Ce volume a pour ambition d’e^tre le premier ouvrage de re´fe´rence sur le travail de Wang Bing. Ce livre est le catalogue de l’exposition éponyme qui s’est tenue au BAL à Paris, du 5 mai au 22 août 2021. Pre´sentant 170 se´quences, issues de huit films re´alise´s au tournant du sie`cle (1999-2017), il met en exergue la singularite´ du langage cine´matographique de Bing et l’ampleur colossale et ine´dite de son projet anthropologique a` l’e´chelle d’un pays-continent ayant connu une transformation radicale de sa socie´te´. Au fil des pages se pre´cise l’attente, le doute et la concentration au travers d’un certain nombre de motifs temporels. Loin des grands re´cits magistraux ou des films de de´nonciation, le livre traduit par l’accumulation des images, des de´tails, des gestes la manie`re dont Wang Bing enregistre, lentement, patiemment, la pre´carite´ de ces vies dans l’intimite´ de leur corps-a`-corps quotidien avec la re´alite´.

Summary:
This publication explores the fringes of metropolitan India; places of construction, deterioration and places where landscape and urban development intersect. The photographs were taken during two months of fieldwork in late 2010, covering nine different cities across the country. Both the photographs and the essay examine the haphazard and often contradictory urban growth, and together they offer a glimpse of India’s present and future cities, and as such, the very frame within which the lives of more than 400 million people currently take place. Lars Rolfsted Mortensen is an architect and photographer based in Copenhagen, Denmark. His photographic works are indebted to the New Topographics and revolves around subjects such as urban transformation, infrastructure and the notion of ‘multiple modernities’ as witnessed in the geographically diverse trajectories of modern urban development.

Summary:
Of Indigenous origin, Peruvian photographer Martín Chambi (1891–1973) dedicated a large part of his life to photographing the Peruvian Andes, reclaiming the pre-Hispanic past through images of Inca ruins and portraits of life in Andean communities in the early 20th century. Chambi’s work brings a new perspective to photography of the time, highlighting the emerging Indigenous discourse that was starting to gain force in South America. While he was not the first to photograph Machu Picchu, Chambi was among the first Peruvian chroniclers of the Inca citadel. Drawing on Machu Picchu’s geometric forms, Chambi’s work entered a new phase in which shape, space and texture build toward more complex compositions and starker contrasts, making him an emblem of contemporary documentary photography in Peru and Latin America. This clothbound volume compiles 170 of Chambi’s black-and-white images.

Summary:
This publication by Sybren Vanoverberghe is a continuation of his visual research on artefacts and non ordinary sites. Its focus on the site of the port and the industrial landscape around it. In previous projects, Vanoverberghe shows statues and pillars made out of stone, ruins in desolated landscapes or nature in a constant state of transformation. For ‘Sandcastles And Rubbish’ a change in materiality took place, a change wherein Vanoverberghe investigates ‘new’ artefacts of our time. Rusted and bend steel, gravel pits, sturdy and raw structures flirt with composition and elegancy. Photographic works are presented alongside artefacts or ‘objets trouvés’. Questions are raised about the value of an object and how value changes as time passes by. Vanoverberghes work is characterised by a constant flux of place and time. Opening of the solo exhibition and book launch ‘Sandcastles and Rubbish’ at Keteleer Gallery opens the 4th of December in Antwerp. The exhibition will be on show until the 15th of January.

Summary:
This volume offers a brilliant account of Luigi Ghirri’s relationship with Puglia — a distinctive region at the heel of Italy, which was pivotal in establishing Ghirri’s career and continued to inspire him throughout it. A first visit in 1982 introduced Ghirri to Puglia’s whitewashed streets, luminescent nights, doorways, funfairs, and beaches, as well as a group of friends and collaborators. Over the following decade, he returned to the area almost every year, deepening his understanding of its subtle terrain. These photographs, almost all of which are little-known and previously unpublished, capture the textures and rhythms of daily life, delighting in tactile detail, visual coincidence, and the ebb and flow of time on an intimate scale.

Summary:
This comprehensive catalogue accompanies a worldwide touring retrospective exhibition of Thomas Demand’s work, focussing on four important areas of his oeuvre. Thomas Demand has spent the last two and a half decades bringing together his talents as both a sculptor and a photographer to capture the feedback loop between the world we inhabit and the photographic documents of it which lie at the root of our contemporary image culture. Bringing together a wide-ranging survey of photographs that span the arc of his career, The Stutter of History will provide both an overview of the artist’s way of seeing the world and lesson in how we might approach the onslaught of historical events that we consume through the world of images. This extensive book displays the breadth and depth of Demand’s artistic accomplishment, demonstrating in one volume why he is considered one of the world’s foremost contemporary artists. Includes a new short story by award-winning author Ali Smith written in response to a work by Demand, as well as an illuminating essay by Douglas Fogle, curator of the exhibition, and an essay by Margaret Iversen.
