Summary:
"aphasia" is divided into the four seasons, ver (spring), hiems (winter), autumnus (fall), and aestas (summer), symbolizing in this context the various stages that bridge the moments before, during, and after transformational moments. The linearity of the seasons is disrupted throughout the book through the use of translucent pages, highlighting their transformation. In ver the book opens with a stream of dreamy and very light images, representing peace and stasis, these are the moments before. In hiems, the pallet turns very cold, the images are set on black, with various figures in states of flight or distress. Autumus presents moments of both discovery and decay, dual aspects of healing processes, and finally, aestas, features a return to the vitality of the outside world.

With steps leading down to the water’s edge, stepwells are inverted buildings that descend several stories below ground. Often, they are as monumental and ornate as a church, and this is intentional. They are a source of water, a gathering space, and a temple all at once. Stepwells create a visual and spatial experience unlike any other, in which the below-ground remains(...)

Summary:
With steps leading down to the water’s edge, stepwells are inverted buildings that descend several stories below ground. Often, they are as monumental and ornate as a church, and this is intentional. They are a source of water, a gathering space, and a temple all at once. Stepwells create a visual and spatial experience unlike any other, in which the below-ground remains connected to the sun and sky above. There are thousands of stepwells across the Indian Subcontinent, many of them 500-1,000 years old, each one different from the other. Most lie abandoned and overlooked, in varying states of preservation or, more often, disrepair, but they remain beautiful and compelling. The 48 photographs in this book were made across India to convey the beauty and diversity of these structures and the striking ambiances they elicit. A brief text accompanies the images to provide history and context, interspersed with several architectural drawings by Tanvi Jain. The images seek to give readers a sense of what it feels like to immerse oneself in such a unique, meditative space, and to be impelled towards the very source of life: water.

Summary:
For Denise Scott Brown (born 1931), who is among the most important architects of the postwar era, photography has long served as a critical medium through which to perceive, document and think about the world in which designers operate. Fascinated by the ephemeral and the everyday, Scott Brown took photographs for fun, research and teaching, and later as a component of design and planning projects. Through the lens of her Alpa camera she sought to penetrate the irreducible complexities of life around her—and to make a case for the architect and planner's role in intervening within it. "Encounters" gathers an essential collection of Scott Brown's photography from the 1950s to the 1970s, presented here for the first time. The book focuses on the formative decades during which Scott Brown departed her childhood home of Johannesburg to study in London, traveled through Europe, moved to the United States, met her partner Robert Venturi and eventually developed the profound interest in postwar suburbia from which her most famous work, "Learning from Las Vegas", would emerge. Moving thematically rather than sequentially through Scott Brown's photographic oeuvre, "Encounters" opens up new ways of reading this body of work, presenting it less as a continuous historical record than as the product of a careful and studied practice of observation.

Summary:
Between agitation and lightness, Fusako Kodama depicts the effervescence of modern Japan. From 1960 to 1980, she captures the atmosphere of places and the energy of people.Movement is constant; disorder occurs at times; gestures are carefree and instinctive: Fusako Kodama captures forward momentum. Her spontaneous photographs summon surprising perspectives where subjects appear slightly out of sync. Between restlessness and lightness, Fusako Kodama portrays a certain effervescence of modern Japan. From 1960 to 1980, she captures the atmosphere of cities and villages inhabited by animated beings. Through her unusual and spontaneous framing, the prolific photographer casts a gaze that is both gentle and vibrant over twenty years of Japan. 1960-1980 is the first book by Fusako Kodama published in the West, where she is still relatively unknown. This work aligns with the ongoing efforts of Chose Commune, which aims to shed light on contemporary Japanese photographers beyond their country of origin.

Summary:
Artisanal production in Cairo takes place in open-air workshops and directly on the street. Stucco producers in the city are grouped into clusters where interior walls and facades are covered with patterns and serve as a catalogue of ornaments. The result is often chaotic and grotesque. Decorative styles of the Belle Époque are deconstructed and reassembled as a spatial collage, while symbols from pop culture are juxtaposed with historical forms. In his photos, Luc Merx reveals these unique aesthetics and diverse references to building practice and art history. The plaster casts reflect Egypt’s contradictory relationship to its colonial past, to modernity, and to the country’s own identity.

Beatriz Banha: Midday moon

Much like the moon, which does not cast its own light but reflects the sun’s, the photographs in ''Midday Moon'' appear to represent the world, but are, in fact, an echo of Beatriz Banha’s particular universe. This is a world seen askew: hands mid-gesture, textures half-revealed, objects both tactile and out of place. Banha’s presence is constant but never central.(...)

Summary:
Much like the moon, which does not cast its own light but reflects the sun’s, the photographs in ''Midday Moon'' appear to represent the world, but are, in fact, an echo of Beatriz Banha’s particular universe. This is a world seen askew: hands mid-gesture, textures half-revealed, objects both tactile and out of place. Banha’s presence is constant but never central. She operates just outside the frame, like a satellite held in orbit. The places that formed her, the house she grew up in, territories in and around Évora, everyday scenes and familiar spaces — are all touched by something unfamiliar: the agency of photography. Flash brings surfaces into sharp relief while casting doubt on their meaning. Obstacles impair our recognition of figures in portraits. Lush still-lives appear gift-wrapped in plastic bags. The scenes appear real enough, yet they feel slightly detached, as if lit by an otherworldly source. ''Midday Moon'' might be a study in perception. A kind of lunary where the moon is rarely seen, but rather what it lights up: a world estranged from itself. An elusive account, equally distanced and affectionate, of the relationship between the real world and Banha’s own, in which photography acts as our interpreter.

Summary:
Is nature a place, an all-encompassing system, or an ideal that we carry within us? The work of Bas Ketelaars (NL) emerges from an interest in the problem of representing nature. A nature that is unreachably far away and yet all around us. Ketelaars explores the landscape in a personal and experiential way, interested in both the means of photography and drawing, in order to create images where different systems produce the image together. "Edges of landscape" is a work in itself in which Ketelaars combines his photographic material with drawings in an experimental manner for the first time.

Summary:
Well known for his photography of landscapes and suburban housing, and for his use of detail and luminous color, acclaimed American photographer Todd Hido casts a distinctly cinematic eye across all that he photographs, digging deep into his memory and imagination for inspiration. Newly revised and expanded, ''Intimate Distance: Over Thirty Years of Photographs, A Chronological Album'' includes ten years of new work since the book’s first publication, including breathtaking new images from his travels to Iceland, Norway, and Japan, where he brings both a familiar eye and an expansive new vision. Though Hido has published many smaller monographs of individual bodies of work, this gathers his most iconic images, along with many unpublished works to provide the most complete and comprehensive monograph charting his career. The book is organized chronologically, showing how his series overlap in exciting ways. David Campany introduces the work and looks at the kind of cinematic spectatorship the work demands.

Summary:
Invited to exhibit on the Mauvoisin Dam in Switzerland, Camille Llobet created a photographic series capturing a glacial landscape in transition. Shot on and around the moraines of the Mer de Glace, the images reveal a layered world of rock, ice, and sediment - remnants of a largely vanished glacier. Through diptychs that often exclude the sky and horizon, Llobet invites viewers to re-experience the scale and materiality of this grey-toned terrain. The book also features an in-depth interview with Jean-Paul Felley, in which Llobet discusses her working process, collaboration with geomorphologists, and the choreography of mountain landscapes in flux. This is the 11th artist's publication in conjunction with the yearly summer exhibition in the area of the Mauvoisin Dam in Vallais, Switzerland, curated by Jean-Paul Felley. Design: Roger Willems.
