Summary:
The German photographer Kerstin Flake has made an impact with her enigmatic pictures of bizarre configurations, taken with an analog large-format camera. In Replaces she has photographed installations in empty industrial premises at the Gründerzeithaus in Leipzig, which functions as her studio. The geography here is significant, as this part of the former East Germany is rapidly changing. New capital is being generated as a result of hectic property speculation, and in parallel old industry has ground to a halt – its traditional rooting has been lost, and the present is in a state of flux. In Flake’s work the spaces have been emptied of their original function, and the normal physical rules of the game have been abandoned. The places emerge anew, now dominated by irrational compositional principles. Objects are animated like props on a stage. Worn-out window frames on edge and doors stand vertically in the room – the spatial elements stand like absurd exclamation marks that prevent both exit and entry. Furniture is stacked hysterically, with a crazed logic. Men in suits appear in the compositions as rigid horizontal objects, trousered legs create diagonal lines. As a pointed statement this publication is a poetic but also politically oriented investigation of displacements and alternative logic

Summary:
Siri Ekker Svendsen’s ''All the whisperings of the world'' is a photo book examining the visual connections between nature’s vulnerability and the effects of an allergic shock to the body. To accomplish this, the artist takes us on a journey to contemporary rainforest areas in South America. The locus of this process is the Brazil nut. The book weaves macro and micro perspectives with Svendsen’s classic black and white photographs, revealing the human body within a diverse ecosystem of complex interdependency. Images via microscope — body cells that have been destroyed due to allergic reactions — lead to images from scientific research on the body, flora, and fauna. A fragile connection is visualized, creating space to contemplate, fear, and grieve — ''All the whisperings of the world'' is an elegiac yearning for the loss of diversity in nature, which we see is also our own habitat.

Face à la difficulté de s'établir en tant que femme cinéaste aux États-Unis du début du XXe siècle, elle invente un langage visuel à la croisée de la photographie et du cinéma. Du road movie ("Bicycle Trip", 1939) au roman photo ("American Girl in Italy", 1951) en passant par des nombreux reportages et le montage du célèbre film ''Little Fugitive'' (précurseur de la Nouvelle Vague), ses séries emblématiques sont empreintes de théâtralité, de mouvement et de narration. Au-delà de l'image en mouvement et en deçà de l’image fixe, son écriture photographique imbrique constamment ces deux temporalités.

For over 25 years, Hido has crafted narratives through loose and mysterious suburban scenes, desolate landscapes, and cinematic portraits. Irrespective of its title, this is a book about hope and beauty and why we seek it so desperately at this time. For his latest images he has roamed as far as the Hawaiian Islands and their meteorological opposites; the shores of the Bering Sea, and Nordic fjords above the Arctic Circle. Even with such geographic diversity, Hido captures places that feel at once familiar and unknown; welcoming and unsettling.

Summary:
Deux immenses photographes, deux mois de septembre aux antipodes : cet ouvrage raconte les événements qui ont marqué l’histoire chilienne vus à travers les objectifs de deux figures du photojournalisme. En septembre1971, Raymond Depardon part à Santiago saisir l’effervescence qui suit l’élection du président socialiste Salvador Allende en 1970, avant de poursuivre son voyage dans le sud du pays. Deux ans plus tard, en septembre 1973, c’est au tour de David Burnett qui arrive dans la capitale chilienne peu après le coup d’État du général Augusto Pinochet, photographiant les moments de tension et de terreur qui s’ensuivent. Cette immersion dans le Chili des années 1970 interroge ce que le pays est devenu aujourd’hui face aux enjeux actuels, cinquante ans après les événements. Au cœur de ces deux volets photographiques qui composent l’ouvrage, on découvre la reproduction du cliché iconique de Leopoldo Vargas, saisissant la dernière image de Salvador Allende vivant, sortant de la Moneda, le palais présidentiel, l’arme à la main. Plusieurs textes de Robert Pledge et Luis Poirot, ponctuent et contextualisent ce double corpus visuel. Ils sont complétés par deux récits personnels de l’époque : celui de Sonja Martinson Uppman, ancienne secrétaire à l’ambassade de Suède au Chili en 1973, qui a réussi à protéger et exfiltrer près de 80 personnes menacées par la junte militaire, et celui d’Alejandra Matus, alors petite fille à l’époque du coup d’État et les dix-sept années de sa jeunesse qui ont suivi, marquées par la dictature.

Un livre que l’on peut apporter partout, cet ouvrage fruit d’un travail qui s’est échelonné sur plusieurs années et révèle la passion du photographe pour la nature et son amour pour la photographie en noir et blanc. Les séries de Guy Tremblay alternent entre le paysage et le portrait. Il se concentre généralement sur une série à la fois. Certaines séries peuvent toutefois s'échelonner sur plusieurs années telles que ses séries de paysages. Il a choisi la photographie en noir et blanc pour des raisons esthétiques et parce qu'il contrôle le processus de la prise de vue jusqu'au développement final des épreuves.

Summary:
Austrian photographer Stefan Draschan (born 1979) is a self-confessed flâneur. His penchants for museum-going and people-watching blossomed into a wildly successful blog-turned-book: "Coincidences at museums" (2019), in which he photographed other museum-goers who inadvertently matched with the paintings in front of them. Since then, Draschan has developed numerous other projects that retain the same penchant for amusing pattern recognition. "Double take" compiles a smattering of images from his prolific output, including those from his "Cars matching homes" series as well as new highlights from his museum series, which have become increasingly diverse. Draschan’s work has inspired a wide audience to identify joyful compositions in everyday life. This playfully designed book reveals just how many visual surprises and unusual perspectives this master of the unexpected moment has to offer.
