Summary:
''The Devouring Eye: Photography and the Mouth'' is a provocative essay by Swiss photographer and academic Olivier Richon which rethinks the act of looking through the language of appetite, taste, and consumption. Drawn from a series of influential lectures delivered during his twenty-five-year tenure as Head of the Photography programme at the Royal College of Art (1997–2022) – a period during which the course shaped an entire generation of photographers – the book presents a meditation on the camera as both eye and mouth: an apparatus that ingests the world in order to produce images. Framed through a psychoanalytic lens, Richon proposes that photography is less a neutral act of observation than a form of visual incorporation. If looking maintains distance, the mouth abolishes it. The camera becomes a devouring organ, where the object is dissolved, digested, and made into an image. The desire to see becomes entangled with the desire to consume. Through this reading, photography is revealed as an insatiable medium – one that satisfies and frustrates our appetite for representation in equal measure. ''The Devouring Eye'' invites us to reconsider how we relate to images, and how deeply they live in us.

Summary:
After arriving in New York in 1938, Austrian photographer Lisette Model quickly found stunning early success. Her photographs graced the pages of renowned magazines and were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art. Their frank portrayals of ordinary Americans, captured in bars and restaurants, on the beach and in the streets, revolutionised the world of photography. Yet by 1950, Model had all but ceased to circulate her images, devoting herself instead to teaching a new generation of photographers, including Diane Arbus and Rosalind Fox Solomon. She gained the reputation, scandalous in business-like New York, of being ''difficult''. In this illustrated essay, Duncan Forbes offers a new interpretation of Model's photography and biography, asking whether the artist's rebelliousness is not in fact the key to understanding her remarkable life and work.

Des chantiers de construction de Berlin aux logements bâtis par Fernand Pouillon dans les années 1950 à Alger, le travail de Stéphane Couturier repense le rapport au médium photographique et à son caractère prétendument objectif. Par un principe de combinaison de plusieurs clichés, l'artiste propose, avec une grande diversité de formes et de couleurs, de véritables constructions photographiques, proches de l'abstraction, tout en gardant un fort ancrage documentaire – créant ainsi une nouvelle architecture visuelle.
