Résumé:
Depuis plus de vingt ans Raymond Depardon a parcouru tout le continent africain auquel il a consacré plusieurs films. Il a réalisé ainsi une grande quantité de photographies dont 350 inédites sont présentées dans cet ouvrage. Ces photographies couvrent toute l’Afrique, à travers une présentation non pas par pays mais par associations originales. Ces associations privilégient un rythme soutenu, sans temps d’arrêt, des enchaînements qui montrent la vie au travers de sujets très variés : portraits, villes, paysages, religions, activités sociales et métiers mais aussi des conflits et la misère. A travers ses photographies, exemptes de toute volonté d’esthétiser son propos, Raymond Depardon ne livre aucun jugement sur l’Afrique, aucune thèse. Ce qui relie entre elles ces prises de vue, c’est l’impulsion de l’œil, simplement un regard de photographe et de grand voyageur sur les paysages et les hommes qui peuplent ce continent. Pourquoi des Afriques ? Depuis 1960, année de ma première rencontre avec le continent africain à l’âge de dix-huit ans, et jusqu’à mon dernier voyage cet hiver au Horar, je n’ai cessé de photographier l’Afrique. Mais que de lieux, de temps différents ! Une vie toute entière ne suffirait pas à prétendre connaître cette Afrique. Aujourd’hui, les prétextes, les raisons de ces voyages sont oubliés. C’est pour cela que j’avais envie de faire ce livre, pour rendre la liberté à toutes ces photographies et enfin réunir toutes ces Afriques, celles des pistes, des sourires, des famines et des guerres civiles. Je voulais oser ces quatre cents pages de photographies sous respiration. Je voulais étouffer devant l’immense Afrique, me trouver comme au bord d’une route où nous serions en panne pour plusieurs jours, envahis, à rester silencieux et à écouter. Je me souviens de chaque lieu, de chaque temps. J’ose le désordre, il le faut. Je réunis ces photographies prises pendant quarante-cinq ans de voyages en Afrique. Raymond Depardon

Résumé:
Photography is something concrete, a perception, what you see with your eyes, And it happens so fast that you may not see anything at all! TO photograph is to paint with light! The flaws are part of it. That's what makes the poetry. And for that you need a bad camera. If you want to be famous, you have to be worse at something than everyone else in the world! Miroslav Tichy

This title fixes the gaze on writers as we seldom see them. These photographs, and the stories that accompany them, were captured where the writers live, work, or play. The result is a series of portraits that take us inside writers’ lives and inside the process of making portraits—all served with a touch of refined literary gossip.

Résumé:
In 1909 the French banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn launched a monumentally ambitious project : to produce a color photographic record of human life on Earth. An internationalist and pacifist, Kahn believed that he could use the new autochrome - the world's first portable, true-color photographic process - to create a global photographic archive that would promote cross-cultural understanding and peace. Over the next twenty years, he sent a group of photographers to more than fifty countries around the world, amassing more than 72,000 images. Until recently his collection was all but forgotten. Now, a century after he began his "Archives of the Planet" project, this book - richly illustrated in color throughout - and the BBC series it follows are bringing Kahn's early twentieth-century pictures to a wide audience for the first time, and putting color into what we usually think of as a monochrome world.

Résumé:
Famed worldwide for his epically-proportioned photographs, Andreas Gursky is one of very few contemporary artists able to represent cultures of excessive information--which he does through images of supermarket wares, crowds, trash, architecture and nature. The extreme detail of Gursky's final image--achieved by digital restructuring--produces a vertiginous effect on the viewer, as it oscillates between total representation and total abstraction. It could be said that Gursky updates the eighteenth-century sublime for our times. This publication surveys the artist's most recent creations, on display at the renowned Kunstmuseum Basel throughout the winter of 2007/2008. Two new groups of works in particular, one on Formula One races and the other on the famous Arirang Festival (a closely-choreographed mass spectacle in North Korea's capital of Pyongyang), are gathered here.

Résumé:
In the 1860s, William Mumler photographed ghosts—or so he claimed. Faint images of the dearly departed lurked in the background with the living, like his well-known photo of the recently assassinated Abraham Lincoln comforting Mary Todd. In this book, Louis Kaplan brings together, for the first time, Mumler’s haunting images, his revealing memoir, and rich primary sources, including newspaper articles and P. T. Barnum’s famous indictment of Mumler in Humbugs of the World. Kaplan also contributes two extended essays, which offer a historical perspective of the Mumler phenomena and delve into the sociocultural and theoretical issues surrounding this vivid ghost story.
