Moemoeā
Brendan George Ko
Moemoeā explores the revival of traditional voyaging in Hawaii and how the canoe became a catalyst for connection, cultural empowerment, and fostering humanity’s relationship with the natural world. It is a story of how ancient knowledge and modern science coalesced to revitalize a nearly extinct cultural tradition and a testament to the power of dreams, or moemoeā.
The first book, The Spell, opens with a series of lush photographs that capture life on the open ocean, lulling the reader into a sensory experience. Drawn from ancestral voyaging mythology and the artist’s own visionary dreams, fragments of narrative text ebb and flow through the book, while illustrations by Sophy Hollington serve as visual footnotes. Taking inspiration from nautical logbooks, The Spell is wire-bound into a hardcover case and incorporates luminescent paper to evoke the glistening surface of the ocean.
Tucked into a discreet back pocket, The Story features an essay by Jeremy Haik alongside Ko’s documentary photographs that highlight the visionaries who breathed life back into Hawaiian voyaging. Presented through a framework of mythology and dreams, it is a story that begins with the ancestors of Polynesians who mastered the art of celestial wayfinding and the language of the ocean three millennia before the European Age of Exploration. This remarkable chronicle is anchored by Hōkūleʻa, a modern incarnation of an ancient voyaging canoe that became a catalyst for connection, cultural reclamation, and fostering humanity’s relationship with the natural world.

The Moon and Stars Can Be Yours
Notes on Subway Psychics
Magali Duzant
The Moon and Stars Can Be Yours is a pocket-sized guide to modern mysticism by way of the New York City subway system. This collection of writing and photography by Magali Duzant includes a short history of psychics in our popular imagination and more than a dozen vignettes about her foray into new age beliefs, alongside a curious collection of artifacts and archival images from the New York Public Library Picture Collection.
The book follows Duzant on a freewheeling investigation into the rise of contemporary spiritualism in an age of uncertainty. Each chapter is presented in the form of an unanswerable question—Will I find happiness? Is there luck in my future? Will I find love that lasts?—and meanders into the murky world of palm readings and impromptu sauna astrology sessions, to name a few.
The Moon and Stars Can Be Yours: Notes on Subway Psychics includes a holographic cover, a selection of the colorful psychic fliers found on the subway, and in the back of each book, a scratch-off fortune card awaits the reader.

Water Gold Soil: The American River
Sayler/Morris
Water Gold Soil: The American River tells the story of a single flow of water in present-day California from origin to end use. Beginning at the river’s headwaters in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the book follows the water through pipes and dams, past Sutter’s Mill and the birthplace of the Gold Rush, to the corporate agricultural fields until it eventually disappears into the ground, finding veins in the soil. Including a short essay by Elizabeth Kolbert, the book brings together a series of narrative text, photographs, and archival images that represent the history of extraction in California and testify to the social and ecological consequences of watershed colonialism.

A Tree Grows in Queens
by Magali Duzant
A Tree Grows in Queens is a meditation on the many ways in which trees manifest into other forms—from myths and memorials to meeting points and harbingers of luck. In this collection of essays and images, Magali Duzant takes inspiration from trees found in old-growth forests and the urban streetscapes of her native New York City. The book cultivates an intimate connection between the city’s ecology and heritage by examining individual trees and their interdependence with broader concerns, such as climate change, capitalism, and urban revitalization. A Tree Grows in Queens grafts written reflections, historical images, and photographs to kindle a deeper appreciation of the significance of trees in our everyday lives.

Light Blue Desire
Magali Duzant
Light Blue Desire investigates the fluidity of language by lyrically mapping the elusive use of the word blue across different languages. The collection of idioms reveals a compendium of contradictions; concepts around a color that is both high and low, peaceful and pornographic, melancholic and manipulative, and consistently voted the world’s favorite color. How and why does blue seep into our speech, color our thoughts, lap into our languages?
The book’s format and typography draw influence from technical manuals, while the chapter design nods to the cyanometer, an eighteenth-century hand-painted instrument used to measure the blueness of the sky. These elements are balanced by the whimsical design of the blue idioms, which mimic the inherent nature of the idiom itself—an expression whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings of its constituent elements.

