Nous sommes en 1943, Hannah Arendt s’est exilée aux États-Unis et écrit ces pages dans la langue de sa patrie d’adoption. Jusqu’à l’extermination des Juifs, le terme 'réfugié' désignait un individu contraint à trouver refuge en raison d’un acte ou d’une opinion politique.

Désormais, ce sont ceux qui débarquent, privés de moyens, dans un nouveau pays et recherchent de l’aide auprès de comités de réfugiés. Hannah Arendt exprime la difficulté à évoquer ce passé tout récent. Pas d’histoires d’enfance ou de fantômes donc, mais le regard rivé sur l’avenir et, si possible, prédit par le ciel plutôt qu’inscrit dans la terre.

Summary:
The first book release by young Swiss photographer Peter Hauser shows his straightforward, analog black and white pictures of nature and urban landscapes that yield a distinctive observation of perceptual phenomena: rectangles float; shadows fall into hard-edge shapes; surfaces reveal patterns and unlikely grids. Photographer Edward Weston drew a distinction between making pictures to learn about the world and those that impose a vision upon it. It was his intention to make pictures, he once said, not as “an interpretation, a biased opinion of what nature should be, but a revelation — an absolute, impersonal recognition of the significance of facts.”. Peter Hauser's work is subscribing to this mantra.

Ilan Stavans and Joshua Ellison seek to understand why we travel and what has come to be missing from our contemporary understanding of travel. Engaging with canonical and contemporary texts, they explore the differences between travel and tourism, the relationship between travel and memory, the genre of travel writing, and the power of mapmaking, Stavans and Ellison call for a rethinking of the art of travel, which they define as a transformative quest that gives us deeper access to ourselves.

Summary:
It is not a book about colors. It is rather Kenya Hara’s attempt to explore the essence of "White", which he sees as being closely related to the origin of Japanese aesthetics – symbolizing simplicity and subtlety. The central concepts discussed by the author in this publication are emptiness and the absolute void. Good communication is the ability to listen to each other, rather than to press one’s opinion onto the opponent. Kenya Hara compares this form of communication with an "empty container". In visual communication, there are equally signals whose signification is limited, which, like an "empty container," permit signification and do not limit imagination. The Japanese character for white also forms a radical of the character for emptiness.

Ai Weiwei, born in the Socialist People's Republic of China, is one of the most important artists of the present global art scene. For his provocative political opinion he had been taken under house detention - he plant a celebration for the official governmental demolition of his Studio. His creations are based on the idea to provoke discussions about their content. For example, he spread about 150 tons of porcelain sunflower seeds on the floor of the Tate Modern in London to remind especially young Chinese people of propagandistic pictures which show Mao Tse-tung in the middle of sunshine and sunflower seeds. This book embraces some of the astonishing works of the exceptional artist.
