Summary:
La photographie d'architecture est un genre à part entière, souvent indispensable à la diffusion et à la communication d'un projet de bâtiment ou d'aménagement. Les architectes ont recours à la commande photographique pour présenter leur création, en traduire les intentions et en souligner le potentiel. Le photographe d'architecture se met ainsi au service du bâtiment. Loin d'être un simple décor, ce dernier est au coeur du travail photographique. Souhaitant mettre en avant le travail de ces artistes qui restent souvent dans l'ombre du projet qu'ils documentent, Karine Guilbert est allée à la rencontre de quinze d'entre eux. Leurs quinze approches sont diverses, dans la forme comme dans l'intention. Leurs projets personnels cohabitent avec leurs travaux de commande ou d'inventaire. Des images parfaitement épurées s'entrechoquent avec des clichés humainement incarnés. Des volontés militantes rencontrent des promenades poétiques. Il en résulte un panorama enrichissant et complexe d'une discipline à la croisée des chemins et des regards.

Le 11 juin 1985, un mardi, Denis Roche prend une photographie où, ayant accroché son appareil à la branche d’un arbre et enclenché le retardateur, il se met en scène entrant dans l’image et marchant vers le porche muré d’une église de Cologne sur lequel un squelette graffité semble l’attendre.

Cette composition, qui épouse la forme d’un récit, notamment par la description que donne Denis Roche de cette prise de vue, tout en proposant une réflexion métaphysique poignante, donne naissance à une « poétique » singulière où le texte et l’image sont considérés à parts égales, déployant depuis cette « visée » une perspective où se rejoignent la mémoire et la mort, l’instant et le souvenir, la présence et l’absence, le sujet et l’objet.

Summary:
In the spring of 2010, the Brooklyn-based quarterly magazine Cabinet invited poet and cultural critic Wayne Koestenbaum to begin writing a regular column. Entitled "Legend," the column had a highly unusual premise. Every three months, the editors of the magazine would ask Koestenbaum to write one or more extended captions for a single photograph with which they had provided him; drawn from obscure vernacular, commercial and scientific sources, all of the images were unfamiliar to the author. After 18 installments, Koestenbaum concluded his column in the winter of 2015. 'Notes on Glaze', featuring an introductory essay by the author, collects all the "Legend" columns, as well as their accompanying photographs. Refusing the distancing language of critical disinterest, Koestenbaum’s columns always locate the author in intimate proximity to the subjects portrayed in the photographs and to the impossibly variegated cast of characters—ranging from Debbie Reynolds to Duccio, the Dalai Lama to Barbra Streisand; from Hegel to Pee-wee Herman, and Emily Dickinson to Cicciolina—that pass through these texts.

Summary:
Writing in the context of two Polaroid Corporation bankruptcies, not to mention the obsolescence of its film, Peter Buse argues that Polaroid was, and is, distinguished by its process—by the fact that, as the New York Times put it in 1947, “the camera does the rest.” Polaroid was often dismissed as a toy, but Buse takes it seriously, showing how it(...)

Summary:
Writing in the context of two Polaroid Corporation bankruptcies, not to mention the obsolescence of its film, Peter Buse argues that Polaroid was, and is, distinguished by its process—by the fact that, as the New York Times put it in 1947, “the camera does the rest.” Polaroid was often dismissed as a toy, but Buse takes it seriously, showing how it encouraged photographic play as well as new forms of artistic practice. Drawing on unprecedented access to the archives of the Polaroid Corporation, Buse reveals Polaroid as photography at its most intimate, where the photographer, photograph, and subject sit in close proximity in both time and space—making Polaroid not only the perfect party camera but also the tool for frankly salacious pictures taking. Along the way, Buse tells the story of the Polaroid Corporation and its ultimately doomed hard-copy wager against the rising tide of digital imaging technology. He explores the continuities and the differences between Polaroid and digital, reflecting on what Polaroid can tell us about how we snap photos today. Richly illustrated, The Camera Does the Rest will delight historians, art critics, analog fanatics, photographers, and all those who miss the thrill of waiting to see what develops.

Summary:
Stuart Franklin took one of the most powerful photographs of the twentieth century - the 'tank man' in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, 1989. From his insightful position as a photographer, Franklin explores why we are driven to visually document our experiences and the world around us. He focuses on photography but traces this universal need through art, literature and science. Looking at photojournalism, war photography and work recording our culture, Franklin identifies some of its driving impulses: curiosity, outrage, reform and ritual; the search for evidence, for beauty, for therapy; and the immortalization of memory. As our understanding of 'documentary' continues to expand, Franklin considers photographic staging - where, perhaps, the future of the genre may lie: in search of truth over fact.

Au fil du temps, ces liens se sont développés, instituant progressivement la photographie comme l’outil privilégié des architectes contemporains pour documenter les phases d’un projet ou le résultat final de son exécution. Sur la base d’une interaction forte entre texte et images, l’auteur retrace ici l’évolution de la photographie d’architecture, depuis sa conception au XIXe siècle, entre art et source documentaire, et entre production amateur et proto-professionnelle, jusqu’au rôle essentiel qu’elle joue aujourd’hui. De Daguerre à Baldus, Moholy-Nagy ou Couturier, et de Viollet-le-Duc à Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier ou Pagano, cette référence constitue la première synthèse ample et structurée de l’histoire de l’iconographie photographique d’architecture, des origines à nos jours. Cette édition constitue une version révisée et augmentée de l’édition italienne originale.
