<p>New publication from Denmark at bdp bookstore!<br />
“The Garden”(signed copy) by <a href="http://www.birgittalund.com/index.html" target="_blank">Birgitta Lund</a><br />
<a href="http://store.bookdummypress.com/product/the-garden-by-birgitta-lund-signed">http://store.bookdummypress.com/product/the-garden-by-birgitta-lund-signed</a></p>
<p>The Garden is a contemporary photographic tale that uses Tivoli Gardens, an old amusement park in the middle of Copenhagen Denmark as an allegory. Here people of all different nationalities and ethnicities meet in a world of fantasy. An imaginary Orient with fake palaces and minarets is the backdrop of the place. It’s a surreal world, yet it mirrors the dreams and fears of life outside the entrance.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bookdummypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_3229_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1250" alt="IMG_3229_1" src="http://bookdummypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_3229_1.jpg" width="337" height="506" /></a></p>
<p>Pierre’s books constitutes the living chronicle of the Artist’s craft: From his first work, free and innovative visual experiences of “<a href="http://store.bookdummypress.com/product/rgb-transferences-by-pierre-le-hors" target="_blank">RGB Transferences</a>” and “Firework Studies”, to his most recent books “Patterned Standard of Scenic Dressing” and “Byways &amp; Through Lines”. Each of Pierre’s books carry implicitly within the perseverance and application required by the craft of book design. His books inspire great beauty and intelligence in its purest state.</p>
<p>The book presented with this interview “<a href="http://store.bookdummypress.com/product/patterned-standards-of-scenic-dressing-by-pierre-le-hors" target="_blank">Patterned Standard of Scenic Dressing</a>” speaks to the mind directly through the senses by means of graphic symbols.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>bdp: What is the function of an artist studio for you?</strong></em></p>
<p>PLH: It’s a place to play with materials, to look for connections between what catches our eye, and – in the best of circumstances – to work through problems and open up new ways of working.</p>
<p>But I find that it’s just as important to allow yourself to fail, or to not produce anything at all — sometimes just showing up and putting in some time is half the battle. Sometimes the hardest part is learning to recognize the failures, putting on a record and giving yourself the time to think.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>bdp: Why do you make books?</strong></em></p>
<p>PLH: First and foremost, I’d say that bookmaking is a really useful way of organizing and making sense of photographs. On their own, photos are difficult objects to deal with: thin, fragile sheets of paper that tend to get smudged, bent or creased. My prints mostly end up in boxes, and get taken out from time to time. Or they sit and accumulate on my hard drive. But when individual prints are bound together into a book, they become easier to handle, sturdier, and take on a real dimension and physicality as an object. Books on my shelf feel at once more accessible to me, more attractive, and less precious than loose prints. The series of decisions that bookmaking necessitates allows me to come to terms with my pictures.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>bdp: What do you think is the connection between your books?</strong></em></p>
<p>PLH: To be honest, I don’t spend so much time thinking about the connections between them – the fact that I made them all is connection enough, in my mind. Each one is probably simply a reflection of where I was at, at the time, in my work.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>bdp: Tell us a little bit about the experience on making “Patterned Standards of Scenic Dressing”.</strong></em></p>
