Strange Switch. Spent. The Night, Sleep.
George Tourkovasilis
Published by BILL, Brussels, 2025, 144 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 30 × 21 cm, English
Price: €38

This book presents previously unpublished work by George Tourkovasilis (1944–2021), a photographer and writer who lived between Paris, London, and Athens. Spanning the 1960s to the 2000s, his images move between diaristic depictions of radically intimate moments and sociological chronicles, while his incisive writing on art, politics, and desire brings its own syncopated reflections. Following his death in 2021, Akwa Ibom, Radio Athènes, and Melas Martinos assumed stewardship of his archive – prints, negatives, manuscripts, correspondence, and digital files – and organized three exhibitions: Spent at Akwa Ibom, The Night, Sleep at Radio Athènes, and Strange Switch at Melas Martinos, which are documented here. Drawing on material unearthed from the archive over the past year, including previously unseen digital and phone photography, this book offers a new perspective on a practice that largely eluded the public eye yet remained prolific and generous in private. Edited by Helena Papadopoulos, Julie Peeters & Maya Tounta. Designed by Julie Peeters.

Privilege: Yvonne Rainer Filmography
Published by At Last Books, Copenhagen, 2025, 176 pp. (b/w ill.), 11 × 20 cm, English
Price: €28

Yvonne Rainer (b. 1934) needs no introduction. One of the great American artists of her generation, she revolutionised dance and choreography in the 1960s. Yet over the course of two decades – from the early 1970s to the mid-1990s – Rainer also directed seven feature films, each intensely discursive and consistently inviting critical reflection. Radically diverse and impossible to categorise, her films carve out their own space between documentary, fiction, performance, and the avant-garde. For decades, these films have been difficult to access, and when shown, they were often confined to small monitors in large museum settings. Now, newly restored in 4K, they were presented in a retrospective by Terrassen in 2024 – the first of its kind in Denmark. The retrospective culminated in the publication of a new Yvonne Rainer filmography, with contributions from Babette Mangolte, Ursula Andkjær Olsen, Mira Adoumier, Emily Wardill, Emily LaBarge, Amelia Groom, Valérie Massadian, Iman Mohammed, Frida Sandström and Yvonne Rainer herself.

Paul Outerbridge, Jr.
Published by Gebr. König, Köln, date unknown, card (colour ill.), 10.5 × 14.7 cm, German
Price: €6

Paul Outerbridge, Jr. emerged in the 1920s as a bold innovator, transforming ordinary objects, such as milk bottles, collars, eggs, into fractured Cubist constructions of light and form. His platinum and silver gelatin prints reduced subjects to intersecting planes and geometric rhythms, revealing a structural beauty aligned with the avant-garde movements of his time.

Daniel Buren
Published by Eds. 11/28/48, Le Bourget, 2000, 112 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 25 × 30 cm, French
Price: €74

Co-founder of the BMTP group, Daniel Buren (born 1939 in Boulogne-Billancourt, France) is a major figure on the international art scene. He made a name for himself on the art scene in the 1960s. In 1965, Daniel Buren settled into an approach based on a striped canvas with alternating white and coloured, 8,7 cm‑wide stripes. The introduction in late 1967 of what he called a “visual tool” laid the foundations for a practice that broke with tradition and opened up a multifaceted body of work in which freedom was born, as the artist likes to point out, out of both internal and external constraints. Daniel Buren explored this “visual tool” by developing it on a flat surface and, from the end of the 1960s, in three dimensions.
