Reference monograph devoted to a radical pictorial work closer to the subject that is simultaneously a reflection on the photographic practice itself: all series of photographs of objects since 1989 (guitar amps, safes, tables listing, writing desks, lithographic stones, electrical panels, canvas versos...), with two essays. Monographie de référence sur un travail pictural au plus près des choses en même temps qu'une réflexion sur la photographie elle-même : les séries de photographies d'objets réalisées depuis 1989 (amplis, coffres-forts, tableaux de cotation, écritoires, pierres lithographiques, tableaux électriques, versos de peintures...), avec deux essais. Cet ouvrage amplement illustré montre dans son ensemble ce qui est une véritable entreprise de saisie – de capture – des objets. Deux essais situent l'importance de cet œuvre dans la création actuelle : Eric de Chassey propose un éclairage historique sur ses développements les plus récents tandis que Catherine Perret en relève toute la portée et la profondeur théoriques.

«In the black-and-white photographs you can feel Balthasar Burkhard standing in front of his motif. His gaze through the camera weighs, structures and composes. […] A touch of melancholy is embodied in the coloring and scent of his heliogravures. One can almost hear the voices of the three sisters in Chekhov’s eponymous drama, first performed in 1901 .

Summary:
«In the black-and-white photographs you can feel Balthasar Burkhard standing in front of his motif. His gaze through the camera weighs, structures and composes. […] A touch of melancholy is embodied in the coloring and scent of his heliogravures. One can almost hear the voices of the three sisters in Chekhov’s eponymous drama, first performed in 1901 . The pictures are imbued with a breath of transience, even of resignation. But at the same time, the scent of desire, of wanting to blossom is a strong instinct.» (Jean-Christophe Ammann) Two volumes show the artist’s latest full-color work and older black-and-white photographs that focus on the body and the landscape. Burkhard’s recent pictures of blossoms and plants are of such sensual intensity that we can almost smell their colors.

Summary:
Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre (1787-1851) was a true nineteenth-century visionary - a painter, printmaker, set designer, entrepreneur, inventor, and pioneer of photography. Though he was widely celebrated beyond his own lifetime for his invention of the daguerreotype, it was his origins as a theatrical designer and purveyor of visual entertainment that paved the way for Daguerre's emergence as one of the world's most iconic imagemakers. In "Speculating Daguerre," Stephen C. Pinson reinterprets the story of the man and his time, painting a vivid picture of Daguerre as an innovative artist and savvy impresario whose eventual fame as a photographer eclipsed everything that had come before.

Summary:
2010 marked the 50th anniversary of Brazil's capital Brasilia. Architects Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer designed what has become one of the most studied urban planning project. Niemeyer's Cathedral, his building for the National Congress and the city's 707-ft television tower are icons of modern architecture. The entire city, marked by its cross-shaped layout and vast open spaces, was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. The author of this publication visited Brasilia's vast building sites for the first time in 1958. He returned many times over the years, documenting with his camera growth and further development of this built Utopia. Besides documenting the buildings in various stages of completion, Burri took portraits of Niemeyer and his workers and photographed Brasilia's street scenes and people and aerial views of the city's first slums. His images capture the strong sense of a new era and a vibrant atmosphere of hard work and strain; they reflect the huge dimensions of the landscape and the great scale of this project and its ambition to design and build a new capital. This book presents a large selection from hundreds of colour and black-and-white photographs, the majority of them published in this book for the first time.