Same Sum
Peter Happel Christian
Same Sum is an interactive photobook by Peter Happel Christian that playfully explores observation, chance, and the everyday magic of ordinary life. The included photographs are part of an ongoing, expansive project of the same name that began as intentional exercises in observation. The result is a vast collection of subjects and situations—some found, others constructed—that occur in parallel to Happel Christian’s daily life. The title takes inspiration from an Italo Calvino essay wherein experience is fluid and meanings are flexible—that within the finite is an infinite. Similarly, the images in Same Sum have no fixed sequence, allowing for the possibility of seemingly endless experiences of the same images.
The book’s interactive design is inspired by card games and magic tricks; the double coil bound format creates two decks of photographs to riffle shuffle, creating a unique set of image combinations determined by chance with each read.

Half Wild
Peter Happel Christian
Peter Happel Christian's debut monograph, Half Wild, borrows its title from a passage in Our National Parks, written in 1909 by John Muir, who contemplated the public's "growing interest in the care and preservation of forests and wild places in general, and in the half wild parks and gardens of towns." Using this phrase as a way of thinking about both his surroundings and photography itself, Happel Christian constructed the work that comprises Half Wild over the course of several years at his home in the Midwest and in Muir's home, Yosemite National Park. In her accompanying essay, Liz Sales discusses the relationship between the wilderness and photographic abstraction, a potentially limitless territory.

I Looked & Looked
by Magali Duzant
I Looked & Looked is a book inspired by a pair of love letters between two artists who unknowingly described the moon to each other on the same night. On September 25, 1923, photographer Alfred Stieglitz wrote to painter Georgia O’Keeffe detailing a full white moon over Lake George, New York. On the same night, she penned a description of a pink moon, as witnessed from the shore of York Beach, Maine.
Inspired by the synchronicity of this romantic exchange, artist and writer Magali Duzant called upon twenty creatives to describe the full moon, in anonymity, on the same night. The date was October 29, 2012, which brought the unexpected force of Hurricane Sandy and led to wildly varying accounts of a single sky. Dispatching from vantage points across the country and beyond, some describe a glowing orb or kaleidoscopic halo, while others in New York saw no moon at all. I Looked & Looked weaves these unique, yet collective, experiences together with Duzant’s own images in a lyrical reflection on interconnectedness and our relationship to the night sky.
The special hardcover edition of I Looked & Looked was published for the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the love letters exchanged between Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz on September 25, 1923. This new edition contains several additional images, including Pink Moon over Water, by Georgia O’Keeffe, and photographs from the archives of Alfred Stieglitz, John William Draper, and Draper’s son, Henry Draper. The hardcover format features an iridescent midnight-blue cover foil-stamped with a pink moon and a white moon, while the inside is printed on luminescent white paper and includes a turquoise ribbon to mark your favorite passages.

The Walking Woman
by Tanyth Berkeley
The Walking Woman is an extended portrait of two women, both on the cusp of invisibility in the American Southwest, braided together in a parable of banishment and atonement. In her lyrical approach to the photographic narrative, Berkeley documents the parallel lives of two strangers, Ruth and Spice, against the sacred beauty of the desert landscape. In doing so, she raises environmental concerns alongside feminist ones, suggesting both to be the products of a capitalist and paternalistic society.
The Walking Woman borrows its title from Mary Austin’s short story depicting a mysterious woman who walks between frontier towns in the American Southwest. Originally published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1907, the story is both timeless and universal, with an uncanny resemblance to the contemporary narratives at play in this book. In their respective works, both Mary Austin and Tanyth Berkeley capture the relationship between the beauty and frailty of the desert landscape and the lives of the women walking it.

Errata Vol. 2
Ode to an Ancient Tree
by Christina Labey
Errata is a series of botanical-inspired publications celebrating imperfection, improvisation, and happy accidents in both printing and planting.
Ode to an Ancient Tree draws from the extensive American Colony of Jerusalem archives (1880s–1950s) to explore the intersection of plants, people, and place. The selection of photographs, edited and altered by Christina Labey, focus on the world’s oldest cultivated fruit tree species—olive, pomegranate, fig, and citrus—alongside documentation of early twentieth-century locust plagues. The result is a contemplation of humanity’s deep-rooted and symbiotic connection with trees—from cultural heritage and cultivation to the ecological impact of natural disasters and human destruction.

