Home New Zealand

Home New Zealand is a magazine that comes out every 2 months showcasing beautiful house designs around Aotearoa. When houses are featured, every bit of credit is awarded. Interior furniture designs, objects created by artists (paintings, vases, etc), architects are also clarified. Powerful photos are taken of the building, in and out, and a plan is also placed in the magazine, along with the architect's photo. Home New Zealand is a big source of advertising for producers of anything home-related, air conditioning etc, and this is seen in their big advertising section.

Roman Signer : Projections : Super-8 films and videos 1975 - 2008
A book by Aleksandra Signer, Peter Zimmermann and Simon Maurer

Description taken from amazon.com:

"Critic Gregory Volk has written, if you wanted to make a list of major contemporary artists who, for whatever reason, are comparatively little known in the U.S., Roman Signer should be right near the top." Projections, which bring together 33 years of video and Super-8 film stills with a comprehensive catalogue raisonne, helps give the Swiss artist's oeuvre the state side exposure it deserves. The footage documents key moments in the artist's precisely choreographed performances. Signer is known for his poetic hijinks and dramatic experiments with fire, water and air; in 2000, he rode a kayak - towed behidn a van - down a road at 20 miles per hour until a hole had worn through the bottom. Seeking out those moments of transition - where materials transform and time seems to accelerate or drag - Signer, through his experimental play with the principles of physics and chemistry, has created an unparalleled body of work that primarily exists as documents of nonreproducible actions."

This book is a book on film. Within the book is a huge amount of photos showing the key details of the movie. This book is very unique in the fact that every possibility is explored in film. For example, one of my favourite photo sequences was buckets full of water falling down, and when it got to the ground, it splashed up in unity, causing this fake wall of water to appear.
