Résumé:
An extreme weather event hit north-eastern Italy in October 2018. The Sirocco wind blew up to 200 kilometres per hour through the Dolomite valleys, knocking some 14 million trees to the ground. The incessant rain caused torrents to overflow, dragging logs and debris downstream. Overnight, the inhabitants of a number of mountain communities in Trentino,Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia found their cellars flooded and even their houses torn apart by the winds. More than six years later, the consequences of storm Vaia are still visible and tangible. The slopes of various mountains are barren. The remaining forests have been invaded by the spruce bark beetle: a parasite that feeds on wood. Without the plants, there is no protection against landslides and avalanches. While experts and locals are rolling up their sleeves to try and bring the situation back to normal, the total economic damage has been estimated at three billion euros.

Résumé:
"Doldrums" explores the therapeutic embrace of nature—the transformative power it holds in nurturing the spirit and facilitating self-reflection. California, specifically the San Francisco Bay Area, with its storied history as a beacon of prosperity and possibility, emerges as a familiar and compelling backdrop. It’s a place where people have always been drawn, seeking not only financial windfalls but also the promise of a better life—a westward pull that echoes through time. As I navigate the present, no longer burdened by the same fog of depression that led to the creation of this body of work, but rather fuelled by a hunger and longing for love and connection, "Doldrums" becomes a testament to the transformative power of time.

Résumé:
Since the late 90s, Dan Holdsworth has developed a reputation as one of the most innovative British photographers currently working with landscape. His early series concentrate on the quiet moments in everyday spaces: office buildings after work, car parks at night and deserted motorway flyovers. Such subjects are the basis for Holdsworth’s more recent examination of technology and isolation in modern society. In more recent years he has traveled internationally, studying the areas where technology and architecture are representative of an accelerated economic world at their most removed and alien. The photographs are silent and iconic, witnesses of our world.

Résumé:
"Turning back: a photographic journal of re-exploration" is published to coincide with the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The narrative begins at the Pacific ocean and moves eastward through what was formerly one of the world’s great rain forests. Photographs at the center of the book report on the forest’s destruction. Elsewhere they trace a search for hope. Two hundred years ago, Lewis and Clark reported finding in the American Northwest a vast forest of ancient evergreens. In "Turning back", Robert Adams looks again at the region’s trees, discovering evidence both of America’s failure and of a continuing promise. President Jefferson’s primary charge to Lewis and Clark was to prepare the way for American commerce. Today, historians still speculate about why, upon his return, Lewis lapsed into depression and apparently committed suicide. "Going east," Adams suggests, "was more difficult than going west." So then, what is the future? "Turning back" documents two kinds of predictive evidence. On the one hand we observe the results of greed so unrestrained that they are indistinguishable from those of nihilism. On the other we see what still lives, whether by our design or neglect, or Providence; in these 164 pictures the tone is celebratory, as in a prayer book. From coastal landscapes populated with tourists to timber clear-cutting and small family farms in eastern Oregon, here we reflect on what was lost, what is retained, and what we value both regionally and as a people with a common history.

Résumé:
Lee Friedlander is one of the most important of the 1960s generation of photographers for whom the posture of disinterested objectivity served as a vehicle for passionate personal inquiries. His large body of work - he most often produces extended series of pictures on a chosen theme, then publishes them in book form - is broad in subject matter and supple and complex in style, and focuses on what he calls America's "social landscape". At the same time, he has pursued a playful dialogue with artistic tradition - as though open-eyed curiosity about the world and a sophisticated taste for the wiles of picture-making were one and the same thing. "Friedlander" takes a deep critical look at Friedlander's abundantly productive career. Including over 500 photographs grouped by series, and an incisive essay by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, this oversized publication is the most comprehensive review of the photographer's career to date.

"What we want" is a compelling project of photographs, accounts and maps that describe an urban geography modified by new pioneers.
