Building for a Typhoon
Published by acb press 2023
Designed by Rohan Hutchinson
Edition of 140
Building for a typhoon is the sequel to Rohan Hutchinson's
celebrated and out-of-print first publication, 'A brief stroll whilst
inspecting architecture.' The Photographic works, created with support by
iconic European camera company Arca Swiss, were captured before and after a
typhoon that shut Tokyo down in 2019. They document architectural structures
and their standing amidst weather variance.
The interest in the body of work lies in how a city's architectural
infrastructure presents cultural, economic, and geographic contrasts. The
publication's design embraces these contrasts, shifting the historic and modern
spaces into an engaging contempoprary book setting that focuses on the layering
of space and materials within a metropolis and its representation in
publication format.
This sequel is limited to 140 copies produced; each copy comes with a
collectible metallic print, signed and numbered. Publication comes encased
between two plastic sheets, that serve as a frame for the metallic print.
Ordonez Ordonez, On Trial
Published by acb press 2022
Design + Curatorial direction by Rohan Hutchinson
Edition of 200
Although
only residing in the USA for a short period, Toronto-based Chilean Photographer
Cristian Ordóñez has spent a large-period of the previous decade revisiting the
lower states creating works that explore the notion of memory, personal
relationship, and encounters with the territory.
On Trial
observes and plays witness to these encounters, a body of work that presents
the social, economic, and geographic survey of the landscape traveled by
Ordóñez. A survey, engaging with all things natural and foreign on even ground,
seeking to question not only the observer but the role of the object within the
frame.
On Trial
contains a selection of 20 photographs edited by Rohan Hutchinson, and
accompanied with text by Ordóñez. Designed to co-exist with previous and
forthcoming published works, the body and cover of the publication exist in the
same form, contextualising the in-transit approach of the photographic content,
along with the journey of its publishing.

Leal Pearce, A Field Guide to Seeing New Land
Published by acb press 2021
Designed by Rohan Hutchinson
Edition of 150
The Arctic, the Southern Andes and the South Pole are
widely recognised for the effects that climate crisis has had on the landscape.
With society becoming more conscious of the impact of climate collapse, large
numbers of photo-tourists now flock to these destinations. For an extended
period, these locations have been dramatically shaped by the effects of the
Anthropocene. It is only more recently that there has been an increase in the
traffic to capture a landscape that is rapidly and unnaturally changing.
A Field Guide to Seeing New Land attempts to observe what compels the
enthusiast photographer to travel to places in traumatic change and how photo-tourists
are instructed to take photographs of their temporary surroundings.
The publication includes an instructional concertina field guide; this mimics
Leal's work and references standard photographic guides of the 1970s.
