Résumé:
La villa Noailles a souhaité arrêter un instant Iwan Baan, un étonnant voyageur qui ne cesse de parcourir la planète pour repérer et capturer certaines architectures du temps présent, afin de saisir la vie qui se déroule avec elles. Ces 52 regards photographiques sur 52 semaines sont autant d'étapes de son parcours sans fin autour du globe. Ce qui l'intéresse, c'est cette vie qui se joue dans et autour de ces nouveaux édifices tels que le 1 1 1 1 des architectes Herzog & de Meuron à Miami, ou l'Académie des arts de Wang Shu en Chine, mais aussi le musée Knut Hamsun en Norvège de Steven Holl, l'opéra Za-Koenji de Toyo Ito à Tokyo... Ces architectes, et d'autres, témoignent généreusement ici du rôle singulier tenu par Iwan Baan dans la photographie d'architecture ainsi que des liens en mutation entre les deux disciplines.

Résumé:
Ernst Schwitters (1918-1996) began his career in photography in his teens, converting the family bathroom into a darkroom with the consent of his parents, Kurt and Helma Schwitters, at the age of 15 - by which time Ernst was already experimenting with photograms, following a visit from family friend Man Ray. His father encouraged him to undergo formal training in photography, but Ernst declined, preferring to teach himself, and by 1930 he was already participating in international exhibitions, having found his preferred subject matter in the landscapes of Norway and England. Having led the Schwitters family's migration from Nazi Germany to Norway, Ernst was to receive great acclaim there for both his landscape and architectural photography, and was also able to establish financial security through assignments for the Norwegian advertising agency SS-UNU-Foto. It is little known that Schwitters is one of color photography's pioneers: he began working with color film in 1943, and within two decades, he had created more than 10,000 slides, many of which have been digitally restored for this new volume. The only monograph on the photographer currently in print, the publication debuts Schwitters' vast oeuvre of color landscape photography, and also includes a fascinating account of the digital restoration process that allowed for their publication here.

Résumé:
Paul Ott is one of the most prominent modern European architectural photographers. Ott’s images always convey more than the pure physiognomy of the buildings he photographs. In free photo series, he explores the structures that influence how we perceive our surroundings at least as much as does the architects’ skill: anonymous agricultural buildings, skyscrapers and their fates, and the dramatic backdrops provided by mega-cities like Sao Paolo. This book offers a representative cross-section of Paul Ott’s photographic oeuvre and also makes readers aware that the shaping of our surroundings is to a great extent also based on “learned,” mediated images of and in architecture. Four essays examine his work from the perspectives of art theory and architecture.

Résumé:
New York-based photographer Stanley Greenberg has long entranced viewers with black-and-white photographs that provide unparalleled access to objects and places ordinary people might otherwise never see--from New York's century-old water system to the hidden infrastructure of some of the world's most impressive architectural works. In his new book, Greenberg trains his lens on the unfailingly strange world of nuclear and particle physics. From Fermilab to neutrino hunting in Antarctica to ongoing attempts to re-create the conditions of the Big Bang using the world's largest atom smasher in Switzerland, Greenberg has over the course of five years traveled to--and photographed--many of the most important experiments in modern physics.

Résumé:
Extensively covered by the media, debated by the governments of the world and claimed by vying religions, Israel is a remarkable case study for understanding the rise and fall of empires. By highlighting the country's historic architecture and its highly contentious ruins, Israeli photographer Shai Kremer (born 1974) questions how these sites figure today in the discourse of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the future of the nation. This publication invites viewers to consider new relationships between the histories and identities assembled and disassembled in the creation of modern Israel. As Kremer explains, “Israel is overloaded with sediments of past empires. More than half of the current IDF (Israel Defense Forces) strongholds rest on the ruins of military sites of former empires. The recycling of these spaces, from one conqueror to the next, shows how most empires tried to conquer and rule this land, with one similar outcome: they eventually failed.”

Résumé:
Maisel’s work has always been concerned with processes of memory, excavation, and transformation. These themes are given new form in his latest work, History’s Shadow. In this series, Maisel re-photographs x-rays from museum archives that depict artifacts from antiquity, scanning and digitally manipulating the selected source material. X-rays have historically been used by art conservators for structural examination of art and artifacts much as physicians examine bones and internal organs; they reveal losses, replacements, construction methods, and internal trauma invisible to the naked eye. By transcribing both the inner and outer surfaces of their subjects simultaneously, they form spectral images of indeterminate space, depth, and scale. The resulting photographs seem like transmissions from the distant past, both spanning and collapsing time. They express – through feeling and art, as well as science and reason – the shape-shifting nature of time itself, and the continuous presence of the past contained within us. The book contains an original short story by Jonathan Lethem that was inspired by Maisel’s images.
