| Title: High on eBay Again |
| ISBN10-13: 1916168698 : 9781916168695 |
| Parisian artist Antwan Horfee reprises his 2017 "High on eBay" (Wrong Culture editions), with another investigation of the magic of the now ubiquitous shopping platform. Compiling found ceramics with a new body of his own ceramic works, Horfee honors the aesthetic of eBay and brings focus to what he notes is "the format of amateur pictures. " Fellow eBay fanatic Melchior Tersen offers thoughts via essay â a contextualizing of the culture of scrolling. Tersen's reflection touches on the charm of these amateur photographs and crude attempts to mark the "genuine" which are then mirrored by the framing Horfee brings to his documentation of new works within the book. "The fact that you watch so many of these pictures when you search for something that it becomes a style you are accustomed with,â says Horfee. Balancing his discoveries, inclusive of whimsical cookie jars and salt shakers, with the new works, Horfee reveals the intersection of internet culture, hobby and artistic practice which inform his output and worldview. With High on eBay Again, Horfee continues to build in a series of collection-based publications, each a stepping stone of autobiography as well as investigation of a distinct culture of ephemera. |

| Title: MENKO TOYS |
| By (author): Antwan Horfee |
| ISBN10-13: 1916168620 : 9781916168626 |
| Menko Toys celebrates both a collectable class of ephemera and reflects Parisian artist, Antwan Horfeeâ s anthropological mind. This book, a sequel and expanded view of Horfeeâ s collection of Menko cards, presents the material again as objects to interpret. Of course, each has a history. Peter Lyle writes in the first edition â Menko Boysâ (2019) that Menko are "talismanic throwing cards with striking art that now serves as documentation of the changes Japanese society underwent over the 20th-century." |

| Title: Voyage Voyage |
| ISBN10-13: 1916168663 : 9781916168664 |
| Voyage Voyage forms an essential portrait of travel and commerce in the height of consumerism. By the 1970s mass tourism was accessible for hundreds of thousands of people and with it came the promotional T-shirt â a perfect souvenir for an era of mass globetrotting. The book collects Parisian photographer Melchior Tersenâ s treasure trove of tourist T-shirts. The sheer volume of Tersenâ s miscellany, formed as it is by various types of souvenir shirt may reflect Tersenâ s obsession with mass consumerism but also, more importantly, gives us an insight into the artistâ s psyche â he writes that sleeping in a tourist T-shirt allows him to dream. |
