The Dolomites have existed for the past 250 million years, and the material of which they are formed originated in the depths of the oceans. Barbieri interprets them as symbolic, moving forms, and in the line of the summits sees a "story of the world seen upside-down". Barbieri’s work invites the observer to reflect on the environment and the ecological sustainability of these extraordinary examples of natural architecture.

Summary:
With his photographs of telephone cables rigged in an otherwise pristine Vietnamese jungle, or utility poles and wires strung across Niigata's snowy landscape, Leipzig-based photographer Hans-Christian Schink (born 1961) has documented the clash between civilization and nature for over three decades, exerting a major influence on the German photographic scene. He first garnered attention for his series 'Verkehrsprojekte Deutsche Einheit,' for which he spent seven years documenting new traffic-related constructions in eastern Germany. Regardless of location, Schink's images bear testimony to humankind's brutal inscriptions upon the environment--damage to which they draw particular attention through the careful omission of human presence. Schink's avoidance of more overtly critical content only further intensifies the memorability of his photographs. This publication surveys the artist's work from 1980 to the present day.

Summary:
Moments spent in elevators, check-ins at airports, subway rides-these are all examples of the kind of "in-between" time that fascinates Walead Beshty and supplies material for his photographs. "In-between time" applies to civic space, too-depopulated modernist housing developments that sit precariously between evacuation and demolition, plants, weeds and vegetation on isolated highway medians, or abandoned shopping malls. More recently, Beshty's adventures in "the in-between" have become a means of production, as he makes creative use of such mundane procedures as air travel or sending a package. This monograph presents a ten-year overview of Walead Beshty's approach to photographic and sculptural representation, and contains newly commissioned essays by Suzanne Hudson and Nicolas Bourriaud, as well as a conversation between Bob Nickas and Beshty.

Summary:
La villa Noailles a souhaité arrêter un instant Iwan Baan, un étonnant voyageur qui ne cesse de parcourir la planète pour repérer et capturer certaines architectures du temps présent, afin de saisir la vie qui se déroule avec elles. Ces 52 regards photographiques sur 52 semaines sont autant d'étapes de son parcours sans fin autour du globe. Ce qui l'intéresse, c'est cette vie qui se joue dans et autour de ces nouveaux édifices tels que le 1 1 1 1 des architectes Herzog & de Meuron à Miami, ou l'Académie des arts de Wang Shu en Chine, mais aussi le musée Knut Hamsun en Norvège de Steven Holl, l'opéra Za-Koenji de Toyo Ito à Tokyo... Ces architectes, et d'autres, témoignent généreusement ici du rôle singulier tenu par Iwan Baan dans la photographie d'architecture ainsi que des liens en mutation entre les deux disciplines.

Summary:
Ernst Schwitters (1918-1996) began his career in photography in his teens, converting the family bathroom into a darkroom with the consent of his parents, Kurt and Helma Schwitters, at the age of 15 - by which time Ernst was already experimenting with photograms, following a visit from family friend Man Ray. His father encouraged him to undergo formal training in photography, but Ernst declined, preferring to teach himself, and by 1930 he was already participating in international exhibitions, having found his preferred subject matter in the landscapes of Norway and England. Having led the Schwitters family's migration from Nazi Germany to Norway, Ernst was to receive great acclaim there for both his landscape and architectural photography, and was also able to establish financial security through assignments for the Norwegian advertising agency SS-UNU-Foto. It is little known that Schwitters is one of color photography's pioneers: he began working with color film in 1943, and within two decades, he had created more than 10,000 slides, many of which have been digitally restored for this new volume. The only monograph on the photographer currently in print, the publication debuts Schwitters' vast oeuvre of color landscape photography, and also includes a fascinating account of the digital restoration process that allowed for their publication here.
