Kutt Magazine – Dyke Zine. (complete run)

The sister magazine to Butt. “Summer 2001, we had dinner with Gert and Jop from Butt Magazine and before we knew it, they had proposed doing a lesbian sister mag. We loved the idea! Before we knew it, we had thought of a name. That name was Kutt, which means c**t in Dutch. The perfect reason to go and chase the girls of our dreams. Chloe was in Paris shooting a new film, Jessica bumped into her, and- before she knew it- got her into the magazine. Martien decided to experiment together with Nienke and – before she knew it – the Mattresses shoot was reality. Marjolein was doing a photography course and wanted to make a portrait of Farida. Before she knew it, she was also doing the interview. We called Anette, who we adore, and before we knew it, gorgeous pix of Amber & Caitlin were delivered by UPS. Marjolein found an old lesbian porn book from the seventies, and before we knew it, we were producing the lesbian sex feature. Well, before we knew it, Kutt was ready. So go ahead and read it! It will be finished before you know it, so you beter enjoy it!.” Kutt lasted for 3 issues only before Gysel went on to found Girls Like Us. The beginning of something very very good! Contributions from Collier Schorr, Ryan Mcginley, Viviane Sassen.

Sophie Calle / Anatoli

Calle’s account of her journey on the Trans-Siberian express from Moscow to Vladivostok where she meets her cabin mate Anatoli Voroli. Despite neither of them being able to speak each others language, they develop a sort of amiable domestic life for a few days in their cabin. Fascinating and banal in equal measure. Laid in are 2 photographs of Voroli, which do not appear in the book.

The Indigenous Patterns and Hotel Okura

Stunning book detailing the textile and wallpaper patterns, as well as the key themes of the famous Hotel Okura. “The Okura is an extraordinary testament to a key moment in Japanese design. It was built two years ahead of the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 ‘ with an annexe added in 1973 ‘ by an exceptionally gifted and diverse group that included the architects Yoshiro Taniguchi and Hideo Kosaka, the folk artist Shiko Munakata and the potter Kenkichi Tomimoto. Together they created a unique modern design that referenced the traditional colours, shapes and crafts of Japan.” Fiona WIlson.

Les Images D'Antonioni

Stunning visual Antonioni monograph, comprising of set stills from almost all of his films, including Blow up, La Notte, L’Avventura and L’Eclisse. Very Monica Vitti heavy, with Jeanne Moreau, Marcello Mastroianni and Alain Delon along with a who’s who of the new wave. The work of Antonioni has always been exercise in elegant and subtle scenography, and the still images here exemplify this in a way that the moving image inherently cannot, making it an essential reference to his work.

Bizarre (complete run)

It's almost impossible to convey the importance, impact and place in the history of fetish publishing of Bizarre, the brainchild and private passion of Singapore Born John Alexander Coutts aka John Willie. His contribution and the quality of his work is amongst the most respected in the genre, obscured by his reclusiveness and the clandestine nature of his published output, which until some years after his death remained an exclusively underground phenomenon. Willie acted not only as editor, but also took almost all of the photographs (many featuring his wife Holly Anna Faram) and drew all of the illustrations. He sold Bizarre in 1956 and moved to Los Angeles where he continued his photographic work until he suffered a brain tumour after which he destroyed his work and archive and moved to England until his death in 1962. His combination of talent and inclination are quite unique and quite distinct from his peers, and his style seems to have accidentally become part of a common cultural lexicon, so much so that when classic fetish is referenced in a modern context, it almost always looks as if it was heavily influenced by the hand of Willie Himself.
