Summary:
''Dreamscapes'' is a long-term artistic series by Swiss photographer Dominic Büttner. In it, Büttner records performances at night, both in natural and built environments. Holding a torch, he walks slowly away from a large-format view camera as a time exposure captures the scene, illuminated by moving light from which the artist himself is subsequently erased. By turns strange and yet somehow familiar, the fascinating landscapes show what an eerie place our everyday surroundings can be, depending on the light in which we experience them.

Summary:
With her great passion for music, architecture, the theatre and opera, Helg's photographs create monumental spaces in which sculpture, painting, installations, and most of all light are constantly interwoven. Like a window opening onto the invisible, giving glimpses of the mind, her light-filled world is weirdly beautiful, at once poetic and spiritual. You step inside and then lose your bearings, as if in a drunken stupor, and tempted to let yourself slide slowly, dangerously between blinding light and total darkness. Beatrice Helg's work ultimately explores the infinite; it is a quest for the absolute, or rather a delving into the boundless identity of an inner mystery. This book presents a selection of her photographs taken over the past twenty-five years, accompanied by original commentary by Robert Wilson, as well as critical writings and poetry by Philippe Piguet, Serge Linares and Sylviane Dupuis.

Summary:
''Danish ceramic architecture'' offers a presentation of Danish architecture that has not been seen before. With ceramic and light brick facades as a medium, it narrates a piece of Danish architectural history unknown to most people. It is thus a new way of approaching the Danish architectural treasure – by zooming in on approximately the past 130 years and otherwise overlooked buildings, as well as telling new stories about well-known works. Through essays by and interviews with leading architecture thinkers and practitioners – as well as dozens of projects with facades in ceramic and light tile, by major Danish architectural firms such as Vilhelm Lauritzen, Cobe and BIG – the purpose of the book is to relate ceramic and light tile facades to central Danish (and international) currents in architecture and material. In this way, it will help pointing forward to new forms of architectural expression.

For Georges Didi-Huberman, artist James Turrell is an inventor of impossible spaces and unthinkable sites, of aporias, of fables. Creator of some of the most fascinating works of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, Turrell uses as his medium the most elemental material of sight and art: light. One crucial aspect of his work is the fabulation of place and(...)

Summary:
For Georges Didi-Huberman, artist James Turrell is an inventor of impossible spaces and unthinkable sites, of aporias, of fables. Creator of some of the most fascinating works of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, Turrell uses as his medium the most elemental material of sight and art: light. One crucial aspect of his work is the fabulation of place and vision with its foundation deep in history. Didi-Huberman takes the reader on a journey between the impossible limit of the horizon and the arrival into a site of reverie and light, from the story of Exodus to the Pala d’Oro of San Marco’s Basilica in Venice, through art history and the origins of religious worship, finally plunging into Turrell’s cadmium dust and light, into the Painted Desert of his installation Roden Crater. For the esteemed art historian, Turrell’s artistic practice becomes the equivalent of walking along endless pathways in the desert, in “minuscule cathedrals where man discovers himself walking in color.”

Summary:
The Milanese photographer and long-distance traveler captures the light (and visual contrasts) of Rome while walking through the city. Giovanna Silva arrived in Rome in January of 2020 and immediately set off walking. Following the suggestions of her personal guides – artists, writers, intellectuals, Romans of all shapes and idioms – she began to get to know the city. She returned to certain places over and over again, overtaken by meticulous and neurotic attention, moved by an unexpected passion for light. Tucked between her photographs is a text by Alberto Savinio about the magic of walking and discovering a foreign place.

A leading light of contemporary Japanese art, one of Ohtake’s most successful and endearing installations is his design for a public bathhouse in Naoshima, offering traditional ‘Yu’ hot baths. Ohtake’s art and ephemera covers the building, while entrance fees are low to encourage its use. Bathers step into Ohtake’s bright fantasy world, where giant model elephants walk mezzanine floors, the tiling is a nightmare version of Delftware, and stained glass windows light tranquil corners. This book takes the form of a concertina of vivid cards, packed with images of the bathhouse and its influences from popular culture.
