Summary:
Left London is a photographic portrayal of abandoned buildings across the capital that reveals an otherwise unseen side of city life. Having explored a multitude of sites and taken over twenty thousand images, the authors were able to assemble a unique collection of photographs vividly illustrating this evocative and beautiful subject. Furthermore, as well as extensive interior and exterior shots, the book also contains various items of ephemera found in situ, which provide an additional visual narrative. Like all cities, London has an established cycle of decay and renewal, however with the forthcoming 2012 Olympics, it is currently embarking on the most ambitious redevelopment plan in its history. In light of this, Left London takes on a particularly compelling and contemporary relevance.

En 1860 Haussmann créait la "commission historique de paris". C'est elle qui chargea Charles Marville de photographier, en 1865, les rues appelées à disparaître, puis, en 1877, les avenues nouvelles. Napoléon III accueillit cette initiative avec enthousiasme. "Ceci permettra de suivre à travers les siècles les transformations de la ville qui, grâce à votre infatigable(...)

Summary:
En 1860 Haussmann créait la "commission historique de paris". C'est elle qui chargea Charles Marville de photographier, en 1865, les rues appelées à disparaître, puis, en 1877, les avenues nouvelles. Napoléon III accueillit cette initiative avec enthousiasme. "Ceci permettra de suivre à travers les siècles les transformations de la ville qui, grâce à votre infatigable activité, est aujourd'hui la plus splendide et la plus salubre des capitales de l'Europe," écrira-t-il à son préfet. Les photos de Marville qui figent l'avant et l'après Haussmann sont non seulement d'une grande beauté, mais aussi d'une importance capitale: elles racontent la plus grande mutation qu'une ville ait jamais connue.

Summary:
Dès le début des années 1920, Paris s'affirme comme le lieu des avant-gardes de la photographie en Europe. Modèle de modernité au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale, la capitale devient un refuge pour les émigrants contraints à l'exil. Des photographes arrivés de l'étranger, tels Germaine Krull, André Kertész, Brassaï, Man Ray ou Berenice Abbott côtoient alors les Français Maurice Tabard, Roger Schall, Jean Moral, Emmanuel Sougez ou encore Pierre Boucher. C'est cette France de l'entre-deux-guerres, foyer de création où se rencontrent une multitude d'écoles photographiques, qui caractérise l'exceptionnelle collection réunie par l'historien et collectionneur Christian Bouqueret. Avec une sélection de 140 photographies, cet ouvrage propose un regard érudit et passionné sur la richesse formelle de cette "nouvelle vision photographique en France".

Summary:
Challenges conventional habits of discussing image, identity, and photography. In National Camera, Roberto Tejada offers a comprehensive study of Mexican photography from the early twentieth century to today, demonstrating how images have shaped identities in Mexico, the United States, and the borderlands where the two nations and cultures intersect—a place Tejada calls the shared image environment. The “problem” of photography in Mexico, Tejada shows, reveals cross-cultural episodes that are rife with contradictions, especially in the complex terms of cultural and sexual difference. Analyzing such topics as territory, sexuality, and social and ethnic relations in image making, Tejada delves into the work of key figures such as Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Edward Weston, Tina Modotti, Marius de Zayas, and Julien Levy, as well as the Agustín Víctor Casasola Archive, the Boystown photographs, and contemporary Mexican and Latina photo-based artists.

Summary:
Loved, hated, revered, scorned, real, imagined: this is Los Angeles. "Looking at Los Angeles" is a fascinating journey into the centre of the city’s heart and soul. Pictured within its pages is a Los Angeles of powerful dreams and startling realities. Editors Marla Hamburg Kennedy and Ben Stiller have gathered pictorial representations of Los Angeles from the last three-quarters of a century, resulting in this selection of more than 200 stunning, beautifully reproduced colour and duotone depictions of the city from different eras and different points of view. Along with the carefully chosen images by approximately 100 photographers who have time again turned to Los Angeles for inspiration, a preface and foreword by the editors describe their great affection for the city, while David L. Ulin’s essay offers a critical and loving look at Los Angeles. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Los Angeles Conservancy, and the organization provides an essay about the importance of saving this city's rich architectural heritage. "Looking at Los Angeles" is at once a lesson in history, architecture, style, and culture, and a remarkable visual and written tribute to one of America’s greatest cities. Includes photographs by: Robert Adams, John Baldessari, William Claxton, Will Connell, Joe Deal, John Divola, William Eggleston, Sam Fentress, Anthony Friedkin, John Humble, Dennis Keeley, Florian Maier-Aichen, Grant Mudford, Karin A. Mueller, Catherine Opie, Ed Ruscha, Stephen Shore, Julius Schulman, Joel Sternfeld, Timothy Street-Porter, John Swope, Andy Warhol, Julian Wasser, Robert Weingarten, Garry Winogrand, Max Yavno, and others.

Le quartier de la Maladrerie, à Aubervilliers en Seine-Saint-Denis est l’une des réalisations les plus remarquables de l’architecture urbaine de la fin des années 1970. 'La Mala', comme ses habitants l’appellent, a été imaginé par Renée Gailhoustet. En 2017, l’artiste Julie Balagué s’y installe. Depuis, elle y vit et y travaille. Elle est allée à la rencontre des habitants, des passants et des associations du coin. De courts textes poétiques de la romancière Fanny Taillandier, inspirés des témoignages recueillis par la photographe, accompagnent la série d’images. En fin d’ouvrage est inséré un livret qui rassemble deux textes plus contextuels et théoriques de l’architecte Katherine Fiumani d’une part et de l’historienne de la photographie, Raphaële Bertho.

Summary:
Chaque fois qu'il découvrait une nouvelle excentricité de son pays, mon grand ami américain Josh Ewing, rarement étonné, le plus souvent amusé et quelquefois consterné, s'exclamait : " Only in America ! " Ce qui voulait dire : " II n'y a qu'en Amérique qu'on peut voir ça !" Pour le meilleur et pour le pire. La société américaine toujours en marche (rarement en marche arrière malgré tout), toujours à la découverte d'une nouvelle frontière, valorise l'éclatement, l'exceptionnel et en définitive amalgame comme norme une certaine forme du déséquilibre. C'est ce qui, pour nous Européens, représente l'excès américain, un grain de folie qui, à la fois, découle et remet en question le monde moderne. Même dans ses formes les plus conservatrices, cette société intègre des éléments de fantastique, d'étrange, d'insolite.

Summary:
In "Photography and Japan", Karen Fraser argues that the diversity of styles, subjects, and functions of Japanese photography precludes easy categorization along nationalized lines. Instead, she shows that the development of photography within Japan is best understood by examining its close relationship with the country’s dramatic cultural, political, and social history. Through thematic chapters that focus on photography’s role in negotiating cultural identity, war, and the documentation of urban life, this publication introduces many images that will be unfamiliar to Western viewers and provides a broadened context for those photos that are better known.
