Summary:
Montreal, like other major cities, has inspired an astonishing number of photographers intent on capturing the urban experience. For some, the camera has served as a coping mechanism with which to process the difficult aspects of city life. For others, it has provided a recording device to save vital facets of Montreal from being forgotten. For others still, it has been a means of self-expression integral to a personal creative process. "Pounding the pavement" brings together thirty groups of work that exemplify the wide variety of approaches photographers have adopted when depicting the metropolis. What emerges from this unconventional assemblage is a history of Montreal, or at least a history of the ways Montrealers have used the street. The images occasionally reveal the city's beauty but more often convey its complexity, contradictions, diversity and comedy. Above all, they conjure the qualities that make some people want to leave Montreal and others want to stay forever.

Summary:
Montréal, comme d’autres grandes villes, a inspiré un nombre étonnant de photographes avides de capturer l'expérience urbaine. Dans certains cas, l'appareil photo a servi de mécanisme d'adaptation pour composer avec les difficultés de la vie en ville. Dans d'autres cas, il fut employé comme un outil de documentation, pour sauver de l'oubli des aspects essentiels de Montréal. Dans d'autres encore, l'appareil a été un moyen d'expression faisant partie intégrante d'un processus de création personnel. "Battre le pavé" réunit trente corpus d’œuvres qui illustrent les multiples approches adoptées par les photographes pour représenter la métropole. Il ressort de cet assemblage non conventionnel une histoire de la ville, ou du moins une histoire des façons dont les Montréalais et les Montréalaises se sont approprié la rue. Les images révèlent parfois la beauté de la ville, mais plus souvent, elles témoignent de sa complexité, de ses contradictions, de sa diversité et de son humour. Avant tout, elles évoquent ce qui pousse certaines personnes à vouloir quitter Montréal, et d'autres à vouloir y rester à jamais.

Summary:
As the Chinese Cultural Revolution ended in the mid-1970s, room for scientific freedom emerged, and Chinese paleoanthropologists turned their attention to the existence of Bigfoot- and Yeti-like mammals. This trend was fueled by widespread enthusiasm in Western countries for the same phenomena. The topic quickly captured the Chinese popular imagination, with scientists descending on mountainous areas of Hubei province to investigate reported sightings of a strange being called the Wildman or "Yeren" in Chinese. Officially sponsored research, followed by stories from amateur enthusiasts, sparked a nationwide phenomenon called Wildman Fever that would last for decades. Wildman Fever tells the story of this search that led a nation into a wilderness of fact and fiction. The images were selected from the collection of Chinese vernacular photography at the Archive of Modern Conflict, London.

Summary:
The Black Arts Movement brought together writers, filmmakers, and visual artists who were exploring ways of using art to advance civil rights and Black self-determination.

Des chantiers de construction de Berlin aux logements bâtis par Fernand Pouillon dans les années 1950 à Alger, le travail de Stéphane Couturier repense le rapport au médium photographique et à son caractère prétendument objectif. Par un principe de combinaison de plusieurs clichés, l'artiste propose, avec une grande diversité de formes et de couleurs, de véritables constructions photographiques, proches de l'abstraction, tout en gardant un fort ancrage documentaire – créant ainsi une nouvelle architecture visuelle.

Summary:
Dès son essor, la photographie est inextricablement liée à l'écologie – par sa matérialité et par ce qu'elle donne à voir. Ce livre présente quinze artistes qui tissent des liens avec des écosystèmes en mouvement. À travers cinq chapitres organisés autour de registres émotionnels, l'autrice met en perspective ces pratiques artistiques contemporaines avec l'histoire du médium photographique. Elle propose une entrée en matière, une invitation au dialogue, une mise en relation sensible et critique des images et de l'écologie. La collection « Superscripte » propose des textes introductifs et synthétiques sur des pratiques photographiques contemporaines dans toutes leur diversité, par le prisme d'une notion unique – l'exposition, la violence ou l'image-objet. En conjuguant des ouvrages écrits par des artistes, des chercheurs et chercheuses ou des critiques, il s'agit de valoriser les subjectivités personnelles et les compétences qui découlent des différentes manières de penser les images. Imaginée pour les photographes, les historien·ne·s de l'art ou un public amateur, cette série souhaite donner les clés pour appréhender certaines thématiques ou formes photographiques, omniprésentes dans la culture visuelle d'aujourd'hui.
