A proponent of the Düsseldorf school of photography and a master pupil of Thomas Ruff’s, the artist Ralf Brueck (b. 1966) thematises in his sophisticated, stringently composed works the architectural interior, the expanse of landscape, and modern architecture. The publication illustrates Brueck’s genesis – which began with the series Timecapsules, created at the end of the 1990s and devoted to modern church buildings – and builds a bridge to his two new series, Distortion and Deconstruction.

Résumé:
Une ville qu’on peine à identifier, marquée par un ciel blanc, à une heure incertaine. Anne Collongues la photographie presque vide, tel un endroit familier que les souvenirs habitent encore mais qui paraît déjà étranger. Elle capte une architecture éclectique et des espaces accidentés dont on ne saurait dire si le béton et la végétation s’y embrassent ou s’y dévorent.(...)

Une ville qu’on peine à identifier, marquée par un ciel blanc, à une heure incertaine. Anne Collongues la photographie presque vide, tel un endroit familier que les souvenirs habitent encore mais qui paraît déjà étranger. Elle capte une architecture éclectique et des espaces accidentés dont on ne saurait dire si le béton et la végétation s’y embrassent ou s’y dévorent. Partagées entre l'objectivité d'un recensement et la subjectivité d'un état d'âme, ses photographies ne démontrent rien, chaque élément du chaos urbain participe à l’équilibre de la composition.

Résumé:
Stephen Shore’s "Uncommon Places" is indisputably a canonic body of work—a touchstone for those interested in photography and the American landscape. Remarkably, despite having been the focus of numerous shows and books, including the eponymous 1982 Aperture classic (expanded and reissued several times), this series of photographs has yet to be explored in its entirety. Over the past five years, Shore has scanned hundreds of negatives shot between 1973 and 1981. In this volume, Aperture has invited an international group of fifteen photographers, curators, authors, and cultural figures to select ten images apiece from this rarely seen cache of images. Each portfolio offers an idiosyncratic and revealing commentary on why this body of work continues to astound; how it has impacted the work of new generations of photography and the medium at large; and proposes new insight on Shore’s unique vision of America as transmuted in this totemic series.

Awoiska van der Molen has been producing monochrome landscape photography since 2009. ‘Blanco’ is the result of extended periods of isolation, during which the Dutch photographer penetrates deep into the essence of the remote world where she creates her images. Removed from today’s fast-paced society, she patiently experiences the landscape in a new way, moving beyond initial appearances to gradually uncover the identity of the place, allowing it to impress upon her its specific emotional and physical qualities. Through enigmatic contrasts between darkness and light in her large-format silver gelatin prints, notions of time and self blur, becoming non-existent.

Résumé:
Richly illustrated with etchings, manuscripts, and old documents, this book retraces the epic tale of the automaton from ancient times up to the present day. Wondrous objects that are at once scientific and magical, automata testify to the technical research and inventiveness of their designers. In 1675, the astronomer and mathematician Christian Huygens invented the spiral spring that would play a leading role in the development of smaller and more precise watches, with highly complex mechanisms. The creation of more complicated wheelwork and the use of extremely meticulous spiral springs gave free rein to clockmakers’ imaginations, who invented animated objects that fascinated philosophers and scientists alike. Doctors, thespians and thinkers of the modern world all saw these increasingly lifelike automata: wonderful simulacra of life. These articulated figurines were to inspire thought, science, literature, the performing arts and more. Continuing this tradition, the house of Van Cleef & Arpels has harnessed all of its designers’ talents to create an exceptional automaton: a fairy, whose movements celebrate the art of the inventors of past centuries. Immersed in its designer’s studio, the reader sees an automaton come to life. "Automata" is the most substantial survey of this popular topic currently available.
