  For several years--and with seemingly limitless access--photographer Richard Ross made unsettling and thought-provoking pictures of architectural spaces that exert power over the individuals within them. From a Montessori preschool to churches, mosques and diverse civic spaces including a Swedish courtroom, the Iraqi National Assembly hall and the United Nations, the images in Architecture of Authority build to ever harsher manifestations of power: an interrogation room at Guantanamo, segregation cells at Abu Ghraib, and finally, a capital punishment death chamber.   Though visually cool, this work deals with hot-button issues--from the surveillance that increasingly intrudes on post-9/11 life to the abuse of power and the erosion of individual liberty. The connections among the various architectures are striking, as Ross points out: "The Santa Barbara Mission confessional and the LAPD robbery homicide interrogation rooms are the same intimate proportions. Both are made to solicit a confession in exchange for some form of redemption."   With an essay by Harper's Magazine publisher, John R. MacArthur   Published in 2007 by Aperture Press.

The eighty-five stunning color photographs in this book are a masterful exploration not only of the light falling on objects or filling spaces but of the very act of seeing. Whether he is photographing in a museum storage room in Washington, D.C., or a shrine in Myanmar, Richard Ross has an uncanny ability to distill the space and the moment, whether it is profane or sacred, into its essence. These photographs are deceptively simple in their subtle examination of the world as revealed in a single burst of light.   With texts by Dave Hickey and Eduardo Cadava. Published in 2001 by UNM Press.

The nearly 150 images in this book were made over 5 years of visiting more than 1,000 youth confined in more than 200 juvenile detention institutions in 31 states. These riveting photographs, accompanied by the life stories that these young people in custody shared with Ross, give voice to imprisoned children from families that have no resources in communities that have no power.   With essays by Ira Glass of National Public Radio's This American Life and Bart Lubow, Director of the Annie E. Casey Foundation's Juvenile Justice Strategy Group   Published in 2012 by Richard Ross   For bulk orders (more than six books) contact us.

In Ross's droll wiew, museums can be seen as modern temples of knowledge-- or old fashion cabinets of curiosities. With an introduction by Marcia Tucker and an essay by David Mellor Published in 1990 by Aperture Press

For countless people the answer is the bomb shelter in the basement. In fact, people around the world have been building shelters to protect themselves from man-made catastrophes for centuries. Waiting for the End of the World is photographer Richard Ross's journey into this quirky somewhat paranoid, and often hauntingly beautiful underground world. Ross has documented no only the bomb shelters of the United States, but also examples from Russia; England; China; Vietnam; and Switzerland, where every citizen is required by law to have a shelter. With an interview by Sarah Vowell. Published in 2004 by Princeton Architectural Press.
