'Love Letters' is a selection of 46 envelopes for the letters that Dutch graphic designer Karel
Martens sent to his love, Lous, between 1962 and 1963. The envelopes were all manually crafted
using printing ink and a spoon to create the pattern. They were printed during his military service,
when he was stationed in the drawing room of the Welfare Service at the Prins Hendrik Barracks.
Among other things, there he was tasked with designing a poster titled "Don't croak about military
service matters, the enemy is listening".

The Images of Luis Barragan
ROMA Publications 2024 ISBN 9789464460711 Acqn 36345
Pb 21x28cm 80pp col ills £26.50
This book presents a selection of the images collected by Mexican architect Luis Barragan (1902-
1988) as part of a reference archive that he displayed on a lectern in the living room of his home.
In an ever-changing arrangement of pictures, Barragan's thinking was made visual. Because it
was a personal archive from which the architect simply added or removed images over time, the
170 currently registered pictures are all that can provide us today with a kaleidoscopic insight into
Barragan's mind, itself a myriad network of personal relationships, professional influences, and
formal obsessions. The publication is the manifestation of a project by Roger Willems and Mark
Manders.

Matthew Harvey - Future Estate
ROMA Publications 2024 ISBN 9789464460681 Acqn 36260
Hb 24x17cm 208pp col ills £42.25
Matthew Harvey's 'Future Estate' is a long-term artistic research project documenting the spatial
and organisational processes of commodity production, the geopolitics of development, and the
zoning practices, extractions, and transnational investments that shape the material and social
environments of the precarious present. Drawn to disorganised, peripheral, and contingent
contexts, Harvey attempts to navigate a possible set of coordinates to follow the flow of
production networks and infrastructural throughlines. As the uneven processes of global labour
and distribution play out, his photographs move between subtle and transcendental moments.
