Summary:
Missionnaire allemand envoyé à Santiago du Chili en 1912, Martin Gusinde accomplit son premier voyage en Terre de Feu en 1918, en quête de peuples méconnus et de contrées lointaines. Sur cette île du bout du monde, parcourant canaux, forêts et steppes, il découvre une civilisation qui va bientôt disparaître avec l'arrivée des colons occidentaux - missionnaires, chercheurs d'or, éleveurs et autres aventuriers... Dans un engagement très personnel, il décide de photographier ces hommes aux modes de vie et aux croyances si étranges pour un Européen. Son immersion est totale : au fil de quatre voyages, menés jusqu'en 1924, il recueille les coutumes, les rites, la parole des peuples Selk'nam, Yamana et Kawésqar. Le missionnaire devient ethnologue. Fasciné par ce qu'il voit, il va réaliser plus d'un millier de photographies, témoignage unique de l'esprit de ces peuples de la finis terrae.

Summary:
In the city of Tokyo, a building stands as an anachronism in relation to the surrounding urban landscape. The building in question is the Nakagin Capsule Tower designed by Kisho Kurokawa (1934 – 2007), one of the founders of an influential architectural movement in the 1960s called Metabolism. The movement’s aim was to formulate flexible designs that facilitate continual growth and renewal of architecture. As the first capsule apartment in history constructed for everyday use, the Nakagin Capsule Tower is considered the most ambitious attempt in implementing the principles of Metabolism. Kurokawa attached the building with 140 removable capsules to promote modifications to the structure over time, theoretically improving its capacity to adjust to the rapidly changing conditions of the post-industrial society. When the building first opened in March of 1972, it was advertised in the media to signal “the dawn of the capsule age.” At the time, Kurokawa had additional capsule projects planned in the coming years and predicted the mass production of these living unit. Noritaka Minami has been photographing the Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo for the past four years.

Summary:
The Romanian-born Canadian artist is well known for his richly-coloured, large-scale landscape paintings but less so for his photography. This publication fills that gap by featuring a selection of never before seen photographic work spanning four decades. Much like his paintings, autobiography is at the core of Krausz’s photographs in that they document the journeys of a relentless traveler. Both his photographs and paintings project entrancing worlds where the narrative of embattled and embittered histories are implied but never named.

Summary:
Dutch photographer Marnix Goossens spent seven years documenting surrogate nature in somewhat run-down interiors, a recurrent theme reflecting our underlying yearning for the freedom inspired by exotic destinations and wide-open spaces. In place of the real thing, Goossens pictures palm-print wallpaper, false wood grain adhesive, flowery motifs and faded posters of snow-capped mountains. Otherwise mundane and overlooked details and decorative elements are appreciated anew and in unexpected ways through a profusion of detail, colour nuances, and careful lighting. The book is published on the occasion of a solo exhibition by Goossens at Foam, Amsterdam.

Summary:
There is no life without water. Burtynsky's new book Water tells us the story of where water comes from, how we use it, distribute and waste it. Often using a bird's-eye perspective, the photographer shows us its remote sources, remarkable ancient step-wells and mass bathing rituals, the transformation of desert into cities with waterfronts on each doorstep, the compromised landscapes of the American Southwest. Furthermore, Burtynsky explores the infrastructure of water management: the gigantic hydroelectric dams and terraced rice fields in the heart of China, the vast irrigation systems of America's bread basket and the use of aquaculture.

Summary:
Hashima is a small island located off the extreme southwest coast of Japan, about ten miles from Nagasaki. Its darkwarship-like silhouette earned it the nickname of Gunkanjima (“battleship island”). During the wave of industrialisation in the nineteenth century, a coal seam was discovered on the island and the Mitsubishi corporation opened a mine there. Workers settled on the island and the population increased, the small mining town quickly becoming a modern and autonomous settlement. However, the mine closed in January 1974 and the last inhabitants deserted the island. Since then, Gunkanjima has become a ghost town.

His fanatical attention to light and location creates a vision of life at once familiar and haunting; his artistic vision seems in line with those of Edward Hopper and David Lynch. Published together for the first time are images from each of his many series of work, from the little-seen black-and-white images of Fireflies to more recent masterpieces such as Beneath the Roses and Sanctuary.
