hi-noon books

Hi-Noon Books is a new publishing initiative that celebrates and explores the spirit of dialogue, discourse, and shared inquiry that characterises artistic communities around the world. 

Our inaugural publication, Found in Translation is a collaboration between the London College of Communication, UAL and Nihon University, Tokyo. Representing the culmination of a seven month creative exchange that launched at T3 Festival of Photography, Tokyo, the artists’ visual work is contextualised by new essays from writers Darian Leader, Peter Lewis, Lee Mackinnon and Sasha Portis.

Our motivation in setting up Hi-Noon Books is to advocate for the transformative potential of artistic practice. Each new publication aims to foster connections, sustain creative communities, and generate new ways of seeing.

+ About the book

An institution is a hothouse and the university, which should be a cool place, is no exception.

It is both threatened and sustained by passions and moods, intrigues and power games.

Can photography be factual and capture a frame of mind?

The Academic Year is a book at the intersection of photography and literature, between artist Rut Blees Luxemburg and philosopher Alexander García Düttmann.
