Summary:
Writing about The Museum of Modern Art's monumental and critically acclaimed 2005 Lee Friedlander retrospective, Richard Lacayo of Time magazine said: "If a sophisticated notion of what a picture can look like, the continuous construction of new avenues of feeling, and sheer, sustained inventiveness are the measures we go by, then Friedlander is one of the most important American artists of any kind since World War II Friedlander loves the muchness of the world. He loves the haphazard multitude of things that can pop up in every picture--street signs, sunbeams, bits of roofline, a jagged shadow--all colliding and contradicting one another. In his breezy but very acute introduction to the show's catalogue, Peter Galassi, MoMA's chief curator of photography, gets it just right when he says some of Friedlander's pictures give you the impression that 'the physical world had been broken into fragments and reconstituted under pressure at three times its original density.'" Now available for the first time, the paperback edition of this definitive, comprehensive volume is being published to coincide with the traveling retrospective's stop in San Francisco at SFMOMA.

Summary:
L'enjeu de ce travail, après les tragédies de l'Europe du XXe siècle, sera d'envisager l'Amérique comme terre d'accueil, réceptacle des drames de la vieille Europe, transposition optimiste de la misère, de la brutalité des guerres et révolutions. L'exil impose à l'homme américain une mutation radicale qui lui permet au prix d'un reniement de sa propre mémoire, d'intégrer une nouvelle conception du monde fondée sur l'éphémère, l'abandon et le mouvement perpétuel, proche du nomadisme. Stucturé par son destin d'exilé, ce peuple puise sa force et son inventivité dans la rupture. La nostalgie devient mortifère et l'avenir trop distant pour en rêver. Il reste alors le privilège de créer l'instant et de s'adapter. Compte tenu de la radicalité de cet engagement dans le destin d'un homme, il me semble qu'à l'échelle d'un peuple, les conséquences seront certainement surprenantes. Ce travail photographique né d'un fort parti pris ignore les grands mouvements de cette 'jeune civilisation' où information, spiritualité, environnement, culture, diplomatie, riment avec consommation et profit. Pour la cohérence du projet, l'investigation se limite à New York, porte de l'Amérique, et à l'État du Montana, achèvement de la lente migration vers l'inconnu. Stéphane Leroy

The photographs taken on these journeys form the basic stock for the photographic essay in book format, entitled „Mihriban“. „Mihriban“ is a Turkish girl's name and means „good friend, with a good heart and a laughing face“; above all, „Mihriban“ is a well-known love song in Turkey. "Mihriban is both documentary photography and the record of a process that I consider to be artistic in essence. It's about exploring reality through art; it is a piece of research on the nature of both reality and the image.", Linda Herzog in conversation with Martin Jaeggi.

Summary:
The pond at Upton Pyne formed at the site of an eighteenth-century manganese mine. Located on land owned by a local family who were involved in the mining venture, the first excavations began in 1788. It was originally an open-cast mine employing just a few men who worked with ladders, picks, shovels. The quality of the ore in the lode was rich, and once refined it was shipped from Exeter Quay to London and Bristol where it was used predominantly in the production of glass. After a bright start the output of the mine steadily diminished and by 1823 it had ceased production, leaving a large pit, shallow on the east side near the road and becoming deeper towards the west, where it is overhung by a cliff...

Based on the photographs and writings of his great-grandfather, photographer and video artist Andréas Lang embarks on a search for traces and research into a lost chapter of German colonial history in Central Africa: a frontier expedition to take possession of the territory of French Congo. His photographs and videos depict places and landscapes in which the phantoms of the colonial era are still present, in a state of limbo between reality and fiction, past and present. He contrasts this with previously unpublished historical material that reflects the bleak reality of colonialism.

Summary:
Widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of his medium, Robert Frank broke new ground with his candid, poignant images of American life in the mid-20th century. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Pace in New York, and in celebration of the centennial of Frank’s birth, "Robert Frank: Hope makes visions" presents an in-depth look at the photographer and filmmaker’s process across various media. Through a selection of his lesser-known photographs, collages, sketches and maquettes from 1955 to 2016, a new portrait of the artist emerges, one that shows his commitment to growth and experimentation throughout his career. With a new text by Ocean Vuong, author of the award-winning "On Earth we're briefly gorgeous" (2019), this volume is a sensitive homage to a canonical artist.

Summary:
In November 2022, the water level of the Great Salt Lake fell to its lowest on record. Diverted water supply from its feeding rivers, pollution from nearby extraction plants and ravaging droughts have brought this landmark to a crisis point. As the lake reached its lowest ebb, photographer Fazal Sheikh (born 1965), together with writer Terry Tempest Williams (born 1955), walked the shoreline, awed by its epic beauty while recording the destruction of its natural habitats. As Utah native Williams writes in her essay, "Retreat," she is witnessing the death of a lake that has been a constant presence in her life. Meanwhile, Sheikh documents the shrinking salt basin from above, revealing how the lake has been exploited: plundered for its natural salts, dissected by concrete highways, discolored by toxic waste, depleted by evaporation. His images hold a mirror to the lake’s surface, charting its destruction while demanding the viewer’s visceral response.

Summary:
From 2013 to 2023, photographer Matteo Di Giovanni (born 1980) embarked on several rambling journeys off the beaten path through Italy, Scandinavia and Northern Europe, in which map and territory gave way to intuition and curiosity, documenting the outer world through attentive observation and image-making. Di Giovanni’s landscapes seem intimate and mythic, while the still lifes are vast and open—interior and exterior are interchangeable. True Places Never Are resequences this series of medium format photographs (originally released as three separate photobooks) and adds several previously unpublished images. The result is a fresh, cohesive body of work in which the location and chronology are secondary to the intangible meanings and associations suggested by the lens. Taken from a line in Moby-Dick, the title expands upon this search for metaphysical enlightenment: "It is not down on any map; true places never are."
