Summary:
Architect and propagandist of the modern movement, Alberto Sartoris (1901-1998) assembled a remarkable photography collection of modern architecture, published in part in two anthologies that have since achieved mythical stature: «Gli elementi dell'architettura funzionale» and «l'Encyclopédie de l'architecture nouvelle». These photographs document the architectural works around the world, from Le Corbusier to Luis Barragàn, photographed by the best specialists of their period. This work presents the collection that Alberto Sartoris donated to the Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne. It also throws light on a poorly understood aspect of twentieth century architecture, namely, the mechanisms behind the creation and diffusion of the «image of modern architecture», as well as the determining role played by photography in this process.

Artiste contemporain majeur, Sigmar Polke reste pourtant mal connu du public français. Interroger ses pratiques photographiques permet de mesurer l'importance d'expérimentations remontant aux années 1960. Xavier Domino nous présente, non sans humour, le large spectre des protocoles mis en œuvre et des résultats obtenus. À la description des éléments constitutifs de la «Polkographie», fait suite un «No medium's land» où voisinent photocopies et peintures; enfin, en «Photopolkie», le photographique ouvre à une compréhension globale de l'œuvre, et fonde son originalité, au croisement improbable du Pop Art et du post-modernisme.

Bruno Delamain, photographe des grandes réalisations de la fin du siècle dernier – la Cathédrale d’Evry, le barrage des Trois Gorges en Chine, le Stade de France, Vulcania en Auvergne – a été retenu pour son regard sur l’architecture. Pendant un an il a suivi l’évolution du bâtiment Euralliance à Lille. Dans son carnet de chantier, il a conçu des images en noir et en gris reflétant des ambiances, des instants furtifs et la spécificité d’un lieu en construction. Cet ouvrage nous laisse découvrir à la fois des images académiques et d’autres plus surprenantes.

Summary:
Ydessa Hendeles is renowned not only as one of the foremost supporters of contemporary art but also as a curator and collector. The collection she has assembled under the auspices of the Ydessa Hendeles Art Foundation is one of the most original, prescient, and highly regarded contemporary art collections in the world - if one of the lesser known. Large parts of it are being shown for the first time in Haus der Kunst in Munich, assembled and arranged by Hendeles; this book has been conceptualized by her in conjunction with the exhibition. In typical Hendeles fashion, "Partners" combines artworks, press photos, anonymous snapshots, and everyday articles. Maurizio Cattelan's HIM, a depiction of Hitler on his knees, plays a key role, as does a large installation of thousands of historical snapshots of teddy bears.

Summary:
La photographie et la réalité sont intimement liées, et pourtant, que l'on se fasse photographier, que l'on produise ou que l'on regarde une image photographique, la photographie demeure un acte d'imagination. À travers neuf textes de fond originaux, des historiens de l'art et des théoriciens de la culture rompent avec la tradition photographique pour explorer le rôle crucial de l'imagination en photographie, depuis les portraits de studio du XIXe siècle jusqu'aux innovations numériques du XXIe siècle. Prenant appui sur les vingt-neuf expositions du Mois de la Photo à Montréal 2005, Image & Imagination présente les travaux de soixante artistes contemporains en provenance du Canada, de l'Australie, des États-Unis, de la France, de l'Angleterre, d'Haïti et du Japon, dont Marc Audette, Iain Baxter, Diane Borsato, Alain Bublex, Michel Campeau, Destiny Deacon, Evergon, Denis Farley, Adad Hannah, David Hlynsky, Tracey Moffatt, Shana et Robert ParkeHarrison, Lynne Marsh, Polixeni Papapetrou, Martin Parr, Ramona Ramlochand, Carolee Schneemann, Michael Snow et Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie. On retrouve, parmi les auteurs, Geoffrey Batchen (City University of New York), Catherine Bédard (Centre culturel canadien, Paris), Fae Brauer (University of New South Wales), Francine Dagenais (Université McGill), Martyn Jolly (Australian National University), Petra Halkes (Université Concordia), Martha Langford (Université Concordia), Kirsty Robertson (Queen's University) et Ian Walker (University of Wales College).
