Leipzig-born photographer Margret Hoppe is a promising new voice in European photographic art. This new book features her series Apres une Architecture, a photographic perspective of Le Corbusier's architecture that refers to his concept of a modern architecture laid-out in the book Vers une architecture (Toward an Architecture) of 1923. Hoppe's images show Le Corbusier's use of exposed concrete, the clarity of his geometric shapes and the emblematic polychrome surfaces as symbols of his buildings.

Summary:
Young German photographer Arne Schmitt’s black-and-white depictions of Cologne’s urban architecture, old and new, harken back to the theme-oriented photo-books of the 1950s and ’60s, which functioned as both political and social critique. Schmitt focuses his camera on the urban fabric of Cologne created by neo-liberal policies after WWII, inspired by the physical collapse in 2009 of the Stadtarchiv, Europe’s largest and oldest historical city archive. Built in the 1970s, the Stadtarchiv’s structural failure could be seen as symbolic of the disastrous consequences of the neo-liberal economic policies in Germany, the U.S. and Britain that led to the 2008–9 global economic collapse. Critiques of neo-liberalism often run into difficulty because they lack a clearly defined object of focus. Faced with structural complexities, their analysis and criticism is often directed toward isolated instances. Schmitt confronts this political conversation with the resolutely straightforward approach of the documentary eye.

Summary:
Interior architecture today operates at the intersection between physical and mediated spaces, such as those of mass communications, digital platforms or visual arts. Considering any form of representation as potentially architectural, from writing to photography, drawing to cinema, Javier Fernández Contreras traces the origins of this process of hybridisation between space and media back to the Renaissance and addresses the role of interiors as an experimental laboratory of late modernity. Combining historic scholarship with bold hypotheses, his essay explores contemporary interiors as platforms of ‘expanded media’, examining their belonging to different places and temporalities, whether physical or virtual, close or distant, ultimately reasserting the role of interior architecture in the construction of contemporaneity.

Summary:
Lavoie médite sur la relation entre un acte final, soit la pose du dernier crampon du Chemin de fer Canadien Pacifique traversant le pays d'est en ouest en 1885 et, en même temps, fondateur puisqu'il permettait de donner réalité à l'idée même de "pays". Cet évènement historique est revisité afin d'y inclure le rôle de tout gouvernement quant à l'établissement du concept de "la naissance de la nation". Illustrées avec des photographies, des dessins et des affiches d'époque, cette publication est le volet canadien de l'exposition du Mois de la Photo à Paris 2004 et accompagnera cette même exposition qui sera présentée au Musée McCord dans le cadre du Mois de la Photo à Montréal 2005. En français et anglais. -- This publication accompanies exhibitions in two international photography bienniales. Le Mois de la Photo à Paris 2004 and Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal 2005. The primal image referred to is the photograph recording the completion of Canada's national railway in 1885: "the driving of the last spike". Supported by a wide variety of historical and contemporary documentation, Lavoie shows how this apparently straightforward historical record was used to create the notion of Canada. By looking at the countless reproductions, copies and caricatures of this primal image he dissects the deliberate and ideological construction of nationhood. Profusely illustrated with photographs, film stills, posters and political cartoons from over 100 years. Produced in collaboration with the McCord Museum. In English and French.
