Résumé:
‘From nothing; from nothing to construction.’ Thus Marcel Gautherot, the ideal architectural photographer, recalled his epic undertaking in the late 1950s – photographing every step of the construction of the city of Brasilia, from untouched grassland to modern capital. Gautherot had studied architecture and design, and was influenced by Le Corbusier and other modernist architects as well as the political radicalism of the interwar period. Postwar, however, he devoted his life to travel and photography, taking with him the formal rigour of modernism but also a sympathy for ordinary people that was to help him in his work. After moving to Brazil in 1940, he forged many friendships and partnerships, most notably with Oscar Niemeyer, the chief architect of Brasilia. Indeed, Gautherot recorded most of Niemeyer’s work as his photographer of choice. It was, however, in Brasilia – the high point of the careers of both Niemeyer and chief urban planner Lucio Costa – that the photographer’s art of light and shadow reached its zenith. Gautherot repeatedly visited Brasilia, photographing not only every stage of construction, but also the faces and homes of the workers who worked on the construction sites and satellite cities in the making. The result is a monumental photo essay on this triumph of urban planning and architecture. Here, for the first time, the photographs are collected to form a portfolio of Gautherot’s work in Brasilia, and it pays due tribute to this great Franco-Brazilian artist in the centenary of his birth and on the fiftieth anniversary of Brasilia’s inauguration.

Résumé:
Depuis le début de mon travail, je construis, avec des images, des mondes. Ces mondes existent mais on ne les voit pas, on ne les connaît pas, ils n'arrivent pas à agir. Ainsi, en traversant des territoires, je figure des corps, des architectures ou des hommes, et j'habite des lieux où je peux représenter ces mondes. Ces éléments photographiés sont là pour toucher un niveau universel, dans lequel chacun puisse se projeter. Les localisations ne sont jamais explicitement indiquées dans mon travail, depuis aujourd'hui vingt ans. Ici, si certaines des images sont réalisées dans un lieu " d'actualité ", elles ne le sont pas uniquement en " territoire palestinien " car elles ouvrent sur une problématique plus large. Je ne veux pas qu'elles perdent leur connexion avec " notre actualité ". J'aimerais que les gens soient baignés de ces images sans les avoir vraiment analysées ou localisées, après avoir vu ces photographies. C'est ce " bain " que je travaille : je cherche, au moyen des images, à baigner le corps de l'autre. Ce montage d'images, choisies pour leur vibration, peut imprégner le spectateur d'un univers particulier et agir sur lui. Mon intention est aussi de dessiner un pays qui déborde d'existence malgré les clichés médiatiques, et de faire entrevoir une utopie qui deviendra réalité.

Sous son regard, la ville aimée se balafre et se meurt. Les combats cessent enfin, les ravages sont immenses. Beyrouth telle qu'il l'a connue a disparu.

Résumé:
Through such memorable images as a wooden shanty dominated by massive real estate billboards overhead, Swiss photographer Leo Fabrizio articulates the dilemma of contemporary Thailand as "native old" meets "global new." Using suburban Bangkok as his case study, Fabrizio observes the social and spatial consequences of rapidly transforming cities post-globalization.

Résumé:
During the late 1920s and 1930s, as photography was establishing a firmer monopoly on the visual documentation of the built landscape, architectural photographer Samuel H. Gottscho created a now-classic portrait of New York City as the quintessential modern metropolis. Silhouetting Manhattan's new skyscrapers, celebrated buildings--such as the American Radiator Building and Rockefeller Center--and signature skyline with a vision uniquely his own, Gottscho carefully embraced the tenuous line between the documentary and the artistic in photography and shaped a New York City through his lens that was distinctly Gottscho, yet unquestionably New York City.

Résumé:
Over the course of three years, from 2006 to 2009, James Welling (born 1951) photographed the Glass House, the architectural landmark estate that Philip Johnson built in New Canaan, Connecticut, in 1949. Welling's photos offer a decided departure from the familiar views of the house and grounds: using digital cameras set on a tripod and holding a variety of filters in front of the lens, he created tinted veils and distortions that transformed the image at the moment of exposure, endowing it with swells of glowing color. As Welling described it in an interview with Artforum, the use of filters enabled his project to become "a laboratory for ideas about transparency, reflectivity and color." The 45 images presented here, which invite the viewer to draw associations between the camera's lens and the glass surfaces of the house itself, oscillate before our very eyes between photographic abstraction - a recurrent preoccupation for Welling - and depictions of architecture. With this body of work, Welling has located a wholly new approach to, and blend of, both genres.
