Résumé:
These photographs showcase a variety of scenes, from a sunrise over Cologne to the slopes of the Rhine valley. The Rhine River flows through many of these pictures, its dynamic curves and lively current leading the eye through an intriguing mix of natural and urban landscapes. A new essay by art historian Wolfgang Kemp provides context for Sander’s work while introducing his contemporaries, including the writer Hans Ludwig Mathar and the painter Franz M. Jansen. Also explored are the ties between Sander’s landscapes and his portrait photography, which is celebrated worldwide. Crucially, Kemp highlights the need to consider the Rhineland’s unique political situation in the 1920s and 1930s for any discussion of Sander’s artistic approach.

Résumé:
This publication explores the ruins and remains of failed attempts to live in the desert’s harsh environments, depicting abandoned houses – small, often eccentric huts, both humorous and a little forlorn. Ruwedel examines the desert regions east of Los Angeles as a palimpsest of cultural and natural histories, presenting an inventory of a particular, and poignant, form of vernacular architecture; each structure might be read as a clue to the lives of anonymous individuals, and the impulse to create a home in the wilderness, however transitory.

Résumé:
Winner of the 2016 Prix Elysée, Martin Kollar’s new work, Provisional Arrangement, considers that which is temporary in a world made up of provisional situations and solutions. "We are tenants of culture", wrote Nicolas Bourriaud, foreseeing a world of precarious inhabitation of ideas. “I grew up in Czechoslovakia during the Communist era,” says Kollar, “and with the motto, with the Soviet Union for all Eternity – which has been one of my few experiences with eternity... People of my generation fight against the void left behind the abandoned dogmas.” It is this world that Kollar turns to, one of aborted eternities and slackened certainties – to situations which reveal the disintegra-tion of permanences, capturing their fall into the provisional.

Résumé:
Over the course of two years Van Severen travelled to Haute-Ariege several times during spring and summer and expanded her territory to the Spanish part of the Pyrenees, to Germany and more. "LAND : on the brink of some formidably complex matter" focuses on the transformation and fragmentation of the landscape. A human intervention, either subtle or defining, characterizes the images. We as humans destroy and construct, we shape the world irreversibly. LAND is a brief reminder of this.

Résumé:
Depuis plus de vingt ans Raymond Depardon a parcouru tout le continent africain auquel il a consacré plusieurs films. Il a réalisé ainsi une grande quantité de photographies dont 350 inédites sont présentées dans cet ouvrage. Ces photographies couvrent toute l’Afrique, à travers une présentation non pas par pays mais par associations originales. Ces associations privilégient un rythme soutenu, sans temps d’arrêt, des enchaînements qui montrent la vie au travers de sujets très variés : portraits, villes, paysages, religions, activités sociales et métiers mais aussi des conflits et la misère. A travers ses photographies, exemptes de toute volonté d’esthétiser son propos, Raymond Depardon ne livre aucun jugement sur l’Afrique, aucune thèse. Ce qui relie entre elles ces prises de vue, c’est l’impulsion de l’œil, simplement un regard de photographe et de grand voyageur sur les paysages et les hommes qui peuplent ce continent. Pourquoi des Afriques ? Depuis 1960, année de ma première rencontre avec le continent africain à l’âge de dix-huit ans, et jusqu’à mon dernier voyage cet hiver au Horar, je n’ai cessé de photographier l’Afrique. Mais que de lieux, de temps différents ! Une vie toute entière ne suffirait pas à prétendre connaître cette Afrique. Aujourd’hui, les prétextes, les raisons de ces voyages sont oubliés. C’est pour cela que j’avais envie de faire ce livre, pour rendre la liberté à toutes ces photographies et enfin réunir toutes ces Afriques, celles des pistes, des sourires, des famines et des guerres civiles. Je voulais oser ces quatre cents pages de photographies sous respiration. Je voulais étouffer devant l’immense Afrique, me trouver comme au bord d’une route où nous serions en panne pour plusieurs jours, envahis, à rester silencieux et à écouter. Je me souviens de chaque lieu, de chaque temps. J’ose le désordre, il le faut. Je réunis ces photographies prises pendant quarante-cinq ans de voyages en Afrique. Raymond Depardon

This title fixes the gaze on writers as we seldom see them. These photographs, and the stories that accompany them, were captured where the writers live, work, or play. The result is a series of portraits that take us inside writers’ lives and inside the process of making portraits—all served with a touch of refined literary gossip.

Résumé:
In 1909 the French banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn launched a monumentally ambitious project : to produce a color photographic record of human life on Earth. An internationalist and pacifist, Kahn believed that he could use the new autochrome - the world's first portable, true-color photographic process - to create a global photographic archive that would promote cross-cultural understanding and peace. Over the next twenty years, he sent a group of photographers to more than fifty countries around the world, amassing more than 72,000 images. Until recently his collection was all but forgotten. Now, a century after he began his "Archives of the Planet" project, this book - richly illustrated in color throughout - and the BBC series it follows are bringing Kahn's early twentieth-century pictures to a wide audience for the first time, and putting color into what we usually think of as a monochrome world.
