New photo-book selection. A pleasure of the job is when you go to a book fairs and get to meet fellow publishers from different parts of the world. We picked up a few books from New York based Anthony Hamboussi of L Nour Editions who is both a publisher and photographer, is great to have two of his projects in the UK:
Cairo Dream brings together photographs made in Cairo between 2009 and 2016, tracing a period of profound political and social upheaval. Working between large-format and handheld film, Anthony Hamboussi approaches the city through a deeply personal lens shaped by his Egyptian heritage and his position between cultures.
Newtown Creek: A Photographic Survey of New York?s Industrial Waterway by Anthony Hamboussi is a journey around the perimeters of the Newtown Creek in New York City, an industrial canal which separates north Brooklyn from the western perimeters of Queens, flowing westward towards the East River. It is a self-propelled project, which began with Hamboussi’s knowledge of the area, beginning in a childhood in nearby Maspeth, Queens. A seemingly casual project became an obsessive chronicle of several years. The images are presented chronologically which suits the essentially private nature of the enterprise, that of Hamboussi’s journey into a polluted heart of darkness within New York City limits.
