Summary:
Like a journey into the heart of urban solitude and its periphery, Serge Clément’s work draws the viewer into an intimate relationship with the image. As the images accumulate, they create an imaginary density of timeless fragments. For Clément, photography has always been closely related to the book, particularly along the idea that an image refers to other images. On(...)

Summary:
Like a journey into the heart of urban solitude and its periphery, Serge Clément’s work draws the viewer into an intimate relationship with the image. As the images accumulate, they create an imaginary density of timeless fragments. For Clément, photography has always been closely related to the book, particularly along the idea that an image refers to other images. On one hand, it signifies that an image is a leaky container with smoke, fog, streams and rivers, reflections, and streets running across the image. On the other, Serge Clément constantly questions the power of the photographic image to capture reality. A certain street, a certain perspective, this deserted place, the passers-by are not tied to a clearly identifiable world, but belong to the abstract universe of an essentially imaginary city. It is not important to know whether the place in question is Montreal or Tokyo, the viewer may rather lose himself between several places.

Summary:
Si autrefois la ville était un espace collectif où l'aspiration individuelle était possible, elle est aujourd’hui source d’isolement et de solitude. Partant de ce constat évident et largement médiatisé (qui n’a pas entendu parler de la « crise des banlieues » ?), François Leclercq nous livre un véritable manifeste pour la ville.

Summary:
Si autrefois la ville était un espace collectif où l'aspiration individuelle était possible, elle est aujourd’hui source d’isolement et de solitude. Partant de ce constat évident et largement médiatisé (qui n’a pas entendu parler de la « crise des banlieues » ?), François Leclercq nous livre un véritable manifeste pour la ville. Cette ville qu’il considère comme une entité vivante, autonome et adaptée aux incessantes fluctuations et évolutions contemporaines. Il imagine – à travers cinq récits racontant des opportunités de transformation – une ville qui s'adapte à la réalité d'un monde flou, débarrassée des certitudes des futurismes. Il conçoit les modalités d'une renaissance de la ville de tous et pour tous. Des histoires d'étudiantes maltraitées, d'amour, de voiture et d'échangeur, de maisons de rêve et de villes faciles, sont le support d'une réflexion originale sur la crise urbaine et les réponses à apporter. Les « auteurs-acteurs » de la ville, politiques et professionnels, n'ont plus qu'à saisir et appliquer les solutions proposées, « sans attendre pour ça que le monde aille bien ».

Summary:
Silence is not simply the absence of noise. It is within us, in that inner citadel which great writers, thinkers, scholars and people of faith have cultivated over the centuries. Today, when noise is everywhere, distinguished historian Alain Corbin goes back to a time when speech was rare and precious.Silence, prerequisite for contemplation, reverie and prayer, is that private space out of which speech emerges. It characterises our most intimate and sacred spaces, from private bedrooms to grand cathedrals – those vast reservoirs of silence. Philosophers and novelists have long sought solitude and inspiration in mountains and forests. Yet despite the centrality of silence to some of our most intense experiences, the transformations of the twentieth century have gradually diminished its value. Today, raucous urban spaces and a continual bombardment from different media pressure us into constant activity. We are losing a sense of our inner selves, a process which is changing the very nature of the individual.

Summary:
For three years, Caleb Cain Marcus has been photographing what Robert Frank calls, in his haiku-esque preface to this volume, “the light of night.” The black-and-white photographs collected in this monograph explore the silent and haunting experience of walking alone after dark on the streets of New York City. Caleb Cain Marcus savors the strange solitude that follows the familiar crowded confinement of the city's daylight life; amid vacated construction sites, empty pews in churches, parking lots and subway tunnels, an eerily placid beauty resounds, consuming spaces that were once filled with bustle and chaos. As each shot marks the passing of another night, the collection accumulates a quiet, consistent resonance. Cain Marcus' work urges the viewer to slow down, to look at and breathe in the mute magic of night-time New York. "The Silent Aftermath of Space" is presented in large format, allowing viewers to submerge themselves in its mood. Exposed from direct light sources, these images are grainy and enigmatic nocturnal gems.

They’re also spaces to find some solitude—a quiet corner to read a book or have a Saturday afternoon nap. Homes need to do it all—they sustain you, inspire you, and tell your story through architecture, design, and collections. Monocle has always celebrated everything that makes a space a home when covering residences—whether featuring a city hideaway, a modernist seaside residence, or a summer outpost in a forest. The Monocle team brings this all together in one volume that explores individual homes, housing projects old and new, communities of self-builders, even whole neighborhoods where a simple philosophy of building well has created quality of life for many. "The Monocle book of homes" is packed with great photography that delivers the bigger picture and the smallest details alongside fascinating essays full of advice by key thinkers, writers, and designers. As we spend more time at home than ever, this is a book that could change how you live.

Summary:
"Space, the city and social theory" offers a critical account of key approaches to cities and urban space within social theory and analysis. It explores the relation of the social and the spatial in the context of critical urban themes: community and anonymity; social difference and spatial divisions; politics and public space; gentrification and urban renewal; gender and sexuality; subjectivity and space; experience and everyday practice in the city. The text adopts an international and interdisciplinary approach, drawing on a range of debates on cities and urban life. It brings together classic perspectives in urban sociology and social theory with the analysis of contemporary urban problems and issues. Rather than viewing the urban simply as a backdrop for more general social processes, the discussion looks at how social and spatial relations shape different versions of the city: as a place of social interaction and of solitude; as a site of difference and segregation; as a space of politics and power; as a landscape of economic and cultural distinction; as a realm of everyday experience and freedom. Similarly, it examines how core social categories - such as class, culture, gender, sexuality and community - are shaped and reproduced in urban contexts.

