Summary:
Material World is the first monograph on the celebrated Canadian photographer. MacCallum's rich black and white images of sprawling industrial landscapes, luminous interior spaces of warehouses and factories, the jumbled chaos of downtown hardware and textiles outlets, all sing with an austere grace and a fine attention to detail. His objective documentary style avoids obvious commentary, allowing the material presence of the subject matter to emerge. The work comes from a keen interest in social history and the series of photographs represented here tell a story of commerce, labour and the economic relationship of cities to their industrial hinterlands. Accompanying the plates are contextual texts by novelist and media columnist Russell Smith, curator Michael Baker and artist Terence Dick, as well as an illuminating interview with the artist. This beautiful, accessible book presents the remarkable work of Peter MacCallum to a broad range of readers.

The resulting pictures, often taken on pitches in apparently bizarre locations, are an amusing yet touching homage to passion and comradeship more than compensating for a lack of skill and professionalism.

Summary:
Hans van der Meer has been photographing football matches in the amateur leagues in Holland and beyond since 1995. The resulting pictures, often taken on pitches in apparently bizarre locations, are an amusing yet touching homage to passion and comradeship more than compensating for a lack of skill and professionalism. The photographs show some of the country's oldest football pitches, some humble villagepitches, others more grand, always with the flat Dutch landscape a prominent player.

Summary:
Between 1936 and 1941 Walker Evans and James Agee collaborated on one of the most provocative books in American literature, "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" (1941). While at work on this book, the two also conceived another less well-known but equally important book project entitled "Many Are Called". This three-year photographic study of subway passengers made with a hidden camera was first published in 1966, with an introduction written by Agee in 1940. Long out of print, "Many Are Called" is now being reissued with a new foreword and afterword and with exquisitely reproduced images from newly prepared digital scans. "Many Are Called" came to fruition at a slow pace. In 1938, Walker Evans began surreptitiously photographing people on the New York City subway. With his camera hidden in his coat--the lens peeking through a buttonhole--he captured the faces of riders hurtling through the dark tunnels, wrapped in their own private thoughts. By 1940-41, Evans had made over six hundred photographs and had begun to edit the series. The book remained unpublished until 1966 when The Museum of Modern Art mounted an exhibition of Evans’s subway portraits. This beautiful new edition--published in the centenary year of the NYC subway--is an essential book for all admirers of Evans’s unparalleled photographs, Agee’s elegant prose, and the great City of New York. Designed by Katy Homans with an introduction by Luc Santé.

Robbert Flick : trajectories

Summary:
Robbert Flick's work extends the same visual, philosophical, and theoretically fertile tradition set by the highly influential and iconoclastic Robert Heinecken. But while Heinecken's emphasis can be said to rely on the manner in which images function within the intersection of popular culture and the fine arts, Flick has characteristically concentrated more intently on(...)

Summary:
Robbert Flick's work extends the same visual, philosophical, and theoretically fertile tradition set by the highly influential and iconoclastic Robert Heinecken. But while Heinecken's emphasis can be said to rely on the manner in which images function within the intersection of popular culture and the fine arts, Flick has characteristically concentrated more intently on the artifactual, conceptual, and receptive properties of photography--specifically landscape photography. The distinctive retinal and conceptual strength of Flick's work has been evident since his early essay-format images of the 1960s. In his more recent digital work, he extends his participation in the critical discourse established around the interpretation, evaluation, and assessment of visual constructs related to the landscape. And yet, this movement has only become possible through a conceptual transition from a position of creating unique objects to an emphasis on interactivity and multiple access using still and moving images that allow for the work's insertion into the broader socio-political arena where the application defines the discourse. Trajectories traces the artist's career from the 1970s to the present, providing the opportunity to examine his visual development while also charting the conceptual and philosophical impact of contemporary culture on landscape, cultural geography, and technology. Edited by Tim B. Wride with essays by Michael Dear and David L. Ulin

Summary:
«…l’angle de vue sous lequel Édith Roux montre les sites révèle un foisonnement doux et divers : utile contrepoint aux uniformes urbains, poétique de la « zone ». Le cadrage et le champ forcent le regard vers ce que l’on méprise habituellement : l’herbe. D’une façon ou d’une autre, par une approche sans rapport avec la démarche scientifique, l’univers visuel abordé ici appartient à cet ensemble diffus et fractionné que j’appelle Tiers paysage : fragment indécidé du jardin planétaire. Territoire biologique du futur. Réserve d’inconnu. » [Gilles Clément] Édith Roux regarde ces friches, ces délaissés du territoire urbanisé comme un territoire biologique privilégié, seul refuge de la diversité. Les deux approches, celle du jardinier, celle de la photographe, se retrouvent sur le terrain. Réalisé autour des territoires en friche observés dans de nombreux pays d’Europe, le travail photographique d’Édith Roux est analysé par le paysagiste Gilles Clément, qui développe actuellement une réflexion autour de la notion de Tiers paysage et de la déprise du territoire urbain ou agricole dans les espaces délaissés. Le texte de Guy Tortosa accompagne cette réflexion par un regard sur la dimension poétique de ce travail.

Summary:
Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station is located in Nottinghamshire, England. Michael Kenna first began photographing the power station in the early 1980s, and over the past several years he has visited the site many times, producing a body of work as ominous as it is beautiful. The Ratcliffe photographs take on the tonal quality of a partially lit ecosphere unique to the photographer and his subject. A brilliant manipulator of half-light, Kenna’s grainy, spatial topography epitomizes the grey skies of Northern England that were the ubiquitous backdrop to his childhood. Kenna’s Ratcliffe photographs create the impression of an atmospherically foggy day, registering the homeostasis of a mood that is a dominant characteristic of his work. Beautifully printed in duotone on matt art paper, Ratcliffe Power Station is published in a first edition of 3,000 copies.

Summary:
Most books about cinema, whether popular or academic, concentrate on what we might call the ‘inside’ of the film: from star performances to narrative structures. The relatively few books about the ‘outside’ of films speak mainly of such aspects of production and reception as the organization of the film industry and the sociology of audiences: the Hollywood studio system, for example, or fan clubs. The Remembered Film is unique in addressing a previously overlooked aspect of cinema: the isolated fragments of films, iconic images or scenes, that fleetingly cross our perceptions and thoughts in the course of everyday life. Victor Burgin examines a kaleidescope of film fragments drawn from a variety of media, the internet, memory and fantasy. Among these are sequences of such brevity they might almost be stills. Such ‘sequence-images’, as Burgin calls them, are neither strictly ‘image’ nor ‘image sequence’ and have not been considered before by either film or photography theory. He also considers some typical individual experiences ‘sampled’ from mainstream cinema. He reflects on such disparate occurrences as the association in memory of fragments from otherwise unrelated films, of the relation of a recollected film image to an architectural setting, or of a feeling ‘marked’ by an image remembered from a film. The Remembered Film provides a radical new way of thinking about film outside conventional cinema, and in relation to our everyday lives. It will appeal to a wide audience interested in film and media.
