Hiraki Sawa uses lo-tech video animation to create poetic dreamscapes, ruminations on ideas of time and motion, innocence and alienation, dislocation and displacement. His seminal film ‘Dwelling’ was made while he was still a graduate student at the Slade School of Fine Art and brought him to the attention of the international art world. Certain leitmotifs recur throughout the films – a child’s rocking horse, migrating animals, model jet planes, objects which play out notions of travel and nomadism, of being at home and thinking of elsewhere.

This book is inspired by the experience of those who, usually for professional reasons, have to continually travel by air from one city, country or continent to another. Dubbed 'frequent flyers' by the airline companies, these seasoned travellers face journeys that are profoundly different from those who only occasionally go by plane. The photographs have been taken by Francesco Cianciotta, a manager in a multinational company who also belongs to the world of corporate travellers. When flying for work, he shares with other experienced passengers the haste of the journeys, the boredom of the queues at passport control, the time spent waiting for flights, the disorientation caused by jet lag and fleeting encounters in the cafeterias.

Né en 1926, Hugh Hefner est à l'origine du magazine Playboy et de sa compagne indissociable : la playmate.

Broccoli (le principal producteur des films de James Bond), Hefner est d'abord un authentique créateur d'univers. Sexy pour les uns, sexiste pour les autres, l'excentricité érotique de ses penthouses cache en réalité une cosmétique bien plus vaste. Avec son jet privé Big Bunny, ses hôtesses, ses clubs, ses Manoirs Est et Ouest, sa Grotte, son zoo, son lit connecté et ses filiales multimédias, Hefner a finalement inventé un monde illusoire à l'image de l'Amérique : le sien.

Summary:
From Leonardo da Vinci’s fantastic visions, to Richard Branson’s plans to offer commercial space travel by 2010, visionaries and entrepreneurs have long dreamed of how we will travel in the future. "Future tech: innovations in transportation" is a prescient look at how we will be moving forward over the coming decades. Whilst we are not yet travelling to work using jet-powered backpacks, the issue of transport in the future is becoming increasingly important. As roads have become more congested and the environment more fragile, the means of transport at our disposal seem less and less adequate. "Future tech" explores what designers and engineers around the globe are developing for the world of tomorrow. "Future tech" features prototypes already in the first stages of manufacture alongside more conceptual, speculative designs, as well as a history of mechanised transport and invention through the ages. There are chapters on public transport, road, air and water travel as well as personal mobility .

Although airports are now best known for interminable waits at check-in counters, liquid restrictions for carry-on luggage, and humiliating shoe-removal rituals at security, they were once the backdrops for jet-setters who strutted, martinis in hand, through curvilinear terminals designed by Eero Saarinen.

Summary:
Although airports are now best known for interminable waits at check-in counters, liquid restrictions for carry-on luggage, and humiliating shoe-removal rituals at security, they were once the backdrops for jet-setters who strutted, martinis in hand, through curvilinear terminals designed by Eero Saarinen. In the critically acclaimed Naked Airport, Alastair Gordon traces the cultural history of this defining institution from its origins in the muddy fields of flying machines to its frontline position in the struggle against international terrorism. From global politics to action movies to the daily commute, Gordon shows how the airport has changed our sense of time, distance, and style, and ultimately the way cities are built and business is done. He introduces the people who shaped and were shaped by this place of sudden transition: pilots like Charles Lindbergh, architects like Le Corbusier, and political figures like Fiorello LaGuardia and Adolf Hitler. Naked Airport is a profoundly original history of a long-neglected yet central component of modern life.

Summary:
When the Johnson Publishing Company, best known for Jet and Ebony, moved into its iconic building on Michigan Avenue, the structure symbolized a bold entry into both the Chicago skyline and the city’s cultural environment. This emblematic building was the first in Chicago designed and owned by African Americans, a modernist masterpiece that in 1980 the Washington Post called, “practically a monument—sometimes an ostentatious one—to black success.” David Hartt was given unprecedented access to the building, much of which retains its ’70s design, from bright gold accents to vintage see-through furniture. His resulting photographs take viewers on a rich and revealing tour. They capture the distinct physical characteristics while also illuminating the power structures and ideological purposes they once represented. Hartt’s collection also serves as an unexpected final documentation. Not long after Hartt captured these images, the Johnson Publishing Company announced it was selling its building and moving north. Stray Light is a time capsule of a historic building that once symbolized a bright future.

Summary:
We owe our idea of the contemporary exhibition to Harald Szeemann--the first of the jet-setting international curators. From 1961 to 1969, he was Curator of the Kunsthalle Bern, where in 1968 he had the foresight to give Christo and Jeanne-Claude the opportunity to wrap the entire museum building. Szeemann's groundbreaking 1969 exhibition When Attitudes Become Form, also at the Kunsthalle, introduced European audiences to artists like Joseph Beuys, Eva Hesse, Richard Serra and Lawrence Weiner. It also introduced the now-commonplace practice of curating an exhibition around a theme. Since Szeemann's death in 2005, there has been research underway at his archive in Tessin, Switzerland. An invaluable resource, this volume provides access to previously unpublished plans, documents and photographs from the archive, along with important essays by Hal Foster and Jean-Marc Poinsot. There is also an informative interview with Tobia Bezzola--curator at the Kunsthauz Zurich and Szeemann's collaborator for many years. Two of Szeemann's most ambitious exhibitions are presented as case studies: Documenta V (1972) and L'Autre, the 4th Lyon Biennial (1997). A biography, an illustrated chronology of Szeemann's exhibitions and a selection of his writings complete this exhaustive survey.

Ce livre présente trois projets autour de l’idée d’un voyage d’aventure commencé il y a 30 ans et interroge, au travers de différentes odyssées dans l’espace, l’idée d’un futur fondé sur la technologie. Depuis le voyage sur la lune en 1969, Alessandro Poli et Superstudio considèrent qu’il n’est plus possible d’imaginer notre environnement coupé de cet espace extérieur, devenu une nouvelle réalité. Leurs recherches approfondies ont abouti à un projet désormais légendaire : «Architettura interplanetaria», une autoroute reliant la terre à la lune. Michael Maltzan, architecte basé à Los Angeles, travaille quant à lui sur la conception d’un Voyage vers la lune nouveau laboratoire pour la NASA (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), qui remet en question les modèles actuels de bâtiments abritant la recherche scientifique; il propose un nouveau type d’environnement physique pour faciliter la collaboration dans les processus de recherche. Enfin, Greg Lynn, architecte lui aussi de Los Angeles, a initié, en collaboration avec des étudiants de l’université de Vienne et l’UCLA, un projet de recherche et de design pour de nouveaux terminaux sur la terre et sur la lune, destinés aux voyageurs entre ces deux destinations.
