Résumé:
La Tour Eiffel est un livre double qui réunit le texte de Roland Barthes et les photographies d’'André Martin. Symbole de Paris pour le monde entier, ce monument que l’'on voit de partout, nous propose lui-même en retour un regard panoramique pour contempler la ville et en faire la conquête. Édifice longtemps décrié, pleinement et ouvertement inutile, il est d'’abord un objet d’une grande prouesse technique, un signe d'’audace et de modernité qui est devenu au fil du temps une oeuvre artistique, une dentelle de fer, signe de légèreté et, par sa verticalité, de l'’impossible tentative de l'’homme pour atteindre le ciel.

Résumé:
From the time of its invention, photography has enabled artists not only to capture the world around them but also to create worlds of their own. "Utopia/Dystopia" investigates how artists from the late 19th century to the present have used photographic fragments or techniques to represent political, social, or cultural states of utopia or dystopia. Artists have employed a number of strategies to this end, such as cutting, fragmenting, and puncturing images as well as reassembling those culled from ready-made materials or giving a subject multiple exposures. The resulting photographs, photocollages, photomontages, and other creations question the validity of seamless pictorial images, and attempt to dismantle the notion of photography as an objective medium. This publication features approximately forty-five exemplary works by artists such as Herbert Bayer, John Heartfield, Hannah Hoch, Arata Isozaki, El Lissitzky, Carter Mull, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Vik Muniz, Man Ray, Okanoue Toshiko, and many others.

Résumé:
Published on the occasion of its sixtieth anniversary, this is the first anthology of Aperture magazine. It provides a selection of the best critical writing from the first 25 years of the magazine--the period spanning the tenure of cofounder and editor Minor White. Aperture was established in 1952 by a group of photographers, including Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Barbara Morgan and historian-curators Beaumont and Nancy Newhall. Their intention was to provide a forum “in which photographers can talk straight to each other, discuss the problems that face photography as profession an art, share their experiences, comment on what goes on, descry the new potentials.” With its far-ranging interests in diverse photographic styles, myriad themes and subjects (including a strong streak of spirituality in diverse forms) and an adventurous commitment to a broad international range, Aperture has had a profound impact on the course of fine-art photography. Several articles are reproduced in facsimile, and the publication is enlivened throughout by other features, including a portfolio of covers, as well as a selection of the colophons (short statements or quotes) that appeared at the front of each magazine.

People in trouble laughing pushed to the ground. Soldiers leaning, pointing, reaching. Woman sweeping. Balloons escaping. Coffin descending. Boys standing. Grieving. Chair balancing. Children smoking. Embracing. Creatures barking. Cars burning. Helicopters hovering. Faces. Human figures. Shapes. Birds. Structures left standing and falling... The Belfast Exposed Archive occupies a small room on the first floor at 23 Donegal Street and contains over 14,000 black-and-white contact sheets, documenting the Troubles in Northern Ireland. These are photographs taken by professional photo-journalists and 'civilian' photographers, chronicling protests, funerals and acts of terrorism as well as the more ordinary stuff of life: drinking tea; kissing girls; watching trains. Belfast Exposed was founded in 1983 as a response to concern over the careful control of images depicting British military activity during the Troubles. The marks on the surface of the contact strips – across the image itself – allude to the presence of many visitors. These include successive archivists, who have ordered, catalogued and re-catalogued this jumble of images. For many years the archive was also made available to members of the public, and sometimes they would deface their own image with a marker pen, ink or scissors. So, in addition to the marks made by generations of archivists, photo editors, legal aides and activists, the traces of these very personal obliterations are also visible. They are the gestures of those who wished to remain anonymous.

Résumé:
The extensive range of posters, collages, maquettes, postcards, magazines, and books featured in this exhibition catalogue attests to the enormous influence of photomontage in politics, social protest, and advertising, while also demonstrating the popularity of the technique among avant-garde artists during these two decades. Essays in this publication examine contemporary texts that the practice of photomontage inspired, and explore those qualities of photomontage that led to what was arguably the most important exhibition devoted to this artistic technique at the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin in 1931. The present volume includes a facsimile reproduction and translation of the catalogue published on the occasion of that exhibition. In addition to a brief chronology, the interested reader will also find a selection of text - some scarcely familiar today - by authors of various nationalities that sheds further light on the practice. Produced to accompany the exhibition in Spain and available in North America for the first time, this entirely English-language publication offers an overview of the birth of the photomontage process specifically in Germany and the Soviet Union in the 1920s.

Résumé:
La collection de photographies privilégie une approche thématique, transversale, voire poétique, de la photographie moderne et contemporaine, illustrée d'une soixantaine d'oeuvres choisies parmi les 70000 que compte la collection photographique du Centre Pompidou, l'une des plus importantes sur le plan international. La ville écrite. L'histoire de la photographie est traversée par l'histoire de l'écriture et vice versa. Depuis les premiers relevés photographiques des hiéroglyphes égyptiens jusqu'aux graffitis urbains, en passant par les néons publicitaires qui éclairent la nuit des grandes villes, l'écrit hante la photographie. L'image photographique a aussi, à l'inverse, profondément modifié notre regard sur l'écriture. A l'époque moderne, la ville est devenue un immense réservoir de signes, une page sur laquelle s'inscrit notre histoire quotidienne, poétique ou politique. Des surréalistes à Andreas Gursky, de Brassaï à William Klein, c'est à cette lecture urbaine que nous invite ce livre.
