Really happy to announce the US Launch of “Genesis” my new monograph published by @guesteditions at @dashwood_books on Wednesday, December 4th from 6 to 8pm I will be there signing, I really hope to see all my NYC friends. Dashwood Books 33 Bond Street New York NY 10012 212.387.8520 info@dashwoodbooks.com ————————————————— This body of work, completed over five years, stems from numerous trips to the Guatemalan Highlands, where I sought to understand this remarkable region. “Genesis” is the book that nearly didn’t come to fruition—the project I doubted I would ever finish due to the complexity of editing and sequencing such a diverse array of images. In this monograph, I delve deeply into Guatemala’s ever-changing landscape, uncovering a multifaceted reality, reimagined beauty, and the potential dawn of a new era. The final product is a 320-page archive featuring over 250 images, an insightful essay by my friend @eljulio_se , and a compelling conversation with the wonderful @gemfletcher . The book is beautifully designed and published by @guesteditions , to whom I am extremely grateful for the opportunity and creative freedom. This book is a dream come true.

Announcing the limited edition 2025 calendar by Laura Pannack @laurapannack. Including 4 cover colours and 12 A4 tear-off calendar pages, each with a different image on a 175 silk. Now available to order online with limited availability and only £20. All images by @laurapannack Designed by @alicehchia Printed by @taylor_brothers

Thanks to everyone who came to the launch and exhibition of Genesis last Thursday. Very happy to say that the book is now officially released ✨. A big thanks to Tom @breadandbutterstudio for doing such a beautiful job producing the prints, and to @hackneydownsstudios for the gallery space. Following this signing event we can now ship all orders of the special print editions and any new orders will go straight out. News of an exciting US event will be coming very soon 👀

Five years ago today we launched my series Blue Above, collaborating with Thomas on the first book to be published under the imprint @guesteditions. This was a turning point for us both. For me, it was the first time making work where I let the process guide the outcome. Working with improvised movement to express a feeling and tell a story through performance. It was also the first time that I used moving image, bringing my stills to life and challenging how I make work to step into a new mindset of being in the moment, it felt very freeing. Since 2019, @guesteditions led by my partner @thomas.coombes has grown beyond his design studio to run as a book shop, publishing imprint, gallery space and online store. We've collaborated with so many inspirational artists and love the supportive community we find ourselves in. Taking time this morning to reflect on what we have grown over the past five years alongside our photo and design work 🥲 Thanks to everyone that has supported us on this journey! Tonight we launch @juan_brenner's monograph Genesis and celebrate five years of @guesteditions.

For the past five years, Juan Brenner has explored the complex, evolving identity of the Guatemalan Highlands. His work captures the collision of colonial history with the vibrant energy of the local youth, documenting a “process of becoming” where ancient traditions meet global narratives in a dynamic cultural transformation. His Book “Genesis” is available for pre-sale at Guest Editions. @juan_brenner @guesteditions @pictorique

In his new photo book, Genesis, Guatemalan photographer Juan Brenner @juan_brenner explores the people of the Highlands, the evolving culture, and the connection to the land. Genesis is a complex narrative that includes an observation of the outsider who lived in New York and worked in the fashion industry for ten years, as well as the perspective of an insider, a Guatemalan, and his return to his homeland. The concept of belonging and self-identification becomes an intrinsic part of the narrative that is woven through the chapters of the book.
