For our third YouTube episode, Dylan Hausthor and Elle Pérez discuss Hausthor’s debut book, What the Rain Might Bring, alongside a selection of key works featured in the publication. Their conversation offers a casual yet thoughtful look at Hausthor’s artistic evolution and creative process.
In addition, Jalen and Miwa introduce two photobooks by legendary Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki: Midori and Kaori thought the looking class: photo-mad old man A 2015.5.25 75the birthday.

Dylan Hausthor:
Dylan Hausthor (b. 1993) is an interdisciplinary artist based on an island off the coast of Maine. Their work explores the intersections of storytelling, mythmaking, and the natural world through photography, video, writing, and installation. Hausthor received their BFA from the Maine College of Art and MFA from the Yale School of Art. They are a 2024 Guggenheim Fellow and have been recognized with numerous accolades, including the Nancy Graves Fellowship, a Light Work residency, and the Burn Magazine Emerging Photographer’s Fund. Their work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in the permanent collection of MoMA. In addition to their artistic practice, Hausthor teaches ghost hunting, ritual, photography, and mushroom foraging.

"What the Rain Might Bring”:
Inspired by David Arora’s mushroom guide, Dylan Hausthor’s What the Rain Might Bring is a haunting visual meditation on storytelling, folklore, and the queerness of nature. Through large-format black-and-white photographs, Hausthor captures a world where humans, animals, and landscapes blend in scenes of pagan ritual, mysticism, and quiet upheaval.
The imagery—owls, spiders, towering mushrooms, and spectral figures—suggests a fragile human presence overshadowed by the natural world. Central to Hausthor’s work is the tension between truth and fiction, with photography used as a tool for mythmaking, disinformation, and performance.
Structured around seven gatefolds marking nightly visits from a moth, the book becomes a ritual object—both intimate and enigmatic—inviting the viewer into a space where fact and fable dissolve.

We are very happy to share the zine-making practice by our good friend, Edan Wingfield. Edan started making zines for the last few years and he will talk about his work with his photographer friend, Jin Young Lee. They met at the BFA photography program at The New School. On this channel, we believe all kinds of photo books are important. There is no one "best" format. What matters is the story and the artist’s voice. So, we are very excited to learn from Edan today.
Miwa and Anh will also talk about one of her favorite books—Kid Nostalgia by Park Sung Jin.

Genesis Báez and Justine Kurland will discuss Báez’s debut book, Blue Sun, along with a selection of key works featured in the publication. Their conversation will offer a deeper understanding of Báez’s perspective on her work. Additionally, Anh and Miwa will introduce a Japanese photographer Masafumi Sanai’s Shashin no Taimo (Body Hair of Photography) to our audience, with a full book reviewavailable at https://note.com/miwa401/n/n90a07f080540.

Genesis Báez:
Genesis Báez is an artist living in Brooklyn, NY. Her debut monograph, "Blue Sun", was published with Capricious Publishing in 2025 as part of their photography award. "Blue Sun" spans a decade of photographic work made in Puerto Rico and its diaspora. Oscillating between geographies, these works are meditations on time and placemaking through images of matriarchal kinship, the elemental, and sensorial. Báez holds an MFA in photography from the Yale School of Art, and has exhibited internationally. Her works are found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Detroit Institute of Art, among others. Báez is from Massachusetts, where she also works as a professor of photography.
