Summary:
''I’m so happy you are here'' presents a much-needed counterpoint, complement, and challenge to historical precedents and the established canon of Japanese photography. This restorative history presents a wide range of photographic approaches brought to bear on the lived experiences and perspectives of women in Japanese society. Editors Pauline Vermare and Lesley A. Martin, curator and writer Takeuchi Mariko, and photo-historians Carrie Cushman and Kelly Midori McCormick provide a critical historical and contemporary framework for understanding the work in three richly illustrated essays. Additional context is provided by an in-depth illustrated bibliography by Marc Feustel and Russet Lederman, and a selection of key critical writings from leading Japanese curators, critics, and historians such as Kasahara Michiko, Fuku Noriko, and others, many of which will be published in translation for the first time. While this book does not claim to be fully comprehensive or encyclopedic, its goal is to provide a solid foundation for a more thorough conversation about the contributions of Japanese women to photography—and an indispensable resource for anyone interested in a more robust history of Japanese photography.

Summary:
A survey of contemporary image-making, "Image ecology" marks the beginning of a long-term consideration of nature and ecology in current fine art photography through shows at C/O Berlin. In an attempt to document the systemic causes of the climate crisis, the works included in this volume explore their own material and social conditions. The 12 contemporary artists featured employ experimental and traditional historical processes as well as new technologies. "Image ecology" dissects photography as an ecological practice, a medium that is defined as much by the nexus of material, labor, energy and waste that its production and circulation require as by what it represents. Featuring an extensive essay by environmental historian Jason W. Moore, and contributions by over a dozen international writers, the book even unpacks its own production process: from material supply chains and working conditions to wrapping and postage.

Summary:
Since the invention of photography in the nineteenth century, Africa has been defined largely by Western images of its cultures and traditions. From the colonial carte de visite and ethnographic archive to the rise of studio portraiture and social documents of racial surveillance, the fraught relationship between Africa and the photographic lens has become inseparable from the discourses of post-colonialism. Challenging these dominant images of exoticism and otherness, this book illustrates how photography has allowed artists to reimagine African histories through the lens of the present, to shape our understanding of the contemporary realities we face. Bringing together a diverse range of artists and thinkers to present varied perspectives on issues such as cultural heritage and restitution, spirituality, urbanism and climate change, it reveals how innovative contemporary photography challenges perceptions of history, culture and identity.

L'« album » de l'exposition conçue par le Jeu de Paume qui propose de manière chronologique, à travers des photographies d'une trentaine d'auteurs, un regard subjectif sur l'évolution des pratiques sportives depuis la fin du XIXe siècle. Des athlètes mis en scène par l'atelier Nadar à Clint Eastwood photographié avec un ballon de football par Xavier Lambours, les rapprochements entre les sportifs et les photographes prennent des chemins de traverse dans la collection de la Médiathèque du patrimoine et de la photographie (MPP). Le sport et la compétition, mis en lumière en cette année d'olympiades en France, fournissent une occasion unique d'exhumer des images rarement montrées. Celles-ci mettent en relation des photographes travaillant à la commande ou menant des projets personnels, qu'ils soient écrivains-photographes, comme Émile Zola, photoreporters, comme Guy Le Querrec et Renée Falcke, illustrateurs, comme René-Jacques, ou plasticiens, comme Gladys

"Committing to paper the movements, postures, and words of the people I meet gives me the illusion that I am close to them. I don’t speak to them, I only watch them and listen to them.

Summary:
"Committing to paper the movements, postures, and words of the people I meet gives me the illusion that I am close to them. I don’t speak to them, I only watch them and listen to them. Yet the emotions they arouse in me are real. I may also be trying to discover something about myself through them, their attitudes or their conversations." Taking Annie Ernaux’s unique artistic endeavour to "describe reality as through the eyes of a photographer and to preserve the mystery and opacity of the lives I encountered," this project by writer and curator Lou Stoppard uncovers the profound ways the written and visual image can inform and inflect on one another. In doing so, it proposes a new way of thinking about literature and photography, and the ways in which shared themes – such as class, travel, social stereotypes, and individual identity within the modern urban environment – might be explored between these two forms.

Summary:
From scientific discoveries to animist beliefs, plants are an inexhaustible source of stories that reveal our most intimate desires and fears. Photography is the primary witness to his phenomenon. ''Science/Fiction'' questions human projections and representations of the vegetal world, bringing to light the subjectivity, intelligence and expressive abilities of plants. The publication traces a visual history of plants, linking art, technology and science from the mid-19th century to the present day through two conceptual frameworks: scientific and fictional. Bringing together more than 30 artists across different periods of time and parts of the world, it employs the logic of the science fiction novel, taking us from a stable, identifiable world and gradually plunging us into uncertain landscapes.
