Summary:
This is the first volume to provide a concentrated perspective of the work by this Düsseldorf photographer. “I see real landscape through the stencil of virtual landscape and vice-versa,” says Michael Reisch (*1964) about his disturbing works, which cannot be clearly defined as either reality or simulation. Reisch, who studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and with Bernd Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, photographs landscapes as well as industrial complexes and buildings with a large-format camera. He then digitizes the images and manipulates them subtly, erasing all allusions to a specific place and time, as well as all signs of human presence. By modifying the composition in other ways such as correcting the colors, he creates a fictional landscape, an “image” of landscape. This invented landscape can seem unbelievably real, while the real, existing landscape, on the other hand, appears unreal, removed, or imaginary. This is the first book to offer a concentrated look at the work of the Düsseldorf-based artist.

Summary:
This pocket-size catalogue of the American artist Joel-Peter Witkin's inimitable work includes a selection of more than 50 astonishing photographs, a collection that expresses the artist's unique point of view on an extraordinary segment of humanity. Witkin's powerful and transgressive images are renowned for their depiction of outsiders including dwarves, transsexuals, hermaphrodites and physically deformed people. They are equally appreciated for their high aesthetic refinement, referencing classical paintings, Baroque art, Surrealism and other genres including still lifes and religious episodes. Witkin has said that his vision and sensibility were initiated by an episode he witnessed as a small child--a car accident in front of his house in which a little girl was decapitated. He has also said that problems in his family were an influence: his Jewish father and Catholic mother parted over religious differences.

Summary:
Throughout his career, the influential art photographer Jeff Wall has written periodically on a variety of subjects--from the work of his Vancouver colleagues, to the art of such diverse figures as Edouard Manet, On Kawara, and Dan Graham, to the important role of photography in Conceptual art. Wall's own work takes center stage in the many interviews he has granted over the past two decades. Both the essays and the interviews are indispensable to the study of Wall's work, which will be the subject of a major American traveling retrospective, with stops in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, throughout 2007. Thanks to Wall's wide-ranging curiosity, nimble mind, and articulate voice, the texts are also of considerable interest outside of the context of his own oeuvre. This generous selection of 14 essays and 23 interviews from the past 25 years is the first collection of Wall's texts to be published in English, and as such, is an instant collector's item. This affordable volume also includes 120 black-and-white illustrations for reference purposes.

Summary:
From 1906 to 1934, Eugene de Salignac shot over twenty thousand 8-by-10-inch glass-plate negatives of New York City. As sole photographer at the Department of Bridges/Plant and Structures during that period of dizzying growth, he documented the creation of the city's modern infrastructure—bridges, major municipal buildings, roads, and subways. For years these remarkably lyrical photographs have been used in books and films, but never credited to de Salignac. New York Rises is the first monograph to present them as an aesthetically coherent oeuvre by a photographer with a unique vision. As meticulous in his record keeping as he was creative in his photography, de Salignac left five handwritten logs that identify each negative by place and exact date. This information is complemented throughout the book by narrative captions expanding on themes such as accidents, bridges, workers, and the Depression. Michael Lorenzini has unearthed primary sources to reconstruct de Salignac's biography. Kevin Moore explores his work in the context of other photographers of the period, including Eugène Atget and Berenice Abbott.

Summary:
Ce projet débute en 1997 par une exposition sous chapiteau dans Shakhari bazar, dernière poche de diversité culturelle et religieuse de Dhaka, capitale du Bangladesh. Elle se composait de portraits d’habitants, restes inutiles d’un reportage mené en 1995/96. Le dernier jour, les photographies furent distribuées aux habitants, l’exposition prenant fin au fur et à mesure que chacun emportait son portrait. En 2001 et 2004, Saussier documente la dissémination de ses images dans les boutiques et les intérieurs, leur cohabitation avec les posters de cinéma, les images de la culture bengalie, les photos de familles. À cette occasion, il distribue également des portraits réalisés lors de l’exposition de 1997, qui représentent des habitants tenant à la main leur portrait de 1995/96. Ces couches d’images superposées forment le fil conducteur d’un processus d’une dizaine d’années – Saussier étant revenu une dernière fois en 2006 – qui paraît épouser le rythme cette rue-méandre fait de mouvements et d’attentes. À travers un texte d’introduction et des notations au fil de l’ouvrage, Saussier évoque le présent et l’histoire de Shakhari bazar, l’évolution et les modalités de son propre travail.
