ROGER PALMER
Circulation
Glasgow-based artist Robert Palmer combines photography, wall-drawing, video, text and other media into powerful work commenting on representation of landscape, and its relationship to colonial and post-colonial discourse in places like South Africa and Australia. This second monograph for Palmer, which includes 84 gelatin-silver photographs made from 2001-2011, is divided into three sections – Latitude, Circulation and Longitude – made on different journeys. Palmer says his photos are not about describing the world, but “much more about bringing together different fragments of the world into one location, and that location is the photographic picture plane.” The book also includes an essay by Penelope Curtis, Director of Tate Britain, in which she recalls her experiences as Palmer’s travelling companion on a journey through South Africa.

WILLEM POPELIER
Observations
Dutch photographer Willem Popelier accidently found 91 photographs and two films made by two girls on a publicly accessible computer, which kicked off a longrunning project in which Popelier explored the role of photography on the internet and social media sites along with the charged debate about identity and privacy on the internet. This book is a compilation of five recent projects on the theme of how anonymous people are willing to portray themselves photographically in “public” forums. Showroom Girls follows Popelier as he creates – completely legally and without any hacking – an intimate portrait using clues left behind by one of the girls on websites such as Hyves, Facebook and Twitter. Also includes This is Me and This is Me; Mr. and Mrs. Happylife; Visual Proof of My Existence and Rejected Identities.