Errata Vol. 3
Memory of Water
by Justin James King and Leah Koransky
Errata is a series of botanical-inspired publications celebrating imperfection, improvisation, and happy accidents in both printing and planting.
In this volume, Memory of Water, Justin James King and Leah Koransky focus on desert holly as a lens through which to explore the resilience of life in the arid desert. The book interweaves photographs and handmade ochre pigment washes with botanical and geological still-lifes to create a dynamic field study of a singular species.
Desert holly, botanically known as Atriplex hymenelytra, is the most drought tolerant member of the saltbush family. Native to the southwestern United States, it survives in extremely arid climates by using the salt in its leaves to extract water from the soil. Its distinct silver foliage, shaped like twisted holly leaves, reflects sunlight and is shed during particularly dry periods, a common survival adaptation among desert flora.
The artists drew inspiration from the Trona Pinnacles, a unique geological site in the California Desert where crumbling tufa spires rise from an ancient lakebed. It is an ethereal landscape, blanketed in a pale and clay-like dust, where—despite the palpable absence of moisture—desert holly flourishes. Its presence in this once-submerged landscape is a testament to nature's adaptability to ecological shifts and a poetic contemplation of the landscape’s memory of water.
Memory of Water includes a risograph-printed insert with botanical illustrations and information printed in metallic gold, echoing the luster of the desert holly plant and ephemerality of the landscape in which it thrives.

On Medicine and Madness
Mercuria Vol. 1 — Chapter 3
“On Medicine and Madness” explores the complicated history of mercury and the human body. Since antiquity, we have found ways of ingesting this poisonous element for its supposed healing properties, and yet there is no evidence that this mesmerizing metal actually cures any known disease. It does, however, cause psychological disturbances and death. From drinking mercury in a quest to live forever to mercury fillings and a dentist in search of lost treasure to an artist studio filled with snakes and mercury vapors, “On Medicine and Madness” is a meandering journey through a weird and wonderful anecdotal history.

The Time Travel Issue
Conveyor Magazine
Whether it's the lure of reminiscence, the promise of the future, or scientific fascination, the fantasy of time travel holds universal appeal. The laws of physics suggest that time does not actually flow in any particular direction and therefore we might—someday—travel through time as freely as we travel through space.
This issue of Conveyor Magazine explores time travel by employing the camera as our time machine; a tool that alters our temporal experience and transforms perception of time and space. A photograph eternally suspends a moment, leaving behind a document that we may then return to and investigate again and again. Photographs allow us to reassemble and manipulate the sequence of events. Timelines are thus reconstructed, the past is altered, new histories are created, and the distant future is just a shortcut away.

The Alchemy Issue
Conveyor Magazine
Alchemy is the medieval practice of chemistry aimed at transmuting base metals into gold and finding the elixir of life. Alchemists both ancient and modern sought to uncover the hidden connections that unify the intellectual, the spiritual, and the physical; this clandestine science flourished as an investigation into the unity of ideas. Within these pages, these concepts are unraveled through the medium of photography, whose origins are beholden to the alchemical process.

The Spectre // Spectrum Issue
Conveyor Magazine
Our sense of wonder and fear is most palpable when our visions are fleeting. This issue of Conveyor Magazines investigates the idea of a spectre, that which dissolves from our sight, and a spectrum, a continuum or perfection of vision, overlap and counterbalances each other. The trespassing of these apparitions between the material and immaterial worlds can be equally thrilling and terrifying, amorphous and yet revealing.

Pink Dogwood
Magali Duzant
Pink Dogwood is the first chapter of Magali Duzant’s forthcoming book, A Tree Grows in Queens, in which she reflects on the many ways in which trees manifest into other things, from memorials and myths to meeting points and harbingers of luck. Inspired by trees she found in old-growth forests and on city sidewalks, the book includes a collection of anecdotal writings, archival images, and photographs by Duzant. A Tree Grows in Queens will include eight chapters, each dedicated to a different variety of tree in New York.
Magali Duzant is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice investigates the poetics of perception and inquiry through installations, photography, writing, and artist books. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Queens Museum (New York); UQO Gallery (Montreal, Canada); the Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg, Russia); and the 2018 Mardin Biennial (Mardin, Turkey). She lives and works in New York City.

