A road trip to the heart of pre-millennial, communal fervour; Lizard Point '99 is a textual and photographic exploration of a young man's last few days of being wild. 

By a chance inter-generational encounter, Jerry O'Driscoll's documentary photography of the Total Solar Eclipse event has been un-earthed and curated by Luke Overin - amounting to a glorious, monochromatic ode to illegal raves, fuggy campervans, and a very English kind of communal identity.

Whilst the photographs in the book recount a specific and special time in O’Driscoll’s life, the supporting interview is forward thinking in its messaging and presents a rallying cry to a fragmentary society tip-toeing cautiously towards a post-pandemic future.

Cloud Gazing - by Holly Rae Jones - £30
In her debut photo book, "Cloud Gazing', Holly Rae Jones leads us through a dreamy and hedonistic world scattered with clues of the decadence of the past. Vending machines dispensing only bouquets of flowers, karaoke booths with ancient patterned wallpaper, sun-bleached Hollywood shop window displays. These images - at times bordering on kitsch - are fascinated with tired consumerism and have a sad but celebratory quality to them. Nothing is straightforward in the world that Jones crafts; she asks the viewer whether the clouds they are gazing at are a picture of clouds or a picture of a picture of clouds. 
The photographs in this book are augmented with graphics from Hope Roalfe.
Poisonous Berries - by Sasha Kurmaz - £10
In Poisonous Berries, Sasha Kurmaz explores notions of individualization and sexuality caught between the ideological spectres of his native Ukraine. Cut and paste collage of Orthodox iconography is echoed by Soviet-era ruins and juxtaposed with provocative photography; all printed onto 60gsm Offenbach bible paper.
