Résumé:
'"Hira Mandi" (literally Diamond Market) is the tangled maze of backstreets and alleys hat is the red light district of Lahore (the second largest city in Pakistan) and is as famous in South Asia as the Amsterdam red light district is throughout the West. "Hira Mandi" is a portrait of the unknown world of Pakistan's transsexual and homosexual subculture. Hijars, best defined as 'neither men nor women', are important in Lahore. They are men born as transgender, hermaphrodite or of female gender, trapped inside male bodies. These boys perform in dancing groups at weddings, in the streets or in private houses. Hira Mandi provides refuge to homosexual men and allows young boys and adult men to develop friendships and sexual relations with other males, whereas adolescnt boys and girls literally risk their lives if they were to develop these informal relations elsewhere."

Résumé:
Cycling races lasting several days are not peculiar to countries like France and Italy. They are also held in many non-Western countries, all over the world. The big difference is the setting : a landscape devastated by war, baking deserts, the vibrant streets of Cuba.

Résumé:
This book publishes for the first time a 1954 exhibit of photographs of Louis Sullivan buildings directed by Aaron Siskind at the Institute of Design. In 1952 Siskind and his advanced photography students undertook a comprehensive photographic survey of Sullivan's architecture and by early 1954 had photographed more than 60 Sullivan buildings. From hundreds of photographs Siskind composed an exhibit of 126 photographs of 35 Sullivan buildings, note-worthy for its startling juxtaposition of ornament details and carefully composed building portraits. Siskind's exhibit was a documentation of Sullivan's architecture unlike any other - and one that could never be repeated, because so many of Sullivan's buildings were demolished shortly thereafter.

Résumé:
Photographer Rafael Goldchain's Polish-Jewish ancestors emigrated to South America in the 1930s, and many others perished in Poland during the Nazi regime. Also lost in the turmoil of war and emigration were most of the portraits of his extended family. When Goldchain became a parent himself, he decided to make up for this lack of evidence and recreate the lost generations of the past, in the present. Rafael Goldchain's "I am my family" is a family album of traditional portrait photographs with an unconventional twist: the only subject is Goldchain himself. In an elaborate process involving genealogical research, the use of makeup, hair styling, costume, and props, Goldchain transforms himself into his ancestors and captures their personifications with the camera. Taking some liberties with historical accuracy, Goldchain has assembled a fascinating cast of characters : from his short-story-writing grandfather, to his great-aunts Pola and Fela, to the Rabbi Gur's nephew in wedding dress, Goldchain reinvents himself over and over again. These beautifully reproduced self-portraits trace the evolution of Jewish culture from tradition to modernity and invite us to engage the history of a family decimated and scattered by the traumatic events of the 20th century. Featuring an essay by curator Martha Langford, the portraits are complemented by a selection of the archival images on which they are based as well as selections from the artist's handwritten sketchbooks.

Résumé:
Over the past thirty years, Victor Burgin has become both an influential artist and a renowned theorist of the still and moving image. His writings are noted for their lucidity, while his photographs and videos are paradoxical and question meaning in contemporary society. In this book, Victor Burgin retraces the history of his artistic and critical pursuits, from his conceptual photographic works of the sixties to his recent video work. He reviews the evolution of his visual work with a particular focus on its relationship to the institution and practices of painting, photography and cinema. This book is different from Burgin’s previous publications, which are either monographs of his visual work—with essays by other writers—or collections of his essays. This is the first book in which Burgin turns his attention to his own artistic production.

Résumé:
Writing about The Museum of Modern Art's monumental and critically acclaimed 2005 Lee Friedlander retrospective, Richard Lacayo of Time magazine said: "If a sophisticated notion of what a picture can look like, the continuous construction of new avenues of feeling, and sheer, sustained inventiveness are the measures we go by, then Friedlander is one of the most important American artists of any kind since World War II Friedlander loves the muchness of the world. He loves the haphazard multitude of things that can pop up in every picture--street signs, sunbeams, bits of roofline, a jagged shadow--all colliding and contradicting one another. In his breezy but very acute introduction to the show's catalogue, Peter Galassi, MoMA's chief curator of photography, gets it just right when he says some of Friedlander's pictures give you the impression that 'the physical world had been broken into fragments and reconstituted under pressure at three times its original density.'" Now available for the first time, the paperback edition of this definitive, comprehensive volume is being published to coincide with the traveling retrospective's stop in San Francisco at SFMOMA.

Résumé:
L'enjeu de ce travail, après les tragédies de l'Europe du XXe siècle, sera d'envisager l'Amérique comme terre d'accueil, réceptacle des drames de la vieille Europe, transposition optimiste de la misère, de la brutalité des guerres et révolutions. L'exil impose à l'homme américain une mutation radicale qui lui permet au prix d'un reniement de sa propre mémoire, d'intégrer une nouvelle conception du monde fondée sur l'éphémère, l'abandon et le mouvement perpétuel, proche du nomadisme. Stucturé par son destin d'exilé, ce peuple puise sa force et son inventivité dans la rupture. La nostalgie devient mortifère et l'avenir trop distant pour en rêver. Il reste alors le privilège de créer l'instant et de s'adapter. Compte tenu de la radicalité de cet engagement dans le destin d'un homme, il me semble qu'à l'échelle d'un peuple, les conséquences seront certainement surprenantes. Ce travail photographique né d'un fort parti pris ignore les grands mouvements de cette 'jeune civilisation' où information, spiritualité, environnement, culture, diplomatie, riment avec consommation et profit. Pour la cohérence du projet, l'investigation se limite à New York, porte de l'Amérique, et à l'État du Montana, achèvement de la lente migration vers l'inconnu. Stéphane Leroy
