In 1993, writer and puzzle designer Régis Hauser buried a golden owl, and authored a book in which he detailed 11 riddle-like clues for finding it. Almost 30 years later, thousands of treasure hunters have attempted it. None have succeeded.
In her latest photobook, Emily Graham invites us to join the quest. Enigmatic and sometimes surreal, it taps into both the allure of the hunt and the profound philosophical questions underlying it.

“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new end.”

Promising a ‘fascinating utopia’ is Moroccan photographer Mous Lamrabat’s new show, Blessings from Mousganistan, opening at FOAM Amsterdam today.
Drawing on his layered identity and diasporic experience, the photographer blends cultural symbols with commercial iconography from globally recognised brands to create new, fantastical worlds. Though visually stimulating, the scenes go beyond the purely aesthetic, and serve to address themes surrounding racism, immigration, religion and women’s rights.

Beginning in 1996, Chris Leslie’s visual art project, ‘A Balkan Journey’, is a photobook, website, and series of events and exhibitions. It captures war-torn communities in post-conflict former Yugoslavia as they rebuilt their lives.
“We couldn’t believe there would be a war in Europe in 2022, just like no-one could believe there could be war in Europe in 1992 or in 1942. There are lessons and stories from ‘A Balkan Journey’ that need to be seen, heard and understood,” he says.

Erica Reade's timeless images of lovers lounjing on beaches are both evocative and wistful. They are universal in many ways, but also, she says, distinctly New York.
“People of all backgrounds and identities descend upon the city’s shores, and for a few hours, they shed the layers and masks that this city so often requires us to wear.”
