Where the Light Came In by , published by , is a quiet, long-term exploration of the artist’s own domestic space. Working in black and white, Black photographs light, rooms, objects, and small moments that repeat over time. The book is built on attention rather than events, revealing how familiarity, memory, and presence shape what we see.

In the interview, Black speaks about working slowly and without a fixed plan, returning to the same spaces and allowing the photographs to accumulate over years. She reflects on trust, uncertainty, and the importance of staying with a place long enough for meaning to emerge, rather than trying to explain or control it.

The full article looks closely at how this approach shaped the book, why repetition became central to the work, and what changed for Black by committing to a single, everyday environment. Read the full article!

"Blank Notes": Marshall To's debut monograph explores the intersection of Taoist spirituality and contemporary photography through the lens of the Hungry Ghost Festival.

The book draws its title and concept from the Taoist tradition where the gates of hell open on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, allowing hungry ghosts to roam the earth seeking sustenance. To spent years photographing animals like wolves, owls, snakes, and foxes that in Taoist belief can serve as vessels for these restless spirits.

The book mixes images of animals, traces of ritual, and night photography that brings back the atmosphere of his childhood stories.

To’s father believed in a world of restless spirits, and To carried this belief into his work
