The introduction outlines the unique tension defining photography--that it shows a segment of the world and simultaneously expresses a subject's particular view of this world. This tension is the source of the medium's unique creative potential and its complex relation to truth. Stahel provides a philosophical perspective on these issues by placing them in an epistemological, social, and historical context. Chapters on industrial photography, staged and conceptual photography, and the current crisis of photojournalism provide a panoramic overview of the possibilities and challenges of photography in all of its variety, from the casual snapshot to art and commercial photography. This profound and readable essay, one of the few daring enough to address the nature of photography, is destined to become a standard work, a must read for anyone interested in thinking about photography.

Publication de l'exposition thématique qui a regroupé des photographes du Québec et de la Catalogne. Se basant sur la prémisse que l'art contemporain a de plus en plus recours au concept et aux diverses interprétations de la maison, chaque artiste présente un regard personnel sur les croisements entre les endroits publics et les endroits personnels, révélant des lieux où l'architecture s'intègre dans la vie quotidienne. L'essai nous dirige à travers l'oeuvre de chaque artiste, soit par observations ou par analyses qui suggèrent la narration qui émerge des différents endroits représentés par des paysages, banlieues, villes ou maisons. Parmi les artistes québécois on retrouve Jocelyne Alloucherie, Nicolas Baier, Alain Paiement et Claire Savoie et Jordi Colomer, Anna Ferrer, Perejaume et Xavier Ribas pour la Catalogne. Cette publication est la plus récente dans une série qui trace un lien entre ces deux âmes-soeurs séparées par un océan. Produit en collaboration avec Tinglato 2, Centre d'art contemporani à Tarragone. En français, anglais et catalan. / Publication of a thematic exhibition featuring leading photographers from Québec, Canada, and Catalunya, Spain. Working from a premise that contemporary art increasingly resorts to representations of the home, each artist presents a personal take on the intersections between public place and private space, revealing points where architecture fits into the lives of people. Through observation and analysis Jean suggests narratives that arise from the places depicted, be they landscape, the suburb, the city or the home. With the participation of Jocelyne Alloucherie, Nicolas Baier, Alain Paiement, Claire Savoie, Jordi Colomer, Anna Ferrer, Perejaume and Xavier Ribas. The latest in a series of publications from Vox drawing on kindred national spirits. Produced with Tinglado 2, Centre d'art contemporani. In English, French and Catalan.

He pairs historical images of the conflict from sixty-two battle sites across the nation -battle-field scenes, soldiers living and dead, prisoners of war, civilians, and slaves - with his own color photographs of the same locations a century and a half later, always taken at the same time of year, often at the same hour of the day. Sometimes Huddleston's lens reveals a department store or fast-food restaurant carelessly built on hallowed ground; other images depict overgrown fields or well-manicured parks. When constrasted with their mid-nineteenth-century counterparts, these indelible images challenge the meaning of place in American culture and the evolving legacy of the Civil War in our national memory.
