Summary:
Engagé dans un projet artistique, Philippe Bazin prend parti et analyse des oeuvres de Lewis Baltz, Allan Sekula, Martha Rosler ou encore Bruno Serralongue, ainsi que de photographes moins connus comme Géraldine Millo, David Marié ou Mahaut Lavoine. Les textes rassemblés créent une unité de réflexion autour d'une photographie critique des contextes historiques, esthétiques et idéologiques dans lesquels elle se crée aujourd'hui, une "photographie documentaire critique". Chaque texte ouvre une nouvelle facette de cette photographie, alors que l'ensemble est introduit par un texte qui entend proposer une méthodologie de travail, une "attitude documentaire". Le livre explore ainsi les apports d'une posture critique, dans tous les sens du terme - appréciation, épreuve, seuil, distance, tension, crise, analyse - et s'achève par la formulation d'un "manifeste documentaire" (écrit avec la philosophe Christiane Vollaire).

Summary:
Réalité éminemment subjective, objet vivant et évolutif, le paysage reflète aussi à travers ses mutations les transformations de la société. Ancré historiquement dans l’art des jardins, le projet de paysage a rencontré plus récemment de nouvelles échelles avec l’aménagement des villes et des territoires, suscitant argumentations et débats. Dès ses origines, la photographie a été associée au paysage pour le documenter, témoigner de ses évolutions, le promouvoir, le défendre. Le rôle de la photographie est bien sûr variable en fonction des contextes culturels et des périodes historiques et renvoie à des situations de commande variées.

Summary:
Dyer takes the viewer/reader on a wildly original journey through both iconic and unseen images from the archive, including eighteen previously unpublished color photographs. The book encompasses most of Winogrand’s themes and subjects and remains broadly faithful to the chronological and geographical facts of his life, but Dyer’s responses to the photographs are unorthodox, eye-opening, and often hilarious. This inimitable combination of photographer and writer, images and text, itself offers what Dyer claims for Winogrand’s photography—an education in seeing.

Summary:
Walker Evans’s 'Kitchen Corner, Tenant Farmhouse, Hale County, Alabama' shows a painstakingly clean-swept corner in the house of a family of white sharecroppers. Taken in 1936, the photograph was not published until 1960, when it was included in a new edition of Evans and James Agee’s classic 'Let Us Now Praise Famous Men'. The 1960 reissue of the book had an enormous impact on perceptions of the Great Depression and its effects on the American South. Olivier Richon’s detailed examination of the image, reveals unexpected visual and literary associations. Richon argues that Evans employs a photographic form that privileges detachment, calling attention to overlooked objects and the architecture of the dispossessed.

Summary:
''Constructing Imperial Berlin'' is the first book to critically assess, contextualize, and frame urban and architectural photographs of the Imperial years in Berlin between 1871 and 1918. Berlin, as it was pronounced Germany's capital in 1871, was fraught with questions that had previously beset Paris and London. How was urban expansion and transformation to be absorbed? What was the city's understanding of its comparably short history? Given this short history, how did it embody the idea of a capital? A key theme of this book is the close interrelation of the city's rapid physical metamorphosis with repercussions on promotional and critical narratives, the emergence of groundbreaking photographic technologies, and novel forms of mass distribution.

Summary:
This publication offers a spectrum of views on how the myriad forms of exhibiting photographies can increase our understanding of how images operate today, as well as what they do to us when we interact with them. In the Digital Age, “photography” is best described with adjectives connoting a medium in constant flux: liquid, fluid, flexible, unstable. As such, there is no primary format for displaying photographs. By drawing upon the diverse perspectives of a group of curators, scholars, photographers, and artists based in the field of contemporary photography, this volume aims to provide a foundation for a wider discourse about exhibiting photographies in the twenty-first century.
