I read where I am
I Read Where I Am contains texts about the future of reading and the status of the word. We read anytime and anywhere. We read of screens, we read out on the streets, we read in the office but less and less we read a book at home on the couch. We are, or are becoming, a different type of reader. The question remains which shape will it take and what experience does one want? To answer these (and other) questions we have asked people from different backgrounds, subject to the aforementioned changes, to think about these issues.

Mikael Olsson
Södrakull Frösakull
This book explores the heritage of Bruno Mathsson, one of Swedish modernism’s leading designers, through two of his architectural works. In Frösakull – a house that Mathsson both designed and lived in – Mikael Olsson invaded, colonised and interacted with the remains of the house. In Södrakull, on the other hand – a second house that Mathsson designed and lived in – Olsson acted like a Peeping Tom, sneaking around the exterior of the house with his camera. This unethical method of trespassing a private space reveals something even more unethical, namely the fact that nobody, not even the Bruno Mathsson firm, took care of his property after his death.
In Södrakull Frösakull Mikael Olsson has created a phenomenological interplay between presence and absence, inner meaning and outer representation, turning the very notion of the human gaze inside out.

Richard Reynolds
On Guerrilla Gardening
On Guerrilla Gardening is an activist's call to arms to all citizens - green-fingered, green-thinking or curious - to join the revolution of guerrilla gardening: transforming public space into oases of colour and life. The enemy: neglect, apathy and the disintegration of community spirit. The arsenal: daring, a packet of seeds and a passionate commitment to social change. When Richard Reynolds first embarked on guerrilla gardening, growing flowers by moonlight outside his tower block, he had no idea it was part of a growing global movement committed to cultivating the potential in the land regardless of all obstacles. Charting the battles fought across thirty different countries and the revolutionary history of this subculture, On Guerrilla Gardening is an inspirational take on gardening in the 21st century.

Carolyn Steel
De Hongerige stad
The relationship between food and cities is fundamental to our every day lives. Food shapes cities, and through them, it moulds us - along with the countryside that feeds us. The gargantuan effort necessary to feed cities arguably has a greater social and physical impact on us and our planet than anything else we do. Yet few of us are conscious of the process and we rarely stop to wonder how food reaches our plates. De Hongerige stad examines the way in which modern food production has damaged the balance of human existence, and reveals that we have yet to resolve a centuries-old dilemma - one which holds the key to a host of current problems, from obesity, the inexorable rise of the supermarkets, to the destruction of the natural world. This book illuminates an issue that is fundamental to us all.

Gerry Badger
The Pleasures of Good Photographs
The British photography critic Badger wrote, amongst others, The Photobook, a History, volume I and II, together with Martin Parr. He also wrote The Genius of Photography, the book that accompanied the BBC-serie with the same name a number of years back. The Pleasures of Good Photographs is not as light to read as The Genius of Photography, but it is nevertheless still a prime example of how clear people can write about this medium. The publication includes eightteen of his essays. Many of these are about photographers, including Eugène Atget, Walker Evans and Richard Avedon, but also relatively unknown, young photographers such as Susan Lipper and Anna Fox.

Willem van Toorn
Het grote landschapsboek
Red threat within the work of poet, writer and translator Toorn is his love for the landscape as a 'picture book of our memory' and his concern that this landscape is being poisened by 'the dogma of economical growth, the new back-to-nature-thinking and the ideal of mass recreation'. Van Toorn reads the landscape. His work shows how rich landscapes are in meaning and how they reflect the memory of an environment and the humans living within it. His concerns and reflections culminate in his Magnum Opus: Het Grote Landschapsboek. With images by Theo Baart.
