Summary:
Mégantic est une parution qui inaugure la nouvelle série de livres photographiques publiés par VU, centre de diffusion et de production de la photographie. L'accident ferroviaire de Lac-Mégantic a incité le photographe montréalais Benoit Aquin à parcourir les lieux bordant le périmètre érigé aux pourtours du centre-ville, détruit par les multiples explosions de wagons remplis de pétrole brut. Mégantic présente une série de photographies qui constatent des blessures et relatent des événements vécus depuis le déraillement survenu dans la nuit du 6 juillet 2013 - des premiers dommages matériels aux efforts de nettoyage et de reconstruction, des deuils innommables jusqu'aux soulèvements populaires. Aquin prête ses images à la mobilisation des citoyens aux prises avec une situation dont les résolutions apparaissent encore loin dans l'horizon.

Summary:
Issues du Mouvement moderne, les villes de La Grande Motte (1974), Brasília (1960) et Chandigarh (1953) se caractérisent chacune par des architectures assez distinctes. Ces trois œuvres du patrimoine contemporain nous interpellent sur la place de l’homme dans la cité et la promesse d’une utopie. Lumière, espaces consacrés, liberté de mouvement permettent une disponibilité, pour rêver, être habité. L’interaction entre les photographies de Stéphane Herbert et la poésie de Carole Lenfant invite à une promenade urbaine ponctuée par les jeux d’ombre et la densité des couleurs. Accord architectural, temporalité des corps, le voyage commence autour des pyramides de Jean Balladur, passe par les coupoles d’Oscar Niemeyer puis se termine sur l’esplanade du Capitole de Le Corbusier. Des plages de la Méditerranée à la nouvelle civilisation qu’est le Brésil jusqu’à l’Inde immémoriale : invitation à méditer sur trois villes anticonformistes et oniriques, trois villes ouvertes et universelles.

Summary:
Nobuyoshi Araki constructs a darkly phantasmagorical realm of flowers, plastic dolls, toy animal figurines, and more in this series of 75 black-and-white photographs. Brimming with his recognisable motifs and erotic symbolism, the carefully arranged still-lifes are interspersed with portraits of people like Umezu Kazuo, Setouchi Jakucho, Lady Gaga, and Araki’s muse, Kaori. With bizarre tableaus that mix anthropomorphic imagery with themes like sex, aging, death, and primal appetites, Araki plunges us into the midst of a tangible dementia.

Summary:
In retracing the Viaggio photographic archive in Italy, a collection of 220 photographs from a 1984 project organised by pioneering contemporary photographer Luigi Ghirri, Nicola Nunziata presents a multi-layered book that considers the notion of landscape. Rereading the original images in terms of individual and shared experience, memory, and aesthetics, he investigates their substance formats, materials, surface textures, colours, marks and traces, signatures of the authors in order to divulge the singular details that express the history they hold, and thereby reflect upon the sense of transformation on a global scale in the period when they came into being.
