Depuis le début de mon travail, je construis, avec des images, des mondes. Ces mondes existent mais on ne les voit pas, on ne les connaît pas, ils n'arrivent pas à agir. Ainsi, en traversant des territoires, je figure des corps, des architectures ou des hommes, et j'habite des lieux où je peux représenter ces mondes.

Summary:
Depuis le début de mon travail, je construis, avec des images, des mondes. Ces mondes existent mais on ne les voit pas, on ne les connaît pas, ils n'arrivent pas à agir. Ainsi, en traversant des territoires, je figure des corps, des architectures ou des hommes, et j'habite des lieux où je peux représenter ces mondes. Ces éléments photographiés sont là pour toucher un niveau universel, dans lequel chacun puisse se projeter. Les localisations ne sont jamais explicitement indiquées dans mon travail, depuis aujourd'hui vingt ans. Ici, si certaines des images sont réalisées dans un lieu " d'actualité ", elles ne le sont pas uniquement en " territoire palestinien " car elles ouvrent sur une problématique plus large. Je ne veux pas qu'elles perdent leur connexion avec " notre actualité ". J'aimerais que les gens soient baignés de ces images sans les avoir vraiment analysées ou localisées, après avoir vu ces photographies. C'est ce " bain " que je travaille : je cherche, au moyen des images, à baigner le corps de l'autre. Ce montage d'images, choisies pour leur vibration, peut imprégner le spectateur d'un univers particulier et agir sur lui. Mon intention est aussi de dessiner un pays qui déborde d'existence malgré les clichés médiatiques, et de faire entrevoir une utopie qui deviendra réalité.

Sous son regard, la ville aimée se balafre et se meurt. Les combats cessent enfin, les ravages sont immenses. Beyrouth telle qu'il l'a connue a disparu.

Summary:
Through such memorable images as a wooden shanty dominated by massive real estate billboards overhead, Swiss photographer Leo Fabrizio articulates the dilemma of contemporary Thailand as "native old" meets "global new."

Summary:
During the late 1920s and 1930s, as photography was establishing a firmer monopoly on the visual documentation of the built landscape, architectural photographer Samuel H. Gottscho created a now-classic portrait of New York City as the quintessential modern metropolis. Silhouetting Manhattan's new skyscrapers, celebrated buildings--such as the American Radiator Building and Rockefeller Center--and signature skyline with a vision uniquely his own, Gottscho carefully embraced the tenuous line between the documentary and the artistic in photography and shaped a New York City through his lens that was distinctly Gottscho, yet unquestionably New York City.

Summary:
Over the course of three years, from 2006 to 2009, James Welling (born 1951) photographed the Glass House, the architectural landmark estate that Philip Johnson built in New Canaan, Connecticut, in 1949. Welling's photos offer a decided departure from the familiar views of the house and grounds: using digital cameras set on a tripod and holding a variety of filters in front of the lens, he created tinted veils and distortions that transformed the image at the moment of exposure, endowing it with swells of glowing color. As Welling described it in an interview with Artforum, the use of filters enabled his project to become "a laboratory for ideas about transparency, reflectivity and color." The 45 images presented here, which invite the viewer to draw associations between the camera's lens and the glass surfaces of the house itself, oscillate before our very eyes between photographic abstraction - a recurrent preoccupation for Welling - and depictions of architecture. With this body of work, Welling has located a wholly new approach to, and blend of, both genres.

Summary:
Robert Rauschenberg's engagement with photography began in the late 1940s under the tutelage of Hazel Larsen Archer at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. This exposure (or experience) was so great that for a time Rauschenberg was unsure whether to pursue painting or photography as a career. Instead, he chose both, and found ways to fold photography into his Combines, maintained a practice of photographing friends and family, documented the evolution of artworks and occasionally dramatized them by inserting himself into the picture frame. This volume gathers and surveys for the first time Rauschenberg's numerous uses of photography. This publication includes portraits of friends such as Cy Twombly, Jasper Johns, Merce Cunningham and John Cage, studio shots, photographs used in the Combines and Silkscreen paintings, photographs of lost artworks and works in process. This allows us to re-imagine almost the entirety of the artist's output in light of his always inventive uses of photography, while also supplying previously unseen glimpses into his social milieu of the 1950s and early 60s.

Summary:
In 1930, Moholy-Nagy published 60 Fotos, an almost pedagogic visual treatise in which he performed virtuoso turns on all kinds of photographic possibilities, from camara-less pictures and photograms--for which he squirted oil into developer and squeezed oil between sheets of glass during exposure (among other techniques)--to photomontage, as well as more conventional photographs. 60 Fotos proposed photography as both a medium with intrinsic material properties to explore and as an instrument capable of surpassing the human eye in its recording of the world. This classic treatise features some of the Bauhaus teacher's finest examples of photograms, negative prints and photomontage; Errata's spread-by-spread reproduction of the volume also includes a contemporary essay by noted photo-historian David Evans.
