Résumé:
This book is the first to explore photographic representations of Detroit during the hours from dusk until dawn, featuring work by artists including Robert Frank, Leni Sinclair, Steve Shaw, Russ Marshall, and Dave Jordano, among others. The city’s streets, architecture, vast industrial complexes, night clubs, and unique subcultures are captured here in otherworldly visions of the nighttime urban landscape from the 1950s to the present day. These images offer a unique interpretation of Detroit, its industry, culture, and turbulent history through the second half of the 20th century and into the 21st. This book also provides context for the work by addressing historically significant artists who have contributed to the genre, including Ilse Bing, Brassaï, André Kertész, Berenice Abbott, and others.

Résumé:
Ce livre rassemble 175 photographies d'intérieurs berlinois réalisées entre 1903 et 1920, pour le compte d'une enquête " hygiéniste " sur l'habitat menée par une caisse locale d'assurance maladie des métiers du commerce. L'objectif de cette campagne photographique d'ampleur était d'inciter à l'amélioration de l'habitat berlinois et à l'éradication de l'insalubrité. Cette collection est exceptionnelle dans l'histoire de la photographie, à plus d'un titre : par son thème : approche photographique des espaces domestiques en présence de leurs occupants ; par son époque : juste avant et pendant la Grande Guerre ; par sa durée : sur deux décennies ; par son unité de lieu, au coeur de Berlin ; par sa prouesse technique : photographier des intérieurs sombres constitue une difficulté majeure. Le document dans son ensemble renseigne également tout un pan de l'économie liée au travail à domicile. L'articulation logement/atelier est très explicite : on perçoit l'espace du travail et les dispositifs techniques qui s'y rattachent. Par leur qualité, leur vérité, leur rigueur documentaire (notamment par la précision des légendes), elles sont saisissantes et peuvent susciter un certain effroi au vu des conditions d'habiter une métropole ouvrière au tournant du XXe siècle. Elles nous font pénétrer au sein des foyers et de l'espace privé des classes populaires, dans l'univers des mal logés et même des sans-abri qu'on y accueille.

Résumé:
For ten years Camille Seaman has documented the rapidly changing landscapes of Earth's polar regions. As an expedition photographer aboard small ships in the Arctic and Antarctic, she has chronicled the accelerating effects of global warming on the jagged face of nearly fifty thousand icebergs. Seaman's unique perspective of the landscape is entwined with her Native American upbringing: she sees no two icebergs as alike; each responds to its environment uniquely, almost as if they were living beings. Through Seaman's lens, each towering chunk of ice—breathtakingly beautiful in layers of smoky gray and turquoise blue—takes on a distinct personality, giving her work the feel of majestic portraiture. Melting Away collects seventy-five of Seaman's most captivating photographs, lifeaffirming images that reveal not only what we have already lost, but more importantly what we still have that is worth fighting to save.

Résumé:
La photographie, images d’expression et d’émancipation des femmes à travers la prise de possession de leur corps par l’image. Les femmes et la photographie : deux univers contrariés et maintenus en marge de l’empirée artistique du XIXe siècle. Cet ouvrage raconte comment ces deux univers ont fait alliance, dans une symbiose incroyablement fertile. Les femmes ont alors fait preuve d’une capacité à affronter instinctivement, dans des conditions historiques données, certains refoulements culturels et sociaux caractéristiques du monde occidentalisé. A commencer par ceux du corps et du geste. Ainsi, à la même période où débutait le lent processus d’acceptation du corporel dans la sphère culturelle occidentale, de façon curieusement analogue, les femmes artistes s’en faisaient courageusement les interprètes – bien qu’au prix de nombreuses difficultés – car elles-mêmes avaient subi depuis des siècles le même phénomène de « relégation » des activités intellectuelles et artistiques. Cette poétique commune de récupération de la corporéité et de l’action, que certaines artistes parvinrent à interpréter de façon originale, anticipait le climat de recherche de la performance et de l’identité des années 1970, Douze artistes différentes, étudiées dans cet ouvrage, témoignent de cet engagement et de cette réalisation par la photographie : Alice Austen, Gertrude Arndt, Virginia Oldoini (Comtesse de Castiglione), Hannah Cullwick, Anne Brigman, Claude Cahun, Julia Margaret Cameron, Clementina Hawarden, Hannah Höch, Tina Modotti, Leni Riefenstahl et Madame Yevonde. Certaines ont été des artistes d’une façon assez ab-norme, et l’étiquette leur est appliquée de façon très élastique. D’autres, en revanche, ont pratiqué simultanément d’autres moyens d’expression. Mais, pour toutes, la photographie a été une occasion d’exhibitionnisme narcissique, de voyeurisme fétichiste, de travestissement identitaire, de recherche et de témoignage de leur propre identité sexuelle, de fragmentation et de reconstruction imaginaire du réel, de praxis et d’exaltation de la politique et de l’idéologie. En d’autres termes, la photographie a été vécue par elles comme possibilité de récits du corps et de l’action. Les raisons de cette relation dangereuse (femmes-photographie-corps-action) sont celles d’une véritable affinité élective, au point que la photographie, pour de nombreuses femmes, en Amérique singulièrement, a représenté dès la fin du XIXe siècle le territoire de leur émancipation sociale et économique.

Résumé:
Almost immediately after the invention of photography, Scottish photographers took their clunky cameras on the road to capture the stories of peoples and communities touched by the forces of British imperialism. For the next thirty years, their journeys would take them far from their homes in the Lowlands to the Canadian wilderness and the treaty ports and rivers of China. ''The Global Flows of Early Scottish Photography'' is about the interplay between these photographers' ambitions and the needs and desires of the people they met. Anthony Lee tracks the work of several famous innovators of the art form, including D.O. Hill and Robert Adamson in Edinburgh; the Scottish immigrants William Notman and Alexander Henderson in Montreal; John Thomson in Hong Kong; and Lai Afong. Lee reveals their pictures in the context of migration and the social impact wrought by worldwide trade and competing nationalisms.

Résumé:
This publication brings together a range of private homes built since the 1950s in Salento, in the area to the south of Lecce: single and double-family dwellings which, in terms of quality and variety, represent a unique example of spontaneity and aesthetic anarchy on the Italian architectural panorama. The study is carried out with the contribution of three photographers and two historians of architecture, and examines a highly peculiar phenomenon from an unusual perspective. In Southern Salento, in the area lying between Capo di Santa Maria di Leuca, Porto Cesareo on the Ionian Sea and San Foca on the Adriatic coast, house construction is founded on a solid craft tradition which, in open contrast with any institutional architectural school, has led to the rise of eccentric, free and fluid approaches to architecture. Investigating private living and its relation to public space, the volume opens a broader reflection on taste, celebrating its variety and imaginative scope.

Résumé:
The American West with its breathtaking landscapes developed within just 200 years into a modern region with cities, parks, mobility, infrastructure and communication. This fundamental change, which took place in four phases – steam, steel, oil and information – was recorded in the middle of the twentieth century on linen postcards which were popular for their brilliant colours and attractive surface structure. Today the cards have become an independent and popular art form combining photography and painting with mass printing. The volume NEW WEST presents 500 of these valuable postcards from the Wagener-Erganian Collection, accompanied by knowledgeable texts about the development of the country and the subjects illustrated.
