Summary:
It is the seemingly peripheral details and gestures that anchor this collection of images. Like the building they document, these photographs of the Drawing Matter Archive at the Shatwell Farm in Somerset are reflections of the project’s backgrounds, contextual minutiae, and footnotes. Taking the form of a three-way conversation between Hugh Strange (the archive’s architect), photographer Max Creasy, and architect and academic Elizabeth Hatz, this book offers a subtly poetic and expansive examination of the building, the collection it houses, and its place in the surrounding farm, as well as a wider evaluation of the built form.

Summary:
Une enquête photographique collective sur le sentiment d’appartenance à un territoire. Que signifie « être d’ici »? Partant du constat d’une société toujours plus fragmentée socialement et territorialement, le collectif de photographes LesAssociés a mené à l’échelle de la région Nouvelle-Aquitaine, une enquête qui vise à élargir cette question identitaire. Et si, à l’heure des nouveaux ensembles – régions, Europe –, nos identités étaient multiples? « D’ici, ça ne paraît pas si loin » invite à trois voyages – géographique, temporel et affectif –, autour de trois questions : quelle ruralité à l’ère des métropoles? quel horizon pour chacun? d’où se raconte l’histoire qu’un territoire inspire? S'incarnant dans une géographie abstraite qui dépasse les frontières du Sud-Ouest, ce livre mêle textes et images en renouvelant les idées de faire culture et de faire société.

Summary:
Le numéro 6 de la revueTransbordeur revisite cette histoire de la photographie aérienne en éclairant en particulier sa dimension politique et épistémologique. Dans cette perspective, nous privilégions la notion d’« image verticale » à celle, plus générique, de vue aérienne. Cette notion permet non seulement de renvoyer à un arrangement spatial spécifique, mais également de souligner les relations de pouvoir qui le soutiennent et le modélisent. À la fois représentation et matérialisation de rapports de domination coloniale et impérialiste ou de politiques de surveillance policière et militaire, l’image verticale est productrice d’un savoir qui forge ces rapports et les rend possibles. À l’inverse, dans une démarche militante ou citoyenne, elle peut fournir une preuve permettant d’exposer et de dénoncer la violence et l’illégalité des agressions commises par des acteurs étatiques et institutionnels.

Summary:
Despite the rich discourse surrounding it and the dynamic practice that it engendered, the photographic avant-garde in Japan only existed for a brief period during the 1920s and ’30s. Yet it also contributed to the continuation of the production of radical visual arts and played a key role in the education of a post-war generation of Japanese artists who came of age in the 1950s and ’60s. Initially centred around Osaka and the Kansai region, the movement was inspired by contact with the work of photographers and surrealists overseas, at first through magazines and photobooks and later by touring exhibitions in Japan. This catalogue presents an impressive visual history of the movement.

Summary:
Beginning in the 1990s, a series of major artists imagined the expansion of photography, intensifying its ideas and effects while abandoning many of its former medium constraints. Simultaneous with this development in contemporary art, however, photography was moving toward total digitalization. ''Lateness and longing'' presents the first account of a generation of artists—focused on the work of Zoe Leonard, Tacita Dean, Sharon Lockhart, and Moyra Davey—who have collectively transformed the practice of photography, using analogue technologies in a dissident way and radicalizing signifiers of older models of feminist art. All these artists have resisted the transition to the digital in their work. Instead—in what amounts to a series of feminist polemics—they return to earlier, incomplete, or unrealized moments in photography’s history, gravitating toward the analogue basis of photographic mediums. Their work announces that photography has become—not obsolete—but 'late,' opened up by the potentially critical forces of anachronism.

Summary:
Thoughtfully illustrated, this volume highlights a selection of photographs of African American family life between the 1970s and the early 2000s—pictures that were lost by their original owners and then found by the artist Zun Lee on a street in Detroit in 2012, marking the beginning of the Fade Resistance collection of more than 4,000 Polaroids. These vivid images chronicle milestones such as weddings, birthdays and graduations, as well as quiet daily moments, offering contemporary views long ignored or erased by mainstream culture. Together, these works highlight the role snapshots have played in Black life, as tools to challenge stereotypical portrayals and as a means to memorialize family, culture and heritage.

Summary:
Photography has always depended on the extraction and exploitation of so-called natural raw materials. Having started out using copper, coal, silver, and paper—the raw materials of analogue image production in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—photography now relies, in the age of the smartphone, on rare earths and metals like coltan, cobalt, and europium. The exhibition focuses on the history of key raw materials utilized in photography and establishes a connection between the history of their extraction, their disposal, and climate change. Looking at historical and contemporary works, it tells the story of photography as a history of industrial production and demonstrates that the medium is deeply implicated in human-induced changes to nature. The exhibition shows contemporary works by a range of photographers and artists, including Ignacio Acosta, Lisa Barnard, F Cartier, Susanne Kriemann, Mary Mattingly, Daphné Nan Le Sergent, Lisa Rave, Alison Rossiter, Metabolic Studio’s Optics Division, Robert Smithson, Simon Starling, Anaïs Tondeur, James Welling, Noa Yafe and Tobias Zielony, along with historical works by Eduard Christian Arning, Hermann Biow, Oscar and Theodor Hofmeister, Jürgen Friedrich Mahrt, Hermann Reichling, and others, and historical material from the Agfa Foto-Historama in Leverkusen, the Eastman Kodak Archive in Rochester and the FOMU Photo Museum in Antwerp as well as mineral samples collected by Alexander von Humboldt from the collection of the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin.
