Summary:
Ilya Rabinovich is a Dutch-Moldovan photographer, internationally acclaimed for his unique photo projects. Rabinovich is based in Amsterdam, where he graduated from the Rijksakademie in 2000. In 2008 he travelled to his birthplace Chiinu in Moldova to photograph the exhibitions in its national museums.

This period of its history has become distorted or totally erased in the national museums. Each museum orchestrates its own ideal image of Moldova.

Summary:
«Au printemps 1967, avec le cachet de La Chinoise, je me suis offert un appareil photo : un Pentax et deux objectifs, un 50 et un 150 mm. Je n'avais pas d'autre ambition que celle de photographier mes proches, ceux que j'aimais. Ils faisaient des films et ça devient très vite une habitude que de me balader, sur les plateaux et à côté, avec mon Pentax en bandoulière.»

Summary:
This publication reveals objects, sites and spaces that are integral to America’s foundation, mythology or daily functioning, but which remain inaccessible or unknown to a public audience. To make the more than 60 large-format photographs often required protracted negotiations before Simon was granted access to the sites. When circumstances permitted, she photographed with a large-format camera and careful lighting, emphatically not following the tradition of the journalistic snapshot. An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar conveys the fascination that attends the exploration of forbidden territories.

Summary:
Friedlander’s nudes show every blemish, every contour that makes each body unique, while his flash often serves to counter this realism with a softening effect that often recedes the body’s shadow right up to its outline. With the publication of Friedlander’s nude portraits of Madonna (prints of which fetch huge sums), the series became among the photographer’s best known(...)

Summary:
Friedlander’s nudes show every blemish, every contour that makes each body unique, while his flash often serves to counter this realism with a softening effect that often recedes the body’s shadow right up to its outline. With the publication of Friedlander’s nude portraits of Madonna (prints of which fetch huge sums), the series became among the photographer’s best known work, and eventually saw publication in 1991, from Jonathan Cape. Lee Friedlander: The Nudes significantly expands on the Cape edition (itself long out of print), with a total of 84 nudes, plus a new layout and design by Katy Homans and new separations by Thomas Palmer.
