Summary:
Ce projet débute en 1997 par une exposition sous chapiteau dans Shakhari bazar, dernière poche de diversité culturelle et religieuse de Dhaka, capitale du Bangladesh. Elle se composait de portraits d’habitants, restes inutiles d’un reportage mené en 1995/96. Le dernier jour, les photographies furent distribuées aux habitants, l’exposition prenant fin au fur et à mesure que chacun emportait son portrait. En 2001 et 2004, Saussier documente la dissémination de ses images dans les boutiques et les intérieurs, leur cohabitation avec les posters de cinéma, les images de la culture bengalie, les photos de familles. À cette occasion, il distribue également des portraits réalisés lors de l’exposition de 1997, qui représentent des habitants tenant à la main leur portrait de 1995/96. Ces couches d’images superposées forment le fil conducteur d’un processus d’une dizaine d’années – Saussier étant revenu une dernière fois en 2006 – qui paraît épouser le rythme cette rue-méandre fait de mouvements et d’attentes. À travers un texte d’introduction et des notations au fil de l’ouvrage, Saussier évoque le présent et l’histoire de Shakhari bazar, l’évolution et les modalités de son propre travail.

J'espère que tu vas bien. Le temps est froid. Il a gelé blanc. Je t'envoie une carte où tu vois le bâtiment en face de chez nous. Il n'y a plus de grue comme tu vois mais de belles pelouses. Ce sont de jeunes gens qui habitent là. Où il y la croix c'était le nova service ; maintenant c'est une école maternelle provisoire. Claudine s'est coupé la langue en tombant à l'école la semaine dernière. Elle a beaucoup saigné mais cela va bien maintenant. Toujours pas de nouvelles de Louis. Ils sont fainéants ! Le 11 novembre, nous avons été à Ranchères en voiture. Le gardien nous a conduits. Marie-paule est 9e sur 36. Elle travaille bien.

Summary:
"Lunar landscapes as far as the eye can see. Hills a gesture of abstraction. Rhythms full of emptiness. The melancholy of De Chirico. The loneliness of Friedrich. The yearning of Adams.

Summary:
"Lunar landscapes as far as the eye can see. Hills a gesture of abstraction. Rhythms full of emptiness. The melancholy of De Chirico. The loneliness of Friedrich. The yearning of Adams. The dead cities of Schiele. The timelessness of Cooper. Black squares, black beaches, black holes and, again and again, black sky." This is how essayist Harald Kraemer describes the German photographer Peter Schlör's stark, monumental images. Marked by powerful and austere compositions, the strongly contrasted black-and-white photographs do achieve a remarkable tension, as if to suggest that the viewer might be the last person on earth.

Summary:
Born in 1934 in Naples--where he still lives and works--Mimmo Jodice has been at the top of his profession, one of the great Italian masters of photography, for more than 45 years. This volume celebrates Jodice's architectural work, uniting his portraits of eight world capitals into a kind of self-portrait. Four of the cities have been the subjects of previous titles: Paris: City of Light; Inlands: A Vision of Boston; São Paulo and La città invisibile: Nuove vedute di Napoli; and four are new to print, including Rome, Moscow, Tokyo and New York. When Jodice's Medeterranean appeared, which includes some Rome images, the architecture critic Herbert Muschamp observed of it in the New York Times that "Mr. Jodice depicts a mythical place, a romantic intertwining of wholeness and solitude: the oceanic sensation of merger between a self and its surroundings." That impression of unity is as strong--if not as relaxing--in his contemporary urban landscapes as in his ancient ones. With text from Stefano Boeri of Domus magazine and an interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist. Jodice's previous books, in addition to those above, include Light, Eden and Tempo Interiore.

Summary:
The themes of protection, freedom and oppression appear consistently throughout Polish artist Joanna Piotrowska’s oeuvre. Through three photographic series, Stable Vices focuses on these notions to crystallise a spectrum of concerns that drive her work. One series is inspired by illustrated self-defence manuals and Psychology and Resistance by the feminist psychologist Carol Gilligan. A second series reveals precarious shelters made out of furniture and blankets, situated in domestic spaces. In a third series, Piotrowska focuses on cages and comparable spaces created for humans, drawing parallels between the lives of certain communities and animals, and the environments in which they live.

Summary:
Saul Leiter’s painterly images evoke the flow and rhythm of life on the midcentury streets of New York in luminous color, at a time when his contemporaries were shooting in black and white. His mastery of color is displayed in unconventional cityscapes in which reflections, transparency, complex framing, and mirroring effects are married to a very personal printing style, creating a unique kind of urban view; his complex and impressionistic photographs are as much about evoking an atmosphere as nailing the decisive moment. Leiter’s studio in New York’s East Village, where he lived from 1952 until his death in 2013, is now home to the Saul Leiter Foundation, which is undertaking a full-scale survey and organization of Leiter’s more than eighty thousand images with the aim of compiling his complete archive. This volume contains items discovered through this undertaking: valuable documents that reveal the secrets of Saul Leiter’s process, unpublished works, popular color works, black-and-white images that have never been published before, as well as images that hold the memories of those closest to him, taken in private. As Saul Leiter said, ''photographs are often treated as capturing important moments, but they are really small fragments and memories of the world that never ends.''

Summary:
Over the years Marianne Mueller has accumulated an archive of photographs taken both at home and on extended journeys. Completely nonhierarchical, the pictures capture whatever strikes the artist’s fancy. In STAIRS ETC, her archive has supplied the copious images of the designed and built world around us. Laid out in double-page blocks and organized by the simplest of categories (from chairs and tables to fountains and pools), the photographs emulate a pseudo-encyclopedic overview of ordinary objects captured with eloquent nonchalance and a discriminating eye for what we tend to write off as irrelevant and insignificant. Mueller invites us on a journey as absurdly comical as it is poetic, where we find ourselves meandering through the miracles and madness of a universe that is chock-full of things.

Summary:
Tout au long de ses soixante années de carrière, Franco Fontana a photographié ce que l’on ne voit pas, réussissant à fixer dans l’objectif une image « autre », détachée de la réalité, libérée du sujet représenté. Son travail sur la géométrie, les proportions et la composition lui a permis d’atteindre par paliers une synthèse conceptuelle qui est à la fois son langage personnel et sa manifestation formelle. Ce volume est le résultat d’une exploration minutieuse des archives de l’artiste, qui a fait émerger des clichés inédits, allant des recherches les plus expérimentales aux manifestations les plus libres de sa subjectivité, sans négliger pour autant les images iconiques qui ont rendu leur auteur célèbre dans le monde entier.
