Summary:
Challenges conventional habits of discussing image, identity, and photography. In National Camera, Roberto Tejada offers a comprehensive study of Mexican photography from the early twentieth century to today, demonstrating how images have shaped identities in Mexico, the United States, and the borderlands where the two nations and cultures intersect—a place Tejada calls the shared image environment. The “problem” of photography in Mexico, Tejada shows, reveals cross-cultural episodes that are rife with contradictions, especially in the complex terms of cultural and sexual difference. Analyzing such topics as territory, sexuality, and social and ethnic relations in image making, Tejada delves into the work of key figures such as Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Edward Weston, Tina Modotti, Marius de Zayas, and Julien Levy, as well as the Agustín Víctor Casasola Archive, the Boystown photographs, and contemporary Mexican and Latina photo-based artists.

Summary:
Loved, hated, revered, scorned, real, imagined: this is Los Angeles. "Looking at Los Angeles" is a fascinating journey into the centre of the city’s heart and soul. Pictured within its pages is a Los Angeles of powerful dreams and startling realities. Editors Marla Hamburg Kennedy and Ben Stiller have gathered pictorial representations of Los Angeles from the last three-quarters of a century, resulting in this selection of more than 200 stunning, beautifully reproduced colour and duotone depictions of the city from different eras and different points of view. Along with the carefully chosen images by approximately 100 photographers who have time again turned to Los Angeles for inspiration, a preface and foreword by the editors describe their great affection for the city, while David L. Ulin’s essay offers a critical and loving look at Los Angeles. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Los Angeles Conservancy, and the organization provides an essay about the importance of saving this city's rich architectural heritage. "Looking at Los Angeles" is at once a lesson in history, architecture, style, and culture, and a remarkable visual and written tribute to one of America’s greatest cities. Includes photographs by: Robert Adams, John Baldessari, William Claxton, Will Connell, Joe Deal, John Divola, William Eggleston, Sam Fentress, Anthony Friedkin, John Humble, Dennis Keeley, Florian Maier-Aichen, Grant Mudford, Karin A. Mueller, Catherine Opie, Ed Ruscha, Stephen Shore, Julius Schulman, Joel Sternfeld, Timothy Street-Porter, John Swope, Andy Warhol, Julian Wasser, Robert Weingarten, Garry Winogrand, Max Yavno, and others.

Le quartier de la Maladrerie, à Aubervilliers en Seine-Saint-Denis est l’une des réalisations les plus remarquables de l’architecture urbaine de la fin des années 1970. 'La Mala', comme ses habitants l’appellent, a été imaginé par Renée Gailhoustet. En 2017, l’artiste Julie Balagué s’y installe. Depuis, elle y vit et y travaille. Elle est allée à la rencontre des habitants, des passants et des associations du coin. De courts textes poétiques de la romancière Fanny Taillandier, inspirés des témoignages recueillis par la photographe, accompagnent la série d’images. En fin d’ouvrage est inséré un livret qui rassemble deux textes plus contextuels et théoriques de l’architecte Katherine Fiumani d’une part et de l’historienne de la photographie, Raphaële Bertho.

Summary:
This volume considers how contemporary photographers have responded to the US military’s impact on the domestic environment since the 1970s, a dynamic period for environmental activism as well as for photography. This catalogue presents a lively range of voices at the intersection of art, environmentalism, militarism, photography, and politics. Alongside interviews with prominent contemporary artists working in the landscape photography tradition, the images speak to photographers’ varied motivations, personal experiences, and artistic approaches. The result is a surprising picture of the ways violence and warfare surround us. Although most modern combat has taken place abroad, the US domestic landscape bears the footprint of armed conflict—much of the environmental damage we live with today was caused by our own military and the expansive network of industries supporting its work.

Ce nouvel opus de la collection Ré-Inventaire est l'occasion d'un voyage poétique à travers 40 ans de photographie. Comment rendre compte de l'expérience du mouvement, de la vitesse, du gigantisme des infrastructures ? Comment approcher la densité d'un maillage qui s'oublie dans l'habitude des transports. Les travaux présentés dans ce livre dévoilent la beauté brutale des réseaux, pointent les nervures du territoire et suspendent un instant les flux. Par leur approche formelle, ils proposent une lecture de ce qui souvent n'est plus regardé, les sédiments architecturaux laissés par le mouvement.

Summary:
Fondée en 1870, la Samaritaine est l’un des bâtiments les plus emblématiques de Paris présentant un subtil mélange d’Art déco et d’Art nouveau. En parallèle d’une grande campagne de production d’œuvres réalisées par une cinquantaine d’artistes, la Samaritaine a donné carte blanche aux photographes Pierre-Olivier Deschamps et Vladimir Vasilev, qui ont pu accéder au chantier entre 2015 et 2020, et suivre la métamorphose du bâtiment. Ce chantier est donc devenu pendant cinq ans le terrain de jeu des deux artistes. Pierre-Olivier Deschamps s’est intéressé à l’architecture, aux variations d’échelles et aux couleurs, extraordinaires, que le chaos organisé du chantier a créées. Vladimir Vasilev, quant à lui, s’est intéressé à la fois au chantier ainsi qu’aux hommes et aux femmes qui s’activaient dans cette fourmilière, offrant un visage aux multiples facettes à cette transformation.
