Stephanie Solinas is a French artist born in 1978, living in Paris and Barcelona. Trained in photography at the ENS Louis Lumiere, Doctor of Fine Arts, she developed a varied practice including book and installation to further investigate the medium of photography. Through sophisticated systems, we discover her attraction to the idea of the individual in the modern society and their unique characteristics, in particular, the concept of identity as an area of contact between the self and the Other.
"The crossover between art, science and politics in the study of identity is the foundation of \'Dominique Lambert\', a work that reveals the delicate balance between representation and reality.
"In France, Dominique is the most common name applied to both genders. It is also the twenty seventh most popular name overall. The twenty-seventh most popular surname is Lambert.
"According to the telephone directory, there are one hundred and ninety-one Dominique Lamberts in France. After collecting various tests on the characterology of the forename Dominique, I sent a letter to each Domnique Lambert requesting that they complete a \'Chinese Portrait\' and a personality test. To the sixty-five who replied, I then requested a copy of their photographic ID. Twenty copies were received : the twenty Dominique Lambert who form this collection.
"From the \'Chinese Portraits\' received, I developed a \'written portrait\' with the assistance of the Advisory Committee for the Description of Dominique Lambert (composed of a psychologist, a statistician, a police inspector, a lawyer and a corporate identity consultant).
"This text formed the basis of the sketch drawn by the artist Benoit Bonnemaison-Fitte, which was then transformed into photo-fit by Dominique Ledee, police investigator of the Criminal Records. I then looked for models in the public who resembled the police photo-fit and photographed them.
"Purchasing the book triggers the activation of the work presented as this limited edition book, as the 21 envelopes containing the photo ID are posted out to the buyer over a period of 21 weeks, to be inserted into the book and thus closing the chain of representation."

galleryData['anc04']['veronique'] = [new Object(), "Alaska Editions is proud to present Veronique Rolland's first compendium, documenting the initial decade the French born artist lived in the British capital, from 1996 to 2006. It is a compilation of 6 series, mixing people and landscape photography. The core of the artist's work, however, revolves around the concept of femininity. The portrait of a girl, the relationship of a mother with her child, the transformation of strippers in their job, those themes form a common thread which aims to explore the various identities of a woman at the turn of the 21st century. They are intersected by a series of windows, seemingly suspended objects, freely floating in time and space, and pictures of snow and fog, lifeless elements, which nonetheless adhere to the transformative processes of nature. This is the link holding it together, forming a subtle survey with archival character that puts human existence in a bigger context, connecting it to universal laws that guide us through life.
With Veronique Rolland's '6', Alaska Editions continues its dedication to bespoke publishing projects. The best of quality in print and paper, updating the traditional craft of bookbinding, combined with a considerate limitation of numbers makes every book a highly sought after collector's piece. Alaska has been the home for international art photographers with a new perspective on the genre. It has challenged the making of magazines and successfully created a new field of printed objects/artworks that have been added to the collections of some of the most respected public galleries, such as Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

galleryData['anc04']['fetherstonhaugh'] = [new Object(), 'Lost and Found
by Patrick and Tristram Fetherstonhaugh
Lost and Found is a series of 35 photographs documenting the 35 cabinets of the pottery collection at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, University College London.
The collection was assembled by Professor Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1952) to be used for teaching and identification. The cabinets that house the collection are arranged typologically giving each cabinet its own aesthetic and palette. The pottery itself dates from 5,000 BC and includes both ceremonial and everyday items – a surprisingly modern and democratic approach to historical artifacts.
The photographs form a portrait of a collection. The title of the piece refers to the pottery that was created, used, lost and found centuries later, but also resonates with the collection itself: With teaching collections rarely still used for their original purpose, many are now threatened and being disbanded. The series records this pressure – the aging fluorescent lights which illuminate the cabinets give each cabinet its own colour cast which we have purposely chosen not to correct nor intervene where the lights have failed.
The photographs were taken – over a three-year period – with a custom-made camera set-up, constructed to allow the cabinets to be shot in as an objective way as possible despite the confined layout of the Museum.
