Résumé:
Perched atop drainpipes, set in glass jars, peeking out from vents and air-conditioning units, or dangling from wires, the flora of Hong Kongs urban landscape is as ubiquitous as it is hardy, yet almost goes unnoticed against the overwhelming backdrop of apartment high-rises, neon lights and cracked walls. Photographed by Michael Wolf, the forlorn cultivars and opportunistic vegetation of the city whether carefully tended, forgotten or simply growing wild appear as a metaphor of natures struggles amidst the concrete jungle.

Résumé:
Examining 20 years’ worth of the work of architect Paola Iacucci, who has spent a career between New York and Italy, this document is a record of the often heterogeneous experience of architecture. Iacucci’s projects, drawings, models, buildings, and writings offer a deep and sharp sensibility and insight into contemporary architecture as they unfold two different perspectives: those of the East and the West. The two parts of this consideration—the Book of the East and the Book of the West—investigate the subtle relation between the concepts of the void and the solid or material in architecture in two very different worlds. An additional, 100-page booklet with architectural drawings is also included.

Blossfeldt’s images, relying on a northern light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the(...)

From 1941 to 1944, the Polish Jewish photographer Henryk Ross (1910–1991) was a member of an official team documenting the implementation of Nazi policies in the Lodz Ghetto in Poland. Covertly, he captured on film scores of both quotidian and intimate moments of Jewish life. In 1944, he buried thousands of negatives in an attempt to save this secret record. After the war, Ross returned to Poland to retrieve them. Although some were destroyed by nature and time, many negatives survived. Memory Unearthed presents a selection of the nearly 3,000 surviving images—along with original prints and other archival material including curfew notices and newspapers—from the permanent collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Created by the Nazca culture more than 2,000 years ago, the lines have perplexed archeologists and inspired scores of visual artists. While most clearly seen from the air in a plane or helicopter, these lines offer an even more awe-inspiring experience when viewed from the ground—Ranney’s chosen vantage for his large-format photographs.

Résumé:
This concise book is the first publication of Sarah Charlesworth’s (1947–2013) photographic series collectively entitled Stills. Charlesworth made a name for herself as a member of the New York–based Pictures Generation artists when, in 1980, she produced this series of 14 large-scale photographs. Like her previous work, the images were appropriated from newspapers, which Charlesworth re-photographed. The images that comprise Stills hauntingly depict people falling or jumping from buildings, the suspended moment further dramatized by the photographs’ scale: Charlesworth’s prints measure over six feet tall. Following an essay by Matthew S. Witkovsky, this publication presents Stills in its entirety for the first time.
