Summary:
Despite his debilitating lifelong physical condition, Shigeo Gocho (1946–1983) left a legacy of three photographic collections and one volume of artwork, as well as contact prints, notebooks, and memo books. The re-evaluation of Gocho’s oeuvre began at the end of the 1980s and continues today. This not only concerns his personal story but also the fact that the allusions to various social phenomena and “edges” portrayed in his works deeply resonate with many people at the core of their being. This impressive overview features Gocho’s photographic series ‘Self and Others’ (1977), ‘Familiar Street Scenes (1981), and ‘Childhood’ (1983), alongside his spiritual and abstract artworks.

Summary:
Photographer Rinko Kawauchi (1972–), known for her expressive mastery of gentle color suffused with light, has revealed the mystery, radiance, frailty, and strength of life in all its forms since her earliest works. Her gaze falls equally on the fragile and delicate beings in her immediate vicinity, be they flora and fauna or family members, and the vast workings of the earth, such as volcanoes and glaciers formed over long eons. The unique sensibility underlying her photography reveals the connections between these subjects, which all shimmer with the same vital glow. This will be her first major exhibition in Japan in six years, showcasing the essence of Kawauchi’s oeuvre through work from the past decade combined with never-before-seen images from her archives. M/E, the main subject of this exhibition and inspiration for its title, is a new series Kawauchi began shooting in 2019. The letters stand for ''Mother'' and ''Earth,'' combining to form both ''Mother Earth'' and ''Me.'' At a glance, the series’ images of Iceland’s volcanoes and ice floes and Hokkaido’s snowy landscapes may seem distant and unrelated to the everyday scenes from the COVID-19 pandemic that accompany them in the series. However, both types of image depict events now taking place on the planet we live on, and Kawauchi’s artistry alerts us to the connection between them. This exhibition invites the viewer to reconsider a range of questions about the workings of human life and our relationship with nature. In this exhibition catalog, Kawauchi herself has composed a sequence that allows visitors to relive the three-dimensional exhibition space, from the core series of the exhibition such as the new ''M/E,'' the yet unpublished ''4%,'' and ''An interlinking'' with new images, to her latest video work. The exhibition also includes a conversation with Haruo Saji, who was an influence on Kawauchi’s practice, and three essays, of which one is written by Masatake Shinohara, exploring the current state of Kawauchi’s work through both imagery and text. By changing the format and paper for each series, despite its simple binding, the book becomes a multilayered volume that embodies the depth of the exhibition.

Summary:
Ari Marcopoulos is an Amsterdam-born photographer and filmmaker who often situates himself in the lives of people living on the edge. He shot this series during one February afternoon in Exarcheia, a neighbourhood in central Athens which is famously known as home to Greek anarchists. Through 352 colourful pictures of graffiti and crumbling concrete walls, a coherent urban portrait comes to light, as if Marcopoulos was scanning the area through his camera lens. The entire series remains unedited in the layout of the book, presenting an accurate reflection of a district that still preserves the memory of decades of resistance to state repression.

Summary:
En 2018, Maxime Brygo arpente plusieurs mois durant les plaines du sud du Vietnam, traversées par le fleuve Mékong. Originaire du nord de la France, il découvre dans son périple un autre "plat pays" , qui, comme le sien, fut en partie gagné sur la mer. Alternant la couleur et le noir et blanc, il parvient à capter l'aspect transitoire des paysages visités tout comme leur charge symbolique ancestrale. Flatland s'ouvre comme un recueil d'indices, d'autant plus happant que les photographies rassemblées confèrent à des sites a priori anodins une étrangeté, parfois une aura. Les lieux suggèrent ici des usages, des pratiques, des rituels, là des forces magiques, telluriques ou cosmiques dont les images restituent l'activité secrète.

Summary:
Sandra Rocha s'est inspirée des Métamorphoses d'Ovide pour concevoir et réunir les photographies de ce livre. Là où l'auteur classique fait état de l'ensemble des mythes où des êtres humains ou divins se métamorphosent en d'autres êtres de la nature, Sandra Rocha s'empare directement des mondes animal, végétal et minéral pour les mettre en relation dans une sorte de cosmogonie. La présence humaine se retrouve prise au même niveau que l'ensemble des autres éléments composant notre monde. Sandra Rocha interroge photographiquement ce qu'un philosophe comme Emanuele Coccia a pu développer dans ses derniers ouvrages : comment les éléments du vivant peuvent interagir les uns avec les autres tout en étant intrinsèquement liés au tout.

Summary:
« Ce livre est une plongée dans l’aspect le plus intime de ma production photographique. Depuis 2006, je tiens un journal visuel, attentif aux signes et à la recherche de fragments de ce qui constitue mon univers. Je poursuis les traces fragiles et éphémères des choses qui disparaissent rapidement, partout, tout le temps, ces choses, facilement trouvées, si difficilement retenues. Je vois ce journal comme un film sans scénario où l’œuvre prend forme sur ma table puis dans le livre. Chaque chapitre est un trajet, une tranche de vie accélérée, une captation de l’inlassable mouvement du monde. Une poignée d’étoiles fait notamment référence à mes prises de vues nocturnes durant le confinement, dans une volonté symbolique de transformer le chaos en cosmos. En plus des photographies, je joins de brefs textes, des extraits de mon journal. J’y vois là de nouvelles images, comme des planches contacts littéraires. »

Summary:
Master printer Michael Flomen brings his darkroom into the environment to create large-scale, avant-garde photograms in confluence with nature. Trading his camera for light-sensitive materials such as photographic paper, he works with water, fireflies, wind, rain, and other natural phenomena to create monumental photograms, revealing things we cannot see with the naked eye. With images that originate in streets to those forged in the wilderness, this monograph presents 182 images and eight critical essays that trace the evolution of Flomen’s vision. His message is particularly vital today, as we learn to mend our relationship with the environment.
