Summary:
Ce livre retrace la généalogie des pratiques décoratives de la photographie et leurs usages dans l’architecture du milieu du XIXe siècle à nos jours. Émergeant dès les années 1850, au moment de l’essor des arts industriel, les pratiques décoratives de la photographie contribuent au renouvellement et à la transformation des formes traditionnelles d’ornementation tout au long du XXe siècle et encore aujourd’hui. À travers un corpus inédit, Brenda Lynn Edgar explore une manière proprement photographique de créer l’ornementation architecturale, aussi bien dans la décoration intérieure que sur les façades et dans l’espace urbain.

Summary:
In the separate lexicon, installed at the beginning of this well conceived photographic book, Vallhonrat provides nine notes on how the images should be interpreted. Among them it is clear that his photographs explore ‘objects, places and actions,' along with ideas such as belonging, identity, and the processes of construction and transformation. Furthermore, these actions, objects and places shown in the images ‘find themselves in a no-mans land between reality, dreams and the fantasy found in children's stories.' Rich and mysterious, the 45 full colour photographs come printed, uninterrupted, one on each double page.
