A series that documents and abstracts the urban backyard swimming pool as monument. Color and black and white photographs are composed from late afternoon reflections on a still pool to the distressed architectural elements found inside the later empty and abandoned pool. Hardcover, 6 x 6 inches, 96 pages, 52 reproductions

Hole In The Sun

Abstract images, fragments and phrases from poems, notes, journals, words/thoughts remembered or imagined as they slip away, come together in 45301 to create a dense, thought-provoking photography book. Many of the photographs were shot during Mortensen's recent travels to Morocco, Cuba, and the northern plains of the United States, but could have been shot in your backyard. Depending on one's point of view, the imagery can be seen as either fighting with light or embracing it, holding time or forgetting it.

Anne Fishbein made her first trip to Yaroslavl, Russia, in 1990. She has returned nearly every year since, documenting the city's progress away from communist isolation and into the modern world. This mesmerizing collection of more than 50 black-and-white photographs, both portraits and street scenes — bakery workers, soldiers on guard, a wedding couple, children smoking — captures the inherent timelessness of people and places, and presents a fascinating glimpse into a changing yet eternal culture. Her photographs are in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Two introductions, by filmmaker Chris Schmidt and Los Angeles County Museum of Art curator Robert Sobieszek, provide a thoughtful context.

Season of the Western Witch marks the debut of Los Angeles artist Georganne Deen's poetry. Deen began compiling her poetry from her early childhood in Fort Worth, Texas and has since developed an intensely personal style by mixing nursery rhymes with perfume ads, new age ideas, beat poetry, and rock-n roll-madness. A peep show into a fierce and fragile comedy most would be loathe to lay open, the book features a foreword by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and a CD packed with material by Deen, Moore, and Mortensen.

Born in Guanabacoa and living in Regla, both religious centers in Cuba, Pupo has a long association with Santería (Regla de Ocho), and voodoo. Through photography the artist rediscovers his religion from a new perspective, as a philosophy about life where the visions of the individual serve as doors to access the real world, and provide the true way to "see" what is around us. ISBN 0-9721436-6-1, 9 x 6 inches, 36 pages, limited edition of 1,000 copies

Trance

Miyelo

In March 2003, Viggo Mortensen explored the town of Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, the site of a tragic massacre that occurred December 29, 1890. There he photographed a traditional Lakota Ghost Dance, and the resulting images re-create the dance that was originally performed by members of Chief Big Foot's band. Treating this sacred rite as both delirious remembrance and ephemeral dream, Miyelo includes literary and historical documentation that examines the Ghost Dance's origins.

Mo Te Upoko-o-te-ika/For Wellington is a book to accompany the joint exhibitions currently on at Massey University and the Wellington City Gallery, in New Zealand. Photographer Viggo Mortensen says "I've seen and learned a great deal so far in that beautiful country, and am glad to have been able to return many of the images made during my time there and share them with the people of Aotearoa."
