Summary:
En 1991, deux ans après la fin de la guerre civile, Gabriele Basilico participe à une mission photographique, consacrée au centre-ville de Beyrouth. Ce territoire, symbole de “l’âge d’or” et de la diversité du Liban, fut pendant près de quinze ans le théâtre de combats rapprochés. Les images montrent des bâtiments criblés d’impacts mais encore debout, comme des squelettes, dans un temps suspendu qui n’est plus celui de la guerre et pas encore celui de la paix.Le livre se conclut par une série de photographies en vis-à-vis associant des images réalisées en 1991 et des vues correspondantes en 2003 du centre-ville reconstruit.

Summary:
New connoisseurs take the opportunities offered by the typically Dutch phenomenon of landscape being continuously adapted to changing demands, always with temporary leftovers awaiting their turn for utilitarian recycling. New ways of thinking about landscape design originate from this specialist landscape use. Bas Princen's arguments take the form of superb photography. The pictures produce awareness about the complex qualities that construct contemporary landscape, such as accessibility, wind direction, water currents and communication networks. In addition the use of certain products, such as kites, mountain bikes and GPS monitors has a bearing on the way in which landscape is understood. Bas Princen enters these landscapes with the slowness, sharpness and precision of a large-format view camera. Although he has a keen eye for user interpretations and has produces over 40 awesome and puzzling pictures, "Artificial Arcadia" is mainly a book about landscape and its design. Texts by Lars Lerup, Bart Lootsma, Wim Cuyvers, Jeff Derksen and Dirk Sijmons reflect on the photographs and present different views on landscapes in transition.

Summary:
Dans Stèles, la Chine est ressentie d’abord comme le lieu d’un accord unique entre nature et civilisation. Le monumental et l’immémorial s’y confondent, tandis que l’humanité semble happée, invisible mais partout présente, par des forces qui l’excédent. La série mêle ainsi minéraux et végétaux, parfois gigantesques, parfois infimes, avec des paysages urbains où s’ouvrent(...)

Dans Stèles, la Chine est ressentie d’abord comme le lieu d’un accord unique entre nature et civilisation. Le monumental et l’immémorial s’y confondent, tandis que l’humanité semble happée, invisible mais partout présente, par des forces qui l’excédent. La série mêle ainsi minéraux et végétaux, parfois gigantesques, parfois infimes, avec des paysages urbains où s’ouvrent tunnels et portes, des lieux habités qui ignorent l’usage commun. Au fil des pages, des idéogrammes ou des tracés à la peinture apparaissent. Ils figurent avec évidence la cohérence d’une culture, et simultanément, pour la plupart d’entre nous, l’incapacité à en pénétrer le sens.

Les jardins parisiens de la Belle Epoque offrent aux trois frères Séeberger un cadre privilégié pour répondre à la commande d'un éditeur de cartes postales et pour mettre en scène, dans leurs photographies, l'espace social où se croisent familles élégantes et prolétaires. Décors et saynètes, soigneusement composés, traduisent le récent engouement du bourgeois pour l'esthétique impressioniste et l'ambiance chère à l'univers proustien. Les Séeberger font ici également oeuvre documentaire en fixant sur la pellicule un état des récents travaux d'embellissement décidés par la ville. Introduction par Jean-Paul Brighelli. Iconographie rassemblée par Claude Malécot.

Summary:
Lucien Hervé (b. 1910), one of the great architectural photographers of the twentieth century, collaborated with Le Corbusier from 1949 until the renowned architect died in 1965. Hervé approached his subjects seeking not only to document the buildings he was commissioned to photograph but also, especially, to convey a sense of space, texture, and structure. Through light and shadow, Hervé defined the dialogue between substance and form. By delineating a strong contrast between light and shadow as well as placing emphasis on building details, the photographer was able to communicate the depth of a room, the surface of a wall, or the strength of a building's framework.

Summary:
As one of the protagonists of the Berlin Dada movement, Hannah Höch railed against tradition and conservatism in 1920s Germany. Höch and such cohorts as George Grosz and Raoul Hausmann raised anarchic revolution through cutting photomontage, nonsensical performance, and biting visual satire. A singular and important work in the artist's oeuvre is the so-called "Sammelalbum," which she produced and pasted together from found imagery for her own pleasure and use, circa 1933. In it, she arranged a choice selection of newspaper and magazine photographs cut from popular German magazines of the time, such as the Berliner Illustrirte and Der Dame. A diverse, allusive group of images they are, representing everything from her favorite film stars to oddly captured animals and toy dolls, nudes, landscapes, scenic travel vistas, and synchronized dancers. By combining the collected pictures in continuous and sometimes contradictory sequences and double-page spreads, Höch created startling and often jarring photo collages. Never before published, Album can be considered to represent a heretofore unknown aspect of Höch's work, since its style of collage differs strongly from her well-known photomontages. This publication presents the entire Album in an exquisite facsimile reproduction, maintaining the filmic quality of its order and layout. In an accompanying essay, Gunda Luyken considers the content and history of the Album, locating it in the wider context of Höch’s oeuvre.
