This is the first book of Sternfeld's largely unseen early colour photographs. In 1969 Sternfeld began working with a 35 mm camera and Kodachrome film, and First Pictures contains works from this time until 1980. Here Sternfeld develops traits that appear in his mature work: irony, a politicised view of America and concern for the social condition.

Summary:
"What do you know about water? Only that it's everywhere differently." In 2000 Roni Horn published Another Water, an examination of the water of the River Thames through extensively footnoted photographs. This new edition of Another Water includes a new edit of the photographic aspect of the work. Water is a central theme for Horn: as a component of weather, a defining feature of her beloved Iceland, and as a beautiful, changeable element on which life depends. Another Water is an ode to the substance of water but also to its impact on identity and imagination: in Horn's words, "You can't talk about water without talking about oneself."

For many years respected gallerists Peter MacGill, Rudolf Kicken and Edwynn Houk have been collecting Aleksandr Rodchenko's photographs. This book is a curated selection of these images, mostly reproduced at their original sizes. The hallmarks of Rodchenko's inimitable Constructivist-influenced vision are here to see, regardless of whether he is photographing people, architecture or machinery: bold diagonals, abstract shapes and moving objects cutting through space.

Summary:
Darkroom charts the physical and psychic terrain of photographic printing rooms while conveying their transition from the realm of pure functionality into historical artifact. Indirect portraits of both producer and product, Bartos' work explores the physical space linking artist to artwork and linking the tools of the medium to the signs of their use. As more darkrooms switch to digital printing or close shop altogether, we become more aware that the tangible elements of darkroom printing may one day be lost. Bartos' recent large-format work documents and explores in equal measure the visual language and ethos of that analogue printing culture before it slips beyond our experience forever. The acrid odour of chemistry, an uncanny stillness hanging in damp air - Bartos records the descriptive aspects and spatial constraints of the darkroom but also visualizes the lab as a site of limitless creative potential, invested with as much aura as a photographic print. Heroic and humbling at the same time, these portraits speak to the individuality of the workspaces and their inhabitants but also to the shared architecture of all darkrooms. Bartos presents us with the perceptual tools to know the darkroom as it is today and to remember it one day as it will have been.

Summary:
Né en 1964 à Munich, Thomas Demand occupe une place tout à fait à part dans la photographie allemande. D´abord sculpteur travaillant sur le papier, il a appris la photographie pour enregistrer ses créations éphémères, avant que l´appareil photographique ne vienne occuper la place centrale de son processus créatif. Avec minutie, il crée devant l´objectif des maquettes de papier évoquant les architectures du XXe siècle. Cet ouvrage, réalisé à l´occasion de l´exposition Thomas Demand organisée par la Fondation Cartier en novembre 2000, rassemble ses créations réalisées entre 1994 et 2000. Les maquettes patiemment reconstruites dans l´atelier puis capturées par l´objectif constituent une réflexion inédite sur le statut de l´image et du simulacre.

Summary:
À la fin de l’année 1975, installée depuis peu à Paris, Jane Evelyn Atwood réalise son premier reportage photo, en noir et blanc, dans une écriture à la fois simple, efficace et sensible. D’une rencontre avec une prostituée de la rue des Lombards, elle découvre un univers où tout la fascine : personnages extraordinaires, costumes incroyables, regards portés sur les hommes… L’entrée de l’immeuble est miteuse, les murs crasseux, le sol couvert de mégots, une odeur de pisse envahissante, mais l’envie de mieux connaître ces femmes convaincra Jane Evelyn Atwood de partager leur vie. Plus de trente ans après, les éditions Xavier Barral réunissent pour la première fois l’ensemble de ce travail peu connu de Jane Evelyn Atwood. Un bel hommage à ces femmes, à leur générosité, et à ce Paris la nuit de la fin des années 1970.

Summary:
Dan Graham, one of North America’s most important contemporary artists, is best known today for his sculptural works and installations. His photographic works are generally not so well known, despite the fact that he first became famous for his photographic series Homes for America, pictures of typical American suburbia. To this day the theme of architecture and its surfaces in the context of postmodern everyday culture represents an extremely important facet of his work. This publication presents new photographs by Dan Graham together with original photographs from the Homes for America series. The new images exhibit stark similarities to the old pictures, as they were taken in the same locations, the same deserts of suburban streets and housing that Graham photographed in the sixties. Creating a fascinating, multilayered reference system of repetitions and differences, both spatially as well as temporally, it raises questions about architecture and public space and their function in society.
