Résumé:
Encircling London like a noose, the M25 is a road to nowhere, but when Iain Sinclair sets out to walk this asphalt loop - keeping within the 'acoustic footprints' - he is determined to find out where the journey will lead him.

Résumé:
Building Subjects, the fourth issue of Standpunkte Magazine, is a collaboration between the architect De Peter Yi, the art historian Nancy P. Lin, and the graphic design studios Normal and Some All None. The publication revolves around collective housing in China, an architectural challenge expressive of the country's ongoing negotiations between its rich history and undetermined future. The study combines typological research with the modes of the architectural manifesto by establishing an exchange between cultural-historical observations, the consideration of contemporary socio-economic pressures, and evolving architectural aspirations. Through a close reading of spaces from monumental utopian communes in Beijing to round earthen dwellings in the Fujian province, Building Subjects stages collective housing as a key to residential architecture in China. The publication is simultaneously inward and outward looking, and this duality is also reflected in its meticulously composed layout: documentary photography and detailed axonometric drawings are juxtaposed to establish a correspondence between old and new, between reality and projection.

« Lorsqu'on pense à Chaplin, on a envie, avant tout, de faire la lumière sur cet étrange mode de pensée qui lui permet de voir les événements d'une manière si bizarre et de leur répondre par des images d'une telle bizarrerie ; et, dans ce mode de pensée, d'identifier l'élément qui, avant même de se constituer en vision du monde, existe au stade de l'observation du monde(...)

« Lorsqu'on pense à Chaplin, on a envie, avant tout, de faire la lumière sur cet étrange mode de pensée qui lui permet de voir les événements d'une manière si bizarre et de leur répondre par des images d'une telle bizarrerie ; et, dans ce mode de pensée, d'identifier l'élément qui, avant même de se constituer en vision du monde, existe au stade de l'observation du monde environnant. Bref, nous ne nous occuperons pas de la conception du monde de Chaplin, mais de sa perception du monde, de sa capacité à appréhender la vie, laquelle engendre les conceptions inimitables, uniques, de ce qu'on appelle l'humour chaplinien... »

Résumé:
From the beet fields of North Dakota to the National Forest campgrounds of California to Amazon's CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older Americans. Finding that social security comes up short, often underwater on mortgages, these invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in late-model RVs, travel trailers, and vans, forming a growing community of nomads: migrant laborers who call themselves ''workampers.'' On frequently traveled routes between seasonal jobs, Jessica Bruder meets people from all walks of life: accompanying them from campground toilet cleaning to warehouse product scanning to desert reunions, then moving on to the dangerous work of beet harvesting, Bruder tells an eye-opening tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy- one that foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us.

Résumé:
French photographer and musician Olivier Degorce is usually associated with the emergence of the 1990s electronic music scene, where he was one of the first to compulsively document the Paris raves and electric underground scene. But with camera always in hand, he created many more series, which are only now coming to light. In ''Fridge Food Soul,'' Degorce became fascinated with the contents of peoples refrigerators, creating a voluminous archive of images from 1993 to 2017. Using various cameras, from large formal to point and shoot, he captured the colors and smells of items fresh and long expired, while never missing an opportunity to raid a fridge and capture the sheer diversity of individual eating habits. The final presentation is a voyeuristic-like collection of contemporary still lifes.
