Ghetto, Broomberg and Chanarin’s first collaboration with Trolley, was published ten years ago. It saw the then creative editors and principal photographers of Colors Magazine document 12 contemporary gated communities, from a maximum-security prison in South Africa to a psychiatric hospital in Cuba. Photographed entirely on large format colour negative, Ghetto took three years to produce and over time has became a popular classic within photo book history. It is now out of print.

Scarti di avviamento is the technical term for the paper that is fed through the printing press to clean the drums of ink between print runs. This by-product is usually destroyed once the book is printed. But in this case the scarti – Italian for scraps - were saved and safely stored away by publisher Gigi Giannuzzi. Following his untimely death in December 2012 this box was discovered. In these scraps the layering of the original images from Ghetto appear almost purposeful. The twice-printed sheets reveal uncanny and often beautiful combinations, both compositionally and contextually. In one the arm of a South African prisoner drops casually into the scene of young Tanzanian refugees perched in a tree, whilst in another an American octogenarian from ‘Leisure World’ retirement home sits almost perfectly atop the knee of a Kurdish lorry driver.

These scraps would normally have been swept up and discarded from the factory floor. But in this elegant little book they are elevated to original and fascinating works in their own right; a pure and beautiful accident in the world of bookmaking. Yet in truth they are nothing but a series of little accidents.

 

“Scarti with its improbable representations fits perfectly into the pessimistic vision of Broomberg & Chanarin on the power of photography to reflect reality.” Remi Coignet, Le Monde.

“Thanks to Gigi, who was inspired by those late night moments when the printing presses were churning out accidental juxtapositions, now we can appreciate the beauty, irony and humor of chance creations, too.” Jim Casper, Lensculture

Great sunscreen, but too pricey!
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love COOLA products. They are a good substitute for my favorite sunscreens by Bare Republic - which was discontinued. Unfortunately COOLA products are very pricey. For that reason, I must use other brands where it makes sense. Trader Joe's spray sunscreen works very well and is $5.99. Coppertone Water Babies works for water sports. I'm saving my $28 COOLA lotion sunscreen for when I need a non greasy odor-free sunscreen, for example when I spend time in the sun followed by lunch out or shopping.

Would recommend this sunblock!
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Loved this sunblock for my stay abroad in the Caribbean. Left no white cast, and barely had any sunblock smell. Felt like a lotion if anything, and best of all, I didn't get burned! Would recommend.

Great product for south Florida resident.
I LOVE this sunscreen so much! I have tried so many different sunscreens and they always leave me greasy and shiny in a few hours time. I live in south Florida and I know the importance of protecting my skin especially my face against the harsh sunlight. This sunscreen feels light and mousterizes my skin without leaving it greasy and oily. The light cucumber scent is absoluteltly lovely but in no way overpowering. It goes great under my makeup and doesn't have the sunscreen heavy feeling that I despise. It's a little pricey but I do plan on buying again when I run out. P.S my boyfriend also occasionally uses this moisturizer and he also enjoys it and says it feels like great quality stuff.

Organic face lotion and sunscreen in ONE!
I had been looking all over for an organic face lotion and sunscreen and was having a hard time. I tried several that left a white residue on my face and then I found this one. It has a nice, light, relatively thin consistently that absorbs very easily, without any residue or caking. I have tried both the unscented and the cucumber and I like both. I find the cucumber scent refreshing and not overwhelming- although I know others didn't like it. I think the 1.7 oz last about 3-4 months, which was awesome! And it is small enough to travel with on a plane! This is a fantastic product! I only wish it didn't cost so much!
