Summary:
Luigi Ghirri aborde sérieusement la photographie en 1970. Utilisant d'emblée la pellicule couleur, exclusivement, il travaille à Modène et dans les environs de cette cité italienne. Durant toute la décennie, il crée un vaste répertoire d'images à partir duquel il élabore une réflexion originale sur le langage photographique et parcourt un certain nombre d'itinéraires poétiques à travers la culture et la géographie de l'Italie moderne. Dressant un panorama de l'oeuvre de Ghirri à partir des années 1970, le présent ouvrage regroupe quatorze séries différentes : les maisons et jardins de banlieue, les images publicitaires modernes, l'univers imaginaire des parcs d'attractions, les détails cartographiques d'un atlas.

Summary:
In "Domesticated Land" Susan Lipper navigates an apocalyptic world poised between inertia and the end of mankind, somewhere in the California desert. Uncannily tranquil, the landscape offers a trans-historical litany of monuments, icons and signs from which the author and protagonist constructs a narrative interspersed with the words of historic and contemporary women.(...)

Summary:
In "Domesticated Land" Susan Lipper navigates an apocalyptic world poised between inertia and the end of mankind, somewhere in the California desert. Uncannily tranquil, the landscape offers a trans-historical litany of monuments, icons and signs from which the author and protagonist constructs a narrative interspersed with the words of historic and contemporary women. Putting female subjectivity into relief, Lipper obfuscates the romantic notion of the desert as a land of freedom and self-enlightenment. A lone snake, a dilapidated home, the remains of a cinematic stage set, the head of a fallen woman, a military base, barbed wire: such facts create ?ction, and one that serves as an unnerving political admonition concerning the current state of America.

Summary:
To photograph avant-garde architecture is its own particular art, requiring careful attention to geometry, composition, lighting, and the ineluctable feel of a created space. In his famous photographs of modern architectural marvels, Marcel Chassot doesn’t merely capture a building’s appearance; he transports us to the space, recreating both its ambience and its grandeur.(...)

Summary:
To photograph avant-garde architecture is its own particular art, requiring careful attention to geometry, composition, lighting, and the ineluctable feel of a created space. In his famous photographs of modern architectural marvels, Marcel Chassot doesn’t merely capture a building’s appearance; he transports us to the space, recreating both its ambience and its grandeur. This volume assembles buildings designed by the giants of modern architecture—from Frank Gehry’s surrealist twists and stacks to Zaha Hadid’s formal speed and fluidity, from Beijing National Stadium to the Sony Center in Berlin and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in New York—offering a wealth of scenes from international contemporary architecture. Wolfgang Meisenheimer sheds light on the fundamental principles of Chassot’s photographic worldview and distinguishes between three layers of thought in which the work is rooted: the Euclidean orders, echoes of the modern philosophy of the lived body, and the legacy of Cubism from the beginnings of modern painting. With its felicitous interplay of brilliant architectural photography, exquisite design, and thoughtfully researched essays, this book is a total work of art.

Yoshihiko Ueda's work spans a broad range of photographic categories, from landscapes to nature, portraiture, and still life, and is characterised by his pursuit of the ''whole'' – capturing the very essence and energy of bodies and their environments. His oeuvre thus reflects a process of tracing topographies, especially when it comes to his images of forests, which he(...)

Summary:
Yoshihiko Ueda's work spans a broad range of photographic categories, from landscapes to nature, portraiture, and still life, and is characterised by his pursuit of the ''whole'' – capturing the very essence and energy of bodies and their environments. His oeuvre thus reflects a process of tracing topographies, especially when it comes to his images of forests, which he began making three decades ago. Conventionally attractive landscape photography holds no interest for Ueda, a fact that becomes clear as we are plunged into the depths of the Quinault Rain Forest in Washington State, the Yakushima cedar forests in southern Japan, and the virgin forest of the Kasuga Taisha shrine in Nara.

This artist’s book by Nico Joana Weber mounts an insightful and calculated photographic investigation into the dichotomy of rational (European) modernism in architecture versus the “irrational” proliferation of nature in tropical regions.

Summary:
This artist’s book by Nico Joana Weber mounts an insightful and calculated photographic investigation into the dichotomy of rational (European) modernism in architecture versus the “irrational” proliferation of nature in tropical regions. Citing a range of historical and cultural references, from Le Corbusier’s visits to Argentina and Niemeyer’s Brazilian modernism, to the Amazonian expeditions of Lévi-Strauss, her vast collection of images points to how the fragile balance between architecture, the body, and vegetation inherent to the tropics shifts the separation between nature and culture so crucial to the Western perspective into the realm of the impossible.

Summary:
For this book, Danish artist and photographer Kasper Akhøj documented the ongoing restoration of E-1027, Eileen Gray's modernist villa in France. Based on photographs taken by Gray which were first published in 1929, Akhøj's photographs are a kind of remake, recreating the perspective and composition of the originals. During several visits to the villa between 2009 and 2017, he produced up to six versions of each of Gray's images, but only included one of them here. The overlap of chronologies emphasises the restoration process and references the fascinating influence of a succession of occupants. With essays by Beatriz Colomina and Amy Zion, plus an interview with Akhøj.

Summary:
Depuis deux ans, la commissaire d’exposition Tina Dassault a invité 26 architectes du monde entier à édifier, sur la plage de Deauville, des constructions de sable. Ce projet s’inscrit au sein d’une véritable tradition de l’architecture éphémère, où le sable fait office de matériau, tel que dans les sand paintings des Navajos amérindiens, les mandalas tibétains, ou encore les sand castings de Nivola et du Corbusier. Il est l’occasion pour les architectes de renouer avec les gestes immémoriaux du bâtisseur, loin de leurs bureaux et de la technologie, tout en s’inscrivant dans la perspective du développement durable – Francis Rambert l’écrit : « le sable est devenu une denrée rare ». De ces constructions éphémères, qui disparaissent avec la marée, il ne reste que les photographies en noir et blanc de Michel Tréhet, devant lesquelles l’œil perd tout point de repère. « Le focus, le très gros plan, la plongée et la contre-plongée pénètrent en explorateurs des univers vierges.

Summary:
Son savoir résonne dans les couloirs de l'Institut de Saint-Pétersbourg et son esprit anime encore les centaines de chercheurs qui poursuivent son oeuvre. Il avait anticipé la disparition de la biodiversité végétale et, en quelques dizaines d'années d'étude et de voyages à travers le monde, avait trouvé les moyens de la sauvegarder. Pour des raisons politiques et idéologiques, Nikolaï Vavilov fut condamné à mourir de faim dans les sous-sols d'une prison d'URSS. De part et d'autre du rideau de fer, sa mémoire progressivement s'estompa. Cent ans après sa première expédition, le photographe Mario Del Curto retourne sur ses traces. Il rencontre ceux qui, envers et contre tout, perpétuent son travail de prospection, de sélection et de préservation des semences vivrières de la planète.
