Their photographs question the history, the divisions and paradoxes of the region and its inhabitants. From the photographers’ differing visual vocabularies, nationalities and cultural backgrounds, the picture that emerges is not a single, monolithic vision but rather a diverse and fragmented portrait.

Summary:
Wild or cultivated, rural or urban, solitary or within a forest, trees have long provided a compelling source of inspiration for artists and photographers alike. Both as stand-alone aesthetic objects and as symbols of broader cultural significance, trees have an understated, sometimes underappreciated, ability to evoke a deep, primal sense of wonder. Whether captured as functional botanical records or as a means of creative expression, "Into the Woods" is an introduction to the ways in which distinctive patterns of branch, bark, leaf, and root have continued to offer arresting subjects for photographers across the centuries.

Summary:
La production massive d’objets tend aujourd’hui à redéfinir la frontière entre les choses matérielles, prétendument inertes et passives, et l’être humain, considéré comme l’unique sujet doté d’agentivité. Loin d’être imperméable à cette redéfinition, l’image s’épand désormais hors de l’espace bidimensionnel : elle devient un objet en soi. Les artistes, auteures et auteurs du présent ouvrage s’intéressent ainsi aux univers qui se construisent entre les individus et leur environnement matériel, mettant en relief les rapports de réciprocité qui s’opèrent entre sujet et objet.

Summary:
'The Soviet Century' is a comprehensive new assessment of Soviet photography from the years 1917 to 1972. Over 500 photographs from the collection of Spain’s Archivo Lafuente present a deep survey of Soviet life through depictions of political meetings, factories, demonstrations and farms, as well as portraits of political leaders, artists, peasants and workers. This 600-page volume includes three historical essays that examine the complex artistic and ideological status of photography throughout the period, caught between state-led imperatives to achieve political ends and formal, artistic experimentation, especially with the 1920s avant-garde.
