Résumé:
Hong Kong is often cited as the city with the most high-rise buildings and one of the highest population densities in the world. Photographer John Fung’s project ‘One Square Foot’ challenges the viewer to seek a different appreciation of the open, geometric abstraction and complexity of spatial relationships in our concrete cities. The high-rise buildings of Hong Kong are depicted through a complex series of multiple-exposure photographs that are aesthetically intriguing and that triumph over the emptiness of purposeless congestion.

Résumé:
Andreas Schmidt captures clear-sighted images on his nighttime rambles through the City of London — the historical heart of the city and one of the world’s financial centers. As was the case in his photobook Las Vegas, which dealt with another glittering, superficial world, here he also documents the seductive glamour of urban financial palaces while never losing sight of their inhuman exorbitance. Although hundreds of thousands of people work in the City, its dimensions are not human. Everything is oversized, made of steel, glass, and marble, and decorated with mindless ornamental elements. Only emergency exits or indoor plants are of normal size, and they look absurd next to everything else. Empty lobbies, conference rooms, and endless corridors conform to corporate design, but primarily emanate power and coldness. As the cover of the book attests, the venerable Bank of England long ago began fitting itself out with enormous grandeur : the Neoclassical façade by Sir John Soane (1828) was regarded as an insurmountable barrier for unauthorized persons.

Résumé:
Eikoh Hosoe's Kamaitachi, a classic and groundbreaking body of work, was originally released in 1969 as a limited-edition photobook of one thousand copies. A unique collaboration between photographer Eikoh Hosoe and Tatsumi Hijikata, the founder of ankoku butoh dance, the work documents their visit to a farming village in northern Japan and the improvisational performance that resulted, made with the participation of local villagers and inspired by the legend of kamaitachi, a weasel-like demon who haunts the rice fields and slashes those he encounters with a sickle. In 2005, in close consultation with the artist, Aperture released a limited-edition facsimile in homage to the original. This 2009 edition now includes four never-before-published images from the classic Kamaitachi series and a new text by Japanese scholar Donald Keene, as well as essays by Eikoh Hosoe and Suzo Takiguchi. This edition was painstakingly reworked by graphic artist Ikko Tanaka, designer of the original volume, shortly before his death.

Résumé:
A pioneering conceptual and multidisciplinary artist, Antin has lately turned her attention to creating enormous photo-realist settings based on Greek and Roman history and mythology. These works, often displayed as two-page spreads, are both comic and psychologically complex re-enactments from literature: Roman Allegories, Last Days of Pompeii, and Helen s Odyssey.

Résumé:
John Gutmann (1905–1998) was one of America’s most distinctive photographers. Born in Germany where he trained as an artist and art teacher, he fled the Nazis in 1933 and settled in San Francisco, reinventing himself as a photo-reporter. Gutmann captured images of American culture, celebrating signs of a vibrant democracy, however imperfect. His own status as an outsider—a Jew in Germany, a naturalized citizen in the United States—informed his focus on individuals from the Asian-American, African-American, and gay communities, as well as his photography in India, Burma, and China during World War II. This book acknowledges Gutmann’s place in the history of photography. Drawing on his archive of photographs and papers at the Center for Creative Photography, it presents both unfamiliar works and little-known contexts for his imagery, linking his photography to his passionate interest in painting and filmmaking, his collections of non-Western art and artifacts, and his pedagogy.
