Summary:
Fusing urban exploration with her trademark sense of wonder, famed videogame creator Ikumi Nakamura has spent over a decade infiltrating top-secret locations worldwide. Her daring escapades tap into a lost spirit of true adventure, proving that the world is still full of secrets and mystery, just waiting to be revealed. From derelict shipyards and military bases to colossal cooling towers, haunted hotels, and mystical islands, this book is packed with places you thought could only exist in videogames. Urban exploration is a way of life for those who choose it as their passion. The secrets and mysteries that disused places incite can be intoxicating and inspiring. As Nakamura has said, "I love breaking boundaries and making people say 'WOW.' As artists, we use our imagination to see the INVISIBLE." With a foreword by videogame designer-turned-photographer Liam Wong, "Project UrbEx" also features sections of Nakamura’s personal travel diaries, printed on pages with a narrower width in a rich Pantone black and illustrated by specially commissioned, exclusive manga—bringing her much-loved sense of humor to the forefront of the narrative and displaying her keen interest in exploring many mediums of creativity.

Summary:
The highly symbolic photographic language of Federico Clavarino’s ‘Italia O Italia’ weaves an intriguing narrative. It is the story of a complex nation whose ancient ruins cast shadows on the shards of a shattered present. The book’s images were scanned from the original chromogenic prints and then printed in the darkroom by the photographer himself. Born in Turin in 1984, Clavarino studied narration techniques at Alessandro Baricco’s Scuola Holden. In 2007 he moved to Madrid, where he currently lives and works as a teacher of photography at BlankPaper Escuela. This is his third photobook.

Summary:
Paul Hutchinson’s work (b. Berlin, 1987; lives and works in Berlin) conveys an intimate and unvarnished perspective, rendering the imperfections, incidental details, and human facets of urban culture. Fleeting moments and encounters often act as a base for his critical photographic practice. The central protagonists in his most recent project, titled Stadt für Alle (transl. City for All), are countless cranes, excavators, and construction signs. They are the tools that power the remaking of any city’s urban fabric – here Berlin mostly sets the example. Building pits constitute the foundation for farewells and new beginnings. Advertising banners for luxury developments vie against protest placards hanging limply on the façades of older buildings. The artist has compiled a pictorial atlas that prompts reflections on the transformation of the city and thereby gives form to the advancing gentrification, the constant feeling of threat and the increasing loss of inner-city street culture. Hutchinson’s writing complements the deft visual analysis of these processes: "The way you look at me, smiling while I’m losing my vision" is one such observation that, in conjunction with his images, opens up a space for interpretation and a probing inquiry into what urban life will mean in the future.

Summary:
The photographer Christine Erhard’s (b. Crailsheim, 1969; lives and works in Düsseldorf) work delves into the history of the depiction of architecture, and specifically of early-twentieth-century German modernism and constructivist and brutalist structures. Her compositions are inspired by archival research, in which she unearths photographs that typically show architectonic spaces, modernist buildings, or cityscapes. These two-dimensional images often become models for plastic constructions, which are themselves photographed so that different levels of reflection and reality overlap. In exhibitions, Erhard arranges her pictures in installations that transpose them back into three dimensions, for a vivid experience of the dialectical interplay between depiction and physical space. The photographic image emerges in these installations as a body hovering between flat ornament, the illusion of depth, and sculptural presence.

This collection features images from Notting Hill Carnival, 1983. A snapshot of sound system culture in London over 40 years ago. These were hard times; racism was rife, work was scarce and woke wasn't even a word. The determination and passion required to express and live by your culture was crucial and dangerous. Without the dogged passion of the people that created the dances, the carnivals and the blues parties, we would not enjoy the culture we have today. We owe the people in these images a debt of gratitude. We're pleased to share them with you.

Summary:
Jason Fulford’s latest book is a vibrant riff on conceptual artist Sol LeWitt’s 1977 publication PhotoGrids. Lots Of Lots transforms the seemingly quotidian objects captured by Fulford in nearly seven hundred photographs into an evocative collection of interconnected and overlapping forms. Employing a 3x3 format with nine square images on each page, the book groups subjects by idiosyncratic features such as colour palette, slogans, distinctive shadows, and geometric shape. Untethered by location, style, or time, Fulford’s collection moves between coherence and collision in reflection of the varying order and disorder of our world. An empty laundrette, a lone park bench, and a cascading waterfall find new resonance in Fulford’s wry and illuminating compositions, showing us the extant beauty among endless production and consumption.

Summary:
Le sang ne se synthétise pas, ou pas encore. Concrètement, chaque année, 119 millions de poches de sang sont collectées dans le monde, permettant de soigner et de sauver des milliers de personnes souffrant de multiples maladies, de cancers ou victimes d’hémorragie. L’acte de donner son sang gratuitement et anonymement reconstruit des existences et, autant que résistent les coquelicots à l’emprise du béton, des vies trop fragiles sont maintenues par ces justes, éloignés des suffisances narcissiques tout autant que de l’évaluation marchande de leurs gestes. Rendre compte de cette éthique délicate et discrète des pratiques ordinaires liant le don, le soin et la gratitude, par un dialogue associant des textes et des photos, nous a semblé essentiel. « Trois gouttes de sang comme une fleur » est donc un récit à deux voix – celles d’un photographe et d’un anthropologue – mêlant le réalisme du regard à une appréhension poétique du monde. Une narration entremêlée pour reconnaître l’importance de ces « vies minuscules » sans qui nul ne serait ni soigné ni sauvé. Par une écriture photographique sensible à l’imaginaire Clément Chapillon a tendu un « fil rouge » reliant les différents acteurs du don, notamment par un dispositif d’autoportraits. Chaque personne photographiée a elle-même « pressé » le déclencheur incarnant ainsi son engagement et par ce geste partageant la solidarité d’une générosité anonyme. À partir d’entretiens réalisés avec des donneurs, des receveurs et des professionnels de santé, en questionnant sa propre expérience des soins, Yannick Jaffré a questionné les mots du don et ce que la vulnérabilité peut ajouter à l’humain.

Le livre présente le travail photographique d’Yveline Loiseur au sein de la cité sanitaire de Clairvivre, lieu de la réparation des corps et de réinsertion dans la vie sociale pour des personnes en situation de handicap. Labellisée "patrimoine du XXe siècle" en 2011, Clairvivre a été construite entre 1931 et 1933 par l’architecte Pierre Forestier, élève d’Auguste Perret, précurseur de l’architecture en béton armé, maître du Corbusier et futur architecte de la reconstruction du Havre. Tous les principes de l’architecture nouvelle et du confort moderne y sont visibles (toits terrasse, fenêtres en bandes, centrale électrique). Initialement destinée à accueillir les soldats blessés du poumon pendant la Première Guerre Mondiale et leurs familles, elle est devenue sanatorium et abrite aujourd’hui différentes structures d’aide, de formation et de vie en direction des personnes en situation de handicap.
