Résumé:
A reproduction of a 1938 photobook Roland Penrose made for Lee Miller as they traveled the world at the outset of World War II. In 1938, as Europe prepared for war, Roland Penrose and Lee Miller made a journey together through the Balkans. Penrose was a painter, author, and curator. Miller, previously a model, was a brilliant photographer. As they traveled, Penrose created pictures and took notes, and on their return produced a charming handmade photobook for Miller—a surrealist love poem, drawn from his own memories and records. This special facsimile edition of the book Penrose wrote for Miller has an important place in the history of surrealist literature, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of two artists and their journey of discovery in a world that would soon be transformed forever.

Résumé:
Though he is best known for his portraiture and observational depictions, German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans (born 1968) has simultaneously created abstract photography over the past 30 years. Dubbed his Silver works, these photographs expand the boundaries of photographic processes, taking what others might call accidents in the photo development process--like stains from trace chemicals and the titular silver nitrate--and using them in a deliberate compositional manner. The result is a series of images that Tillmans describes as "stained, impure, bright, [and] unstable." In this artist's book, Tillmans' ''Silver'' works are brought together for the first time. In addition to high-quality reproductions of the works themselves, ''Saturated Light'' includes photographic documentation of the pieces in exhibition settings and as elements of installations. An essay by art theorist Tom Holert discusses the philosophical, aesthetic and material questions that Tillmans' ''Silver'' series pose.

Résumé:
« Disover » est le récit d’un voyage au futur antérieur. Ce livre nous dévoile les contrastes d’une Chine contemporaine, en construction incessante, faisant surgir des villes de terre comme par magie. Malgré la violence de ce rythme effréné, il se dégage du travail photographique de François Daireaux et des textes du sinologue Emmanuel Lingot, une rare intensité poétique. Pour faire image, François Daireaux a arpenté plus d’une centaine de villes chinoises très peu visitées par les étrangers. Celles où l’arrogance des plus forts, l’exploitation des plus faibles et le mépris de la vie humaine ont pris les formes les plus impitoyables. Prémonitoire, ce livre nous montre une Chine dévastée. S’y esquissent bien d’autres catastrophes en devenir. L’homme y a pourtant sa place. Cette dérive photographique a commencé à Anshan en 2004 dans le nord-est de la Chine, puis s’est poursuivie de ville en ville, toujours plus à l’ouest pour s’achever en 2018 dans la région ouïghoure.

Gorbatchev y perd le peu de crédit qui lui reste et Boris Eltsine donne le coup de grâce à une Union Soviétique en pleine décomposition. Sur place, la situation est confuse, personne ne sait vraiment qui tire les celles dans l’ombre. Les statues des héros du communisme sont déboulonnées et deviennent des figures de carnaval gisantes dans les parcs de la capitale. Des gamins s’amusent au milieu de ces ex-idoles dans l’indifférence générale [...] » 30 ans après, Jean-Christophe Béchet reconstruit à partir des photographies et des documents de l’époque, son récit de la chute d’un monument de l’histoire, en photographie et en texte.

Résumé:
This volume presents 70 color photographs of America imbued with both clarity and nostalgia. Italian photographer Luca Campigotto takes us from the canyons, deserts and coal-mining ghost towns of the American West to Idaho’s large auto cemeteries, to the Bronx and other industrial fringes of New York City, to a town in Montana whose brick architecture is reminiscent of Edward Hopper’s paintings. The solitude of the wild frontier and the distance of the urban periphery alternate between dazzling daytime lights and mysterious nocturnes. Each photo is accompanied by short poetic notes—a journey of personal memories which echo literary and cinematographic works—serving as an evocation of some American topoi, above all, the timeless myth of “on the road” traveling.

Résumé:
The artist’s book “Detroit“ presents the contemporary urban landscape of this de- industrialized metropolis as an overlay of social and natural history. The catchwords “ruin porn” and “future city” are currently being used in the media to describe what was once celebrated as the “Motor City”. In her photographs and texts, Franziska Klose describes a landscape absolutely consumed by industry, its structure a manifestation of social inequality, despite all the conjurations of an imminent economic boom. The story of the “comeback” is set against land speculation and water shut-offs and contrasts with the emergence of a potential post-growth society based on urban agriculture and individual autonomy.

Résumé:
In ''Communes,'' French photographer Raymond Depardon (born 1942) explores the villages of the Mediterranean inland region, in the South of France. These villages have long been abandoned, threatened by the ''Nant concession,'' a shale gas extraction project that was heavily protested by inhabitants and finally abandoned in 2015. Since then, the villages, with their cobbled streets and old houses with jagged facades and scanty windows, have once again become inhabited by people. The villages represent havens where tranquility and cool prevail. The black-and-white photographs that comprise this work were made after the first lockdown, during the summer of 2020, a backdrop that highlights the isolation of life in these small villages. The regions pictured include the south of the Massif Central in Aveyron, Lozère, Gard and Hérault.

Résumé:
You can almost hear the ominous hum of the broken strip lighting, the knot of fear in the gut. These unloved spaces are notoriously menacing, graffiti-ridden, inconvenient. Yet through the lens of celebrated British portrait photographer Perou and the accompanying essay by Karl Hyde (of dance music duo Underworld), their architecture is also elevated to something magnificent, at times even ethereal. Shot at night, Perou’s images also express the original utopian vision of the New Town planners of the 1960s and ’70s. The idea for Tunnel Vision was sparked between friends Perou and Hyde when Perou shot the album cover for Hyde’s debut solo album, Edgeland, featuring an underpass at night. Perou has now shot over 200 underpasses across England.

Résumé:
Begun in 2014 by Ecuadorian-born, New York–based photographer Alejandro Merizalde (born 1979), ''100 Churches of Venice and the Lagoon'' documents religious temples from every sestiere of Venice and the smaller towns of the Venetian lagoon. What began as a small challenge of photographing just the Grand Canal’s churches quickly grew in scope to include every neighborhood in the city. From Murano to Burano and Torcello, from Pellestrina to Chioggia, and deep into the northern lagoon to areas such as Lio Piccolo and Treporti, Merizalde photographed their respective churches whether they remained in service or were deconsecrated or repurposed. The layout of these images emphasizes the facade, relying on subtle repetitions for aesthetic continuity and balance. An essay by Marina Gasparini Lagrange combines her experience living in Venice with a poignant historical perspective.

Résumé:
For five years the renowned Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin was closed to the public for renovation. Nevertheless, the acclaimed German photographer Michael Wesely (born 1963), best known for his long-exposure technique and publications such as ''Open Shutter'' and ''Time Works,'' was permitted to bring four ''guests'' inside the iconic building. Wesely’s four cameras, each one pointing in a different direction, were installed on the ceiling. Every day they took between 600 and 1,100 pictures with an exposure time of two minutes each. Edited into sequences of bewitching montages, this fascinating compendium allows readers to envision the building’s metamorphosis while undergoing renovations. The long exposure time is an aesthetic coup, for ephemeral, restless, rapid movements contrast with the still, timeless quality of the architecture, presenting a sophisticated interplay of identity and change.
