Summary:
"The Japanese photobook", 1912–1990 illustrates the development of photography as seen in photo publications in Japan--from the early influence of European and American pictorialism, the German Bauhaus and imperial military propaganda to the complete collapse and destruction of the country in 1945. Then followed a new beginning: with the unique self-determination of a young generation of photographers and visual artists highlighted by the Provoke style--an experimental Japanese photography magazine that had a profound effect on the medium in the 1970s and ‘80s--as well as protest and war documentation of the late 1950s to the early ‘70s, the signature Japanese photobook, as we have come to know it, was born.

Summary:
France experienced a golden age of photobook production from the late 1920s through the 1950s. Avant-garde experiments in photography, text, design, and printing, within the context of a growing modernist publishing scene, contributed to an outpouring of brilliantly designed books. Making Strange offers a detailed examination of photobook innovation in France, exploring seminal publications by Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Pierre Jahan, William Klein, and Germaine Krull. Kim Sichel argues that these books both held a mirror to their time and created an unprecedented modernist visual language. Sichel provides an engaging analysis through the lens of materiality, emphasizing the photobook as an object with which the viewer interacts haptically as well as visually. Rich in historical context and beautifully illustrated, 'Making Strange' reasserts the role of French photobooks in the history of modern art.

Summary:
Une enquête photographique collective sur le sentiment d’appartenance à un territoire. Que signifie « être d’ici »? Partant du constat d’une société toujours plus fragmentée socialement et territorialement, le collectif de photographes LesAssociés a mené à l’échelle de la région Nouvelle-Aquitaine, une enquête qui vise à élargir cette question identitaire. Et si, à l’heure des nouveaux ensembles – régions, Europe –, nos identités étaient multiples? « D’ici, ça ne paraît pas si loin » invite à trois voyages – géographique, temporel et affectif –, autour de trois questions : quelle ruralité à l’ère des métropoles? quel horizon pour chacun? d’où se raconte l’histoire qu’un territoire inspire? S'incarnant dans une géographie abstraite qui dépasse les frontières du Sud-Ouest, ce livre mêle textes et images en renouvelant les idées de faire culture et de faire société.

En 74 images, Riding Modern Art regroupe 48 sculpteurs et 66 skateurs documentés par 43 photographes aux quatre coins du monde. Il s’agit pour Raphaël Zarka d’une réflexion sur la sculpture dans le cadre d’un questionnement plus général sur la notion d’espace public et des « pratiques d’espaces » des habitants, proche des réflexions de Michel de Certeau (L’Invention du Quotidien, I : Arts de faire, Gallimard, 1990).

Summary:
One pairs artists and writers to think about this question. Eight photographers: Marco Breuer, Thomas Joshua Cooper, John Gossage, Trevor Paglen, Alison Rossiter, Victoria Sambunaris, Rebecca Norris Webb and James Welling were asked to submit one image on the theme of minimalism. Eight writers David Campany, Teju Cole, Christie Davis, John D’Agata, Michael Fried, Darius Himes, Leah Ollman and Laura Steward were enlisted to respond to those submissions, each paired with a specific image. The results offer a probing assessment of Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s maxim: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

Summary:
Inspired and guided by Bernd and Hiller Becher, themselves pioneers in the area of documentary photography, the artists of Germany’s Düsseldorf School not only pushed the boundaries of their teachers’ practice, but also ushered in three generations of technical and compositional achievement that is rivalled in importance only by the arrival of colour photography. This book introduces readers to the historic, cultural, and scientific environments in which the Bechers’ practice thrived. It explores the teaching philosophies with which they encouraged their students, and considers the qualities that highlight the Düsseldorf School: intricate detail, large scale, painterly distance combined with an immersive quality. The plate section, organized by artist, features 160 images by Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, Candida Höfer, Axel Hütte, Laurenz Berges, Elger Esser, Simone Nieweg, Jörg Sasse, and Petra Wunderlich.
