, Uyttenbroek selected one hundred posed portraits, dating from the 1850s to the recent past, focusing on individual expression, silhouette, pose, outfit, styling, body adornment, accessories, and other fashionable details. The starting point for selection was style, popularly understood to mean something akin to attitude, approach, habitus, bearing, modus, manner, and taste. In addition to historical information, Uyttenbroek reports her stylistic and idiosyncratic observations, making the viewer aware of the beauty and autonomous visual power of the different portraits. The World Collection of the Nederlands #Fotomuseum is renowned for its ethno-historical pictures from the Middle East, North Africa, Asia and the Americas. The collection centers on mankind and his environment, from 1850 to now, in all of its manifestations. Designed by Mary Pelders Vos. Published by Nai010 Publishers (the Netherlands).

The Hobbyist / Available at www.draw-down.com / What happens when #photographers and #artists incorporate hobbies into their work as a means of challenging established #practices and hierarchies? How do #hobbyists represent their passions photographically, particularly today, in our era of #digital communication and #cellphone cameras? The Hobbyist is the first major #publication to explore the relationship between photography and #hobbyculture in connection both to the photographing of hobbies and to photography as a hobby. From the hippie cultures and avant-garde tendencies of the 1960s through the DIY #culture of the 1980s to today’s maker movement, The Hobbyist explores photography’s engagement with a wide variety of lively, often quirky obsessions. The book, produced in a #magazine format to accompany an exhibition at the #Fotomuseum Winterthur, brings together short anecdotal texts, artist interview, in-depth essays and works by Jeremy Deller and Alan Kane, #BillOwens, Chris Burden and Mike Mandel. Edited by Olivia Baeriswyl, Doris Gassert, Pierre Hourquet, Anna Planas, and Thomas Seelig.
