Summary:
Collaborant régulièrement comme iconographe avec des architectes (Jean Nouvel, Périphériques, Plan 01), l'artiste et théoricienne Anne Frémy traite dans cet essai de la tension qui se joue entre leur mémoire et leur projet, et entre deux types d'images : celle, tangible et concrète, qu'ils tiennent sous leurs yeux, organisent en collections, manipulent et détournent, et celle, abstraite et mentale, qui véhicule leur vision, floue, diffuse et intuitive, de l'architecture à venir. Transhistorique et transdisciplinaire, le livre richement illustré convoque bien d'autres traditions iconographiques associées à l'espace. Les procédures contemplatives et divinatoires, les arts de la mémoire, les schématisations visuelles en philosophie ou la pratique contemporaine de l'atlas ; pour éclairer ce qui restait un impensé, voire un invisible : Le rôle conceptuel et opératoire des images dans le processus de création architecturale.

Summary:
A l'occasion des vingt ans de la Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, cet ouvrage célèbre le photographe et théoricien à travers ses écrits. Il rassemble une sélection d'une trentaine d'entretiens, dans leur intégralité, qu'il a mené tout au long de sa carrière, entre 1954 et 2003, dont certains méconnus ou inédits, comme plusieurs interviews radiophoniques retranscrites pour la première fois. Henri Cartier-Bresson fait partie de ces artistes qui ont beaucoup écrit sur leur travail et la photographie en général. Il s'est à la fois entretenu avec des personnalités du monde de l'art et des journalistes spécialisés dans l'optique d'explorer, de questionner le médium et c'est à travers ses écrits et entretiens qu'il met en forme sa pensée et théorise la photographie, ses différents enjeux et pratiques. Ces entretiens témoignent à la fois de la vie et de l'oeuvre tout en offrant des clefs de lecture sur son approche esthétique. Ils montrent également l'évolution de sa pensée sur la photographie et sur la relation qu'il entretient avec le cinéma, le dessin et la peinture. Ce recueil pose un nouveau regard sur ce photographe et penseur d'exception. Il sera illustré par une sélection d'une trentaine de photographies d'Henri Cartier-Bresson.

Summary:
The body of the seafarer is a fulcrum upon which global systems of power, longstanding maritime traditions, and gendered and racialised pressures all rest. In this vital new essay, scholar Laleh Khalili draws on her ongoing research and experiences of travelling on cargo ships to explore the embodied life of these labourers. She investigates an experience riddled with adversities – loneliness, loss, and violence, stolen wages and exploitative shipowners – as well as ephemeral moments of joy and solidarity. In the unique arena of the ship, Khalili traces the many forms of corporeality involved in work at sea and the ways the body is engaged by the institutions that engulf seafarers’ lives and work. Illustrated throughout with the author’s own photographs, this book takes in both scholarly and literary accounts to describe with care and imagination the material and physical realities of contemporary commerce at sea. Drawing on the insights of feminists and scholars of racial capitalism, it centres the lives of those so often forgotten or dismissed in enterprises of capital accumulation and the raced and gendered hierarchies that shape them.

Summary:
Giulia Paoletti takes readers on a visual journey from the 1840s, when the oldest-surviving daguerreotype from West Africa was made, to the 1960s, when photography became the most popular medium as Senegal achieved its independence. She discusses some of Africa’s most celebrated modernists, such as Mama Casset, and also offers insights into lesser-known photographers like Oumar Ka and once-anonymous figures such as Macky Kane. Paoletti examines both professional and amateur artists in genres ranging from portraiture to landscape and across media such as glass painting and lithography.

Summary:
You may have found an old Konica at the thrift store or inherited a Leica, or you may be one of the many younger photographers who are being drawn to analogue for the first time, as a way to enrich and expand their practice. In either case, this book provides all the information needed to help you understand your camera and get out and start using it. The fundamental technical sides of both cameras and photography are covered. There are, however, no tips on how to take "better" photos, no sections on lines and shapes, silhouettes, texture or composition. This is purely a technical manual: once you have mastered the mechanics of photography, you will have total creative control over your camera, a tool for taking photos exactly as you want them. Whether as a primer or a reference manual, this is the perfect book to (re)kindle your love of analogue photography.

Summary:
This book offers a portrait of the lives and struggles of Palestinians living in the occupied Palestinian territories on the West Bank, in particular the South Hebron Hills and the Jordan Valley. Among the topics highlighted are house demolitions; confrontations between Palestinian shepherds or farmers and Israeli settlers, soldiers, and police; the daily challenges of sheer existence posed by the occupation system, intent on pushing Palestinians off their land; and the tenacity and courage that these conditions require. The book endeavors to impart to the reader a sense of the beauty of the landscape, the sound of the language, the taste of friendships, and the richness of a way of life that is threatened with extinction. Voices of activists, both Palestinian and Jewish, are also present. The introduction sets forth, in brief, the historical context that generated present realities in Palestine as well as the history of the authors’ partnership. The book’s viewpoint reflects many years of activism on the peace and human rights front in Palestine as well as an ongoing conversation between two authors who have experienced together the continually renewed astonishment that comes with such encounters.

"Committing to paper the movements, postures, and words of the people I meet gives me the illusion that I am close to them. I don’t speak to them, I only watch them and listen to them. Yet the emotions they arouse in me are real. I may also be trying to discover something about myself through them, their attitudes or their conversations." Taking Annie Ernaux’s unique(...)

Summary:
"Committing to paper the movements, postures, and words of the people I meet gives me the illusion that I am close to them. I don’t speak to them, I only watch them and listen to them. Yet the emotions they arouse in me are real. I may also be trying to discover something about myself through them, their attitudes or their conversations." Taking Annie Ernaux’s unique artistic endeavour to "describe reality as through the eyes of a photographer and to preserve the mystery and opacity of the lives I encountered," this project by writer and curator Lou Stoppard uncovers the profound ways the written and visual image can inform and inflect on one another. In doing so, it proposes a new way of thinking about literature and photography, and the ways in which shared themes – such as class, travel, social stereotypes, and individual identity within the modern urban environment – might be explored between these two forms.

It explores how independent art bookstores came to be the social parlours of the self-publishing crowd. Furthermore, observes how the outsider artists, archives and arts initiatives of Southeast Asia came to shape the face of photography and self-publishing in their respective cities. The index is a compilation of our project field research, condensing the profiles of all the interviewees – from people to bookstores to organisations – to make a kind of alternative Yellow Pages for the Southeast Asian art scene.

The Getty presents "Where We Live: Photographs from the Berman Collection", at the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Center, October 24, 2006-February 25, 2007. The exhibition showcases the richness of American color photography in nearly 170 works by 24 important contemporary artists, and includes works that will be shown for the first time. "Where We Live" draws from nearly 500 examples of postwar American photography donated by the Bermans to the Museum over the past eight years. The photographs that the Bermans have donated to the Getty form an archive of late 20th-century American life. The presentation marks the opening of the Getty Museum's new and expanded suite of galleries devoted to photographs, reflecting the importance of the art form in the Getty's collection.
