Mitski and photographer Ebru Yıldız have announced a new book of photography entitled King of All the Land: Mitski by Ebru Yıldız, which is set to ship in November. The collection features mostly unpublished photographs taken around the release of Mitski’s 2023 album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We.
“Ultimately, King of All the Land embodies authenticity, standing as a testament to collaboration and the pursuit of artistic truth,” said publisher Russell Joslin of Skeleton Key Press. “Each black-and-white image radiates freedom and rebellion, revealing the emotional depth of Mitski while prioritizing storytelling over superficial ideals. This collection invites viewers to reflect on the significance of artistic collaboration and genuine expression, challenging traditional representations of women in photography. Through Yıldız’s lens, viewers connect with Mitski’s striking openness and the transformative power of art, encouraging them to seek authenticity and connection in a world that often confines.”
The photographs in King of All the Land mark the fifth collaboration between Mitski and Yıldız and the first to be presented in full-length book form. Pre-order the book here.
