Day 16 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 16, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Ditto Press are consistently one of our favourite publishers, who combine fascinating content with beautiful design. As such, we generally look forward to any of their new releases but the newest one was one we were especially excited about. ‘Skinhead: An Archive’ is behind door number 16 on the Miniclick Photobook Advent calendar… Of all the sub culture groups emerging from Britain in the last forty or fifty years, Skins are likely the most divisive, most controversial and most misunderstood and […]

Day 15 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 15, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Earlier this year, as part of Brighton Photo Fringe and Biennial, we helped organise a photobook fair, where we were fortunate enough to be sat next to Fishbar Gallery. One of the books they had for sale that really caught our attention was Phillipp Ebeling’s’ Land without Past’. It lies behind door number 15 of the Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar… In a body of work that has echoes in Glen Erler’s ‘Family Tree’, Phillipp revisited the German village that was his home […]

Day 14 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 14, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

GOST featured heavily in our Photobook Advent Calendar last year, partly down to the quality of the work they published, but also down to the care and attention that goes into the design. Behind today’s door of the Photobook Advent Calendar, Lou takes us through a new GOST edition, Rafel Milach’s ‘The Winners’… Published in 2014 by GOST, Rafal Milach’s new book, The Winners, is a collection of images made by Milach in Belarus from 2011. The project (neatly outlined on […]

A bit later than we planned today, but blame that on a hangover from our Christmas Party last night. Behind today’s door on the Photobook Advent Calendar is Mark Power’s latest edition. Take it away Jack Latham… Last month saw the arrival of Mark Power’s latest book, ‘Die Mauer ist Weg!’ (‘The Wall is Gone’). Self published, the book was released 25 years to the day of the fall of the Berlin Wall. In what became a career changing period […]

Who else would we feature on the day of our Christmas Party, but Peter Dench and his book ‘A&E’ behind door number 12 on the Advent Calendar. Take it away Bryony… Eat, drink and be merry! It’s Christmas time and what better way to celebrate than by enjoying Peter Dench’s perfect portrayal of drunken Britain in his book titled simply A&E (Alcohol & England).

December 10, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Today on the Grand Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar (the original photobook themed, internet based, advent calendar), Jim takes us through a book we saw in dummy form sometime ago and have been excited about ever since. It’s Alexandra Lethbridge’s ‘The Meteorite Hunter’… A lot of photo projects attempt to look for something different in the everyday, it seems like a common theme, but not many explore it in such a fascinating and well executed manner as Ally Lethbridge’s ‘The Meteorite Hunter’, […]

Way back in March 2014, Jon Tonks came over from out West to give a talk for us in Brighton about Empire – a huge, ranging project that took book form in an imprint from Dewi Lewis. Jim Stephenson picked it out as one of his favourites… From 2007 onwards Jon Tonks travelled over 60,00 miles around the Atlantic Ocean to visit some of the most remote remaining outposts of the British Empire, spending at least a month on Ascension Island, […]
