Works continues on Fable of Industry. I’m thinking of another title: Creation Story. What say you? Too early to tell? The naming process seems to help me through the project.

Kominek Editions I

Kominek Gallery is pleased to present the inaugural edition of our new exhibition series, Kominek Editions.
As part of the exhibition this publication is featuring the work of all participating artists and will be available at the gallery throughout the exhibition, starting from 10 September 2026.

For the first edition, we launched an open call around the theme Golden Hour / Blue Hour, inviting photographers to explore the fleeting moments between day and night. The open call offered a wonderful opportunity to discover artists whose work was previously unknown to us. Their photographs will be presented alongside works by photographers represented by the gallery, including Viviane Sassen and Mike Brodie, Mark Mahaney or Bryan Schutmaat.

Bringing together the work of more than one hundred photographers, Kominek Editions I offers a unique opportunity to dive in to a wide variation of photographic approaches and perspectives within a single exhibition and publication.

265 x 210
176 pages

Edition of 300
Kominek Books, 2026

I find photo sequencing to be lyrical like poetry or a special section of prose. There’s always a connective thread between the images. Sometimes it may stretch very thin, but it should still be there, if only as a feeling.

Grace by Scott Offen (@offen1645)
-
A life shared
No love is ever lost, only set aside for the right moments
Lapses in memory filled in by the other, forgotten pieces fitting into place
A connection, as that of a gracile thread, held between souls
Occasionally it slackens pulled by the breeze but never does it severe
An unspoken bond
Trust beyond words
Words strengthen but a knowing gaze and a gentle touch heal all wounds
-
The longing for moments outside of the ordinary, not strange nor uncomfortable, but just enough to briefly shift aside the banality of the everyday
A shift into something unexpected
A space where eyes widen and pupils dilate, where breathing quickens and the heart slows
A heightened sense of feeling of something indescribable
Where the light is dappled and seems to cause furrows in the land
Where the shadows act as a second skin or blanket to comfort and cushion
-
Impressions left over from an embrace intended to give and not take
Memories of tender moments and of the struggle to meet in the middle
Words that soothe and those that cut deeper than any blade
The push and the pull and the giving of all of oneself over to another and every ounce of trust and willing that comes with it
The crescendos and the lulls
The aching and the exhilaration of just being within one another’s orbit
The exquisiteness of being loved and loving another
-
First edition

Photographers Cheryle St. Onge and Scott Offen join PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf to discuss their photobooks, Calling the Birds Home and Grace, both published by L'Artiere Editions. In this conversation, St. Onge and Offen generously share their deeply personal approaches to collaborating with and photographing people with whom they have profound emotional connections. St. Onge reflects on documenting her mother's experience with dementia, describing the work as an act of communication, care, and connection. Offen discusses his collaborative portrait project with his partner, Grace, exploring themes of co-authorship, gender, representation, and aging.
