This book contains more than 250 photographs taken over the course of the shooting period, from the first day of filming to the last. You will not see in these photographs a posing director, or posing members of the film crew, no; rather you will see a visual record capturing our workday, rehearsals, pensive moments, minutes of repose and instances of extreme tension. Time and memories slip away, but photographs bring back to life the details, atmosphere and mood. This book fulfils a desire to share with everyone who values the oeuvre of Andrei Tarkovsky that "sculpted time" – those captures moments – when we filmed, in Sweden, the work that was to become his testament to the world, in order to impart, in whatever way possible, the irrepressible, incandescent energy that burst forth from the director in a continuous torrent, affecting and enchanting every one of us who came into his presence.Photographs and text by Layla Alexander-Garrett, Andrei Tarkovsky's interpreter during the filming of The Sacrifice.

Costumes for the Films of Andrei Tarkovsky Published for the first time in a single volume are the sketches and photographs from the archive of Nelli Fomina, who designed the costumes for the films of Andrei Tarkovsky and was the director’s friend and ‘right-hand woman’ for many years. She contributed to the creation of films which were to become classics of world cinema: Solaris, The Mirror and Stalker. Her reminiscences contain many previously unknown details regarding the creation of these films. This book is not just a masterclass of how to use costume for the projection of the unique characters in those pictures, but also a ‘photograph album’. A large part of the book consists of photographs taken by Nelli Fomina on sets used for Stalker, which are reprinted here exclusively. Another important part of this volume brings the reader the reminiscences of Sergei Naugolnykh, who worked as the assistant camera man on Stalker. He shares with the reader his observations about how complex production issues were resolved on set. Compiled by Anastasija Nikitina and Fedor Ermoshin.

Paul Herbst Portable Hell is a photobook by Paul Herbst featuring humorous, unsettling and darkly poetic images photographed in London between 2008 and 2011. Though the origins of the title are not exactly clear, the author describes it as something to do with constant uneasiness he felt while working on it. The book features various images, colorful or black and white, they are all gathered together in a magical synergy. Be it animals portrayed out of their natural habitat or a simple texture, there's an awkward connection between the aesthetics of the collection, which scares and inspires at the same time. Finding beauty in strange and wicked scenery Herbst manages to create an exquisite world of the unknown yet casual world of everyday objects. Original first edition from the publisher's archive.

The Persimmon's Fruit The Persimmon's Fruit is an intimate photographic essay by Nat Urazmetova. Depicting the author's journey to Japan, it seeks the new sensibilities and subtler connections unfolding when imagery and poetry loop together in a book format.Documentary yet also introspective, the photographs in the book seize and transmit the concealed rhythms and delicate emotions. There is a tenderness found amongst the grandeur and geometry of cityscapes, and elegance seen in haphazard encounters. The details, which often passed unnoticed, stimulate the author's gaze the most, and the poetic verses deepen the emerging narratives far beyond the depicted.Original first edition from the publisher's archive.Limited remaining stock.
