We owe the people in these images a debt of gratitude. We're pleased to share them with you.

Lots Of Lots transforms the seemingly quotidian objects captured by Fulford in nearly seven hundred photographs into an evocative collection of interconnected and overlapping forms. Employing a 3x3 format with nine square images on each page, the book groups subjects by idiosyncratic features such as colour palette, slogans, distinctive shadows, and geometric shape. Untethered by location, style, or time, Fulford’s collection moves between coherence and collision in reflection of the varying order and disorder of our world. An empty laundrette, a lone park bench, and a cascading waterfall find new resonance in Fulford’s wry and illuminating compositions, showing us the extant beauty among endless production and consumption.

Concrètement, chaque année, 119 millions de poches de sang sont collectées dans le monde, permettant de soigner et de sauver des milliers de personnes souffrant de multiples maladies, de cancers ou victimes d’hémorragie. L’acte de donner son sang gratuitement et anonymement reconstruit des existences et, autant que résistent les coquelicots à l’emprise du béton, des vies trop fragiles sont maintenues par ces justes, éloignés des suffisances narcissiques tout autant que de l’évaluation marchande de leurs gestes. Rendre compte de cette éthique délicate et discrète des pratiques ordinaires liant le don, le soin et la gratitude, par un dialogue associant des textes et des photos, nous a semblé essentiel. « Trois gouttes de sang comme une fleur » est donc un récit à deux voix – celles d’un photographe et d’un anthropologue – mêlant le réalisme du regard à une appréhension poétique du monde. Une narration entremêlée pour reconnaître l’importance de ces « vies minuscules » sans qui nul ne serait ni soigné ni sauvé. Par une écriture photographique sensible à l’imaginaire Clément Chapillon a tendu un « fil rouge » reliant les différents acteurs du don, notamment par un dispositif d’autoportraits. Chaque personne photographiée a elle-même « pressé » le déclencheur incarnant ainsi son engagement et par ce geste partageant la solidarité d’une générosité anonyme. À partir d’entretiens réalisés avec des donneurs, des receveurs et des professionnels de santé, en questionnant sa propre expérience des soins, Yannick Jaffré a questionné les mots du don et ce que la vulnérabilité peut ajouter à l’humain.

Tous les principes de l’architecture nouvelle et du confort moderne y sont visibles (toits terrasse, fenêtres en bandes, centrale électrique). Initialement destinée à accueillir les soldats blessés du poumon pendant la Première Guerre Mondiale et leurs familles, elle est devenue sanatorium et abrite aujourd’hui différentes structures d’aide, de formation et de vie en direction des personnes en situation de handicap.

Summary:
"The last things" explores the artifacts of an American archeological present. The work in this series depicts vernacular forms of architecture, signage, images, and objects that were hastily made in a rush for attention, or abandoned in place after their usefulness had expired. Lehr posits them as symptomatic symbols of the repetitive cycles of decline, rehabilitation, violence, and mourning that are woven into the fabric of contemporary American life. These light-drenched photographs vividly describe a nation speaking through the language of capitalism. Words and images repeat and contradict throughout the work, reflecting emphatic pleas and shifting priorities. At other times, language breaks down completely, giving way to pictographic forms that are both primitive and utterly contemporary. Flaking paint morphs into JPEG vinyl printouts and LED displays, blurring the line between commercial speech and individual expression. Embedded in the work is a belief in the power and absurdity of objects that—like a body—bear the traces of collective experience. In its distilled and emphatic sequencing "The last things" reads as a prose poem and a cryptic cipher about a country at the brink of a tipping point.

In sixty-three images, from various perspectives, the artist documents fourteen of his Two Pipes. Each sculpture consists of two standard steel pipes planted vertically. One has an above-ground height of five meters fifty (19'). Cut, the other has variable length. The distance between them is invariably eight centimeters (3''). Whether outdoors, in an exhibition space, or on a piece of paper, the Two Poles and Two Lines will accompany the Two Pipes in this tensioning of space. The book, "Two pipes fourteen locations", opens with a plate of captions. It provides information on the dimensions and location of the pieces. The very first photograph reproduced in the book is a close-up shot. The image is cropped. It foreshadows the photographic work that the artist Peter Downsbrough would develop over several decades.

California, specifically the San Francisco Bay Area, with its storied history as a beacon of prosperity and possibility, emerges as a familiar and compelling backdrop. It’s a place where people have always been drawn, seeking not only financial windfalls but also the promise of a better life—a westward pull that echoes through time. As I navigate the present, no longer burdened by the same fog of depression that led to the creation of this body of work, but rather fuelled by a hunger and longing for love and connection, "Doldrums" becomes a testament to the transformative power of time.

These little-known fortifications were built before the Second World War to protect France from Mussolini. But nobody has successfully invaded over the Alps since Napoleon, and things didn’t quite turn out as the French expected. Now, the bunkers are marooned, forlorn and crumbling, in some of the most beautiful and remote parts of France. They are disappearing into the landscapes they once commanded, stray facts from a future passed, still waiting for an onslaught that never came.
