Light and Magic: The Birth of Art Photography examines the many global manifestations of Pictorialism and the diverse strategies of photographers who sought to position photography as a fine art since the late 19th century. It expands our understanding of Pictorialism beyond aesthetics, to include its deep ties to an international network of photographic societies.Bringing together over eighty artists from around the world, this book takes a new look at the history of art photography and the vast and varied artistic possibilities of photography as a medium.

Imagining Singapore is the first comprehensive study on the history of Pictorial photography in Singapore. Drawing from interviews, unpublished historical data and newly discovered photographs, the book unveils a fascinating aspect of visual culture and its links to global Pictorialism. While Singapore experienced sweeping changes from independence and industrialisation, Pictorial photography took on multiple roles, acting as a symbol of democracy and modernity, staging national identity and providing a mechanism for Singaporeans to engage with ideas of the past, present and future. Such photographs shaped the way modern Singapore was imagined and represented for decades to come.

Earth Work 1979, a restaging of selected works from the seminal 1980 exhibition, revisits Tang's then unparalleled usage of organic materials and public spaces. This catalogue delves deeper into Tang's practice and the circumstances of the creation of his earth works through a rich copmendium of essays, interviews, newspaper articles and never-before-seen photo-documentation.

This richly illustrated catalogue considers the power of photography and its mobilisation within systems of knowledge and representation. Rather than just thinking about what photographs show, Living Pictures asks: what do photographs do? It acknowledges that photographs have lives—they move and they act—and in the process, they affect the world around them. This catalogue accompanies the world’s first-ever survey of the medium’s histories across Southeast Asia, from its earliest beginnings in the 19th century until its diverse contemporary manifestations. Special emphasis is placed on photography’s creation, circulation and consumption, as well as how these processes have shaped the visual regimes of the region. In addition to essays by the curators and interviews with artists and photographers featured in the exhibition, the catalogue showcases new research by leading international scholars focusing on the interdisciplinary intersections between photography and art history, archaeology and cultural theory.
