The same town is the subject of \u003ci\u003eWisconsin Death Trip\u003c\/i\u003e, a book of photographs taken by Charles Van Schaick in the late 1800s documenting the bleak hardships of the lives and deaths of its inhabitants. Sanguinetti first came across this book as a child, and the experience is engraved into her memory as her first reckoning with mortality. This encounter eventually led her to explore the strange relationship of photography and death, and ultimately to make her own visits to Black River Falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe austere, sculptural scenes and ambiguous, uneasy portraits that make up \u003ci\u003eSome Say Ice \u003c\/i\u003edepict a place almost outside of time.

By bringing undercurrents of doubt and darkness to the surface of her images, Sanguinetti alludes to things absent or invisible, playing on atmospheres both real and imagined, as well as the ghostly possibility of undoing death through the act of photography.

For years, he has photographed there a charred land suffering from increasing scorching wildfires. But, far from any voyeuristic dramatization, scarce are the depictions of the roaring flames, or of the fire’s fury. Rather, standing at a respectful distance, Bates photographs in rich black and white tones what is at the margin, the traces, the aftermaths. The beauty and horror of the landscape, too, enshrouded in a grey cloak of ashes and plumes. “There is a moment after a wildfire burns but before humans return”, says Bates, “where the land and forests are both beautiful and terrifying.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHis photographs, seemingly suspended out of time in a muffled silence, at the edge of the catastrophe, are a meditative exploration on this liminal stage between calm and violence, on the fine line we dance on when we build and expand on nature’s ground.

Sandoval’s work moves between streetscapes, nude self-portraits, compositions of found forms, and tender photographs of her family, all suffused with a sensitivity to the ways in which the artist’s surroundings, loved ones, and home continuously shape her sense of self and belonging. The artist’s husband, parents, and siblings are pictured in their homes as well as in more dislocating rural and urban landscapes between the US and Mexico, tracing a continuum between displacement and rootedness.

Photographed over the course of a decade in the American West’s arid and sweeping terrain, this work depicts a human capacity for endurance. Schutmaat offers an updated view of the “open road” that addresses a new era of uncertainty and anxiety. Amidst a backdrop of environmental decline, economic dispossession, and societal neglect, Sons of the Living draws attention to trouble on the road ahead and searches for our hope to withstand it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trespasser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45568826343481,"sku":"1-0113","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/2026_03_20_RealmBooks_07A4477_SonsoftheLiving_small_c5f441b6-ef61-47d6-a290-28ba95e36191.jpg?v=1774127144"},{"product_id":"megalith-still","title":"Megalith-Still","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMegalith-Still\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mimiplumb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMimi Plumb\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStanley\/Barker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e250x220mm \u003cbr\u003e136 pages \u003cbr\u003eTritone \u003cbr\u003eCover —  fibrous wool Paper \/ 3\/4 bound  \/ Foil Stamped\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrom STANLEY\/BARKER: Mimi Plumb's breathtaking monograph Megalith-Still is a meditation on the sublime within the untamed American landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach summer from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, the acclaimed photographer travelled from her home in San Francisco to Kings Canyon, a wilderness where she communed with a band of horses.

Channels of the San Joaquin River braid through the thick, lush grass. I take off my shoes and socks, roll up my pants and wade through the shallow water to where the horses are now eating. They trace a pattern, mysterious to me, around and around the meadow, eating, drinking, and sleeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“Late in the afternoon, the horses abruptly leave the meadow in a single line. I race after them through a swamp of thick mud and dead trees and branches which scratch my arms. They trot and canter, moving faster than they’ve moved all day. I can’t catch up to them. When I reach the edge of the main riverbank, I see the last of the horses cautiously step into the deep, swift-moving water, and slowly float to the other side.” - Mimi Plumb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThree-quarter bound in a uniquely tactile fibrous wool paper (produced using surplus from the fashion industry) and expertly printed in tritone, Mimi Plumb’s Megalith-Still is a truly timeless publication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanley\/Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45680408002617,"sku":"1-0118","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/Megalith_Still_1778626469965_original.jpg?v=1778628978"},{"product_id":"la-polaroids","title":"L.A.

He liked its plain comforts: an ironing board folded into the wall, a coffee pot bubbling on the stove, Garfield the hotel cat who kept him company. It felt familiar, not just a place to pass through. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHe always carried his SX-70 Polaroid camera, making tender images when work paused, bringing what William Friedkin called “a foreigner’s eye” to America: noticing details others missed, avoiding clichés, always returning to light and colour as his true subjects. In these Polaroids, Müller frames a Los Angeles that no longer exists: small rooms, edges of the beach, street corners, a city built for cars seen by a cinematographer who preferred to walk. They reveal a man far from home, looking for stillness and light in the spaces in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEdited and with an introduction by Andrea Müller-Schirmer; designed by Linda van Deursen and expertly printed in Italy and bound as a uniquely flexible chopped linen soft-back, silk screened in a sun-kissed orange, it carries the warmth of Müller’s Los Angeles.
