Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Since 2007, Richard Renaldi has been working on a series of photographs that involve approaching and asking complete strangers to physically interact while posing together for a portrait. Working on the street with a large format 8-by-10-inch view camera, Renaldi encounters the subjects for his photographs in towns and cities all over the United States. He pairs them up and invites them to pose together, intimately, in ways that people are usually taught to reserve for their close friends and loved ones. Renaldi creates spontaneous and fleeting relationships between strangers for the camera, often pushing his subjects beyond their comfort levels. These relationships may only last for the moment the shutter is released, but the resulting photographs are moving and provocative, and raise profound questions about the possibilities for positive human connection in a diverse society.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. Self-published as a chapbook in 1997, Pier Queen launched the career of spoken word artist and poet Emanuel Xavier with classics such as "Tradiciones" and "Nueva York"- both featured on Russell Simmons presents Def Poetry- and other poems which captured the voice of a generation of queer people of color. For the first time ever, this ground-breaking collection becomes available featuring snapshots taken at the West Side Highway piers throughout the years by photographer Richard Renaldi. This collaboration is a gift to the LGBTQ community and for those who may be interested in how pier queens became poets and great artists against all odds to inspire others to rise above adversity. "In the classic poetry collection Pier Queen, Emanuel Xavier's words shimmer and spark with all the audacious energy of streetwise queer Latino culture. It goes right to the heart of the matter of his world and shines a bright spotlight revealing beauty, scars and the bared souls of its inhabitants." - author Charles Rice-González "Once in a generation, a new voice emerges that makes us see the world in a dazzling new light. Emanuel Xavier is that kind of writer- exciting, vibrant, unique, a visionary bard"- author Jaime Manrique " . a wrinkled yet sentimental world perilously eroding like the piers themselves where Emanuel created himself . loud and daring . extreme and exuberant" - Keith Roach ?Race, class and sexuality? has become somewhat of a scholarly catch-phrase since American literature can now boast an extensive body of work that explores this nexus. But it?s important to note that Emanuel Xavier?s Pier Queen was a trailblazing early example for the newest generation of queer Latino writers. If ever art was a gesture of courage and activism, then there is no clearer evidence?this self-published collection of poetry that launched a career ." - author Rigoberto Gonzalez, from the foreword to Pier Queen.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Manhattan Sundaytransformation of Manhattan from the known world into a dreamscape of characters acting out their fantasies on a grand stage.Drawing heavily on his personal subcultural pathways, Renaldi captures that ethereal moment when Saturday night bleeds into Sunday morning across the borough of Manhattan. This collection of portraits, landscapes, and club interiors evokes the vibrant nighttime rhythms of a city that persists in both its decadence and its dreams, despite beliefs to the contrary. Manhattan Sunday is a personal memoir that also offers a reflection the citys evolving identityone that still carries with it and cherishes the echoes of its past. Part homage to a slice of New York nightlife, and part celebration of New York as palimpsest - an evolving form onto which millions of people have and continue to project their ideal selves and ideal lives, this book describes the author's experiences as a young man in the late 1980s who had recently embraced his gay identity.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 70 pages. Published in 2011. The photographer's debut collection of color portrait-photographs. One of the most beautiful photography books of our time. Limited Edition of 500 copies. The first and only edition. The Limited Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Ian Van Coller and Andrew Sloat: Oversize-volume format. Cream cloth boards with titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Ian Van Coller. Essay by Sindiwe Magona, one of the most acclaimed South African writers of our time. Edited by fellow-photographer Richard Renaldi. Separations by Robert J. Hennessey. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper to the highest standards. The reproduction is exemplary in every respect. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Ian Van Coller's "Interior Relations". A photographic gallery of and for our time: Delicate and reverential portraits of South African housekeepers, nannies, and maids. "While Ian van Coller was growing up in the 1970's, the black women working in his parents' upper-class home in a whites-only suburb of Johannesburg were valued as members of the family. Nannies and maids who helped raise the children and run the household, they were ever-present confidants and friends. And yet they were conspicuously absent from family vacations and photo albums. Apartheid, though it has been officially consigned to history, continues to live on in nearly a million South African homes, where blacks still serve the needs of the white minority. Deftly probes this enduring racial fault line with a simple yet elegant premise: Black housekeepers, nannies, and maids pose for formal portraits in the homes that they care for. Though the subjects' white employers are never shown, evidence of their privilege crowds around the women, forever out of reach, every portrait a cameo of Apartheid in redux. For Sindiwe Magona, one of South Africa's most celebrated writers, working as a domestic in her youth provided a desperately-needed but meager income that she was forced to supplement by selling sheep heads on the street. Serving white families represented a constriction of the soul that was broken only by the force of will to become a writer. Magona channels the voices of Van Coller's subjects through her own years as a domestic worker. Offers a starkly original view of the intersection of race and class in post-Apartheid South Africa" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Ian Van Coller and Sindiwe Magona collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 500 copies. It is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Ian Van Coller. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page.