Visible Spectrum
Our sense of wonder and fear is most palpable when our visions are fleeting. In the forthcoming issue of Conveyor, we will be searching for moments when the properties of a spectre, that which dissolves from our sight, and a spectrum, a continuum or perfection of vision, overlap and counterbalances each other. The trespassing of these apparitions between the material and immaterial worlds can be equally thrilling and terrifying, amorphous and yet revealing. This issue is comprised of absorbing and unexpected sights—phantom or prismatic images, atmospheric phenomena, news from a secret admirer or an absent friend—things that remind us of sidelong glances, illusory dreams, primal discoveries, and ghosts in the machine. They can appear abruptly or be gently delivered; they can range from electrified vision to muted whisper, from stark revelations to those that bleed together.
This issue of Conveyor Magazine is accompanied by Visible Spectrum, a set of nine commissioned artist book with an introductory text by Mark Alice Durant. Each artist—Penelope Umbrico, Hannah Whitaker, Brea Souders, Andrey Bogush, Robert Canali, Inka & Niclas, Dillon DeWaters, and Nicholas Gottlund—is also featured in the pages of this publication. Together with the magazine, this set of zines is a collection of meditations on color and ghostly apparitions.

Joint Photographic Survey Box Set
Adam Ryder
Selections from the Joint Photographic Survey is predicated on the discovery of lost archives from an archeological expedition authored by a colonial entity operating in the Southern Levant in the early twentieth century. Ryder chronicles the story of this collective endeavor through carefully constructed black and white images, original text, and calculated slippages that challenge the authority of colonial values, the historical archive, and photography itself. Alongside these impossible landscapes and utopic structures are incisive captions, illustrations of fabricated ephemera, and an original essay by Cornell University art history professor Benjamin Anderson.

This Folder May Contain Clippings and Other Ephemeral Material
Liz Sales
An ephemera file (sometimes known as an artist's file, a subject file, or a vertical file) is a folder within the collection of a library, archive, or historical society containing loose material such as magazine and newspaper clippings, postcards, and pamphlets. These folders are organized by surname or subject matter and provide original material for researchers. They often do not circulate due to their unique, fragile, and irreplaceable nature. Unlike a bound anthology, the contents of this work are not confined to a stationary page and cannot trace a linear history. The artifacts cannot be completely clipped from their original context nor can they help but change in this new environment. This Folder May Contain Clippings and Other Ephemeral Material is a reminder that no reality is mutually exclusive from another; history is capable of meandering no matter how purposeful our attempts are to contain it.
The publication format was inspired by the folders at the NYPL Picture Collection. Compiled as a varied edition, each folder contains a slightly different edit with roughly fifty pages, printed on various papers, and hand-cut to match the original. Produced as a limited edition of 50, all copies are signed by the artist and include a die-cut Rolodex card for Andy Warhol.

I Looked & Looked
by Magali Duzant
The discrete artist book borrows its title from a love letter that Alfred Stieglitz wrote to Georgia O’Keeffe on the night of September 25, 1923. In his letter, Stieglitz describes a full, white moon over Lake George, New York. On the same night, O’Keeffe penned a description of a pink moon, as witnessed from the shore of York Beach, Maine. Inspired by the synchronicity of this romantic exchange, Duzant called upon twenty creatives to describe the full moon, in anonymity, on the same night from vantage points across the country. That night was October 29, 2012, which brought the unexpected force of Hurricane Sandy, and led to wildly varying accounts of a single sky. I Looked & Looked weaves these narratives together with Duzant’s images in a lyrical reflection on our relationship to the night sky.
Limited copies available from Antenne Books.

The Crystal Fire, VI
Christina Labey
The Crystal Fire, VI is a collection of observations, made via photographs, archival material, and borrowed text, that highlight the similarities of Mount Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei, and the Moon. The book navigates through a myriad of interconnected references, from NASA’s Apollo Project to the deity Apollo—who is ubiquitously represented throughout the region in monuments, such as the Temple of Apollo in Pompeii. The result is a fragmented narrative of these beautiful, yet volatile, volcanic landscapes that are harbingers of both life and death.

