Image as Trace
Published by Brunette Coleman, London, 2025, leporello (b/w ill.), 10 × 19 cm (folded), 70 × 19 cm (unfolded), English
Price: €7

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Image as Trace at Brunette Coleman, London, 26 April–31 May, 2025. Featuring Paride Maria Calvia, Nat Faulkner, Joyce Joumaa, Marietta Mavrokordatou and Kazuna Taguchi.

“Such images are indeed able to usurp reality because first of all a photograph is not only an image (as a painting is an image), an interpretation of the real; it is also a trace, something directly stenciled off the real, like a footprint or a death mask.” – Susan Sontag, On Photography

The artists in Image as Trace favour experiential techniques that aren’t subjected to traditional modes of photography. With a shared affinity for exposing their means of production, the works reveal Sontag’s image as trace – charting the material process of photography itself, as well as the imprints of time.

Designed by George Haughton.

George Platt Lynes

Price: €8

George Platt Lynes is recognized today as a master of 20th century photography, influencing artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe and Herb Ritts. Though Lynes was commercially successful in New York fashion and portrait photography, his art practice is largely characterized today by his remarkable photographs of nude men, from the 1930s until his death in 1955. Using inventive lighting, posing, and cropping techniques within his carefully staged studio settings, he was able to visually translate both the physical and psychological nuances of his subjects.

Kazuna Taguchi
Published by Haus der Matsubara, Vienna, 2019, 56 pp. (b/w ill.), 16.4 × 22.6 cm, Japanese/English
Price: €30

Kazuna Taguchi’s works are based on an analogue and hands-on approach at the intersection of painting and photography. In an intricate process, the artist combines various visual sources that she paints only to photograph them in various environments and setting that suit the attributes of each painting, and ultimately incorporates elements of chance while manipulating the prints in the darkroom. Taguchi compares the multiple layers and repeated interventions that lead to a permeation of myriad textures, time planes, and narrative spaces to the work of a painter who keeps tirelessly returning to her easel and brush.

All texts by Michio Hayashi.
