After You Left/They Took It Apart | Chris Mottalini (USA) | By Emma Harrison

In 2007 just days prior to their demolition, photographer Chris Mottalini captured images inside Paul Rudolph-designed buildings across America. What started out as a homage to the American architect is now all that remains of the destroyed modernist homes, striking in their humble simplicity and architectural beauty.

Sat deserted, forgotten about and only illuminated by the slanting glimpses of sunlight that beam through broken and dusty windows, After You Left/They Took It Apart, documents the tragic disregard for mid-century architecture and acts as a uneasy memoir of Rudolph's work. Despite the desolate nature of the images, the photo series explores the faded opulance of the once celebrated homes and in their final portrait, Mottalini captures a timeless elegance that transcends architectural trends and flavours.

Foster Huntington | Home Is Where You Park It | (US) | By Lee Fleming

One of the most recent publications to be added to the IDMC° bookcase is Home Is Where You Park It, a photographic exploration from photographer and nomad Foster Huntington. After the first 2000 copies sold out immediately and proved immensely popular, Huntington released a much anticipated second edition of his photo series.

In 2011, Foster Huntington left his dream job designing for Ralph Lauren, packed up and drove out of New York City in a VW Vanagon in order to travel around North America. With eighty thousand miles on his camper, Huntington lives a self-contained and spontaneous life, covered in detail on his popular daily blog A Restless Transplant, a journal that documents fellow travellers and their campers of all shapes and sizes.

Under the #vanlife hashtag, Huntington uploads his shots to Instagram and gives a personal insight into the campers, people and stories that inspire him on a daily basis. Before long #vanlife grew into a photography project, funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, that highlights his favourite camper vans, pickup trucks and the unpredictable delights of life. Designed by New York-based Doubleday & Cartwright, who are also responsible for the Victory Journal, Home Is Where You Park It is a 125-page photography book dedicated to life on the road, steeped in the ‘keep on Trucking’ nostalgia of the 1970s.
