Transformation of a Landscape by Victoria Sambunaris (Radius Books, 2024)
About the book (from the publisher):

“Transformation of a Landscape shares the nuance and majesty of the artist’s practice in a large-scale book format. Each year, Sambunaris structures her life around a photographic journey traversing the American landscape. Equipped with a 5×7-inch field camera, film, a video camera, and research material, she crosses the country alone by car for several months. Her large-scale photographs capture the continuing transformation of the American landscape with specific attention given to expanding political, technological, and industrial interventions.“

They work teaching ghost hunting, ritual, photography, and mushroom foraging.

They are a 2024 Guggenheim Fellow.

What the Rain Might Bring by Dylan Hausthor (TBW Books, 2024)
About the book (from the publisher):

“Designed as a work of art in its own right, the book features a frame—black edge and spine printing—and is completely devoid of text with only a simple title on its cover. The minimalist design sets the stage for an immersive sensory experience that intertwines the tactile and the visual, drawing readers into a world steeped in mysticism.”

Orange Blossom Trail by Joshua Lutz and George Saunders (ITI Press, 2024)
About the book (from the publisher):

“In Orange Blossom Trail, writer George Saunders, and photographer Joshua Lutz offer an alternately poetic and searing evocation of the cruelty and tender beauty of contemporary American life. Lutz (whose photobooks, including Mind The Gap and Hesitating Beauty, have been named Best Art Books by TIME and PhotoEye) and Saunders (Man Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln In The Bardo and MacArthur Award recipient) first met on a magazine assignment, where they discovered a shared interest in both the psychological and material conditions of the laboring individual, and in the Buddhist teachings of attachment and the sacredness of existence. Through Lutz’s recent photos, and three texts selected by Saunders from different moments in his career, the book asks, when do we zoom in and when do we zoom out from the individual lives whose labor supports other lives. Orange Blossom Trail is a meditation on awareness, the alienation of the industrialized landscape, and the brutality of American inequality.”

Sons of the Living by Bryan Schutmaat (Trespasser, 2024)
About the book (from the publisher):

“Sons of the Living is a photobook about the land and people along the highways of America’s deserts. 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.”

Unveiling by Alanna Fields (Meteoro Editions, 2025)
About the book (from the publisher):

“Fold. In this dream, a floating pair of red boots quickly guides the body through the centre. Fold. Long coffin nails firmly planted on her waist. Fold. Her wrist glides above her head and down the side of her neck. Fold. A slow twirl as she makes her way across the floor, waist and neck jointly bouncing. Fold. A quiet cheer grows while her face remains composed. Fold. A glint of excitement holding the corners of her lips, threatening the ‘sexy deer caught in headlights’ look she had been practising for weeks. Fold. The cheer roars on and echoes through the laminated walls.”
Sumia Jaama for Unveiling.

American Glitch by Andrea Orejarena and Caleb Stein (Gnomic Book, 2024)
About the book (from the publisher):

“Andrea Orejarena and Caleb Stein spent years treating the internet as their collective subconscious, collecting social media posts of people’s 'real life glitches' as part of their lengthy research process, which are presented in the book as four dimensional reverberations through time and space; the duo later made formal photographs of a series of sites around the U.S. which are reminiscent of the glitches.”
