Hi-Noon Books – LCC – Nichigei

Launching this year at PhotoLondon, HI-NOON Books is a new publishing initiative that celebrates and explores the spirit of dialogue, discourse, and shared inquiry that characterises artistic communities around the world. 

Our inaugural publication, Found in Translation is a collaboration between the London College of Communication, UAL and Nihon University, Tokyo. Representing the culmination of a seven month creative exchange that launched at T3 Festival of Photography, Tokyo, the artists’ visual work is contextualised by new essays from writers Darian Leader, Peter Lewis, Lee Mackinnon and Sasha Portis.

Our motivation in setting up HI-NOON Books is to advocate for the transformative potential of artistic practice. Each new publication aims to foster connections, sustain creative communities, and generate new ways of seeing.

HI-NOON is an artist-led platform for curated photographic works in unique limited editions. Inspired by the culture of support and co-operation that thrives in artistic communities around the world, HI-NOON celebrates and sustains artistic practice through dynamically combining real world events – street poster campaigns, DJ sets, and exhibitions, with a distinct online presence.
