The Mysterious Worlds of Patrizio Di RenzoEight short stories, unfold across these pages and each has its own inherent motif, form and rhythm. Each series wears a particular color, as if the book housed a confrontation of different styles, as if the photographer were trying out different styles or writing.Patrizio Di Renzo key concern is to spirit the viewer of his images into another universe, far from the real, from the everyday.

A new title in this accessible and affordable photography series

Adolescence is a period where egocentrism and self-discovery prevail, but so does the desire to interact with people of the same age. Both individualism and group dynamics shape a teenager's opinions and personality. The photographer explores, being herself a twin sister, the relationship between twins during adolescence. She investigates how similarity may affect the way a twin builds his or her own identity.

Finally the small print gets to be big. In this sequel to Good News (always read the fine print), photographer Jordi Bernad* revamps his personal viewpoint in order to make another tour around the world and to demonstrate that the details hidden in minute type at the bottom of the page can and should be read. The shanty towns of Brazil, the peep shows of Barcelona, the beaches of Cape Town and Sydney, the downtown core of Detroit, the ruins of Bucharest, and the subterranean world of Nagoya coalesce here to form a unique landscape. Reproduced in pairs, juxtaposing images from joint but different trips, the photographs in Very Very Bad News share a single contriving, by means of what can be read between two images, to accentuate the insistence on portraying the black side of apparent normality.
