‘Murmurings of the Skin’ by Olivia Arthur, published by Void.

-

“I’m fascinated with the idea of physicality and of trying to find a way to capture the energy running through people’s bodies, the feeling of skin touching skin. Though the work looks at technology and its achievements, ultimately it is about people, love, the power of the body and strength of the mind, and our never-ending need for physical closeness.” — Olivia Arthur

Today on FT Weekend, ‘Responds Quickly, Friendly’ by Marens van Leunen – published by Void. Preorders are on.

-

“What resulted was a series of staged, black-and-white images that are playful, even a little absurd: teacups assembled in towers, saucepans arranged in precarious stacks, sculptural pillow forts, which, alongside handwritten inventories, have become the subject of her new book ‘Responds Quickly, Friendly’. “When you view belongings as extensions of identity, discarding them abruptly can feel like an aggressive act,” says the artist. “Setting up and photographing them became a physical act... a process of letting go of my childhood.” — Inès Cross

Glad to present ‘Responds Quickly, Friendly’ by Marens van Leunen. ⚡️ The first 30 preorders come with a limited edition signed Riso print. Respond quickly!

-

‘Responds Quickly, Friendly’ is the debut book from Dutch visual artist and photographer Marens van Leunen. The work brings together carefully constructed still life installations of her father’s belongings, taken before his apartment, where he had lived for thirty years, was sold. From coffee cups to computer screens, sofas to storage boxes, these staged photographs become playful inventories of belongings soon to be listed and uploaded, bought and sold. van Leunen’s work is a site where personal history, memory, and material culture intersect; it is both a gentle meditation on the relationship between a father and daughter and an intimate study of the significance of our daily objects and domestic interiors.

Excited to present ‘JJ VFF VV’ by João Linneu. ⚡️ The first 50 preorders come with a limited edition Riso zine.

-

‘JJ VFF VV’ is an intimate documentation of the birth of Linneu’s first child and a raw study of the painful complications of pregnancy. This new book by Void co-founder João Linneu creates a sensitive visual language around an experience so often shrouded in silence. Photographs unfold chronologically, as Linneu and his partner navigate the private spaces of the bedroom and bathroom, the hospital ward, and the brutal buildings in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. A diaristic record of vulnerability, the work traces the physical and emotional thresholds of pregnancy and the creative potential of collective family experience.
