Started as a visual diary, 'Ravedeath Convention' soon grew into a hybrid of autobiography and fiction. While love, joy and friendship are explored, violence and excess come about too, often captured only as traces and symptoms. A collision of different, occasionally mismatched, cultural symbols stresses the all-embracing blend of subcultres as a fundamental feature of our times. The first pictures taken at age thirteen, this series of black and white images is the edit of a continuous process of photographing, revisiting and reworking over a span of ten years. In the crippled prints the physical presence of body and photograph merge, celebrating human imperfection. The title references Tim Hecker's album 'Ravedeath,1972'.

Shortlisted for the 2020 Lucie Foundation Prototype Book Prize, the Perimeter International Book Prize for PHOTO2021 and awarded silver for the 2020 BIFA Documentary Photo Book Prize, The Quickening is a record of an ambivalent and fraught journey through the first year of motherhood and the postpartum period.This unique and handmade book has a limited run of 250 copies, redolent of the number of days of gestation before the premature birth of the author's son. Additionally, 30 special editions were created to reflect the number of days left until the child's projected due date. Prior to publishing, the project has won multiple recognitions, including honorable mention in the Julia Margaret Cameron Award, a finalist place in the Vevey Images Grand Prix, participation in the celebrated group show titled, "Birth," at TJ Boulting Gallery in London and a solo show at Rencontres d'Arles in France in 2019.The Quickening explores the transformation and lived experience of a woman in her motherhood/matrescence and postpartum depression/anxiety. The work interrogates the under-represented transition of biological, psychological and social identity during a complex and yet ubiquitous phase of life.You begin your life in expansion. From rolling to crawling to walking, your reach moves outwards from infancy through to adulthood. At the cusp of motherhood, everything instantaneously moves in reverse. Your world begins to shrink, to coalesce into the tight sphere of domestic life. What was once the sun is now the light in your living room. What was once the road, becomes the hallway to the bathroom. Everyone you once knew, becomes the squalling baby in your arms, suddenly unknowable, inconsolable and opaque in their needs and wants. As the external landscape of your old world shifts from mountains to lakes, the change also begins within. In increments and then suddenly faster and faster, you become internally unrecognizable. The task of navigating this new geography, the new days and nights, how you eat, how you sleep, how you love - this seismic transition - is called "matresence".The Quickening details the claustrophobia, myopia, paradoxical loneliness and luminance of this transformative time.

A secret generation's story is told by the person at the heart of it all. Drugs. Overdoses. Murder. A coroner's inquest. Showdowns with the police, media, and government. Long before EDM, raves were the illicit dance parties of myth and legend. They happened mostly in secret, beneath the surface of society while everyone else was sleeping. Requiem for My Rave tells the story of best-selling DJ and world-class promoter Anabolic Frolic, who found himself at the leading edge of 1990s rave culture. While Anabolic Frolic fought to build a force for good for his many dedicated fans, he found himself at the center of controversies he never could have imagined. Requiem for My Rave is an explosive memoir where Frolic shines a light on this generally misunderstood subculture. His powerful personal story is about the one person that found himself at the heart of everything, the steep price he paid, and the lessons that endured. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Chris Frolic, better known to fans around the world as Anabolic Frolic, was the DJ behind the ground breaking electronic music series Happy2bHardcore.

A wordless, quarantined dialogue in flipbook form Every day, throughout that tumultuous spring of 2020, Dutch artist Erik Kessels (born 1966) and French artist Thomas Sauvin (born 1983) sent one another idiosyncratic, uncaptioned photographs, catalyzing an organic, free-associative exchange of some 120 archival images. Atelier Éditions' author Kingston Trinder then composed an equally free-associative, altogether-whimsical narrative with which to further entwine the duo's eclectic photographs. These two archives of vernacular photography, one from the East, the other from the West, achieve a dialogue through the recurrence of photographic practices, aesthetics and subjects. Talk Soon, a tearaway postcard book with a spiral binding, allows readers to endlessly juxtapose the delightful photographs selected by the two quarantined artists.
