Summary:
Richard Misrach is among the most influential, prolific, and internationally recognized photographers working today. Best known for his epic ongoing project, Desert Cantos-an extensive and unique photographic exploration of place-Misrach consistently addresses political and social issues through the adaptation of different photographic strategies, even as he expands notions of traditional landscape practice, and builds a complex and poignant document of American culture. His subjects have included manmade floods and fires, military bombing ranges, mass graves of dead animals, sublime night skies, and details of paintings housed in the museums of the Southwest. In one recent series, "On the beach"-which was inspired by Nevil Shute’s postapocalyptic novel of the 1950s-Misrach’s color photographs deal with the human figure seen at a distance on an unspecified beach or in the water, observed from an unsettling and difficult-to-identify point of view located high above. Misrach’s newest publication, "Chronologies" is a compelling study of the photographer’s process over the past 30 years. Stripped of their original context, the photographs-presented in chronological order-illuminate how the photographer thinks and works. Through fits and starts, reiterations and detours, the work evolves and matures, weaving in and out of the series for which Misrach has become known. Side-by-side, classic images and never-before-seen pictures flesh out the photographer’s logic and complicate it at the same time. Ultimately, "Chronologies" is about time: the span of thirty years, the importance of time in each photograph, the chronology of a life within its time, and the book itself as a timepiece.

Summary:
Edward Burtynsky’s imagery explores the intricate link between industry and nature, combining the raw elements of mining, quarrying, shipping, oil production, and recycling into eloquent, highly expressive visions that find beauty and humanity in the most unlikely places. These images are metaphors for the dilemma of our modern existence: we are drawn by desire-the desire(...)

Summary:
Edward Burtynsky’s imagery explores the intricate link between industry and nature, combining the raw elements of mining, quarrying, shipping, oil production, and recycling into eloquent, highly expressive visions that find beauty and humanity in the most unlikely places. These images are metaphors for the dilemma of our modern existence: we are drawn by desire-the desire to live well and in comfort-yet we all know that the world is suffering to meet those demands. Our dependence on nature to provide the materials for our consumption and our concern for the health of our planet sets us into uneasy contradiction and feeds the dialogue in Burtynsky’s images between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear. Burtysnky’s latest body of work gives visual form to the industrial and urban transformation of China, a place where industrial forces are gathering on a scale that the world has never experienced before. If the earth’s resources were up to now under siege through western colonialism and technological progress, then China is on the brink of a sweeping assault on the planet’s ecosystem that is only just forming and is nowhere close to expressing its full impact.

Summary:
The series by Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto are characterized by matchless clarity and presence. His works are always an absolute embodiment of his chosen visual motif, reduced to its essence. Our monograph is the first to feature works selected from all of the series produced to date - including, of course, his most famous: Sugimoto's celebrated portraits of wax figures seem to face up to their living audiences; his "Seascapes" show us nothing less than a person's first conscious view of the ocean; the extremely long exposures of "Theaters" elevate the white, luminescent cinema screen, transforming it into a magical image of an altar; and the fascinating "Dioramas" - photographs of scientific display cases - allow us to travel with the artist far into the past to observe extinct animal species or the daily life of early man.

Summary:
En 2018, Maxime Brygo arpente plusieurs mois durant les plaines du sud du Vietnam, traversées par le fleuve Mékong. Originaire du nord de la France, il découvre dans son périple un autre "plat pays" , qui, comme le sien, fut en partie gagné sur la mer. Alternant la couleur et le noir et blanc, il parvient à capter l'aspect transitoire des paysages visités tout comme leur charge symbolique ancestrale. Flatland s'ouvre comme un recueil d'indices, d'autant plus happant que les photographies rassemblées confèrent à des sites a priori anodins une étrangeté, parfois une aura. Les lieux suggèrent ici des usages, des pratiques, des rituels, là des forces magiques, telluriques ou cosmiques dont les images restituent l'activité secrète.

Summary:
Sandra Rocha s'est inspirée des Métamorphoses d'Ovide pour concevoir et réunir les photographies de ce livre. Là où l'auteur classique fait état de l'ensemble des mythes où des êtres humains ou divins se métamorphosent en d'autres êtres de la nature, Sandra Rocha s'empare directement des mondes animal, végétal et minéral pour les mettre en relation dans une sorte de cosmogonie. La présence humaine se retrouve prise au même niveau que l'ensemble des autres éléments composant notre monde. Sandra Rocha interroge photographiquement ce qu'un philosophe comme Emanuele Coccia a pu développer dans ses derniers ouvrages : comment les éléments du vivant peuvent interagir les uns avec les autres tout en étant intrinsèquement liés au tout.

Summary:
« Ce livre est une plongée dans l’aspect le plus intime de ma production photographique. Depuis 2006, je tiens un journal visuel, attentif aux signes et à la recherche de fragments de ce qui constitue mon univers. Je poursuis les traces fragiles et éphémères des choses qui disparaissent rapidement, partout, tout le temps, ces choses, facilement trouvées, si difficilement retenues. Je vois ce journal comme un film sans scénario où l’œuvre prend forme sur ma table puis dans le livre. Chaque chapitre est un trajet, une tranche de vie accélérée, une captation de l’inlassable mouvement du monde. Une poignée d’étoiles fait notamment référence à mes prises de vues nocturnes durant le confinement, dans une volonté symbolique de transformer le chaos en cosmos. En plus des photographies, je joins de brefs textes, des extraits de mon journal. J’y vois là de nouvelles images, comme des planches contacts littéraires. »

Summary:
Master printer Michael Flomen brings his darkroom into the environment to create large-scale, avant-garde photograms in confluence with nature. Trading his camera for light-sensitive materials such as photographic paper, he works with water, fireflies, wind, rain, and other natural phenomena to create monumental photograms, revealing things we cannot see with the naked eye. With images that originate in streets to those forged in the wilderness, this monograph presents 182 images and eight critical essays that trace the evolution of Flomen’s vision. His message is particularly vital today, as we learn to mend our relationship with the environment.
