Summary:
Downtown Los Angeles has undergone a spectacular transformation over the last decade. The historic city center was given a face-lift, with new museums, skyscrapers, designer stores, restaurants and bars.

The photographer Désirée van Hoek, who had been working in the area since 2007, has recorded the changes in the district in over 200 images. The book contains interviews with the international experts Adrienne Brown, Cody Hochstenbach, Norman M. Klein, Saskia Sassen, Jennifer Wolch and Sharon Zukin, as well as an essay by the architect and urban planner Hans Teerds.

Summary:
Photographer Stefan Canham has visited the provincial town of Sapa in northern Vietnam repeatedly since 2011. Speaking with women from the surrounding mountain villages, he became obsessed with the small rectangular patches of cloth they were selling. Cut from traditional jackets and embroidered in abstract geometric patterns indicating the wearer’s village, the patches have become objects in transition between rural customs and international tourism. The town itself is also in transition: scores of slender new houses with eclectic facades are being erected, catering to the influx of tourists. Canham explores these two significant facets of material culture in a carefully thought out artist’s book.

Summary:
Cette publication est le second tome d’une aventure photographique singulière, autant par ses dimensions que par sa durée. Commencée il y a cinq ans, son ambition est de documenter de manière égale les 450 régions naturelles ou “pays“ composant le territoire français. Partant de ces petites entités géographiques et culturelles, Eric Tabuchi et Nelly Monnier s’attachent avec patience et minutie à décrire nos manières d’investir le paysage, de l’habiter, de le façonner. Les routes, les habitations, les commerces, les activités, la typographie des enseignes, les noms des villages : ils traquent à la fois les invariants, les choses typiques et les écarts à la norme - qui, croisés, définissent une physionomie de nos modes de vies et de nos identités.

Summary:
Valter Vinagre réunit dans cette publication un ensemble d’une cinquantaine de paysages photographiques réalisés dans tout le Portugal et liés aux épisodes de la guerre péninsulaire (1807-1814), qui opposa les troupes luso-britanniques à l’armée française de Napoléon lors de ses trois tentatives d’invasion du territoire portugais. Le photographe s’est transformé en historien, retrouvant dans les archives les lieux et les dates précises de l’avancée des armées napoléoniennes, informations qui lui ont servi de protocole pour poser son appareil là où était le lieu exact, à l’heure présupposée. Au lieu de se focaliser sur les symboles et les monuments historiques des invasions napoléoniennes, il s’attache à retracer une cartographie détaillée du territoire géographique et humain à partir des lieux qui furent les théâtres des batailles. Le livre s’ouvre sur une couverture mystérieuse, géographie des points visités tout autant qu’impacts meurtriers, pour inviter le lecteur à la découverte d’un Portugal secret qui suit la chronologie d’un autre temps.

This catalog presents the works of artist Stefano Graziani on display at the Pescheria visual arts center in Pesaro. These works come from different lines of research, some from past years (architecture and museum collections), others more recent (mushrooms and athletes in training), and particularly interesting is the link, sometimes subtle other times more articulated and complex, that binds the images together, in a continuous game of evocations and correspondences. The volume includes a conversation by Stefano Graziani with exhibition curator Alessandro Dandini de Sylva.

Summary:
Shot in Dungeness, on the coast of England, this series by Berlin-based photographer Shinichiro Shiraishi is influenced by memories of his childhood visits to his grandparents’ home in the Japanese countryside. It also reflects a realisation that emerged from his time there: that natural and human-made are both part of the landscape and a part of nature. The duality of Dungeness is replicated by the book’s design – images shimmer, black pages balance white, adder stones puncture paper. To visualise the coexistence between natural and artificial objects, 90 photos have been subjected to analogue and digital processes, bringing us closer to the emotions of this peripheral place.

Summary:
Nombreuses dans la presse, les photographies qui traitent de la justice demeurent rares dans les livres d’artiste. C’est pourtant l’objet de cet ouvrage de Thomas Klotz qui confirme sa palette de coloriste pour visiter « sa » justice. Car c’est bien d’un travail d’appropriation et non d’une simple exposition d’un système qu’il s’agit. Loin de toute ambition documentaire, ces images puissantes et incarnées révèlent le cœur et l’âme du milieu judiciaire, bien plus que son fonctionnement ou ses coulisses. L’exploration de cette notion passe par des lieux, des institutions, mais également par des personnes et des récits, dans l’approche plastique qui définit la photographie de Klotz. On retrouve son travail sur la puissance des couleurs, l’attention portée aux textures et à ces détails qui ouvrent sur des récits et des fragments de vie, autant d’indices de ce que peut être la justice aujourd’hui.

This project is a journey through the major photographic series that Juan Baraja (Toledo, 1984) has carried out over the past ten years. This journey, which takes in personal projects of his own and assignments commissioned by institutions, also allows us to trace the continuing evolution of a creative artist whose work is tautened by his particular relationship with architecture and strengthened by a working method in which projects are deliberately kept open and under review for long periods, until the time comes to put them together.

Summary:
In the wake of the Second World War, aiming to occupy the children rampaging streets and parks, the City of Amsterdam founded Jongensland, a space where boys (and the occasional, officially disallowed girl) could play, build, create, and destroy, largely without supervision. Without adult intervention, they relied on shared resourcefulness and collaborative ingenuity. In 1969, when Ursula Schulz-Dornburg moved to Düsseldorf with her two young children, she discovered Jongensland the other side of the border from Germany’s strictly regulated playgrounds. Fas¬cinated by the improvised buildings where her children would play, she made extensive photographs capturing them being constructed, used, demolished, and reshaped. This book presents Schulz-Dornburg’s largely unseen series alongside an ex¬tended alongside an extended essay by architectural historian Tom Wilkinson reflecting on the architectural themes and lessons Jongensland continues to offer.
