Today, LOVING II is finally here. 💙
Following the worldwide success of the first LOVING (2020), this new volume by 5 Continents Editions unveils more than 320 never-before-seen photographs collected by Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell — intimate portraits of men who loved each other between 1850 and 1950.
Anonymous, often hidden for decades, these images capture the quiet courage of those who chose love over fear, tenderness over silence.
From studios to military camps, from family homes to city parks, each photograph speaks of devotion, freedom, and humanity — reminding us that love, in all its forms, is timeless.

“Without their love, these photographs wouldn’t exist. And without innocence, without freedom from all blame
and every judgement, there is no love”.
(Laura Leonelli)

In the quiet, reflective time of Christmas, art becomes a space for storytelling, passage and transmission.
Bela Sara’s Untitled (Scène d’initiation), ca. 1950, oil on panel, evokes a moment of transformation and knowledge—a silent ritual shaped by memory, identity and shared heritage.
The same perspective runs through More than Meets the Eye. A Tale of Modern and Contemporary Art of Africa, a volume that traces over a century of artistic creation, where tradition and modernity meet, and ancestral legacies inform contemporary visions. It is a book for readers who see art as a living narrative, capable of connecting cultures, histories and worldviews.

Where life begins. ✨
SEEDS is a book for those who love discovering wonder in the smallest details. Through 200 extraordinary photographs, Paul Starosta reveals the hidden splendour of seeds, transforming overlooked natural forms into objects that resemble sculptures, jewels or miniature works of art.
Drawing on rare collections and enriched by a text by Michel Butor, this volume is ideal for nature lovers, art enthusiasts and anyone fascinated by the dialogue between science and beauty. Each image captures the mystery of life at its origin, while the final section offers clear scientific insights into the seeds’ structures and families.
A refined book to own, to give, and to return to—perfect for readers who seek poetry, knowledge and visual elegance in a single volume.

Peindre, c’est écouter le monde.
Fabienne Verdier développe une œuvre nourrie par la rencontre entre systèmes de pensée, époques et cultures différentes. Son processus créatif repose sur l’hybridation des savoirs et se manifeste à travers des inventions techniques radicales, comme d’immenses pinceaux et des alliages d’émaux innovants.
Peintre et penseuse, Verdier a fait de ce dialogue constant une matière vivante, donnant naissance à plusieurs ouvrages fascinants publiés par Five Continents Editions : ÉCHO. Carnets d’atelier (2017–2022), Sur les terres de Cézanne, The Song of Stars – Le chant des étoiles et Rainbow Paintings. Fabienne Verdier (avec un texte de Corinna Thierolf).
En 2025 paraît ÉCHO. Fabienne Verdier. Carnets d’atelier (2011–2017), un nouveau volume qui dévoile le cœur de son geste pictural, entre discipline, écoute et résonance.

Where roots reveal consciousness.
With its ability to question the world and shape the future, contemporary art occupies a special place in Garance Primat eclectic collection, which offers interactions with modern art from around the world, minerals, and wisdom-bearing objects. The collector invites us to trust her sensibility as we explore the universal, where words struggle to grasp the interconnectedness of living things. An original message emerges from the “root” of things, awakening a shared consciousness.
This book, built around the etymology of seven key words linked to nature and the universe, is an invitation to let ourselves be carried away by the senses and discover the invisible links that unite us.

LOVING: Photographs of Men in Love reveals a hidden history of affection and connection between men from the 1850s to the 1950s. Collected by Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell, these once-private photographs capture tender moments that quietly defied convention.
Presented for the first time in Australia at Canberra Museum + Gallery, LOVING celebrates the universality of love and the desire to be seen and remembered. Alongside the exhibition, our volumes ‘LOVING’ and ‘LOVING II’ have also made their way to Australia.
📸 In the pictures: a preview of the exhibition and the visit of Ms Sam Mostyn AC, Governor-General of Australia, at the opening night at @canberramuseumandgallery .
Co-presented with the Delegation of the European Union to Australia. @euinaus
This is the first stage of an exhibition tour that will bring LOVING across Australia.

È stato un vero piacere presentare al pubblico LOVING II alla @libreria_antigone_milano .
Sono intervenuti Mauro Muscio, fondatore della Libreria Antigone; @alice.redaelli , Presidente @cigarcigaymilano ; @antoniomancinelli_ , giornalista e scrittore; ed @ericghysels , fondatore di 5 Continents Editions.
Un dialogo ricco e necessario, dedicato a temi che ci stanno profondamente a cuore.
Il primo volume, pubblicato nel 2020, è diventato un best seller internazionale e, a cinque anni di distanza, la collezione di fotografie che lo ha ispirato conta oltre 4000 immagini. LOVING II raccoglie nuovi scatti, ritratti di coppie di uomini innamorati, capaci di restituire tutta la gioia, l’intimità e la forza emotiva del primo libro. Come osserva l’editore Eric Ghysels, “potrebbe chiamarsi MOVING, una parola che ho letto e sentito più volte nelle reazioni delle persone a questo libro, che in effetti è commovente”.
Ogni fotografia racconta in un istante la storia di due persone, confermando l’universalità e la bellezza dell’amore.
