Sofia Borges: The swamp
$45.25
(available in store)
Summary:
“Reality as mud as dense as air” reads the spine of Sofia Borges’ book 'The Swamp', and equally, the series of photographs that she presents is as leaden as it is impenetrable. Spanning a seven-year period, it largely records Borges’ countless visits to natural history museums, zoos, aquariums and research centres, where the artifice of reality became her point of focus.(...)

Summary:
“Reality as mud as dense as air” reads the spine of Sofia Borges’ book 'The Swamp', and equally, the series of photographs that she presents is as leaden as it is impenetrable. Spanning a seven-year period, it largely records Borges’ countless visits to natural history museums, zoos, aquariums and research centres, where the artifice of reality became her point of focus. For Borges, displays such as habitat dioramas serve as the ultimate form of representation, where objects have the virtuous task of representing “themselves” – a type, genre or group that is inherently bound to language through layers of history and meaning. As a motionless walrus lies in its plastic Antarctic locale and the beady eye of a fossilised bird catches your glance, what glares back at you from the depths of 'The Swamp' is not the thing itself, but the image, of an image, of an image.

Summary:
Hiroshi Sambuichi deciphers the relationships between moving materials (wind, air, water, sun) and topography in an effort to derive the optimal building for a specific site. With his very local approach to architecture, the Hiroshima-based architect has gained a reputation for painstaking investigations into site and context before beginning the design process on each of his projects. He believes it is the appropriate strategy, even if one pursues answers to global concerns. Recently, he has focused particular energy on works related to the Japanese city of Setouchi, featured in this book, which coincides with his exhibition at the Setouchi Triennale 2016.

Summary:
Due to the economic importance of its major employer, the city of Koromo changed its name to Toyota in 1959. The Homi public housing development in Toyota City opened in 1975 and was then a highly desirable residence for many families. Today it is home to a large population of Brazilian immigrants, who came to the area to work at Toyota and related manufacturing jobs, but are now often the first to lose those jobs due to recession. Architecture and the ways that people live continue to be Van der Weijde’s main themes. The absence of people in these photographs cover them with a spooky layer, even more when one knows that over 11,000 people live in this estate.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage propose une plongée dans l'ensemble de l'oeuvre de cette photographe précoce et intense dont les photographies sont des énigmes visuelles poétiques et étranges qui, malgré la brièveté de sa production, n'a cessé d'influencer la création contemporaine. " Elle a 22 ans, elle a pleinement conscience du désordre qui l'anime ; elle cherche sa place, presque gouluûment, en utilisant quasi exclusivement son corps dans ses images, ainsi je suis toujours à portée de main, explique-t-elle, quand l'urgence de la représentation se manifeste. La décrépitude des intérieurs, les miroirs qui permettent de voir la face cachée des choses, les coins et recoins constituent le cadre de ces performances où un corps évolue, fantomatique et drôle, pour celle qui affirme ainsi des liens plus qu'intimes avec l'appareil photo. Serait-elle un ange ? La question la taraude. Elle y revient régulièrement : une créature invisible, en apesanteur, sans problèmes ni avec l'espace, ni avec le langage, c'est peut-être une solution.

Summary:
“We can think about the negative without being able to see it.” Thus begins photographer Hennric Jokeit’s series of negative images, which challenges our eyes and brain to focus, taking time to adapt and virtually decipher what we are seeing. Confronted with negative depictions of urban and natural landscapes, interior scenes, and buildings and objects, the viewer is asked to concentrate on the singularity of each image, to translate dark into light and vice versa. As such, it allows us to focus more clearly on aspects like composition and formal arrangement within the frame of the image, levels of comprehension that are often overlooked. With an essay by Philip Ursprung.

Summary:
The first book release by young Swiss photographer Peter Hauser shows his straightforward, analog black and white pictures of nature and urban landscapes that yield a distinctive observation of perceptual phenomena: rectangles float; shadows fall into hard-edge shapes; surfaces reveal patterns and unlikely grids. Photographer Edward Weston drew a distinction between making pictures to learn about the world and those that impose a vision upon it. It was his intention to make pictures, he once said, not as “an interpretation, a biased opinion of what nature should be, but a revelation — an absolute, impersonal recognition of the significance of facts.”. Peter Hauser's work is subscribing to this mantra.

Summary:
Alexandra Leykauf studied audio-visual media and photography, and is based in Berlin. In her work, she appropriates the gender-oriented or feminine cultural gaze via the medium of photography, playing with varying degrees of appropriation in order to reveal the superficiality of images. Leykauf often deconstructs various features of photography and cinema, thereby revealing the complexity inherent to the construction of images. This substantial artist’s book presents numerous of these appropriations and deconstructions, along with critical texts by Dominikus Müller, Jonathan Pouthier, Robert Barry, and Maria Barnas. A conversation with Leykauf completes this in-depth analysis.

Summary:
Where pictures stop being photography and become images. Olivo Barbieri has been working to represent space, especially urban space, since the 1970s. Various series of images document his research in this book. They include Viaggio in Italia, from the 1980s, a project directed by Luigi Ghirri; China (Far East), which looks at the big changes on the Asian continent; and Site Specific, a sequence of shots taken from a helicopter flying above the world’s major cities, which made him internationally renowned. The book retraces Barbieri’s themes and exploration, underscoring his constant attention to the idea of perception and his ability to envision and interpret reality. He casts quite some doubt over the conventional modes of representation through photography.