<p>PLH: Laying out that book was challenging, because the photos are all more or less variations on the same subject: intersecting dot patterns. I had edited the photos down to about 40 or 50 pictures, and I tried to come up with a way to hold someone’s attention, as they move forward through an essentially repetitive set of images. I’m not sure if the book succeeds in doing that, exactly, but I ended up cropping the pictures further and leaving more negative space on the page as the book progresses. There are also a couple of surprises thrown in for good measure.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>bdp: What do you think is the next direction on your bookmaking?</strong></em></p>
<p>PLH: I’m not sure I know quite yet. At the moment, I’m trying to redesign my website in a way that reflects more accurately how I see images functioning across various projects, be it books or other material.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://bookdummypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/pierre_pattern_01.jpg"><img alt="pierre_pattern_01" src="http://bookdummypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/pierre_pattern_01-1024x790.jpg" width="336" height="259" /></a></strong></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>ピエール ラオールのつくる本は、彼のクラフトに対する日々の記録で構成されている。例えばそれは、自由で革新的な初期作品『<a href="http://store.bookdummypress.com/product/rgb-transferences-by-pierre-le-hors" target="_blank">RGB Transferences</a>』 や『Firework Studies』から、最新作の『Patterned Standard of Scenic Dressing』や『Byways &amp; Through Lines』にまで共通することで、一つ一つに彼の根気と見えざる努力がそのブックデザインに隠されている。それだから、彼の作品は最も純粋なかたちで多 くの美しさと知性を刺激するのだと思う。</p>
<p>このインタビューで紹介されている『<a href="http://store.bookdummypress.com/product/patterned-standards-of-scenic-dressing-by-pierre-le-hors" target="_blank">Patterned Standard of Scenic Dressing</a>』は、グラフィックシンボルを使い、あらゆる感覚を通して直接私たちの心に語りかける渾身の一冊。</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>bdp: ピエールにとってのスタジオ／アトリエとは？</strong></p>
<p>PLH: スタジオは、素材で遊んだり、目についたものの中から繋がりを探したりする場所かな。そして何よりも、疑問に取り組み、新しい作業の仕方を切り開くのに適した環境だと思う。</p>
<p>そうは言っても、失敗したり、時には何も創らなかったりすることも同じくらい大切で、肝心なのはスタジオで時間を過ごすこと。過ちを認めて前にすすむためには、自分自身に考える時間を与えることが必要。それが一番難しいけどね。</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>bdp: なぜ本を作るの？</strong></em></p>
<p>一番の理由としては、本作りは写真を整理したり、解釈するのにとても便利だから。写真そのものは、ペラペラで脆く、すぐ汚れたり、折れたり、しわが 寄ったりして扱いにくい。実際に、僕のプリントもたまに取り出して見るくらいで、結局は箱の中かハードドライブに蓄積されていくのが落ち。でもそれを一冊 の本にまとめれば、頑丈で扱いやすくなるし、物体としての次元がよりリアルになる。本を作り始めてから、自宅の棚にある本への愛情が増してまた手を伸ばす ようになったし、プリントに比べて気兼ねなく手にすることができる。今まで本作りで培ってきた経験が、自分の写真との折り合いをつける手助けになってくれ ているよ。</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>bdp: ピエールの作品たちに共通する事は?</strong></em></p>
<p>正直言って、作品の共通点についてはあまり考えないかな。僕が作ったっていう事実がすべてを繋げていると思う。それぞれの作品は、たぶんその時の僕の立ち位置を表しているんだ。</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>bdp: 最新作「Patterned Standards of Scenic Dressing」を作った時のことを少し聞かせて。</strong></em></p>
<p>この本は、色んなバリエーションで撮った水玉模様から構成されているけど、レイアウトがとくに難しかったよ。基本的に同じイメージの繰り返しだか ら、写真の数を40〜50枚くらいまで減らして、見てくれる人の集中力がとぎれない様になんとか工夫しないといけなかった。今でもその点に関して成功した かは分からないけどね。思っていた以上に写真をクロップしたし、ページをめくる毎に空白の部分を多く残すように仕上げてみたんだ。おまけに、いくつかサプ ライズも仕掛けてみたよ。</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>bdp: 次はどんな本作りを考えている？</strong></em></p>
<p>まだ分からないかな。とりあえず、今は自分のウェブサイトをデザインし直しているところ。本にしても、そうじゃなくても、様々なプロジェクトに取り組んでいく中で、イメージがどういう役割を果たしているかをもう少し的確に伝えられるためにね。</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bookdummypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_2685_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1258" alt="IMG_2685_1" src="http://bookdummypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_2685_1.jpg" width="334" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>It is a great pleasure for us to feature an interview with <a href="http://hajimekimura.net/" target="_blank">Hajime Kimura</a> and his new book “<a href="http://store.bookdummypress.com/product/kodama-by-hajime-kimura-signed" target="_blank">Kodama</a>”.</p>
<p><em>Kodama</em><strong> </strong>is a spirit from Japanese folklore, which is believed to live in certain trees. Cutting down trees which houses <em>Kodama</em> is thought to bring misfortune. <em>Kodama</em> also serve as a title of the photography book by Hajime Kimura. This 56-page memory is richly overflowing with the recollections of Hajime’s 5-year spent living, between 2007 and 2011, with the <em>MATAGI</em> tribe.</p>
