a.k.a Miso, shares the titles that have helped
formulate her taste and visual vocabulary.
VOGUE VIEWPOINT
1.VILLE DE CALAIS: HENK WILDSCHUT(GWINZEGAL, 2017)
“This book has been a huge touch-point for me. It covers the settlements
of the Calais ‘Jungle’ migrant camp in France, which I’d been data
mapping over the six months of its forced evacuation, in my last big
project. Not only is it a brilliant testament to the site and its residents,
but it’s also an invaluable one-stop reference to what was there before,
since I was working in the now empty land.”
2.PATTI SMITH: CAMERA SOLO(YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2011)
“Memories and tokens, arranged in Smith’s own world, across a million
cities. It makes living like I have been a little less lonely when you think
of women like Smith carrying her camera, poems and notebooks over
decades, combining her photos and writing all into one vision.”
3.DISOBEDIENT BODIES: JW ANDERSON AT THE HEPWORTH
WAKEFIELD(INOTHERWORDS, 2017) BY J.W. ANDERSON
“This book is so smart, elegant and funny. It’s such a natural crossover
between fashion and art, which I’ve always sensed in J.W. Anderson’s
fashion, too. Everything about the beat of images, contrasts and empty
spaces is really playful and builds these wonderful links and worlds.”
4.LIVING(YVON LAMBERT, 1998) BY JENNY HOLZER
“Everything about this book is a perfect experience of words: the
dimensions, the transparent pages, and the order. I’ve taken to picking
up this book, reading a single page and thinking about it for the rest
of the day.”
5.LOOKING FOR LOVE ON THE LEFT BANK: ED VAN DER
ELSKEN(AMAN IMAN PUBLISHING, 2013)
“The drafts and process of Ed van der Elsken’s seminalLove on the Left
Bank(1954) are revealed on these pages. The original work set up some of
the visual language of the photo books that we know today. I prefer this
version: messy, B-rolls, writing, edits and scratches. It feels much closer to
the chaotic beatnik Paris Rive Gauche life that he was shooting.”
6.AFGHANISTAN: 0 RH(MOUSSE PUBLISHING, 2018)
BY GIOVANNA SILVA
“I’ve always seen this book as a really amazing, fragmented piece of
photojournalism. It shows the military perspective of Afghanistan:
from cars, up high, through dusty windows, from trucks. It’s
claustrophobic and totally detached from place.”
7.DREAMING GEORGIA (ROCKIN’ ON INC, 1994) BY KURT
MARKUS
“Dreaming Georgiais a constant reference for me. These are photographs by
Kurt Markus taken of model Cynthia Antonio, sometimes clothed,
sometimes nude. It feels like a love letter to her, but also to Alfred Stieglitz’s
photographs of Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico and to their love.” ■
