Summary:
The Radical Camera explores the fascinating blend of aesthetics and social activism at the heart of the Photo League, tracing the group's left-leaning roots and idealism to the worker-photography movement in Europe. Influenced by mentors Lewis Hine, Berenice Abbott, and Paul Strand, artists in the Photo League worked within a unique complex comprising a school, a darkroom, a gallery, and a salon, in which photography was discussed as both a means for social change and an art form. Presenting 150 works of the members of the Photo League alongside complementary essays that offer new interpretations of the League's work, ideas, and pedagogy, this illustrated book features artists including Margaret Bourke-White, Sid Grossman, Morris Engel, Lisette Model, Ruth Orkin, Walter Rosenblum, Aaron Siskind, W. Eugene Smith, and Weegee, among many others.

Summary:
Appropriated Landscapes explores the landscapes of Southern Africa, through photography and video from artists including David Goldblatt, Santu Mofokeng, Jo Ractliffe, Penny Siopis and Guy Tillim. By examining the effects of war, migration, colonisation, industrialisation and ideology on South Africa, Namibia, Angola and Mozambique, this book reveals the varied histories of these regions and their peoples. Landscape - both in Southern Africa and beyond - shows itself as ultimately a construct of the mind, composed as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock.

Summary:
Les photographies possèdent l'étrange pouvoir d'orienter notre vision du monde et d'influencer notre manière de percevoir la réalité. Pour témoigner de l'influence à la fois profonde et unique qu'exerce la photographie sur la culture et la société, Photo Icons passe les grandes étapes de l'histoire de la photographie au microscope. Chaque chapitre de cette édition spéciale se concentre sur une seule image, décrite et analysée en détail, en la replaçant dans son contexte esthétique, historique et artistique. Le livre s'ouvre sur les toutes premières images durablement fixées (l'héliographie de Nicéphore Niépce, vue prise de la fenêtre de son cabinet de travail, obtenue en 1827 suite à une exposition de 8 heures, ainsi que la célèbre scène de rue de Louis Daguerre, prise en 1839) pour conduire le lecteur jusqu'à l'avant-garde de la photographie des années 1920, comme la Mère migrante de Dorothea Lange (1936) et le Baiser de l'Hôtel de ville de Robert Doisneau (1950), jusqu'à la " nouvelle photographie européenne " de Martin Parr.

Summary:
Se plaçant résolument sur le terrain de l'écart et du corps, c'est-à-dire d'une expérience quasi physique et littérale de la photographie, Denis Bernard reconsidère l'ensemble de ce qui la fonde et l'oriente, et notamment ses invariants techniques. Que nous dit Denis Bernard ? Qu'il y a un "angle mort de la photographie". Standards, normalisations, dispositifs et dispositions, en s'imposant, ont figé peu à peu les choses. L'aventure, dès lors, consiste à regarder, ressentir ou penser différemment le "fait technique". D'où la nécessité de remettre en cause "toute décision qui a conduit à ne pas voir" et d'opérer un glissement singulier du centre vers le bord ou l'épaisseur de l'image. On visera ainsi à préparer des "pièges à lumière perdue", à scruter "l'à côté de la plaque", à traquer des "seuils de transparence", à saisir "l'empreinte d'un coup de foudre" ou inventer des "machines à voir". Nouvelle donne: il s'agit de photographier autrement. De "voir encore, dedans et au-delà". De privilégier les "brouillons acharnés" d'une "nouvelle étreinte".
