Summary:
'Karl Blossfeldt: Variations' examines the reception of Blossfeldt’s work. Drawing on unpublished materials, it analyzes the photographs’ replication in teaching materials, pattern books and art books, and also in the pages of the illustrated press. The six chapters of the richly illustrated study trace the paths Blossfeldt’s legendary plant motifs described as specimens, illustrations, patterns, analogues, models and abstractions from 1890 to 1945. Thematic excursions into the present, illustrating the rediscovery of Blossfeldt’s motifs in design and architecture over the past twenty years, offer a contemporary perspective on the famous German photographer.

Summary:
''Anywhere, California'' is another close look by Rudy VanderLans into the cultural landscape of his favorite subject, the Golden State. Whether it’s the garage where Apple started in Los Altos, or the former location where the Manson Family lived in Chatsworth, or an anonymous abandoned storefront in Calexico, VanderLans finds beauty in the unlikeliest of locations. Yet he rarely divulges the why or what of his photographs. Instead he stresses that things aren’t always what they appear to be, leaving much to the imagination of the reader.

Still beautiful
$105.00
(available to order)
Summary:
David Grandorge’s work is a type of Reconnaissance. In his photographs of cities, architecture appears as part of a network of reciprocal situations. His landscapes evoke a sense of balanced disequilibrium, of great energy and stillness. Natural and man-made aspects of reality seem to occur simultaneously, almost casually, as if discovered by the photographer in a state(...)

Summary:
David Grandorge’s work is a type of Reconnaissance. In his photographs of cities, architecture appears as part of a network of reciprocal situations. His landscapes evoke a sense of balanced disequilibrium, of great energy and stillness. Natural and man-made aspects of reality seem to occur simultaneously, almost casually, as if discovered by the photographer in a state of unselfconscious innocence. This appearance of innocence is beguiling. On reflection, the charm, beauty and stillness of the photographs reveal the complexity and depth of the entanglements of humankind and the world. Comprising essays by Paul Shepheard and David Grandorge, and an interview between the photographer and David Campany, ''Still beautiful'' is a timely and poignant document. David Grandorge’s Arctic photographs, taken in 2007, are a form of witness to what is now a lost world. In 2017 he recorded the effects of mass migration – of global politics – upon the water levels of The Dead Sea. Still Beautiful is an acclamation of wonder: of both the beauty of the world, and of capacity of photography to move us to acknowledge it.

Interweaving Burgin’s visual work with fragments from interviews, talks and letters, the publication offers insights into the relation of ‘theory’ to ‘practice’ in a form of art which has undermined the basis of this distinction.

Summary:
La catastrophe nucléaire de Fukushima a durablement bouleversé les relations autrefois intenses entre les individus, leur communauté et les cycles de la nature. Comment vivre alors dans un nouvel environnement? Telle est la question qu’évoque ce livre dans un dialogue à plusieurs voix : celle de la photographe Delphine Parodi, dont les diptyques, entre paysages intimes et portraits d’habitants, suggèrent l'altération de leur rapport au lieu et l'importance de la mémoire individuelle. Et celle l’écrivaine japonaise Yoko Tawada qui, par 24 poèmes rapportés de Fukushima, parachève un subtil équilibre entre visible et invisible. En donnant forme à ce qui reste une menace constante mais imperceptible, ce livre se veut un rappel universel à la conscience collective en temps de pandémie.

Summary:
Lorsqu'elle était enfant, Shiraz Bazin-Moussi passait ses vacances d'été en famille sur les îles Kerkennah, un archipel tunisien rural et préservé, qui vit naître Farhat Hached, leader indépendantiste assassiné en 1952. Il y a quelques années, elle découvre que Google a oublié de « maper » une des îles de l'archipel et que celle-ci a disparu! Depuis, l'oubli est réparé mais la photographe est retournée sur les traces de son enfance, à la recherche des images d'insouciance que sa mémoire a estompées, tout comme l'ont été les images officielles du récit national tunisien au temps de la colonisation, puis de la dictature. En utilisant le procédé du tirage Fresson, elle parvient à donner à ses photographies un caractère onirique et s'interroge aussi sur le rapport entre cartographie et pouvoir.

The concept of unheimlich, translated into english with the term uncanny, contains in its semantic complexity the same sense of impotence and disorientation that we feel when, visiting a place for the first time, we find ourselves in front of elements that seem familiar to us.

Summary:
The concept of unheimlich, translated into english with the term uncanny, contains in its semantic complexity the same sense of impotence and disorientation that we feel when, visiting a place for the first time, we find ourselves in front of elements that seem familiar to us. This feeling triggers in us contrasting reactions like calm and fear. Recalling dreamlike situations in which reality and fiction are intertwined, the project is inspired by the aesthetic concept, that Sigmund Freud explored in the 1919 essay 'Das unheimliche'. When the labyrinthine space of the children’s Colony in the former Eni village at Corte di Cadore is investigated through the lens of this concept, we question the restless familiarity of this place: 'Have I been here before?'.
