Dona Ann McAdams

Black Box: A Photographic Memoir

Publication date: December 2024

Photobooks

Black Box, a memoir by award-winning American photographer Dona Ann McAdams, combines fifty years of black and white photography with the photographer’s own short lyric texts she calls “ditties.” The book brings together McAdams’ striking historical images, taken between 1974 and 2024, with personal reflections that read like prose-poems. 

McAdams is famous for her uncanny ability to be at the right place at the right time to document resistance, protest, and empowered agency across five decades of American culture. She’s captured moments of her community’s history from the Queer Liberation Movement, the Culture Wars, and the Performance Art scene of the 1980s and 1990, to artist intellectual acquaintances like Angela Davis, Meredith Monk, and Maurice Sendak, and a host of others whose paths she crossed, including Harvey Milk, David Bowie, David Wojnarowicz, and John Malkovich.

Mar Sáez

Terza Vita

Publication date: November 2024

Photobooks

This enchanting book delves into the rebirth of interpersonal relationships among adolescents after a two-year compulsory break. Mar Sáez photographs the reappearing residents, and, above all, the yearning young lovers, in sensual, almost dancing attitudes, reflecting the classical images of sculptures and paintings offered up by the eternal city of Rome.

Set against the backdrop of the beaches of Ostia, usually bustling with life and tourism, Sáez presents a visual narrative that juxtaposes the resilience of the city's history with the transient, vulnerable nature of adolescence.

Crows Ascending

Publication date: November 2024

Photobooks

Crows Ascending captures the haunting beauty of crows in flight, as observed by Ross from the rooftops of his apartment on Russian Hill in San Francisco during the pandemic years. This deeply contemplative series, presented in an exquisitely produced book, is a meditation on one of the world’s most intelligent bird species and reflects the quiet isolation and stillness of the moment.
