The exhibition catalog ''Stralau'' takes the viewer on a voyage of discovery through the oeuvre of the Thun-based photographer Christian Helmle.

Summary:
his book is about a country that was once called Yugoslavia and was ruled by Josip Broz Tito. From the 1950's onwards, Tito spent his summers at Brijuni, a small archipelago along the west coast of the Istrian region of Croatia. This former summer residence embodies the beginning and the end of the Yugoslavian dream, in which Tito firmly believed. His private dwellings, which are still kept in order on a daily basis, are strictly forbidden to the public. Between 2001 and 2017, Dutch photographer Friso Keuris pictured the personnel and the interior of the Tribunal. In 2016, he was free to photograph the idyllic, utopian world of Brijuni. This book also shows images of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The UN court dealt with the war crimes committed during the civil war from 1991 to 2000.

Summary:
William Henry Fox Talbot, the English inventor of photography, created around 15,000 photographs in the nineteenth century, most of them attempts to produce compelling scientific documents or pictorial records of the world around him. However, among those that have survived are also prints in which an image has been obscured, obliterated or simply failed to register. Borrowing its intriguing title from a poem written by Talbot, this book features twenty-four of these prints, his most experimental photographs. Originally intended as test prints or creative exercises, all that remains on these shaped pieces of photographic paper are chemical stains or imprinted patterns or shapes.

Summary:
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903) is considered the father of landscape architecture in the United States for his creation of several renowned urban parks and park systems around the country. Whether in Central Park in New York, the Emerald Necklace in Boston, or the park systems of Chicago, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Rochester, and Louisville—trees are essential elements of all of Olmsted’s park designs. Through Stanley Greenberg’s stunning series of black and white photographs of the trees that date to the beginnings of these parks, this volume offers an intimate encounter with Olmsted, his motifs, and his heritage. Three essays by renowned experts on history, sociology, and landscape architecture complement the narrative and present an interdisciplinary vision of Olmsted’s achievement.

Summary:
This book documents a unique long-term project that Swiss photographers Françoise and Daniel Cartier have been pursuing since 1998. They have put together a vast collection of unfixed photographic papers, glass negatives, and films, mostly dating from 1880 to 1990. Samples of these are mounted and displayed, and, over the course of several exhibitions, exposed to light causing them to evolve towards color saturation. This publication features the entire test catalog that the Cartiers have put together to date, showing some nine hundred different papers and photosensitive supports. These facsimiles offer an almost real impression of their formats, colors, and materiality.

Summary:
Pour réaliser ce nouveau travail, Lionel Jusseret s'est immergé durant 6 mois dans le quotidien d'une maison de retraite. Il y rencontre une communauté invisible qui malgré elle, se retrouve en marge de la société. Ces hommes et ces femmes nés entre 1920 et 1945, appelés la génération silencieuse. Ayant traversé la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ils ont connu le manque et ont travaillé dur toute leur vie. Peu revendicatifs, ils sont décrits comme fatalistes et conventionnels. Cette vision généraliste et quelque peu réductrice ne rend que peu hommage à ces Mamy et Papy, dont l'univers en papier peint fleuri fait écho à lui seul à toute notre enfance, à nos mémoires affective et collective...

Summary:
''Utopia ending'' investigates the urban transformation of London since the 2012 Olympics, and includes photographs taken between 2014 to 2019. Through images and text, including three interviews and a final essay, the author compares the current finance-driven development of the city with the post-WWII expansion based on council houses: investments in social housing have been almost entirely eradicated and the new buildings are more financial assets for global investors, rather than homes for Londoners. Gianluca Calise is an Italian photographer specialized in long-term documentary projects. His research focuses on social issues and on themes related to identity, belonging and memory. 2019 Daylight Photo Award juror’s pick, finalist at Urban Photo Awards 2018 and Charta Dummy Award 2021, his works have been published and exhibited internationally.
