Résumé:
Ce livre rassemble pour la première fois le travail en Irlande d'Akihiko Okamura à l'occasion de la numérisation de ce corpus quasi inédit, accompagné de textes qui contextualisent son travail dans l'histoire de l'époque et celle du médium photographique. Pendant les Troubles, la lutte pour l'indépendance qui dura de 1969 à 1998, l'Irlande du Nord a attiré un grand nombre de photojournalistes étrangers venu documenter les événements. Certains d'entre eux ont trouvé un sujet qui les touchait personnellement, les poussant à dépasser les codes du photojournalisme. C'est le cas du photographe japonais Akihiko Okamura qui a réalisé un travail unique et remarquable en couleur dans les premières années du conflit, et qui est curieusement encore méconnu aujourd'hui. Né à Tokyo en 1929, Akihiko Okamura s'est distingué comme l'un des grands photographes de guerre de sa génération, opérant notamment au Vietnam au début des années 1960. Il est toujours très respecté au Japon, mais son travail et son expérience en Irlande, essentiels à la fois dans son oeuvre et pour sa vie personnelle, ont été peu explorés. Okamura est arrivé sur l'île avec sa famille en 1969 et y a vécu jusqu'à sa mort en 1985. Il a photographié son quotidien et les alentours, mais a vite été pris d'intérêt pour le nord du pays et sa lutte pour l'indépendance. Son attachement à ce pays et à son histoire l'ont conduit à produire l'une des oeuvres photographiques les plus significatives réalisées par un photographe étranger, mêlant à la fois cette simplicité du cadrage et du sujet, très japonaise, à une force dans la composition pour des sujets plus violents. En Irlande, il s'est éloigné du photojournalisme pour développer un témoignage plus personnel.

Drawing from this history as a metaphor for the long-enduring nature of Black culture and traditions, Hardtack uncovers the roots that tie Fortune's native landscape to the conflicts and nuances associated with the post-emancipation Americas. In the follow-up to his breakout monograph I can't stand to see you cry, Fortune borrows from the language of vernacular and archival photography to interrogate the historical relationship of his community to photography; rooted in the landscape, Fortune often uses sites of historical and cultural interest as a guide but not a subject, implying the deep ties that bind modern Black communities resiliently to their regions, in the face of both adversity and joy.

From gardening to cutting cake, from filling up the bird bath to mending a piece of clothing, from mowing the lawn to picking rhubarb, one gets to discover an everyday that might otherwise go unnoticed. In this book, which was generously edited and sequenced — 200 photographs in total — one is not only meant to see the moment shot in one photograph, but all the moments that compose the story. This project captures a visual history of the photographer family’s life, yet, there is an ongoing narrative embedded in these photographs that conveys larger, more universal truths about American culture, familiarity, and the endless source of everyday wonder that surrounds us.

Reprenant la démarche artistique unique d'Ernaux consistant à "décrire la réalité comme à travers les yeux d'un photographe et à préserver le mystère et l'opacité des vies que j'ai rencontrées", ce projet de l'écrivaine et commissaire d'exposition Lou Stoppard dévoile les manières profondes dont l'image écrite et visuelle peuvent s'informer et s'infléchir mutuellement. Ce faisant, il propose une nouvelle façon de penser la littérature et la photographie, et la manière dont des thèmes communs - tels que la classe sociale, le voyage, les stéréotypes sociaux et l'identité individuelle dans l'environnement urbain moderne - peuvent être explorés entre ces deux formes d'art.

Résumé:
A profound visual meditation on the trauma that scars twentieth-century Europe, Alan Cohen's "On European Ground" considers the battlefields of World War I, the Nazi death camps, and the Berlin Wall, and records the distance between what we remember about these places and what we can still observe in them today. By walking these sites and photographing the very ground in which their history has dissolved, Cohen opens a space for reflection on their complex gravity and legacy. Cohen's images achieve a solemn beauty even as they engage history at its most topical. Pictures of trenches and bunkers at the battlefields of Somme and Verdun explore the tension between the violence of the past and the inscrutability of its remnants. Photographs from the grounds of Dachau and Auschwitz solicit a provocative dialogue between the ordinariness of these sites today and their haunting memory. They teach us, as the New Art Examiner notes, "that the living perceptual connection to the Holocaust is vanishing." Images of the Berlin Wall show only the footprint of the barricade that once separated two hostile ideologies. They record the physical erosion and looming disappearance of the Wall while capturing its reappearance as a memorialized abstraction. Accompanying the photographs in On European Ground are essays by Sander Gilman and Jonathan Bordo, as well as an interview with Cohen by critic Roberta Smith of the New York Times. The essays present both an introduction to and aesthetic analysis of Cohen's work, while the interview discusses the intractable problems of history and memory that his photographs so uniquely capture.

Résumé:
Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) achieved overnight fame in the late 1920s with the first publication of his photographs of plants. Those photographs, which revealed the inner structures of the organic forms, immediately made him a pioneer of New Objectivity, an innovative movement in art and photography of the 1920s and 1930s. Blossfeldt, however, was neither a trained photographer nor a botanist. He was a sculptor and art professor who did his photographic work to generate teaching material for his students. The publication of this book is the result of an extraordinary event, the 1997 discovery in Blossfeldt’s estate of sixty-one previously unknown collages, in virtually mint condition, of photographic contact prints arranged on large cardboard sheets. Blossfeldt apparently used these to study the relation and similarity of the photographs and to compare them graphically and aesthetically. On some Blossfeldt had made marks or handwritten notations. Others show lines for cropping. The collages, published here for the first time, unveil a hidden treasure of modern photography and cast fresh light on the systematic approach Blossfeldt used in his photographic studies. All collages are reproduced in four colours. Introducing the book is an essay by Swiss art historian Ulrike Meyer-Stump, a contributing curator to the exhibitions at the Kunsthaus in Zurich.
