Summary:
« Et le bleu du ciel dans l’ombre » de Manuela Marques revient sur la singulière expérience du paysage que l’artiste a pu développer récemment, à l’invitation du musée de Lodève. Plutôt que de privilégier les grandes photographies aux points de vue spectaculaires — que les causses du Larzac ou les environs du lac du Salagou inspirent aisément —, elle a préféré expérimenter une approche plus intime et sensible du paysage. Observation, déplacement, et collecte d’éléments (pierres, bois, végétaux) font partie intégrante du développement de l’oeuvre. L’artiste pourra, par la suite, intégrer ces collectes dans des planches botaniques d’un nouveau genre ou dans de grandes compositions photographiques où illusions optiques, miroirs noirs et reflets fabriquent un nouveau point de vue : entre la vision d’un paysage et l’imaginaire que celle-ci suscite.

''Dreamscapes'' is a long-term artistic series by Swiss photographer Dominic Büttner. In it, Büttner records performances at night, both in natural and built environments. Holding a torch, he walks slowly away from a large-format view camera as a time exposure captures the scene, illuminated by moving light from which the artist himself is subsequently erased. By turns strange and yet somehow familiar, the fascinating landscapes show what an eerie place our everyday surroundings can be, depending on the light in which we experience them.

Summary:
Swiss photographer Tom Haller has gained wide recognition for his work in portraiture and reportage. Less well known, but equally arresting, are the landscapes Haller has produced during his travels throughout the United States over the course of nearly three decades. His photographs of America—of prairies, mountains, roads and the buildings lining them, motels, stadiums, shops, and abandoned cars—display a traveler's detached, inquisitive, perspective, with Haller directing his gaze at subjects while simultaneously depicting both the promise of these landscapes and the limits to the dreams they inspire.

Summary:
During his long career as a photographer, Martin Parr has always photographed beaches, particularly in the UK. The beach is more than just a common subject for Parr; he has often used the beach as a laboratory to experiment with new cameras and techniques. For example, when Parr switched from working with black-and-white film to medium-format color in the early 1980s, he tested out his new approach on the beaches of New Brighton, a run-down seaside resort near Liverpool. In recent years Parr has started exploring the beach with the aid of a telephoto lens. This lens is rarely used in the world of art and documentary photography, and Parr has experimented to find new ways to use its unique visual qualities, for example by incorporating the vegetation on the perimeter with the beach as a backdrop, both in and out of focus. "Martin Parr: Beach Therapy" focuses on this new body of work, the latest in his long experimental engagement with beaches and their users.

Summary:
Chicago photographer Brad Temkin (born 1956) brings attention to the visual and ecological beauty of the transformation of water, by showing the structures and processes that most people do not even think about. Most storm water runoff is considered waste, yet more than 700 cities reclaim and reuse wastewater and storm water with combined sewer systems, recycling it for agricultural uses and even drinking water. As we mimic nature and separate the impurities like sludge, salt or chemicals, a transformation occurs. Temkin believes it matters less what each structure really is used for, or whether the water pictured is pure or waste. He is drawn to the strangeness of these forms and the distorted sense of scale. Moving beyond mere description, he embraces the abstract and surreal landscape of water transformation.

Summary:
Robert Polidori (born 1951) has been making books at Steidl for over 18 years now, and for many of his visits he lodged in an apartment adjacent to the publishing house. To the left of this, at Düstere Straße 6, stands a small humble house, not only the oldest dwelling in Göttingen but, dating back to 1310, one of the oldest half-timbered houses in all of Germany. Miraculously never demolished over the centuries (just altered, repaired and patched up), it has now been restored by Gerhard Steidl and today houses the Günter Grass Archive, part of the University of Göttingen. ''Topographical Histories'' presents Polidori's 2016 photos of the interior walls of the building, whose glorious crumbling layers- 14th-century structures of wattle and daub, clay bricks and plaster, and remnants of paint and wallpaper from different centuries- bear witness to living history.

Summary:
From early portraits of her five sisters, to photos taken above bookshelves and under beds, and later series on the New York City subway, Moyra Davey has spent four decades developing a practice that comprises photography, film and writing. This book surveys Davey's work, bringing together her photos and film stills, and her writings on photography, memory, art and historical figures, alongside a suite of new essays and interviews. These are some of the figures that haunt her imagery: Walter Benjamin, Mary Wollstonecraft, Jean Genet and Chantal Ackerman. As with her photographic accumulations of fragments, Davey approaches these touchstones indirectly, drawing from their letters, journals and less celebrated works to understand how they committed to living creative lives.
