In a fast-paced world with mega upheaval, including climate crises
and a global pandemic, the allure of growing your own food, being
self-sufficient, and living green is immense. This yearning for not
being wholly reliant on the supermarket, and the growing concerns
over pesticides and food miles has led to the resurgence in seeking
old-world skills. As showcased in Urban Homesteads, the benefits of
a productive garden on your doorstep or within arm's reach, tending
to chickens, harvesting your own honey, and using eco-friendly
water-harvesting techniques are clear: fresh herbs, vegetables, and
fruit on tap, fresh eggs, delicious honey; plus living at a slower
pace, better value for money, and a more soothing and mindful
existence. Of course, a healthy garden and environment also
attracts beneficial insects and birds. Get inspired with this
book's range of eco-friendly possibilities from around the globe.
With beautiful full-colour photos, gathered here are stories of
people who have set up their own productive and abundant back yard
or patio, as well as examples of great vertical planters, indoor
gardens, and those who have reached into the urban community
allotment. Use this book to start your own journey with an urban
homestead lifestyle, with lots of generous tips, modern green
concepts as well as a twist of modern, technically savvy know-how.
All the practical guidance you need on how to be the change you
want to see.
A substantial retrospective on one of the world's most remarkable
and critically acclaimed art photographers. Separated into four
parts, Ballenesque takes readers on a visual, chronological journey
through Roger Ballen's entire oeuvre, including both iconic images
and previously unpublished photographs. Part I explores his
formative artistic influences and his later rediscovery of boyhood
through photography, culminating in his first published monograph,
Boyhood, in 1979. Part II then charts the period between 1980 and
2000, during which time his deeper search for the elemental self
found its way into the 'Dorps', or small towns, of South Africa and
concluding with the release of his seminal monograph Outland. Part
III covers the years 2000-2013, when Ballen achieved global
recogition with Shadow Chamber and Boarding House and his work
began to veer away from portraiture altogether. Finally, in Part
IV, Ballen reflects upon his career in its entirety. With over 300
photographs and an introduction by eminent academic Robert J. C.
Young, this book provides both an entirely new way of seeing
Ballen's work for those who already follow his career and a
comprehensive introduction for those encountering his photographs
for the first time.
