Summary:
Surtout connue pour ses travaux en architecture, en urbanisme et en design de mobilier, Charlotte Perriand a pourtant développé, au cours de son œuvre, une « parenthèse photographique » durant l’entre-deux-guerres. Pratiquée à titre personnel et dans le cadre de ses recherches, la photographie de Charlotte Perriand s’avère prolixe : clichés documentaires, photos brutes, photomontages militants ancrés dans les luttes politiques et sociales de son époque. Aborder son œuvre du point de vue de la photographie revisite l’histoire du médium en soi : Charlotte Perriand est de ces « non-photographes » qui annoncent l’avènement de l’image comme langage hégémonique et transversal de communication.

''Raum'' simply affirms an undefined 'space' and with this work for Angle the Japanese photographer Hayahisa Tomiyasu selects a tiny slice of the richness of public space. An observation of a lizard basking in the sun on a summer’s day in Zürich has led to a photographic sequence in black and white – in portrait as well as landscape format. The demarcation of the(...)

Summary:
''Raum'' simply affirms an undefined 'space' and with this work for Angle the Japanese photographer Hayahisa Tomiyasu selects a tiny slice of the richness of public space. An observation of a lizard basking in the sun on a summer’s day in Zürich has led to a photographic sequence in black and white – in portrait as well as landscape format. The demarcation of the photographic space – the extremely limited detail – is consistently kept low, around ground level. Through the sequential and the serial, with a point of departure in the close surroundings, Tomiyasu is preoccupied with new views of various territories in the shared space where we are separated from others’ invisible boundaries. Here the animals are subject to an alternative, instinct-driven logic. But humans too operate with distance, marking and ownership. An urge for invisibility and camouflage can appear on the radar at any time, and make us want to scuttle away like a lizard.

Summary:
Dag Nordbrenden’s publication ''Arituba Spa Center'' is a photographic study of an unfinished and broken-down Brazilian apartment complex in massive concrete architecture. The plan was to build holiday apartments, but the project came to grief in 2008 as a result of the financial crisis and money-laundering scandals in which Norwegian investors and developers were also involved. In that sense the pictures reflect economic decline as well as architectural collapse. The intended holiday idyll has become an image of global economic hubris. Nordbrenden has gone into this material wasteland with an awareness of photography’s long love affair with the aesthetic of decay.

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

"Fotnoter'' ("Footnotes") documents the last ten years of urban developments in Oslo, through Tallerås subjective, yet distinctly indexical photographic practice. The book is centered around his photographic archive, reimagined through an in depth design process conceptualizing Tallerås exhibition practice as a book. The book contains a newly written essay, where the artist contextualizes his archive, and reflects around urban development and the need for critically engaging with the city and it’s development through art making, and through a direct engagement with the city.

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.

Summary:
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.
