The Mental Image is the latest book by Stephen Shore, one of the most influential photographers, writers, and teachers working today. Here, Shore turns to the inner life of images: how photographs are imagined, sensed, and carried in the body. The sequel to his global bestseller The Nature of Photographs (2013), this richly illustrated volume brings together numerous anecdotes, influences, references, and teachings to show how visualisation, attention, and embodiment can fundamentally alter how we perceive the world around us. Both practical and philosophical, The Mental Image offers a luminous and disciplined approach to seeing, for photographers, artists, and anyone drawn to a deeper understanding of perception.

This September, join us at 101 Spring Street, the home of Judd Foundation in New York, for a weekend of talks and signings to celebrate our new season of books across art, photography, literature and design.
Over the weekend, MACK will welcome 25 artists, writers, curators and editors to speak about their relationship to book-making and to reflect on the contemporary landscape of publishing, photography and arts writing. From discussions with Jerry Hsu, Irina Rozovsky and Nick Haymes about their ambitious new photobooks to an hour of readings dedicated to Lebanese poet and artist Etel Adnan, the programme is a chance to engage with recent MACK titles through live conversation and communion.
N.B. All events are free and open to the public, though advance registration is encouraged. Please note priority will be given to those who have registered in advance, though advance registration does not guarantee admission once the event reaches capacity. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment.