Wildlife Analysis
Bryan Graf
Wildlife Analysis is a run through the jungle, a voyage through modes of consciousness and into two swamps roiling at the edges of The Garden State. The incidental landscapes depicted in the series are recorded on a two-track system: black and white photographs are mixed with the direct contact of ambient light flooding onto color film. The resulting images are complicated by a river of intoxicating hues that blend and shift as they wash across the pages. Each book, individually printed and assembled at the Conveyor Studio, mirrors the meandering tone of the series in its construction. Each image, originally printed and laid out in the darkroom on individual 8x10 sheets of photographic paper, has been scanned and, using variable algorithms, arranged into unique sequences. This chance-based organizing principle suggests new interpretations in each edition and allows the intimate and unpredictable nature of the series and its subject matter to glisten in its new form.

Debris of the Days
Bryan Graf
Debris of the Days is an accumulation of photographs, archives, and ephemera from the artist’s studio, a tactile glimpse into experimental practice and daily rituals of Bryan Graf. The book’s title was inspired by the poetry of Raymond Carver, who, as Graf writes, “wrote about the debris of the days, and how that dust sculpts our lives. In its spiral bound form, the book acts as sketchbook of sorts, sculpted by the detritus orbiting Graf’s images.
Debris of the Days also reflects on the artist book as practice—particularly darkroom work—which inherently involves the physical layers of material. The repetition of making print after print, the rhythm and repetition of sequence, and the final, tactile stages of printing and binding the book itself, are all evident in this publication. The book, comprised of images, text, inserts, torn pages, vellum—which overlay the images in a nod to darkroom process—unravel the layers, rhythm, and repetition of Graf’s daily practice. Like the ideas for short stories and poems found written in a tiny notebook in Carver's terry cloth robe after his death, Debris of the Days creates an unfinished portrait of the artist told through fragments.

Strange Paradise
Charlie Rubin
Strange Paradise ambles between the peculiar and the familiar, as Charlie Rubin works intuitively to create unexpected combinations with idiosyncratic logic. Taking perception as his way point, Rubin presents a kaleidoscopic body of work that explores the convergence of the actual and the artificial. While some photographs are manipulated, may are left unchanged, serving to pace and balance the work, and to further question what is real and what is altered.

Where We've Been, Where We're Going, Why?
Dan Boardman & Aspen Mays
This multi-part publication is a collection of personal and public archives—family snapshots, candid photographs of the Challenger crew, astronomy plates of Halley’s Comet, and screenshots of video from the Teacher in Space project Lost Lessons. Boardman and Mays use the photographic archive as a device to draw connections between seemingly disparate events—the return of Halley's Comet, the rite of passage of the American road trip, and the Teacher in Space program, which invited the first civilian to leave the Earth. On January 28th 1986, at the launch of Challenger Mission STS-51-L, these seemingly random events aligned, giving way to the parallel histories explored within this book. In piecing together these photographic remains, Dan Boardman and Aspen Mays, visually inquire into which record is the official record.

Old Man and Sea
by Joy Drury Cox
In her serene interpretation of Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, Joy Drury Cox offers a fresh understanding of time and language. By simplifying this quintessentially American tome to its most basic construction, Old Man and Sea evokes the literal and metaphorical elements of the trace. Honoring the original form of Hemingway's novel, Cox has replicated the exact dimensions of her own well-worn paperback edition. Using Hemingway's periods as a guide, Cox creates new patterns and possibilities for understanding his familiar language. Admittedly this new reading of the work is at first primarily visual. Though, by preserving only the pauses and allowing us to make the journey between them, our sense of Hemingway's pace enters a new dimension.

Stranger
Joy Drury Cox
Stranger is a drawing punctuation study that maps each period in her English translation of Albert Camus’ The Stranger. For the opening of Workshop, Cox has revisited the project through a new series of photographic prints. These enlargements, displayed alongside the original drawings, become new translations of each chapter-heading page in the original Camus text. Further removed from the original book, each print becomes a seemingly random combination of points and numbers, playing off the existential themes of the book.
