| Title: Fortuna Y Fetiche |
| By (author): Bárbara Sánchez-Kane, SofÃa Alazraki |
| ISBN10-13: 0999124544 : 9780999124543 |
| The collaboration between Bárbara Sánchez-Kane (Mérida, Yucatán, 1987) and SofÃa Alazraki (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1991) began as an exchange of letters between two friends. Love letters in odd formats. Like throwing a dart from one end of the world to the other. At first glance, these photos give the impression of an exquisite corpse, sculptures made with parts that are added without a rational order (their logic is unconscious, rather). Sometimes they look like little Frankensteins made of borrowed parts to animate a strange animal; at other times they have the comic qualities of collage, of the sudden laughter provoked by the juxtaposition of two things that contradict each other. They are also erotic cyborgs, representing the fetishes of their authors. Made up of second-hand objects, they also raise the question of their past and the future that awaits them. They are sculptures made by two artists who love to manipulate religious, lesbian, and fashion symbols. Sánchez-Kane has established herself as an important, original voice in contemporary art. She participated in the 60th international art exhibition, La biennale di Veneza, Stranieri Ovunque, with the video and sculptural installation Prêt-à -Patria (2024). Alazraki is a photographer and set designer working across art, fashion, and film. Formed as an art historian, her practice focuses on still life photography and installation, where she builds carefully choreographed assemblages with objects and unconscious mechanisms as active characters. |

| Title: Geography |
| By (author): Zora Sicher |
| ISBN10-13: 0999124552 : 9780999124550 |
| Dashwood is proud to announce the publication of Geography, the first monograph by Brooklyn-born artist and photographer, Zora Sicher. Sicher is known for her work exploring the boundaries between photography and film with an unflinching focus on the uncensored human body. She often investigates themes of identity, diversity, and the intersection of ancient and modern photographic processes. Sicher previously co-authored Treasure with Paloma Elsesser, which documented the modelâ s breast surgeries. In Geography she draws upon her personal archives from 2011 to the present day photographing her inner circle of friends. The opening lines of the introductory text by the art critic and independent curator, Gaby Cepeda speaks to the ephemeral quality of her photographs and the simple yet lofty goal of this body of work. "Is it possible to get rid of oneself? Can we materialize our own experience, conveniently frame it in a neat (or slightly messy) snapshot and pour into it our most embodied memories, so we can stash them away, putting a final, pretty bow on the closed box that is the gift of our own past?" Sicherâ s main concern seems to be the human condition from her own very personal perspective exploring the relationships around her to encapsulate the nature of her practice. Designed by Paris based designer, filmmaker and publisher, Manon Lutanie with texts by Gaby Cepeda and Tiger Hutchence-Archer. There will be an exhibition by Zora Sicher curated by Philo Cohen at Dashwood Projects, 63 East 4th Street, in New York in October, 2025. |

| Title: Portrait of J |
| By (author): Takashi Homma |
| ISBN10-13: 0999124528 : 9780999124529 |
| Portrait of J joins the rich tradition of socially engaged portraiture, echoing seminal works such as August Sanderâ s Face of Our Time, Irving Pennâ s Small Trades, and, Wolfgang Tillmansâ s Portraits What distinguishes Portrait of J is its intentional focus on ordinary individuals photographed with the same care and reverence often reserved for cultural icons. Shot across a variety of familiar, recognizable locations, mainly in urban environments, Hommaâ s portraits have an illuminating quality that reveal a psychological depth in their subjects. His portraits are guided by empathy and a desire to observe people as they areâ free from manipulation or staging. The result is a more inclusive, nuanced visual representation of Japanese identityâ expanding the lens through which Japanese people are seen both within Japan and internationally. While Japan has long fascinated audiences in the U.S., Europe, and beyondâ often admired for its aesthetics, traditions, and technological innovationâ the lived realities of its people are often idealized, misunderstood, or overlooked. Portrait of J is especially meaningful in that it offers a platform for a Japanese photographer to speak directly, intentionally, and reflectively through his workâ presenting a grounded and authentic portrait of contemporary Japan. |
