Summary:
Valter Vinagre réunit dans cette publication un ensemble d’une cinquantaine de paysages photographiques réalisés dans tout le Portugal et liés aux épisodes de la guerre péninsulaire (1807-1814), qui opposa les troupes luso-britanniques à l’armée française de Napoléon lors de ses trois tentatives d’invasion du territoire portugais. Le photographe s’est transformé en historien, retrouvant dans les archives les lieux et les dates précises de l’avancée des armées napoléoniennes, informations qui lui ont servi de protocole pour poser son appareil là où était le lieu exact, à l’heure présupposée. Au lieu de se focaliser sur les symboles et les monuments historiques des invasions napoléoniennes, il s’attache à retracer une cartographie détaillée du territoire géographique et humain à partir des lieux qui furent les théâtres des batailles. Le livre s’ouvre sur une couverture mystérieuse, géographie des points visités tout autant qu’impacts meurtriers, pour inviter le lecteur à la découverte d’un Portugal secret qui suit la chronologie d’un autre temps.

Summary:
This catalog presents the works of artist Stefano Graziani on display at the Pescheria visual arts center in Pesaro. These works come from different lines of research, some from past years (architecture and museum collections), others more recent (mushrooms and athletes in training), and particularly interesting is the link, sometimes subtle other times more articulated and complex, that binds the images together, in a continuous game of evocations and correspondences. The volume includes a conversation by Stefano Graziani with exhibition curator Alessandro Dandini de Sylva.

Summary:
Shot in Dungeness, on the coast of England, this series by Berlin-based photographer Shinichiro Shiraishi is influenced by memories of his childhood visits to his grandparents’ home in the Japanese countryside. It also reflects a realisation that emerged from his time there: that natural and human-made are both part of the landscape and a part of nature. The duality of Dungeness is replicated by the book’s design – images shimmer, black pages balance white, adder stones puncture paper. To visualise the coexistence between natural and artificial objects, 90 photos have been subjected to analogue and digital processes, bringing us closer to the emotions of this peripheral place.

Summary:
Nombreuses dans la presse, les photographies qui traitent de la justice demeurent rares dans les livres d’artiste. C’est pourtant l’objet de cet ouvrage de Thomas Klotz qui confirme sa palette de coloriste pour visiter « sa » justice. Car c’est bien d’un travail d’appropriation et non d’une simple exposition d’un système qu’il s’agit. Loin de toute ambition documentaire, ces images puissantes et incarnées révèlent le cœur et l’âme du milieu judiciaire, bien plus que son fonctionnement ou ses coulisses. L’exploration de cette notion passe par des lieux, des institutions, mais également par des personnes et des récits, dans l’approche plastique qui définit la photographie de Klotz. On retrouve son travail sur la puissance des couleurs, l’attention portée aux textures et à ces détails qui ouvrent sur des récits et des fragments de vie, autant d’indices de ce que peut être la justice aujourd’hui.

This project is a journey through the major photographic series that Juan Baraja (Toledo, 1984) has carried out over the past ten years. This journey, which takes in personal projects of his own and assignments commissioned by institutions, also allows us to trace the continuing evolution of a creative artist whose work is tautened by his particular relationship with architecture and strengthened by a working method in which projects are deliberately kept open and under review for long periods, until the time comes to put them together.

Summary:
In the wake of the Second World War, aiming to occupy the children rampaging streets and parks, the City of Amsterdam founded Jongensland, a space where boys (and the occasional, officially disallowed girl) could play, build, create, and destroy, largely without supervision. Without adult intervention, they relied on shared resourcefulness and collaborative ingenuity. In 1969, when Ursula Schulz-Dornburg moved to Düsseldorf with her two young children, she discovered Jongensland the other side of the border from Germany’s strictly regulated playgrounds. Fas¬cinated by the improvised buildings where her children would play, she made extensive photographs capturing them being constructed, used, demolished, and reshaped. This book presents Schulz-Dornburg’s largely unseen series alongside an ex¬tended alongside an extended essay by architectural historian Tom Wilkinson reflecting on the architectural themes and lessons Jongensland continues to offer.

Summary:
A widely connected pioneer of Pop and mail art, Ray Johnson was described as ''New York’s most famous unknown artist.'' Best known for his dense, allusive collages, he stopped exhibiting in 1991, but his output did not diminish. Between 1992 and 1994, using 137 disposable cameras, he created a large body of work that is only now coming to light. Staging his artworks in settings near his home in Locust Valley, Long Island — parking lots, sidewalks, beaches, cemeteries — Johnson made photographs that make the world of everyday ''real life'' a part of his art. Within a few months, he devised a large new freestanding format for the simplified collages he began calling the ''movie stars'' of his camera tableaux. When he swam to his death at sea on 13 January 1995, Johnson left behind a vast archive that included over three thousand of the late photographs. What he called his ''new career as a photographer,'' which makes its debut in print here, marked the close of a romance with the camera that had spanned four decades of relentless invention.

Summary:
Although Hare experienced a significant, if fleeting, degree of professional success, including a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1977, an Aperture monograph, and three Guggenheim fellowships, his work has not received the critical attention it deserves and his extraordinary life story remains obscure. This lack of recognition has much to do with Hare's fanatical aversion to the commercial realms of the art world even at the height of his professional success. Perhaps his most overt declaration of aesthetic disavowal was his ultimate decision to renounce his identity as an artist in 1985 and pursue a career as a clinical therapist specializing in 'work abuse'. Hare would subsequently donate his entire archive to the Bancroft Library at the University of California with the provision that any reproduction of his work must include a caption that states that the photograph was created ''to protest and warn against the growing domination of working people by multinational corporations and their elite owners and managers.'' ''Quitting your day job'' considers the vexed relation between art and politics that defined Hare's career, drawing upon largely unexamined archival materials, new interviews and analyzing Hare's brilliant and moving photographs alongside the prolix and oftentimes bathetic prefaces he wrote for the three collections of his photographs.

Summary:
According to old pagan beliefs, Il Malocchio or ''the evil eye'' is a curse causing bad luck and misfortune. In his debut book ''Il Malocchio'', Italian photographer Andrea Simonato depicts the quiet villages of his home region of Vicenza in the Northern Italy as upon this curse of unluckiness causing decay and abandonment. On his walks through sleeping villages and their empty buildings, dark woods and resting groves, Simonato makes extraordinary findings in the seemingly common surroundings. The work echoes both longing and hope, creating a beautiful and poetic, yet mysterious ode to a place called home.
