Summary:
Despite his debilitating lifelong physical condition, Shigeo Gocho (1946–1983) left a legacy of three photographic collections and one volume of artwork, as well as contact prints, notebooks, and memo books. The re-evaluation of Gocho’s oeuvre began at the end of the 1980s and continues today. This not only concerns his personal story but also the fact that the allusions to various social phenomena and “edges” portrayed in his works deeply resonate with many people at the core of their being. This impressive overview features Gocho’s photographic series ‘Self and Others’ (1977), ‘Familiar Street Scenes (1981), and ‘Childhood’ (1983), alongside his spiritual and abstract artworks.

Summary:
Photographer Rinko Kawauchi (1972–), known for her expressive mastery of gentle color suffused with light, has revealed the mystery, radiance, frailty, and strength of life in all its forms since her earliest works. Her gaze falls equally on the fragile and delicate beings in her immediate vicinity, be they flora and fauna or family members, and the vast workings of the earth, such as volcanoes and glaciers formed over long eons. The unique sensibility underlying her photography reveals the connections between these subjects, which all shimmer with the same vital glow. This will be her first major exhibition in Japan in six years, showcasing the essence of Kawauchi’s oeuvre through work from the past decade combined with never-before-seen images from her archives. M/E, the main subject of this exhibition and inspiration for its title, is a new series Kawauchi began shooting in 2019. The letters stand for ''Mother'' and ''Earth,'' combining to form both ''Mother Earth'' and ''Me.'' At a glance, the series’ images of Iceland’s volcanoes and ice floes and Hokkaido’s snowy landscapes may seem distant and unrelated to the everyday scenes from the COVID-19 pandemic that accompany them in the series. However, both types of image depict events now taking place on the planet we live on, and Kawauchi’s artistry alerts us to the connection between them. This exhibition invites the viewer to reconsider a range of questions about the workings of human life and our relationship with nature. In this exhibition catalog, Kawauchi herself has composed a sequence that allows visitors to relive the three-dimensional exhibition space, from the core series of the exhibition such as the new ''M/E,'' the yet unpublished ''4%,'' and ''An interlinking'' with new images, to her latest video work. The exhibition also includes a conversation with Haruo Saji, who was an influence on Kawauchi’s practice, and three essays, of which one is written by Masatake Shinohara, exploring the current state of Kawauchi’s work through both imagery and text. By changing the format and paper for each series, despite its simple binding, the book becomes a multilayered volume that embodies the depth of the exhibition.

Summary:
Ari Marcopoulos is an Amsterdam-born photographer and filmmaker who often situates himself in the lives of people living on the edge. He shot this series during one February afternoon in Exarcheia, a neighbourhood in central Athens which is famously known as home to Greek anarchists. Through 352 colourful pictures of graffiti and crumbling concrete walls, a coherent urban portrait comes to light, as if Marcopoulos was scanning the area through his camera lens. The entire series remains unedited in the layout of the book, presenting an accurate reflection of a district that still preserves the memory of decades of resistance to state repression.

Summary:
Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition de l'artiste au Centre Pompidou, cet ouvrage présente des photographies inédites de l'époque où Cohen est passée de la gravure et de la sculpture à la photographie sous l'influence du minimalisme, du Pop Art et de l'art conceptuel. Figure internationale de la photographie, Lynne Cohen élabore des images vides de toute présence humaine : des espaces intérieurs - laboratoires, stations thermales, salles d'attente ou d'entraînement... - aux décors parfois kitsch et dans lesquels planent un certain mystère, une atmosphère inquiétante. Ses cadrages rigoureux, une certaine mise à distance et une lumière qui souligne matières et surfaces confèrent aux lieux qu'elle capture une apparence à la fois " surréelle " et factice. Par la neutralité de l'éclairage et l'absence de personnages, les intérieurs domestiques et lieux de travail évoquent un contrôle social qui s'exerce de manière diffuse. Fascinée par les techniques photographiques employées dans la publicité, les annonces immobilières, les catalogues de vente par correspondance ou encore celles des cartes postales, Lynne Cohen s'inscrit dans le sillon de l'art conceptuel des années 1970, celui des artistes pour qui l'art est un moyen d'analyse. Eclairage, profondeur de champ et composition rigoureuse, voire clinique, donnent à voir des univers clos qui sont autant d'enquêtes sur la configuration de l'espace social. Salles de classe, de restaurants, de sports, halls d'hôtels, bureaux, laboratoires, espaces domestiques ou dédiés aux spas, à la police... partout s'exercent les notions d'observation, de jeux et de contrôles du social. Ces vues frontales aux cadres imposants sont toujours à double fond : quelque chose, de dérisoire ou de grave, y semble camouflé.

Summary:
D’abord sanitaires, puis espaces d’apprentissage de la nage et lieux de compétition, avant de devenir des équipements de détente et de loisirs, les piscines franciliennes ont été profondément marquées depuis la seconde moitié du xixe siècle par les usages du public. Des pratiques sont nées une variété de formes architecturales, tantôt réduites à un simple bassin, parfois industrielles, et dans certains cas, originales. Jusqu’à aujourd’hui, la longue histoire des piscines en Île-de-France a montré comment l’inventivité des architectes a été mise au service de toutes les activités aquatiques. Cet ouvrage offre ainsi un regard inédit sur ces espaces du quotidien à travers une sélection de photographies réalisées depuis les années 1980 par l’Inventaire d’Île-de-France. Extraites d’un corpus de milliers d’images, elles donnent à voir sous un oeil poétique des objets, matérialisent la lumière qui inonde les bassins ou effacent les contours parfois rugueux des structures.
