‘Weightless at Last’ shown as an immersive 270° video installation at Studio1111 The work extends the photo series into moving image and sound, drawing viewers into its emotional register: sequenced images move slowly across darkened walls, accompanied by a ceremonial soundscape that builds tension through layers of doom, noise and ambient textures.

THE SQUARE ROUTE OF MINUS ONE [ i ] by Harley Roberts @harleyr0berts Launching 25 | 26 October @boundartbookfair [DM us to reserve a copy to collect or post] A record of painting, between the lines – painting by numbness, the unseen-scenes-between-scenes. “I am aware that the photos are dead, yet, this publication is only alive because it refuses to be real. The orbit of zero. The square route of minus one. [ i ]. The hallucinatory, the self-consuming, the linguistic fever dream where the imaginary and the real, collapse into the impossible number of [ i ] : the unseen engine behind oscillation. Read it with [ i ] in mind – a world that only exists in tension. There is no positive or negative here but a disappearing perpendicular to both. This work does not describe, so much as it vibrates along the imaginary dimension where all emotions wither and language intersects; trembling between decay and divinity, contact through distance, presence through the algebra of absence.” - Harley Roberts 17 x 22cm Hand-pulled Silkscreen Softcover : 300gsm Gmund Cement Grey 52 pages : 120gsm Recycled Natural First Edition /50 Printed in the North of England Painting, photography & words by @harleyr0berts Designed & published by @hardel____

SAN MICHELE by Ben Barbetta Thompson @bnthmpsn Launching 25 | 26 October @boundartbookfair [DM us to reserve a copy to collect or post] Shot in a single afternoon on the Venetian cemetery island, a ferry ride from the mainland, SAN MICHELE offers an insight into one of the most baroque displays of mass death memorial that Italy is famed for. Grand gothic pavilions, endless fields of crosses, weather-beaten statues, names dissolving under lichen, all encased at the core of a clay-walled isle sinking further into the lagoon by the burial. A quiet theatre of remembrance, screaming at tourists from over the water. Not many listen. Barbetta Thompson repeatedly photocopies these images, imprinting a visual decay, fading them with ink, like the monuments eroded by time. This is not a postcard or a documentary piece, but a statement of impermanence, an artistic exploration to trigger the feeling of being the only living person standing on that soil, on that day, at that time. SAN MICHELE revels in the showmanship of beauty and power, the seduction of Catholic pomp, the human impulse to preserve, to mourn, to mark our territory. 19 x 25cm Softcover : Takeo Tant Select N-52 60 pages : 120gsm Munken Lynx Singer Sewn First Edition /50 Printed in the UK Photography, Art Direction & Design @bnthmpsn Published by @hardel____

WEIGHTLESS AT LAST by Jon Cuadros @jncdrs Now available via hardel.net [link in bio] + @villagebooks.co @bildband.berlin @voostore @safelightberlin [further stockists coming soon] 20 x 25cm Hardcover : Honan Rubinrot 112 pages : 115gsm Garda Pat Klassica First Edition /100 In Weightless At Last, Berlin-based photographer Jon Cuadros tackles the wall between himself and the world around him. Drawing on his affinity for poetry, Weightless At Last reads like a 5-year visual diary that eschews traditional narrative elements, presenting a story through shadowy vignettes of fine art photography and off-the-cuff snapshots that push the autobiographical and the universal, a unique eye the artist wields. There’s comfort in believing photographs document the reality of things, but reality doesn’t belong to us. We’re bound to see everything differently, and what lingers in these collected fragments isn’t fact. They offer some truth beyond names and maps: loss, vulnerability, longing— the feelings that make us human. Published by @hardel____
