''My pictures were part of an extended project on Hull, then suffering both the loss of its fishing industry and a programme of extensive redevelopment which appeared to be turning its back on the city's history and replacing areas which had been human and vibrant with depressing wastelands, failing to learn the lessons that were already apparent from elsewhere in the(...)

''My pictures were part of an extended project on Hull, then suffering both the loss of its fishing industry and a programme of extensive redevelopment which appeared to be turning its back on the city's history and replacing areas which had been human and vibrant with depressing wastelands, failing to learn the lessons that were already apparent from elsewhere in the country. 'Still Occupied - A View of Hull' was shown at the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull in 1983, and the work here is from one of the eight sections of my self-published book and web site on Hull.'' - PM

''I used my first camera, an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic with 20-, 28-, 50-, 135- and 300mm Super Takumar lenses, until I bought a Leica M4 in 1971. From then on I used the Leica with 35- and 50mm Summicron lenses exclusively. I printed only very rarely and very little, and for the next forty-odd years I had these photographs, taken in 1968-77, only in the form of contact(...)

He bought his first camera in 1968 and taught himself to develop and print. He photographed London and Northern England, mostly as a hobby.

Summary:
''In 1969 the Architectural Review invited guest editor Tim Rock to produce a few issues of the magazine. His brief was to take a hard look at the state of Britain, which must have come as a rude awakening for the readers of this conservative journal. I was lucky to receive the opening assignment for this ambitious project and spent the following six weeks recording the frustrations surrounding life, work and leisure in the Britain of the late 1960s. The result was a photo essay called 'Manplan' which ran for 75 pages in the magazine and from which these images are drawn. The project ran for several more issues, with other editorial photographers exploring more specific subjects for the project. However, I think it’s fair to surmise that the magazine, its readers, and its advertisers were relieved to return to the safer territory of architectural photography, with its correct verticals and its political correctness too!'' - PW

Summary:
This book brings together, for the first time, the entire Private Scenes photographic series in which we discover a new dimension of the work of Masahisa Fukase, that of the artist struggling with his medium. This singular corpus is made up of images in which the artist inserts himself. The series is made up of two sets: Letters from Journeys which presents photographs taken in 1989 in different cities around the world (Paris, London, Brussels, Antwerp, etc.), and Private Scenes '92 which focuses on his daily life in Tokyo, where now each print is enhanced with color paints, thus becoming a unique work. This final series bears witness to Fukase's questions about his own practice of photography at the end of his life, and the place of the photographer in his work, when subject and object overlap, also evoking the current practice of the selfie.

Summary:
This artist’s book accompanies Ari Marcopoulos’s exhibition at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen. To create the book, Marcopoulos re-photographed prints of his photographs that he had produced at home using a pigment printer. This process was in many ways a continuation of the period of pandemic isolation in which most of the images were photographed. Closely aligned with his own copious output, the selection is both haphazard and intuitive, leaving room for spontaneity and even mistakes. A portion of the book also focuses on the 2021 video installation ‘Alone Together’, featuring a saxophone performance by jazz legend Joe McPhee, which forms a central part of the exhibition.

Summary:
Avec ce quatrième volet de l’Atlas des Régions Naturelles, Éric Tabuchi et Nelly Monnier poursuivent leur projet au long cours engagé en 2017 : la documentation globale des 450 régions naturelles — ou « pays » — qui composent le territoire français. Une aventure photographique hors normes destinée à se déployer sur plusieurs années, au rythme d’une publication par semestre. En sillonnant ces petites entités géographiques et culturelles parfois tombées en désuétude face au découpage administratif de l’Hexagone, le duo collecte les éléments visuels de ce qui fonde une région. Ils associent indifféremment les particularismes impulsés par l’homme — architectures traditionnelles, toponymes, esthétiques locales, traces de l’histoire — et les motifs naturels, tels que reliefs, paysages, couleurs, végétation, etc.
