Since they were founded in 2001, Trolley Books has been highly regarded as
a maverick independent publisher of photography, reportage, contemporary
art and recently, literature. Trolley¿s founder Gigi Giannuzzi is a well-known
figure in the publishing and photographic industries for his original and
dynamic approach to photobook publishing as well as his dedication to support
important and underexposed stories. In a shock to the photography and
publishing worlds he was diagnosed with cancer last year and passed away on
Christmas Eve 2012.
Shortly before he died work began on TROLLEYOLOGY, to celebrate the
first ten years of the award-winning books and authors brought together by
Trolley. A chronological anthology of the best from each publication, with
behind the scenes and previously unseen material, personal photos, contact
sheets, letters and interviews with the photographers, writers and artists Trolley
has worked with over the last decade. It also features interviews with our
authors and artists and friends from the worlds of photography, art and publishing,
documenting the unique stories from each book and the importance
of our small but potent publishing house.
TROLLEYOLOGY will bring together many renowned contributors including
photographers Nan Goldin, Philip Jones Griffiths, Alex Majoli, Stanley
Greene, Paolo Pellegrin, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Chien Chi
Chang, Tom Stoddart, Nina Berman, Thomas Dworzak, Alixandra Fazzina,
Robin Maddock, Jamie Morgan, artists Paul Fryer, Sarah Lucas, Polly Morgan,
Mat Collishaw, and writers Iphgenia Baal, Julian Stallabrass, with an introduction
by cultural historian Barry Miles. The book contains a foreword by
Serpentine Gallery directors Julia Peyton-Jones and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
