Résumé:
A group of friends is attempting to enter a garden just beyond a wall. When they succeed, the garden they finally enter is no Eden, but rather a massive landscape of machines, geometric forms and all manner of nonorganic objects. In Japanese comic-book artist Yuichi Yokoyama's newest and longest work, his characters become enmeshed in a fantastic wonderland of distorted mirrors, photographic equipment, massive libraries and complex pathways. To his signature vivid visual style, Yokoyama has added more dialogue than in past works, fleshing out the characters and allowing them equal billing with his spectacular architectural creations, thus yielding a reflection on the myriad ways human interact with the complex mechanical world we have created.

Résumé:
1931, Scottsboro, Alabama : neuf jeunes Noirs sont injustement accusés d'avoir violé deux femmes blanches à bord d'un train de marchandises. Arrêtés et condamnés en quatre jours, huit d'entre eux risquent la chaise électrique. Ce recueil de 118 linogravures offre un point de vue inédit sur la bataille juridique et politique pour leur défense, l'une des plus célèbres de toute l'histoire américaine. Au-delà d'une simple dénonciation du racisme en vigueur dans le Sud des Etats-Unis, les auteurs ont voulu inscrire cet épisode dans le temps long de l'histoire de l'esclavage, et transformer ainsi le combat en faveur des "neuf de Scottsboro" en une lutte plus large pour la construction d'une société communiste. Document rare sur la lutte des classes et les combats pour l'égalité raciale dans l'Amérique des années 1930, tout autant qu'oeuvre graphique exceptionnelle, ces gravures réalisées à Seattle en 1935 ont été éditées aux Etats-Unis pour la première fois en 2002.

Résumé:
For almost a century chemical photobooths have occupied public spaces, giving people the opportunity to quickly take inexpensive, quality photos. In the last decade these machines have started to rapidly disappear, causing an eclectic group of individuals from around the world to come together and respond. Illustrator, writer and long-time photobooth lover, Meags Fitzgerald has chronicled the photobooth’s fortuitous history and the events which gave rise to the desperate need to save them. Having traveled in North America, Europe and Australia, she’s constructed a biography of the booth through the eyes of technicians, owners, collectors, artists and fanatics. In this ground-breaking book Fitzgerald struggles with her own relationship to these fleeting machines, while looking to the future.
