Résumé:
The only thing better than one boring building is hundreds of them. Far from the glamourous and avant-garde architectural features that make Los Angeles justifiably famous are the humble apartment buildings known as "dingbats." But "Pretty Vacant" dares to elevate the low-rise, the boxy, the not remarkably well-constructed to the architecturally sublime. In this brick of(...)

Résumé:
The only thing better than one boring building is hundreds of them. Far from the glamourous and avant-garde architectural features that make Los Angeles justifiably famous are the humble apartment buildings known as "dingbats." But "Pretty Vacant" dares to elevate the low-rise, the boxy, the not remarkably well-constructed to the architecturally sublime. In this brick of a book, through scads of photographs of these underappreciated gems, their boundless surfacey charms are soon obvious. Combining funky textures, streamlined sconces, and future-retro ornamentation, these buildings practically define LA vernacular in their optimistic mix of mid-century modishness and darling details. Clive Piercy's photographs provide a streetside glimpse into the curious lives of these buildings, with charming names that range from the regal (Kings Studios) to the space-age (The Galaxie). Assembled in a compact but weighty package with more than 480 images, "Pretty Vacant" provides a snapshot tour and kitschy homage to this underdog architectural form.

Tendre, nostalgique, pudique, il a révélé des voies nouvelles pour la photographie, à la lisière poétique du réalisme, sans insistance ni emphase. «Je ne documente jamais, je donne une interprétation», dit-il.

Résumé:
Walter Pfeiffer, whose work in the 1970s and 1980s prefigured many of the decisive developments in contemporary art today, is a classic artist's artist. Famous and beloved among art aficionados, Pfeiffer almost has been forgotten by the public at large. Now it's time to discover him, as his images seem more timely than ever. "Welcome Aboard! Photographs 1980 -- 2000" is both a monograph on Pfeiffer's photographic work and an artist's book, a photo-novel all of its own. Pfeiffer takes you on a long trip from suburban bliss to the horse race at Ascot, from wind-swept beaches to majestic mountaintops. Pfeiffer knows our dreams and artfully plays with them. In his still-lifes, landscapes, and portraits of beautiful boys and mischievous women, Pfeiffer celebrates his quest for beauty and glamour with sophistication, irony, and wit. Pfeiffer leads you into a world between reality and reverie, snapshot and mise-en-scène. The book is a photo album from Arcadia. With simple means Pfeiffer creates intelligent and classic images of beauty and bliss, imbued with a wistful awareness of their artifice. Stylish, suggestive, and erotic, his images are an encyclopedia of desire.

Résumé:
The street is the workplace of the artist Paulien Oltheten (b. Nijmegen, 1982). Seemingly in passing, she seeks out precisely those moments when there is contact between people, things and the public space with her still and moving viewfinders. She also has a remarkable eye for the small and the subtle: her photos are often profoundly touching. Street Theory brings together about a hundred photos, video stills and drawings by Oltheten, each of which testifies to how we use, move through, sit, lounge and behave in the public domain, and above all how we relate to other people and objects. Oltheten often annotates these striking images and intriguing situations with handwritten notes that become an integral part of the whole, adding a new, narrative layer of meaning.

How does twenty-first-century Germany deal with the remaining Fascist architecture of the 1930s and 1940s? Between 2001 and 2006, the German photographer Ralf Meyer created a collection of 130 photographs, taken at 32 locations across the country. The photographs were not intended to be mere reproductions of facades; instead, they were meant to investigate how German citizens deal with the results of the overwhelming historical architecture that surrounds them. Each one of the buildings Meyer sought out was constructed for an ideological purpose: can these implicit messages still be detected in the architecture? What is life like in and around these buildings, now that so much has changed?

Résumé:
In post-colonial Africa, «White Elephant» was the name given to buildings erected with international money and never put to use; relic of an enormous waste. Europe has its own fair share of such mammoths: a pratically unused railway station designed by Santiago Calatrava near Lyon, the frame of an Aldo Rossi shopping mall in Berlin, a lonely feeder road in the middle of nowhere, now slowly being reclaimed by nature... On his search for new developments in ruins, the Swiss photographer Christian Helmle discovered a vast amount of monumental solitary buildings and complexes throughout Europe's cities and countrysides. Relieved of their original functions, the barren structures have lost any connection to their environments, appearing alien and surreal. Throught Christian Helmle's shots they develop their own individual, touchingly melancholic aesthetic.

Résumé:
Malick Sidibé has gained an international reputation for his documentation of an important aspect of the history of Mali. His photographs uniquely convey the atmosphere and vitality of the capital, Bamako, in a period of tremendous euphoric cultural change. Soon after Sidibé set up his own studio in 1962 he was highly sought after to photograph all the happening events and ceremonies in Mali, including football matches, weddings, Christmas Eve celebrations and the surprise parties thrown by groups of youths belonging to clubs. The clubs were named after their idols and the styles of western music (Los Cubanos, Les Caïds, Las Vegas, etc.) which had just started being sold in Bamako. Malian independence brought not only a whiff of liberty and insouciance, communist friendship with brother countries,but also dreams of western society. Sidibé sometimes photographed five reports in one night before returning to the lab to develop the negatives. He would then display on the studio walls carefully numbered index prints which were glued on administrative folders. These are the «chemises» reproduced in this book. In the following days, the party people came to look at the folders and select the photos that they wanted to buy. The folders reproduced in this book constitute a significant catalogue of Sidibé's work. Progressively, in the mid-seventies, youths met less frequently at clubs and went more often to night clubs which were not Malick's haunts. He therefore shifted his activity to studio portraits and camera repairs.
