Résumé:
Ces photographies sont le produit d’un arpentage intime, fragmentaire, nourri par l'idée qu'une position spécifiquement artistique est susceptible de produire un type d'information que ne fournissent ni la recherche historique ni l'analyse sociologique. À l'horizon se marquerait la discrète étrangeté d’un milieu, des modes d’habitation d’un environnement singulier.Quel milieu ? Celui de ces villages non loin de Reims, au Nord, le long de la vallée de l’Aisne ou à proximité, presque totalement détruits pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Le front les a traversés. Les obus ont bouleversé les champs, les bois, tout le paysage ; ils ont renversé les murs des maisons désertées par leurs habitants. L’histoire, dans sa longue durée, a été effacée : disparue, ou presque, l’épaisseur tangible du passé, avec son riche appareil d’époques successives, dont les signes plus ou moins visibles façonnent habituellement les campagnes. À leur place, la destruction générale impose la marque d’un unique événement traumatique.”

Résumé:
This is the first comprehensive monograph on Balthasar Burkhard, the Swiss master of the sublime. A visual vocabulary of the world we live in, meditative and haunting, instilling peace and anxiety at the same time. This is a book about the beauty of nature - its force, silence, and eternal existence - and about cities - seen from above as they keep growing, threatening to suffocate us. Swiss photographer Balthasar Burkhard presents work from the last ten years, images from all over the world - from Japan to the USA, from South America to Africa and to the European Alps. The photographs are arranged in chapters that each focus on one aspect of the world - Desert, River, Skies, Cities, Landscapes. Together, they add up to a poetic atlas, a vision of the beauties and horrors of the world today. Intense black-and-white images that can only be created with a photo camera. A masterpiece of landscape and cityscape photography!

Résumé:
Unlike recent publications on Wall's work, this volume treats his oeuvre from a profoundly theoretical angle, inviting scholars to contribute to an understanding of the multi-layered character of his art and to focus on aspects that have up until now received little attention: Wall's reaction to the avant-garde discussion of the 1970s, his position within post-conceptual photography, his occupation with questions of film and film theory, his interest in popular iconography and his highly complex way of working. Published to accompany the noted exhibition at the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig in Vienna, this essay collection also specifically concentrates on Wall's close link to the tradition of documentary photography and to photographers like Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange. The book includes essays by Peter Bürger, Achim Hochdörfer, Tom Holert, Homay King, Kaja Silverman, Fred Orton, Gregor Stemmrich, and Friedrich Tietjen.

Après quelques années passées en France, c’est à New-York qu’il va s’installer pour travailler pour plusieurs magazines. Son regard sur l’architecture, l’ombre et les distorsions le font se distinguer dans de nombreuses expositions à Paris, au Museum of Modern Art de New-York (1964), Tokyo (1965), Stockholm (1967), Invité d’honneur à Arles (1974), Centre Georges Pompidou (1977), University of Salford (1980), Jérusalem, Musée Israël (1980), Norfolk Chrysler Museum (1982), New-York Susan Halder Gallery (1982), Grand international de la photographie (1982), Art Institute of Chicago (1985), Metropolitan Museum of Art of New-York (1985). André Kertész est de ces grands qui ont su travailler sans cesse pour contribuer à donner à la photographie ses lettres de noblesse dans le domaine de l’art et inspirer toute une génération de grands photographes qui témoignent dans cet ouvrage de tout le talent d’André Kertész et de son incontournable influence.

Résumé:
Where will you go when the trouble starts? For countless people around the world, the answer is that bomb shelter down in the basement. In fact, people from around the world have been building shelters to protect themselves from catastrophe—natural disaster, war, nuclear events—for centuries. "Waiting for the End of the World" is photographer Richard Ross's journey into this quirky, somewhat paranoid, and occasionally beautiful underground world. Ross has documented not only the bomb shelters of the United States, but also examples from Vietnam, Russia, England, Turkey, and even Switzerland, where citizens are required by law to have a bomb shelter. Ross's subjects include the Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia, where a shelter was built to house the entire U.S. Congress, shelters in Beijing, where the Chinese built a complete city underground, and Hittite shelters in Eastern Turkey built some 4,000 years ago. His ethereal images show spaces that at once provide only the barest necessities for survival but maintain a level of idiosyncratic personality that testify to the endurance—and wackiness—of the human spirit. "Waiting for the End of the World" features an interview by author and social commentator Sarah Vowell.

Résumé:
Andrew Cross's photographs depict the spaces of the long distance road-trip - the places passed through and passed by - a landscape that is now familiar almost wherever we are. It is the vernacular landscape of a growing consumer culture - fast food outlets, shopping malls, distribution depots, truck stops - that have congregated around highway exits and intersections. This volume further contributes to his already widely published and exhibited body of work, both in Europe and America. With "Along some American highways" Andrew Cross continues his preoccupation with the functions and environments of motorised transportation. Andrew Cross brings together the inherent romanticism of the road journey with the corporate culture that now so dominates not only the environment of the American road-trip but also the wider world. His photographs are a traveller's glance of places that are themselves transient and impermanent, but all pervasive.
