Summary:
This book presents an overview of the avant-garde photographic oeuvre of Shigeru Onishi from the 1950s. Whether depicting nudes, cityscapes, trees or interiors (or combinations of these realized through multiple exposures or photomontages), most striking about Onishi’s photos are his unorthodox printing methods: using a brush to coat the photographic paper with emulsion, fogging, discoloration with acetic acid, creating the effect that the fixing process was incomplete, and color correction by varying the temperature during development. The painterly results show Onishi’s interest to be not conventional representation but, in his words, the visual “formation of ideas,” and bringing out “the flavors of the image as they change” by embracing all aspects of chance involved in the photographic process. “In truth,” he argues, “if your photograph consists only of planned elements, it is essentially identical to a drawing of a single equilateral triangle.”

Denmark’s best-known photographer Keld Helmer-Petersen published his first photobook, 122 Colour Photographs, in 1948. His work was immediately notable for its inventive composition, which turned landscapes and buildings into abstract patterns, and for the photographer’s embrace of color at a time when only black-and-white photography was considered serious.

Summary:
Denmark’s best-known photographer Keld Helmer-Petersen published his first photobook, 122 Colour Photographs, in 1948. His work was immediately notable for its inventive composition, which turned landscapes and buildings into abstract patterns, and for the photographer’s embrace of color at a time when only black-and-white photography was considered serious. When Life magazine reproduced several pages from the book in 1949, Helmer-Petersen’s vision found a wide, international audience for the first time. Helmer-Petersen’s style was experimental modernism tempered by a lyrical simplicity and a sense of keen, quiet observation. By isolating details and compressing visual space, the photographer turned the real world into vibrant, graphic pattern. “The pictures aim at illustrating nothing whatever beyond the fact that we are surrounded by many beautiful and exciting things,” Helmer-Petersen said. “And that there can be a great deal of pleasure in spotting them and capturing their beauty by means of color photography.”

Summary:
In ''Last summer,'' the Zurich-based artist, writer and publisher Philipp Keel (born 1968) presents new still lifes and images of incidental poetry: pictures of palms, pools and drinks, depicted in a seemingly cool and summery mood.

Summary:
With "Atacama", Jamey Stillings again shares his distinctive aerial perspective to examine dramatic large-scale renewable energy projects, the visual dynamic of enormous mining operations and the stark beauty of the Atacama Desert, so often scarred by human activity. Chile produces a third of the world’s copper and has the largest known lithium reserves, and we utilize these resources daily in our cars, computers and smartphones. The country’s mining industry has traditionally been dependent on imported coal, diesel and natural gas for its energy. Yet the Atacama Desert has excellent solar and wind potential: new renewable energy projects there now supply significant electricity to the northern grid, transmit power to population centers in the south, and are reducing mining’s dependence on fossil fuel. Stillings’ aesthetic interest in the human-altered landscape and concerns for environmental sustainability are principal pillars of his work. His photography elicits a critical dialogue about meeting our needs and desires while seeking equilibrium between nature and human activity. "Atacama," the latest chapter in his ongoing project "Changing perspectives," shows how photography can concurrently be a source of inspiration, motivation and information, and reminds us that a carbon-constrained future is crucial to a responsible approach to life on earth.

Summary:
Jean-Christophe Béchet est allé à Cuba en 1990, au moment où les « Balseros » essayaient d’atteindre les côtes américaines, la Floride, sur leurs radeaux de fortune. Il est revenu à la Havane vingt ans plus tard, à la mort de Fidel Castro, découvrant une ville en pleine mutation. Les voitures américaines sont toujours là mais devenues des taxis pour touristes, le long du Malecon, on rénove les bâtiments et fleurissent les bars de luxe... Le photographe s’est écarté de ce théâtre touristique, préférant se perdre dans des rues sombres, à la recherche de ces sensations cubaines : entre pauvreté et classe, ordre et anarchie. « Habana Song » est une poésie visuelle qu’il joue en noir et blanc, loin des clichés et couleurs qui identifient habituellement Cuba. Une musique qui nous accompagne tout au long de cette déambulation photographique.

Homma’s daughter, captured in various stages of toddlerhood in everyday locations, stares serenely just beyond the camera lens, unselfconscious and generally appearing more interested in the person holding the camera than the device itself: in one photograph, she peers out curiously from the backseat of a car, while in another she points her own tiny pink camera back at her father. Homma’s photography is imbued with a warmth and sincerity that belies his total familiarity with the subjects at hand; he documents Tokyo’s urban landscape with the same tenderness he brings to portraying his daughter.

De l’Allemagne de l’Est à l’Ukraine en passant par la Hongrie et la Bulgarie, il a parcouru des zones délaissées, a croisé des bâtiments désaffectés, a immortalisé des traces d’un autre temps. Mines, bases militaires, théâtres, écoles, hôpitaux… sont autant de lieux dans lesquels s’incarnait le communisme soviétique. Autant d’endroits porteurs de symboles forts, de devises ouvrières, de figures politiques. Les bunkers d’un autre âge, la zone de confinement de Tchernobyl, les écoles militaires nous racontent à leur manière le XXe siècle.

Summary:
In recent years Russian cities have visibly changed. The architectural heritage of the Soviet period has not been fully acknowledged. As a result many unique modernist buildings have been destroyed or changed beyond recognition. Russian photographer Arseniy Kotov intends to document these buildings and their surroundings before they are lost forever. He likes to take pictures in winter, during the 'blue hour,' which occurs immediately after sunset or just before sunrise. At this time, the warm yellow colors inside apartment-block windows contrast with the twilight gloom outside. To Kotov, this atmosphere reflects the Soviet period of his imagination. His impression of this time is unashamedly idealistic: he envisages a great civilization, built on a fair society, which hopes to explore nature and conquer space. From the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the desert steppes of Kazakhstan to the grim monolithic high-rise dormitory blocks of inner-city Volgograd, Kotov captures the essence of the post-Soviet world.
