Summary:
In the two related bodies of work that form this volume’s centerpiece, New York–based photographer Zoe Leonard (born 1961) poses fundamental questions about the medium of photography and the nature of sight. In a series of large-scale installations, the artist employed the principle of the camera obscura, pairing it with gelatin silver photographs of the sun. The image in Leonard’s room-size camera obscuras is immersive and continuous, shifting constantly in response to the fleeting light of the outside world and unraveling in the surrounding space to come into its full vibrancy. Leonard’s camera obscuras have been sited in cities in Europe and the United States, from Venice and London to New York and Marfa. This title explores this body of work through photographs that document these installations in five international cities.

Summary:
''Light Scripture'' collects three photo essays by Swiss photographer Andreas Greber. Created over the course of two decades, Greber’s photographs show simple scenes, such as fragments of a wall, translucent portraits, and wooded landscapes. Yet they are enigmatic and unsettling in that, while visible, their subjects escape the determination of shadow and light. For(...)

Summary:
''Light Scripture'' collects three photo essays by Swiss photographer Andreas Greber. Created over the course of two decades, Greber’s photographs show simple scenes, such as fragments of a wall, translucent portraits, and wooded landscapes. Yet they are enigmatic and unsettling in that, while visible, their subjects escape the determination of shadow and light. For Greber, this is the essence of photography: inscribing with light.

An architectural practice focusing on buildings that respond to environmental conditions can make us more aware of weather and help us(...)

Summary:
In her work, visual artist Popel Coumou plays with the main elements of photography: light, paper, and the perception of reality. By carefully lighting her collages, she manages to give the paper relief a third dimension; the flat surface comes to life. She creates empty spaces, compositions and graphic lines verging on the abstract. Figures rarely appear in her work, but(...)

Summary:
In her work, visual artist Popel Coumou plays with the main elements of photography: light, paper, and the perception of reality. By carefully lighting her collages, she manages to give the paper relief a third dimension; the flat surface comes to life. She creates empty spaces, compositions and graphic lines verging on the abstract. Figures rarely appear in her work, but there is always a sign of recent human presence, such as an empty chair or an open door. Published on the occasion of an exhibition at Fotomuseum Den Haag, ''Paper and light'' is an overview of Coumou’s work to date, including new work in an enlarged collage technique, specially produced for the museum.

The rapid development of "information technology" has also effected the layout and planning of our towns. Increasingly, physical structures are being covered with a veneer of visual-virtual light architecture which makes use of the new media to alter existing buildings and quarters, enriching and enhancing them. The townscape of tomorrow will become a huge, multilayered screen, which will draw the passers-by into an interactive electronic world.
