Summary:
For this photobook, Erik van der Weijde travelled to Pomerode, a municipality in the state of Santa Catarina, in southern Brazil. The settlement was founded by Pomeranian Germans in 1861, and is known as the most German city in Brazil, as the majority of its inhabitants are of German descent. In Pomerode, as in some other localities in southern Brazil, the German language is not considered a foreign language, but a Brazilian linguistic regionalism. Van der Weijde is therefore able to blend together several of his recurring themes, such as German history, architecture, and contemporary Brazil, in this series of images.

The first series ever realised by Italian photographer Olivo Barbieri, Flippers derives from his discovery of an abandoned, derelict pinball machine factory, and marks the starting point of his observations on visualising the superficial, which would lead to his artistic engagement with the uncertainty of the world’s surface.

Summary:
The first series ever realised by Italian photographer Olivo Barbieri, Flippers derives from his discovery of an abandoned, derelict pinball machine factory, and marks the starting point of his observations on visualising the superficial, which would lead to his artistic engagement with the uncertainty of the world’s surface. The fragmented pinball machines act as a cultural reminder, a throwback to the flashing momentum of the 1960s and ’70s, with rock music, science fiction, movie stars, and flower power. Published in its entirety for the first time, the pinball project was a formative experience for the photographer in his early years. Includes an interview with Barbieri and Francesco Zanot.

Summary:
"Les moisissures sont les ennemies numéro 1 de l'univers de l'archive.'Facteurs de risques", elles sont des "agents de dégradations" contre lesquelles la lutte est de mise. Dans ce contexte, leur potentiel créatif est injustement négligé. Il est pourtant exploité depuis l'aube des temps par l'homme qui utilise le pouvoir transformant des micro-organismes pour faire son pain quotidien, son vin, sa bière et tous ses fromages. Dans un texte de 1856 voué à encourager les rechercher sur la stabilité des procédés photographiques, le chimiste Victor Regnault, premier président de la Société française de photographie, insistait sur le fait que seul le temps pourrait juger de la permanence de tel ou tel procédé photographique. De la même façon, c'est avec le temps que se déploie et prend forme l'ouvrage des moisissures. Merveilles de l'oubli, succès de la négligence et du désintérêt, ces images, abîmées par une inondation ancienne, ont été privées de la lumière du jour pendant des années. La solitude de leur confinement, ajouté au ressources organiques inhérentes à leur procédé (gélatine, fécule de pomme de terre), a fournit un terreau idéal à une prolifération créative aléatoire. Aujourd'hui offertes à la contemplation, ces images bouleversées nous rappellent combien les qualités esthétiques d'une photographie sont décidément indépendante d'une volonté artistique." -- Luce Lebart

Summary:
In the 1930s, German photographer Werner Mantz was commissioned to produce an extensive series of photographs documenting the Limburg coal mines. From his studio in Maastricht, he photographed major works of industry and technology in the Dutch province, including commissions to document the regional network of roads and various state mines. Forgotten for a time, the legacy of this work, done in the style of New Objectivity, re-emerged in the 1970s and has since been thoroughly researched. Presented here as an important historical document, his photos depict a glorious industrial era which we can now look back upon from a different perspective.

Summary:
Water and air. So very commonplace are these substances, they hardly attract attentionand yet they vouchsafe our very existence. The beginnings of life are shrouded in myth: Let there water and air. Living phenomena spontaneously generated from water and air in the presence of light, though that could just as easily suggest random coincidence as a Deity. Let's just say that there happened to be a planet with water and air in our solar system, and moreover at precisely the right distance from the sun for the temperatures required to coax forth life. While hardly inconceivable that at least one such planet should exist in the vast reaches of universe, we search in vain for another similar example.
