Summary:
Juan Hein has turned his fascination towards the realm of technology, mining the digital cloud instead of seeking clouds in the sky. He peers into a vast body of information and images, and captures and re-photographs what he finds most interesting. He chooses the motif, he enlarges it, crops it and digitally manipulates it.

Summary:
Juan Hein has turned his fascination towards the realm of technology, mining the digital cloud instead of seeking clouds in the sky. He peers into a vast body of information and images, and captures and re-photographs what he finds most interesting. He chooses the motif, he enlarges it, crops it and digitally manipulates it. This process stretches the final image into something in between an almost classical etching, with strong sculptural aspects, and a deliberately pixelated digital meta-reality. By doing this, Hein points to the very origin of the picture – historically, technically and conceptually. In the age of fake news, the book is asking one simple question; is what you see true or false? Is it beauty or horror, a paraphrase of an illusive Chinese proverb or a meta-reality created by the mastermind. Hopefully the answer will remain in flux just as fluid and transient as the clouds themselves.

Summary:
Over the past three decades, Gregory Crewdson has been fleshing out a portrait of middle America, an America gazing wide-eyed at the glimmers of a fading dream. His cinematographically staged photos have pieced together the fragments of a twilight world tinged with numbness. This book brings together three bodies of work made between 2012 and 2022: ''Cathedral of the Pines'' (2012–14), ''An Eclipse of Moths'' (2018–19) and '''Eveningside'' (2021–22). Envisaged as a trilogy, they provide unique insight into a decade of creation and offer a comprehensive view of the universe that has positioned Crewdson as one of the major figures of contemporary photography. This trilogy is introduced by Fireflies (1996), a pivotal series for grasping the intimate undercurrents in Crewdson’s work.

Summary:
Format Photographers launched in 1983. It was, uniquely, an agency run by women photographers, for women photographers. It closed in 2003. "From its beginning, the Format ethos and working practice were based on three key principles. The agency aimed to encourage its members to develop their creativity and careers, while remaining sensitive to the context in which their images were used and distributed. It portrayed people and issues that were under-represented in the mainstream media of the time. By photographing women and men in non-traditional roles, its members aimed to break down gender stereotypes, and changed the way women and other marginalised groups were seen."

Claude Nori, ami de Ghirri depuis 1973 jusqu’à sa disparition en 1992, a publié tous ses livres en France. Il dresse ici un portrait vivant, intime, libre et très émouvant de ce grand photographe à travers leurs voyages, leurs virées sur les petites routes de la plaine du Pô, leurs échanges sur la technique et les tirages, leurs discussions sur le cinéma néoréaliste, les grands courants et les ouvrages qui marquèrent la photographie. Composé en chapitres qui sont autant de petites anecdotes de moments partagés, le livre restitue l’ambiance de ces années de rupture et de renouveau permettant de comprendre la pensée et l’œuvre de Ghirri. Ce portrait à l’opposé de tous les poncifs théoriques révèle un Luigi Ghirri, drôle, émouvant qui semblait avoir trouvé «?un équilibre extraordinaire entre le mal-être de l’existence et le bien-être du regard?».

Summary:
Nearly 50 years after its inception, Italian photographer Fulvio Ventura’s "Sagacity" is finally seeing the light of day. Begun in 1975 and originally scheduled for publication in 1978 by Luigi Ghirri’s short-lived Punto e Virgola imprint, Ventura continued to amass his photographic archive organically for the next four decades as an open-ended project called "Sagacity, Sunstar and Salamandra" (a title copied from a portentous inscription discovered by chance on a brass plate in the window of a typesetter). This was Ventura’s living body of work, inspired by an evolving passion for esoteric philosophies, the mysteries of happenstance, the sound of jazz, and the literature of surrealism and mythology. The images in this volume, gathered over many years in various locations around Europe, are spontaneous yet full of intention, cryptic but playful, and often strikingly cinematic – an altogether cohesive and self-contained psychic world, bound by visible and invisible energies.
