Saturday at Polycopies and Sunday starting at Off Print and later making it all the way to the big fair. If you\u2019ve ever been you will be able to relate, or I guess also if you have never been let me tell you: it is overwhelming. Hundreds if not thousands of books and zines and posters and leporellos and things you\u2019ve never even heard of before. Plus all the conversations you could be having with authors, publishers, designers. You certainly won\u2019t get bored. However you also end up doing maybe 50% of what you planned to do. You become desensitised to images, so this year I had a plan, or tried to at least. I made a list of books I had waited for to come out, found the tables, looked at everything they\u2019ve got and then took a walk to kind of cleanse my palette I guess. The books that stayed with me until the end I got just before the fairs closed. I thought this year&#8217;s programme was a lot stronger and diverse than last year&#8217;s, to the point where I had to leave a good number of titles behind. (I promise I\u2019ll get hold of them for my best of 2025!)

In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noema<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Michael Swann explores the aura of place and the nature of religious experience through the Marian apparitions reported in Garabandal in 1961 and Medjugorje twenty years later. Combining his own photographs with stills appropriated from footage of the visionaries in ecstasy, he highlights the gap between inner spiritual experience and what can be visually documented. Reflecting on his own lost faith, Swann wonders whether a profound encounter\u2014like those claimed by the visionaries\u2014might allow belief to return.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ab9c671 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"

Built from walks, funerals, and tossed-off comments, it pays attention to the small disruptions\u2014plastic grave markers, cooling paper cups, awkward laughter\u2014that show how grief actually plays out.

country\u2019s collective imagination. For <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Escapism<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Roger Eberhard zooms in on a set of landscape lids, using a high-resolution camera to crop them into extreme close-ups, tapping into this very Swiss habit of slipping into daydreams during a quick coffee break. The resulting series becomes a catalogue of classic landscape motifs\u2014many now under threat from climate change\u2014with the blown-up grid of the prints hinting at their mass-produced origins and grounding the viewer back in reality.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd66873 e-flex
