Though known mostly for his films, the German-Hungarian photographer Andorvon Barsy's (1899 - 1965) began in 1930 to take dynamic photos of the harbors of Rotterdam, aiming his camera at cranes and bridges to capture a dynamic image of modern steel construction. This groundbreaking exhibition catalog commemorates the first public showing ever of these vital, almost-abstract photos from the eye of an early modern artist. Von Barsy's best-known movies (such as 1928's De stad die nooit rust and 1930's experimental Hoogstraat) are featured at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2011. The impeccably printed catalog includesaround 100 photographs, with an introduction by art historian and critic Frits Gierstberg, head of exhibitions at the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam.

Summary:
An extensive monograph on Stephane Couturier, who is undeniably one of the most important French contemporary photographers, an influential presence on the international exhibition scene since the mid-1990s with his large-format, brilliantly elaborated photographic tableaux. His architecture photographs - inspired in particular by the aesthetics of Le Corbusier - and his cityscapes are the result of a special image construction that uses the media properties and possibilities of photography and film to create transitory states between documentation and fiction. Couturier asks engrossing questions about the nature of modernity. Images selected from series including Brasilia, Barcelone, Couvent La Tourette and La Havane.

Working with ideas of place and the imaginary, three Canadian francophone artists create works that portray ephemeral places that exist only in the imagination. Isabelle Hayeur's photographs are manipulated to include fictional elements, using lies to tell the truth about gentrification, complicating perceptions of an iconic place.

Isabelle Hayeur's photographs are manipulated to include fictional elements, using lies to tell the truth about gentrification, complicating perceptions of an iconic place. Marie-Josee Laframboise transforms site-specific installations made of undulating iridescent netting into imaginary landscapes. Meditating on the temporal character of a site, Lise Beaudry photographs the surfaces of frozen lakes as white abstractions. The accompanying essay explores the viewer's experience of ethereal and ambiguous environments predicated on no place.

Summary:
Michael Wolf is best known for his large-size architectural shots from Hong Kong and Chicago. Actually the series “Architecture of Density” and “The Transplant City” are part of a constantly growing oeuvre which deals with the conditions of the modern urban life under the title “Life in Cities”. With his recently published book “Tokyo Compression”, which shows depressing impressions from the subway system in Tokyo, the photographer raises the question: In how far may, should or must photographers deal with the public today? Michael Wolf takes up this topic in his work “Street View”, which has been started at the same time as “Tokyo Compression”, and reinterprets the genre of the street photography in a highly unconventional way by using the almost inexhaustible picture pool of the Google Tool as basic material for his own images. With the camera in front of the screen he gets “his” images out of the automatically generated, authorless Google screens. Extreme details and geographical fade-ins of the software, which usually should serve the orientation, induce photographs which have an irritating as well as alarming effect like the underground portraits from Tokyo.

Summary:
Whoever reads this book probably has to do a double take to each of the pictures. Even though, their beauty and appeal is obvious; their subject matter is not. Upon taking a closer look, it becomes clear that what is shown on these intricate black-and-white pictures are in fact dead organisms. From moths to flies to other unrecognizable creatures.

Swarm is a breathtaking photographic series exploring the flock movements of migrating birds.

The photographs offer a unique view of the beauty but also the complexity and diversity of shape variations. A swarm sitting on the ground mirrors the surface of the earth like a skin, but as soon as it lifts up it becomes a fluid three-dimensional system in constant flux. This aerial ballet reveals a rhythm of upward explosion and downward, cascading movement. At times the forms seem to explode, blooming like flowers or expanding outward like fireworks. At other times they appear more stable, slowly drifting like a negative image of stellar constellations. Swarm looks up into the sky and follows flight through the dynamic landscape of streams of air. With contributions by Peter Pfrunder, Gordon H. Orians, Deborah M. Gordon, and Wallace Stevens

Summary:
Klaus Merkel has been photographing stones, rocky landscapes and trees for over thirty years, which he pairs up in double pictures. He portrays the astounding harmony between the animate and the inanimate, between natural and designed manifestations. Fascinating affinities become visible when he shows the limestone blocks of the Great Pyramid of Giza alongside basalt cliffs in Northern Ireland, and the cultivated lime-tree walkway of a castle grounds next to the nave of a cathedral. As the forest of figures and pinnacles of Milan Cathedral is placed next to the sandstone columns of Bryce Canyon, fascinating connections between natural form and art emerge. The book thus invites the reader to examine and compare the multiple similarities of the surfaces' structures of natural as well as artificial objects.
