Made by MENDO
About the booksWho will recognize a great book better than a bookstore? A bookstore run by graphic designers. Here’s why: at MENDO we get market feedback seven days a week, we are blessed to be surrounded by a bunch of talented, inspiring people – photographers, writers and publishers – and after being a bookstore for more than 15 years, we can easily say we know what book aficionados are looking for. Don’t you agree that initiating, creating and realizing jaw-dropping books now, only comes natural?
A MENDO publication is a well-designed book with visually stunning creative content, browsed by people to be amazed and inspired. The subject-matter is one of our pre-defined curated categories, fashion, photography, interior, sport, lifestyle, food and traveling. In general, a MENDO book is a piece of furniture in itself.

Michael Bailey-Gates: A Glint in the Kindling
In A Glint In The Kindling, photographs are made to affirm a coming reality. Transgressing against set gender roles, Photographer Michael Bailey-Gates imagines new ways of being within the confines of a gender binary. Michael Bailey-Gates will be at MENDO for a book signing on the 18th of September 2021.
Can't make it to the signing session?
You can purchase your copy of A Glint In Th Kindling on Saturday the 18th of September at the signing session. If you can’t make it to the signing session, shop your copy online before or on Friday the 17th and it will be signed for you. Signed copies will ship from Monday the 20th of September.
Many of the pictures feature the garage, basement, or studio of Bailey-Gates’ home, where inventive sets expose the frame of the image to include their construction. It is this transparency in the image-making that reflects the subjects within. The works invite us, not just to a world beyond, but to one which already shines through the cracks of this one.
Bailey-Gates’ photographs are joyous spaces of affirmation
The thirty-five images, presented almost entirely in black and white, feature a close circle of recurring collaborators and artists such as Bobbi Menuez, Hayden Dunham, Torraine Futurum, and King Princess, along with a foreword written by Cyrus Dunham.
While the work of Bailey-Gates can be found in publications such as Vogue, Dazed and Love Magazine, A Glint In The Kindling is the first opportunity to see Bailey-Gates’ unique approach to portraiture presented in a dedicated book. The book release coincides with a solo exhibition of the same name at The Ravestijn Gallery in Amsterdam, premiering at Unseen 2021.
A Glint in the Kindling speaks to the impossibility of seeing ourselves fully, and celebrates the perpetual dance of trying. Shop now at MENDO.
