Most married women at that time were in charge of all household duties while living with three generations in one home. Cleaning, laundry, and preparing meals for the extended family were all the mother’s responsibility.Transparent Shoes:
“Mom, what are these transparent shoes?”

”Oh, those? They’re foot bath shoes. When my feet are cold, I wear and fill them with warm water.”
My mother gave me a birth at home, not in a hospital and she didn’t receive any proper care after. She said that something must have gone wrong then. Because, ever since, her feet always have been cold.My mother lives in the countryside and grows vegetables in a small garden.
One day, she said, “Perhaps this is the first time I’ve ever done something just for myself.”
So many women of her time lived not for themselves, but as wives, as mothers- always doing for someone else.Nam-hae Funeral Home calendar:
At some point, a promotional calendar from a funeral home started hanging in my parents’ house. And every year, around the end of the year, a new calendar would be delivered.Nirvana:
Someday, the day will come when the bond between my mother and me comes to an end. Whether we meet again in the next life, or if my mother enters Nirvana and we part forever, I hope she will live a happier life than now… Good bye, Mom.

Julien Langendorff Spell Rider

Julien Langendorff, Spell Rider The roots of cosmic occultism stretch back as far in time as humans have been able to communicate. There is a hermetic order to the universe that has bewildered and engaged the species, giving license to conjecture, theory, and spiritual whim that exceed what lies before our faces. It is a […]

  I am trying to equip my early-morning brain with enough reference points to connect the dots in Marie Quéau’s book Le Royaume (Area Books).

Pas de Culte Roman Kienjet & Willem Van Zoetendaal

Growing up in the 90s, transgression in art, as far as I understood, stemmed from the oppressive neoliberalist tendencies carried over from the 80s. Degrees of Thatcherism and Reaganism haunted the landscape of artistry, alongside many questions arising from social issues concerning the body. Gay rights and the grappling of feminism, and more essentially, its […]

Sandra Cattaneo Adorno 10 Years

Reflecting on the motif of painting with a title. One of the soft critiques I have of the book is that, despite its holistic considerations and the fundamental declarations of artist and publisher working closely together to create a special object, the title leaves something less than imaginable. It is somewhat self-referential regarding the artist’s […]

Florian Merdes Steamcracker

Florian Merdes Steamcracker

  What strikes me as an interesting premise in Florian Merdes’s book Steamcracker is the enforced myopic rendering of details and patterns, which turns the book and its intense sequences into something minutely chaotic. There is a world underneath the surface of things, a rhythm and a dedication to line that emanates in Florian’s book. […]

In 1870-1871, during the siege of Paris, better known as the Paris Commune, several ingenious actions were carried out throughout the year to continue the communards’ defense first against the Prussians, then the Thiers government, which sought to suppress the resistance within the heart of Paris. Both of these actions were the result of harnessing […]

Mari Katayama Synthesis

There is a small number of essential photobooks that explore the concept of artistic process/practice and performance. Most recently, I have found myself thumbing through Joseph Beuys: Coyote, by Caroline Tisdall (Schirmer/Mosel, 1976), which features photographs of Beuys’ legendary 1974 performance, I Like America and America Likes Me. The performance, arguably Beuys’ most well-known, next to How to […]