The island was Klovharun, where for thirty summers Tove and her beloved partner, the visual artist, Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä, lived, painted, and wrote, energized by the solitude and shifting seascapes. The island’s flora, fauna, and weather patterns provided deep inspiration which can be seen reflected in all of Jansson’s work, most famously in her bestselling novel ''The Summer Book'' and her longstanding comic strip and novels for children, ''Moomin''. Tove’s signature spare, quirky prose, and Tooti’s subtle ink washes and aquatints combine to form a work of meditative beauty, a chronicle of living peacefully in nature and observing the island’s ecology and character. ''Notes from an Island'' is both a work of artistic collaboration and an homage to the deep love the two women shared. One feels as if Jansson’s journal, with Tooti’s sketches tucked inside, has been unearthed like a treasure from under a pile of old quilts in the back of their rustic cabin.

Summary:
Born in 1934 in Naples--where he still lives and works--Mimmo Jodice has been at the top of his profession, one of the great Italian masters of photography, for more than 45 years. This volume celebrates Jodice's architectural work, uniting his portraits of eight world capitals into a kind of self-portrait. Four of the cities have been the subjects of previous titles: Paris: City of Light; Inlands: A Vision of Boston; São Paulo and La città invisibile: Nuove vedute di Napoli; and four are new to print, including Rome, Moscow, Tokyo and New York. When Jodice's Medeterranean appeared, which includes some Rome images, the architecture critic Herbert Muschamp observed of it in the New York Times that "Mr. Jodice depicts a mythical place, a romantic intertwining of wholeness and solitude: the oceanic sensation of merger between a self and its surroundings." That impression of unity is as strong--if not as relaxing--in his contemporary urban landscapes as in his ancient ones. With text from Stefano Boeri of Domus magazine and an interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist. Jodice's previous books, in addition to those above, include Light, Eden and Tempo Interiore.

Summary:
Comment concevoir la ville lorsque nos expériences les plus intimes sont constamment traquées et nos sentiments utilisés comme base à de nouveaux modes de production favorisant l’immatériel au détriment du matériel ? Depuis la crise financière de 2008, les listes d’indicateurs du bien-être et d’indices du bonheur, ainsi que les classements fondés sur la qualité de vie, circulent de manière virale. Parallèlement, les données émotionnelles présentées dans ces enquêtes, y compris les perceptions relatives aux notions de solitude, d’amitié et de peurs intimes, alimentent un agenda politique du bonheur en croissance et une nouvelle forme de marché dont l’atout le plus déterminant est l’« affect ». Nos jours heureux examine les implications architecturales de cette tendance en disséquant et en questionnant les conditions politiques, économiques et émotionnelles qui génèrent l’espace aujourd’hui. Structuré comme une narration visuelle – assortie de lectures critiques de William Davies, Daniel Fujiwara, Simon Fujiwara, Ingo Niermann, Deane Simpson et Mirko Zardini –, cet ouvrage présente l’architecture, la ville et le paysage comme des surfaces contestées, prises entre les lignes directrices intangibles des indices de bonheur, le nouveau marché des émotions et l’idéologie implacable de la positivité.

Summary:
"Les moisissures sont les ennemies numéro 1 de l'univers de l'archive.'Facteurs de risques", elles sont des "agents de dégradations" contre lesquelles la lutte est de mise. Dans ce contexte, leur potentiel créatif est injustement négligé. Il est pourtant exploité depuis l'aube des temps par l'homme qui utilise le pouvoir transformant des micro-organismes pour faire son pain quotidien, son vin, sa bière et tous ses fromages. Dans un texte de 1856 voué à encourager les rechercher sur la stabilité des procédés photographiques, le chimiste Victor Regnault, premier président de la Société française de photographie, insistait sur le fait que seul le temps pourrait juger de la permanence de tel ou tel procédé photographique. De la même façon, c'est avec le temps que se déploie et prend forme l'ouvrage des moisissures. Merveilles de l'oubli, succès de la négligence et du désintérêt, ces images, abîmées par une inondation ancienne, ont été privées de la lumière du jour pendant des années. La solitude de leur confinement, ajouté au ressources organiques inhérentes à leur procédé (gélatine, fécule de pomme de terre), a fournit un terreau idéal à une prolifération créative aléatoire.

Summary:
"Les moisissures sont les ennemies numéro 1 de l'univers de l'archive.'Facteurs de risques", elles sont des "agents de dégradations" contre lesquelles la lutte est de mise. Dans ce contexte, leur potentiel créatif est injustement négligé. Il est pourtant exploité depuis l'aube des temps par l'homme qui utilise le pouvoir transformant des micro-organismes pour faire son pain quotidien, son vin, sa bière et tous ses fromages. Dans un texte de 1856 voué à encourager les rechercher sur la stabilité des procédés photographiques, le chimiste Victor Regnault, premier président de la Société française de photographie, insistait sur le fait que seul le temps pourrait juger de la permanence de tel ou tel procédé photographique. De la même façon, c'est avec le temps que se déploie et prend forme l'ouvrage des moisissures. Merveilles de l'oubli, succès de la négligence et du désintérêt, ces images, abîmées par une inondation ancienne, ont été privées de la lumière du jour pendant des années. La solitude de leur confinement, ajouté au ressources organiques inhérentes à leur procédé (gélatine, fécule de pomme de terre), a fournit un terreau idéal à une prolifération créative aléatoire. Aujourd'hui offertes à la contemplation, ces images bouleversées nous rappellent combien les qualités esthétiques d'une photographie sont décidément indépendante d'une volonté artistique." -- Luce Lebart
