In 1958, Zürich photographer Karlheinz Weinberger first captured the likeness of Halbstarke (rebel) Jimmy Oechslin, an artistic moment which marks the genesis of this collection of images focused on young Swiss teenagers. That particular photographic encounter triggered Weinbergers life-long fascination with outsiders and nonconformists in the otherwise staid environment of Switzerland. The photographs presented in…

The geography of Mexico takes in a sprawling variety of environments—from mountains to tropical beaches, and from rainforests to deserts—so it’s no surprise that the biodiversity of the nation’s plant life is similarly diverse. This new title in the Kew Pocketbook series is a celebration of Mexico’s impressive flora, and it includes everything from orchids,…

Frazier has cultivated a practice that builds on the legacy of the social documentary tradition of the 1930s, the photo-conceptual forays of the…
LaToya Ruby Frazier’s award-winning first book, The Notion of Family, offers an incisive exploration of the legacy of racism and economic decline in America’s small towns, as embodied by her hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania.

Melancholy Objects – the Los Angeles-based artist’s first publication for Perimeter Editions – grounds the photographic endeavour in the surreal, the introspective, and the referential. Working in the tradition of the ragpicker, Smith sifts through…