<p><strong>-What is the function of the Artist Studio for you?</strong></p>
<p>Studio is a place where I can get lost in my thoughts and shape those thoughts into some kind of form.</p>
<p><strong>-Why do you make books?</strong></p>
<p>I believe that books let me form my ideas in a much more sensuous and tridimensional ways, also they are easy to present and pass around.</p>
<p><strong>-Tell us about your latest publication <em>“Kodama”</em></strong></p>
<p>This book is about my admiration towards the countryside. I grew up in Tokyo suburbia, it was right after my third year of college when I first heard of “Matagi” a mountain village in the north of Japan. I keep going back to photograph in this mountain village for about 5 years.</p>
<p>For this book I extracted the documentary aspect of the story and edited with fewer pictures. My intention was to show my lack of knowledge of the place and its culture, how I stepped into a different world from the one I was use to in Tokyo. I wanted to give the viewers the same disoriented and spiritual feelings I had when I first encountered the village and its people . Years after finishing the project  I am still struggling to fully understand the world of ”Matagi”.</p>
<p>So if anybody who sees my book begins to wonder what “Matagi” is, and wishes to know more about this mountain village, the book would have succeeded. The book also shows my point of view as an outsider</p>
<p>- <strong>What do you care the most when you make books?</strong></p>
<p>It’s been a year that I have been developing some thoughts on bookmaking, I believe how you form your idea is very significant. Unlike framed pictures, with books you can play with many elements and choices. From types of bookbinding, the thickness, textures, colors of the paper, numbers of pages, the choice between hard cover or soft cover, etc. There are numerous decisions to make. It is important to understand the material you have to work with and the type of book you want to make, if you take these choices for granted you could end up with a mediocre book.</p>
<p>- <strong>Any photobook out there that you wish you were the author of it? And why?</strong></p>
<p>One of the most influential photobook for me since I started photography is “Peter Beard (Special Edition)” by Peter Beard, an autobiographical photobook. Not only the contents but also I like the bookbinding: very simple red and blue cloths-binding. It’s hard to describe in one word, but I would sure be excited if I were Peter.</p>

<p>今、国内外から注目されている若手日本人写真家の一人、木村肇さん(以下略：HK)とのインタビューと、彼の最新作「谺」をご紹介します。</p>
<p>「谺」とは古くから日本に伝えられている精霊で、樹木に宿ると考えられており、樹を切り倒すことは災いを呼ぶとも言われています。その「谺」がタイトルの木村さんの写真集は、日本の東北地方で暮らすマタギ民族と過ごした彼の５年間の想いが溢れる一冊です。</p>
<p><strong>−</strong><strong>肇さんにとってスタジオ／アトリエとはどんな場所ですか</strong></p>
<p>HK: 自分が物思いに耽られる場所、またはそこから湧いてくる考えを何らかの形に出来る場所です。</p>
<p><strong>−</strong><strong>なぜ本を作るのですか</strong></p>
<p>HK: 自分が思っている事をより感覚的、具体的な形に出来ると感じているのと、それを形にしたあとで、人に渡せたり簡単に見せたりする事が出来るからです。</p>
<p><strong>−</strong><strong>最新作「谺」についてお聞かせ下さい</strong></p>
<p>HK: 一言でいうと、自分の田舎への憧れが形になった写真集です。東京の郊外で育った僕は大学在学中に彼らの存在を知りました。結局足掛け５年間ある山村に通い 続ける事になるのですが、本の内容は極力ジャーナリスティックな部分を抜いて少ない写真で作りました。何も知らない自分が東京とは真逆の世界へと足を踏み 入れ、そしていつの間にか元の世界に戻って行く。すなわちそれは彼らのことを結局は理解できなかったという、もう一つの思いも含めています。</p>
<p>本を通してマタギとは何なのか、もう少し写真を見てみたいと思って下さるのならば、それはある意味この本の意図としている事でもありますし、同時にそれはアウトサイダーとしての自分自身の立ち位置も表しています。</p>
<p><strong>−</strong><strong>本作りにあたり心がけている事はありますか。</strong></p>
<p>HK: 本づくりに関して色々と思いが膨らんでいったのはここ１年ほどですが、その中で重要だなと感じたことは、自分の思いをいかに形にするのかという事なのだと 思いました。１枚の額装された写真と違って本は、たくさんの要素が組み込まれた仕掛けと言えると思います。その中で装丁、紙の厚さや質感、色、ページ数、 ハードカバーにする意味など、取り上げたらキリがありませんが、ひとつひとつの部品が自分の思いを込められる要素ですし、逆にそれがおろそかになるとつま らない物になってしまう恐れもあるのではと思います。</p>
<p><strong>−</strong><strong>世に出ている写真集で、自分が著者だったら、と夢見る本はありますか。また、その理由は。</strong></p>
<p>HK: 写真をやり始める前、またその後も大きな影響を受けた写真集にピーター・ビアードの“Peter Beard Special Edition)”という自伝的な写真集があります。彼の写真の内容もさることながら、赤と青のシンプルな布張りの装丁も好きです。一言でいうのは難しい ですが、自分がピーターだったら興奮します。（笑）</p>
