Steve Carr is a visual artist and senior lecturer in Film at the University of Canterbury’s School of Fine Arts. Born and continuing to work out of New Zealand, he has an MFA from the University of Auckland’s Elam School of Fine Arts. Carr’s work has always been about moments of magical transformation and the interrelations between performance and the lens. Book Featuring more than 200 photographs of a ballet prodigy apprenticed to the Royal New Zealand Ballet, Carr’s debut book presents a serial composition in 12 parts, choreographed and performed by fingers, forearms, tendons, palms, wrists and thumbs. At once an interactive object and a performance space, it manifests the dynamics of movement, and invites us to dance with it. Judges’ Comment An original concept that combines performance, dance, photography and film, into a beautifully executed photo book. An emotive and meditative object that draws you in as a participant rather than just an observer. RRP: $52.00 BUY NOW |

C O M M E N D E D AREOGLYPHIC - Volume 1
by Chloe Ferres Published by Self Published Images courtesy of NASA, JPL, University of Arizona Printed by Blurb Pages: 48 Size: 220 x 280 Edition of: 25 Binding: Perfect bound, softcover Printing: Digital offset Paper: Satin 118gsm Photographer Chloe is a Sydney-based creative. Her inclination for monochromatic abstraction is often manifest in her experimental photobook practice that celebrates print as an antidote to the intangibility of digital images. Book AREOGRAPHY (the scientific study of the geographical features of Mars) + ANAGLYPHS (stereoscopic images created with two superimposed photos) = AREOGLYPHIC (a limited edition print publication consisting of areoglyphs). Judges’ Comment This simple but fantastic project portrays Ferres’ passion for experimenting with book making. By utilising scientific images of Mars cleverly presented as #anaglyphs, and providing #3D glasses, the exotic landscapes of glaciers, volcanoes and otherworldly terrain comes to life.

Book
The Pines is inspired by a low income estate that was established by the Australian Housing Commission in the 1950s on a site once occupied by a pine plantation, and is now one of Victoria’s most notorious crime suburbs. It is a documentary project that explores a subculture where drugs, violence and crime are fuelled by socio-economic struggle. Judges’ Comment Beautiful and tender photography. It sparks your curiosity right from the start, but the story unfolds slowly care of the placement and pace of images on the page, giving you space to create your own reading.

On the Sea Stands a Rock is a visual conversation between new and old images. It weaves together photographs from family albums, vernacular images of unknown origins, and his photographic response to the found images. The simple, collages explore family history, lost memories and personal identity. Judges’ Comment An art object that succeeds in making banal photos interesting. It is a great example of how to produce a collage with vernacular and contemporary photography in an exciting way. The sequencing works perfectly RRP: $150.00 BUY NOW |
