Perifert seende är förmågan att se saker utanför din direkta synlinje. Att lägga märke till och uppmärksamma det som inte nödvändigtvis är mest uppenbart är en gåva som fotograferna i den här boken delar. De speglar olika syn på och förhållningssätt till ett föränderligt Sverige och visar ett urval av samtida fotografi som pendlar mellan det dokumentära och det poetiska. Denna bok sammanför tjugo svenska fotografer, varav de flesta har etablerats under det senaste decenniet. Boken är producerad av Centrum för fotografi (CFF), med ambitionen att väcka och sprida intresse om svenskt fotografi samt att ytterligare nå ut till en svensk och en vidare internationell publik. Medverkande konstnärer: Ikram Abdulkadir, Karin Alfredsson, Elin Berge, Maja Daniels, Charlotta Hammar, Erik Holmstedt, Martina Hoogland Ivanow, Cia Kanthi, Heikki Kaski, Klara Källström & Thobias Fäldt, Mårten Lange, Inka & Niclas Lindergård, Eric Magassa, Martin Magntorn, Chris Maluszynski, Katarina Pirak Sikku, Mia Rogersdotter Gran, Sofia Runarsdotter, Johannes Samuelsson och Märta Thisner. CFF är en rikstäckande medlemsförening för fotografer och yrkesgrupper verksamma inom fotografi.

Cosmological Arrows / Kosmologiska Pilar was published on the occasion of the exhibition Cosmological Arrows at Bonniers Konsthall in Stockholm, 2019. Both the exhibition and the publication aim to be springboards for artistic ideas and visions that challenge our usual way of seeing the world, and perhaps suggest new approaches on how to understand it. These thoughts permeate the artworks and texts presented in Cosmological Arrows, where space and the science fiction genre are an imaginary laboratory that becomes the point of departure for discussions regarding the ethical, moral and existential dilemmas of our times. Published in collaboration with Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm, Sweden.

Notes On Protesting documents one of the artist Peter Liversidge's Proposals, which was first performed in 2013/14 in London and then re-performed at Bonniers Konsthall in Stockholm in 2019. The project is the result of a collaboration between the artist and students at schools in Stepney, London, and Farsta, Stockholm. Together they created a performance in the form of a protest rally. In various workshops, the children themselves had to decide what they wanted to express and what they might want to protest against. Together they created banners, posters and protest songs that convey their views on the world around them. Published in collaboration with Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm, Sweden.
