Résumé:
For Jungjin Lee, photographing the landscape is an exploration of her own mind – the introspective states of the artist, whose photographic gaze is insistent and transformative. Her latest project Unnamed Road approaches the contested territories of Israel and the West Bank by turning to the landscape. Her black-and-white images are self-contained worlds of stillness and wonder, as Lee searches for something constant in the life of the landscape. Her images suggest that despite the semblance of fluctuation, some fundamental truths do not alter: just as the surface of the ocean is constantly in flux, its depths in fact remain unchanged and enduring.

Résumé:
Avec ces images de bêtes surprises mais non traquées, c'est une nuit pénétrée, une nuit transfigurée qui s'ouvre devant nous, dans toute la gloire du noir et blanc. A cette vie de nuit nous n'avons normalement pas accès, et encore beaucoup moins aujourd'hui qu'à l'époque de Shiras, où de nombreux territoires étaient encore presque vierges. Ce qui est documenté de la(...)

Avec ces images de bêtes surprises mais non traquées, c'est une nuit pénétrée, une nuit transfigurée qui s'ouvre devant nous, dans toute la gloire du noir et blanc. A cette vie de nuit nous n'avons normalement pas accès, et encore beaucoup moins aujourd'hui qu'à l'époque de Shiras, où de nombreux territoires étaient encore presque vierges. Ce qui est documenté de la sorte, ce sont certes des comportements et des formes de la vie animale, mais c'est aussi une autre manière d'habiter le monde.

Résumé:
For this series, Nobuyoshi Araki photographed the same street corner from his second-storey window during daylight hours and through every season of the year. In so doing, he diligently transfers the slow-paced life of a quiet Japanese neighbourhood into image form. The narrative that unfolds is one of schoolchildren walking home alone or in groups, men and women with(...)

Résumé:
For this series, Nobuyoshi Araki photographed the same street corner from his second-storey window during daylight hours and through every season of the year. In so doing, he diligently transfers the slow-paced life of a quiet Japanese neighbourhood into image form. The narrative that unfolds is one of schoolchildren walking home alone or in groups, men and women with office jobs hurrying to work, utility and delivery trucks, mothers with strollers, loitering grandmothers, joggers, bicycles, dogs, umbrellas, and much more. Sometimes the sun shines, or the pavement is wet, while at other times the street is filled with snow. In short, it is a hypnotic portrait of the everyday.

His portrait of the citys back streets and dilapidated spaces is rough, full of refuse and graffiti, and almost completely devoid of human presence.

Résumé:
Photographer Gerry Badger only brought out his camera on overcast days in Berlin between 2007 and 2011. His portrait of the citys back streets and dilapidated spaces is rough, full of refuse and graffiti, and almost completely devoid of human presence. This series of images depicts the forgotten corners of a living city, full of history; a fact that has seemingly been banished outside the fringes of the frame. What is left is emptiness, broken architecture, neglected parks, vacant lots, discarded things all fading under a metallic, unfeeling sky.

Résumé:
Temporal displacement plays a key role in this attractive series of 40 colour photographs by Marco Citron. Through the use of a specific colour palette, reminiscent of postcards from the 1960s, he creates a nostalgic aura around his subject matter, the architectural landscapes of the Soviet Bloc. Housing blocks, wide plazas, highways on which only Trabants drive, and monumental governmental edifices comprise these sparsely populated landscapes. They challenge the viewer with their retro ambiguity. Mixing reality and fiction, “it is difficult to know whether Citron is recording some of the planning conceits of the Soviet era, or inventing them,” according to the text by Gerry Badger.

Résumé:
Architects’ mock-ups typically represent an abstracted, idealistic vision, and their models are generally understood as filtered interpretations of the environment, which tend toward the utopian. For this publication, conceptual artist and photographer Thomas Demand visited the untidy office of SANAA in Tokyo several times, exploring the aggregated environment he found there, where paper and discarded cardboard – the thought process of every project – survives in a sedimentary layering of materials. The resulting series of photographs shows an abstracted landscape of architectonic forms, devoid of human scale or reference, yet resonating with the language of creativity.

Résumé:
For this photobook, Erik van der Weijde travelled to Pomerode, a municipality in the state of Santa Catarina, in southern Brazil. The settlement was founded by Pomeranian Germans in 1861, and is known as the most German city in Brazil, as the majority of its inhabitants are of German descent. In Pomerode, as in some other localities in southern Brazil, the German language is not considered a foreign language, but a Brazilian linguistic regionalism. Van der Weijde is therefore able to blend together several of his recurring themes, such as German history, architecture, and contemporary Brazil, in this series of images.

Résumé:
The first series ever realised by Italian photographer Olivo Barbieri, Flippers derives from his discovery of an abandoned, derelict pinball machine factory, and marks the starting point of his observations on visualising the superficial, which would lead to his artistic engagement with the uncertainty of the world’s surface. The fragmented pinball machines act as a cultural reminder, a throwback to the flashing momentum of the 1960s and ’70s, with rock music, science fiction, movie stars, and flower power. Published in its entirety for the first time, the pinball project was a formative experience for the photographer in his early years. Includes an interview with Barbieri and Francesco Zanot.

Résumé:
"Les moisissures sont les ennemies numéro 1 de l'univers de l'archive.'Facteurs de risques", elles sont des "agents de dégradations" contre lesquelles la lutte est de mise. Dans ce contexte, leur potentiel créatif est injustement négligé. Il est pourtant exploité depuis l'aube des temps par l'homme qui utilise le pouvoir transformant des micro-organismes pour faire son pain quotidien, son vin, sa bière et tous ses fromages. Dans un texte de 1856 voué à encourager les rechercher sur la stabilité des procédés photographiques, le chimiste Victor Regnault, premier président de la Société française de photographie, insistait sur le fait que seul le temps pourrait juger de la permanence de tel ou tel procédé photographique. De la même façon, c'est avec le temps que se déploie et prend forme l'ouvrage des moisissures. Merveilles de l'oubli, succès de la négligence et du désintérêt, ces images, abîmées par une inondation ancienne, ont été privées de la lumière du jour pendant des années. La solitude de leur confinement, ajouté au ressources organiques inhérentes à leur procédé (gélatine, fécule de pomme de terre), a fournit un terreau idéal à une prolifération créative aléatoire. Aujourd'hui offertes à la contemplation, ces images bouleversées nous rappellent combien les qualités esthétiques d'une photographie sont décidément indépendante d'une volonté artistique." -- Luce Lebart
