Summary:
In "Suspended Conversations" Martha Langford shows how photographic albums tell intimate and revealing stories about individuals and families. Unlike those who isolate the individual photograph, treat albums as texts, or argue that photography has supplanted memory, she shows that the photographic album must be taken as a whole and interpreted as a visual and verbal performance that extends oral consciousness. Albums are treasured by families, collected as illustrations of the past by museums of social history, and examined by scholars for what they can reveal about attitudes and sensibilities. Most agree that albums are stories that come to life in the retelling - but when no one is left to tell the tale, the intrigue of the album becomes a puzzle, a suspended conversation. Langford argues that oral consciousness provides the missing key. By correlating photography and orality she shows how albums were designed to work as performances and how we can unlock their mysteries. "Suspended Conversations" brings to light a collection of photographic travelogues, memoirs, thematic collections, and family sagas compiled between 1860 and 1960 and held by the McCord Museum of Canadian History. Langford not only provides a fascinating glimpse of the preoccupations of previous centuries but brings photography into the great conversation of how we remember and how we send our stories into the future.

Carrara, a volume of stunning photographs by William Wylie, reveals that the beauty of the quarry itself can be as alluring as the sculptures carved from its stone. Wylie is the first photographer to document Cava di Gioia since Ilario Besi, early in the twentieth century. For six years, Wylie photographed the changing landscape of the quarry, and his images capture the intense physical scale of the site, the dramatic setting, and the character of the stonecutters, or cavatori, who have worked the quarry for generations. Wylie’s astonishing photographs present a remarkable panorama carved by more than twenty centuries of excavation. As well, his images of the stonecutters are sensitive portraits of men shaped by their occupation, toughened and enlivened by their work.

Aux images de Vanessa Püntener sur le monde paysan d’aujourd’hui et celles de Thomas Flechtner montrant la montagne dans sa dimension la plus pure s’ajoutent les travaux de six jeunes photographes suisses et français. Leur démarche invite à contempler la montagne sous un angle nouveau. Loin de la carte postale touristique, ces artistes évoquent la montagne sous des facettes inattendues : effrayante, spectaculaire, domptée, abandonnée, décalée, féerique. Parallèlement, les rencontres entre reporters et plasticiens permettent de proposer une lecture multiple du monde. Le spectateur est amené à déplacer son point de vue et à réévaluer la question des critères esthétiques. En un temps où l’image stéréotypée de la montagne-ski ou de la montagne-performance en est venue à écoeurer le public au point qu’il se détourne du monde alpin, ce livre est une excellente occasion de promouvoir une révolution du regard.

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
This book examines a recurrent question in recent literature on the use of the photographic medium in contemporary art. It is concerned with the multiformity of ways the photograph manifests itself in diverse artistic practices today, and with the consequences of this situation for photography’s critical potential. Central to this discussion is the question whether photography has a hybrid or chameleonic character because it can be part of entirely different mixed-media works of art. The book also raises such questions as: Does the photo-image nowadays serve mainly as a useful tool to make a renewed kind of tableau, often marked by a rather noncommittal and ‘poetic’ visual imagery? When photographic practices aim at raising a critical debate on the internal workings of the artistic system itself or on broader social problems, is the photograph then able to distinguish itself from a merely ‘political’ statement or a pamphlet? A distinguished variety of authors, all specialists in the field of contemporary photography, offer their viewpoints on this debate.
