Pour nous faire accepter un point de vue aussi original, Éric Pillot construit ses images à mi-chemin entre la photographie d'architecture et les estampes japonaises. De la première il garde la préoccupation des formes, des ombres et des lumières, et de sens de la construction.

Summary:
Pour nous faire accepter un point de vue aussi original, Éric Pillot construit ses images à mi-chemin entre la photographie d'architecture et les estampes japonaises. De la première il garde la préoccupation des formes, des ombres et des lumières, et de sens de la construction. Quant aux secondes, elles semblent lui inspirer la manière de disposer son animal dans le décor à la façon d'un accessoire, comme une broche sur un vêtement ou une mouche sur un visage. À-t-il eu recours aux immenses possibilités du numérique pour modifier la taille et la distance juste? Peu importe. Le numérique a tendance à tout traiter de la même manière, et Éric Pillot transforme cette caractéristique en esthétique. Il écrase les reliefs, traite les ombres comme des dessins à part entière et transforme objets, êtres et lumières en autant de lignes et de surfaces diversement colorées. -Serge Tisseron

Summary:
When, in 1909, the color photography pioneer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii began his journey to capture all of Russia in color images on behalf of the czar, the scope and importance of his undertaking were clear. Since 1905 he had planned to systematically document the empire with the color photography technique he had developed in order to give all Russians, particularly schoolchildren, a deeper connection to their country. His color images were not only meant to document the diverse citizens, ethnicities, settlements, folklore, and landscapes of a vast empire, but to create nothing less than a common identity for its populace. The subjects of Prokudin-Gorskii's landscape photography range from the medieval churches and monasteries of old Russia to the railroads and factories of an emerging industrial power. The United States Library of Congress purchased his work in 1948, but it was only recently laboriously restored. Nostalgia showcases these restored masterpieces of early color photography that are a milestone in Russia's cultural history.

Summary:
The landscape and people of the American Midwest have captivated photographer Terry Evans (b. 1944) throughout her forty-year photographic career. Evans has a deep connection to her native region, which she has explored from a variety of visual and thematic perspectives. Heartland traces the evolution of Evans’s vision, beginning in the early 1970s with her social documentary images of people in Kansas. She became a landscape photographer in 1978, focusing on the grasses, land, and skies of the prairie; this was followed by an aerial survey of the entire Great Plains, from Texas to Canada. She has also photographed Chicago from the air, an abandoned military site, small-town life in Kansas, and historical samples of prairie flora and fauna from Chicago’s Field Museum. More recently, she has documented the steel industry in the Midwest and oil and gas drilling in North Dakota. This illustrated book examines all of these works, which together reveal the enduring beauty of the prairie landscape.

Summary:
Only recently has Margaret Watkins (1884-1969) come to be cited in the annals of twentieth-century photography. She is remembered as a formidable teacher at New York's Clarence H. White School of Photography and as an active member of the Pictorial Photographers of America. But it is her photographs - now key works in the history of early advertising photography and classic examples of modernist photography - that have earned her special recognition within the history of the medium. Watkins unsettled the established art world of the time with images such as still-life studies of dirty dishes in a kitchen sink and a shower hose in a bathroom. This publication accompanies the first major retrospective exhibition of the work of Margaret Watkins with loans from major public and private collection.

Summary:
During a legendary career that spanned almost six decades, Czech photographer Josef Sudek, the “poet of Prague,” developed a craftsmanship and technical virtuosity that was unparalleled among his contemporaries. Early in his career, though the prevailing art movements of the 1920s and ’30s included cubism, surrealism, and the Czech avant-garde, Sudek sought his own approach characterized by a striking mastery of light. This book takes readers on a journey through Sudek’s life and work. Included here are essays by some of the renowned writers, including curator Maia-Mari Sutnik, photo-historian Antonín Dufek, Canadian Art editor Richard Rhodes, and photographer Geoffrey James.

Summary:
In this book, Takashi Homma traces the blood trails of deer killed in Shiretoko National Park on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. Like ritualistic stains or calligraphic compositions, the photographs, which Homma made in the winters of 2009 to 2018, are at once abstract and symbolic. Considered by some to be sacred, deer in Japan have controversially faced culls due to their growing population, which upset agricultural communities struggling to protect their crops. To aid their mission in reducing numbers, the government encourages local hunters to take matters into their own hands. Homma photographs the effects – the red vestiges of wild life in the snow.

Summary:
Dans cet ouvrage rétrospectif qui traverse plus de quarante années de son travail, il est question de donner une forme à la tension des images, de rendre palpable la friction entre la peur et la sérénité qui se dégagent des sujets. Les différentes séries photographiques s’enchaînent grâce au fil conducteur qu’est l’avertissement : une alerte sur la condition des paysages, à la fois en danger et puissants, et sur le comportement de l’homme, parfois menaçant, parfois vulnérable. Une introduction rédigée par David Chandler (auteur et professeur à l’université de Plymouth) ainsi que des textes de Gérard Haller (écrivain) accompagnent les images du photographe et contextualisent sa pratique.
