Résumé:
Cette monographie grand format propose de parcourir l’œuvre de Marina Gadonneix à l’occasion de son exposition au Centre Pompidou. Le corpus visuel, composé de ses plus importantes séries, est accompagné de textes critiques de Florian Ebner et Marcelline Delbecq, ainsi que d’un entretien avec l’artiste. En début et fin d’ouvrage, un atlas iconographique déploie un ensemble d’images scientifiques et artistiques, qui inspire la pratique de l’artiste et donne à voir ses recherches menées en amont de chaque projet. Marina Gadonneix questionne les diverses représentations du réel et inscrit son travail entre fiction et réalité, matérialité et immatérialité, simulation et illusion. Elle s’attache à vider, déconstruire, décadrer afin de révéler l’artificialité du monde moderne. Fondée sur de longues recherches, sa pratique photographique interroge la fabrication de l’image, qu’elle soit issue du monde du spectacle ou des sciences, et sa mise en scène à travers un objectif social et documentaire qui tend vers l’abstraction. Avec sa chambre photographique, elle nous emmène dans l’envers de l’image. Le concept de laboratoire guide ainsi tout son travail dans un style de plus en plus épuré, dépouillé, qui joue sur le potentiel d’émerveillement de l’image.

Résumé:
Dorothea Lange (1895–1965) aimed to make pictures that were, in her words, ''important and useful.'' Her decades-long investigation of how photography could articulate people’s core values and sense of self helped to expand our current understanding of portraiture and the meaning of documentary practice. Lange’s sensitive portraits showing the common humanity of often marginalized people were pivotal to public understanding of vast social problems in the twentieth century. Compassion guided Lange’s early portraits of Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico from the 1920s and 1930s, as well as her depictions of striking workers, migrant farmers, rural African Americans, Japanese Americans in internment camps, and the people she met while traveling in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Drawing on new research, the authors look at Lange’s roots in studio portraiture and demonstrate how her influential and widely seen photographs addressed issues of identity as well as social, economic, and racial inequalities—topics that remain as relevant for our times as they were for hers.

Résumé:
In 1955 two photographers were awarded grants from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation to embark on trips across the United States. Robert Frank (1924–2019) drove coast to coast, photographing the highways, bars, and people that formed the basis for his widely admired publication ''The Americans'' (1958). Todd Webb (1905–2000) walked across the country, searching for ''vanishing Americana and what is taking its place.'' Unaware of each other’s work, the photographers produced strikingly similar images of the highway, parades, and dim, smoky barrooms. Yet while Frank’s grainy, off-kilter style revealed many inequities of American life, Webb’s carefully composed images embraced clear detail and celebrated the individual oddities of Americans and their locales. This revelatory book is the first to publish Webb’s 1955 photographs and connects these parallel projects for the first time. More than one hundred images accompany text illuminating Frank’s and Webb’s different perspectives and approaches to similar subjects and places; the difference in reception of Frank’s iconic work and Webb’s relatively unknown series; and the place of the road trip in shaping American identity at midcentury.

Résumé:
"David Goldblatt: No ulterior motive" coincides with a major traveling retrospective of the renowned South African photographer’s work. From vintage handprints of the artist’s black-and-white photography, taken between the 1950s and the 1990s, to his post-apartheid, large-format, color work, photographs in the volume are approached thematically—under headers such as "Assembly," "Disbelief," "Dialogues," and "Extraction"—to draw out the artist’s core interests in working-class people, the landscape, and the built environment. Objects from Goldblatt’s (1930–2018) personal archive are also included. In an effort to create a more inclusive dialogue around Goldblatt’s work, the catalogue features images and texts by contemporary photographers and scholars, many of whom were mentored by Goldblatt, including Zanele Muholi and Sabelo Mlangeni. Some write on Goldblatt’s photographs, while others discuss his influence on their own work. Goldblatt devoted his life to documenting his country and its people. Known for his nuanced portrayals of life under apartheid, he covered a wide range of subjects, all of them intimately connected to South African history and politics. The wide-ranging voices in this catalogue foster a broad frame of reference for his work, thus countering a frequent misunderstanding of apartheid as a situation peculiar to South Africa.

Résumé:
From the 1960s onward, Allan Chasanoff (1936–2020) maintained a daily photographic practice, producing tens of thousands of images that pushed the limits of the medium and questioned its reliability as a document of reality. Preferring to experiment away from the art world, Chasanoff rarely exhibited his photographs, his art remaining unknown to all but a select circle of friends and collaborators. This catalogue is the first to survey his beguiling work. Artist Mónika Sziládi, who worked as an archivist for Chasanoff, contributes an outline of Chasanoff’s life and practice, tracing the development of his art from his early experiments with light, shadow, and color in his lens-shot photographs to his late-career foray into 3D printing, which he viewed as the latest frontier of photography. Influenced by the ideas of Marshall McLuhan and Jacques Derrida, Chasanoff understood photographic images to be full of multivalent symbolism, and his art highlights the fluid nature of the medium. Using analog optical effects, such as blurring and other distortions, and on-screen tools to cut and layer digital images, Chasanoff created a wide range of pictures, some of which reference or appropriate the work of artists like Henri Matisse, Mark Rothko, or Giorgio Morandi. With nearly 200 plates organized into 7 thematic sections, ''Seeing and not believing'' brings Chasanoff’s contribution to postmodern photography to a wider audience and underlines how the artist’s work challenges our assumptions about believing what we see.
