Résumé:
Celebrated nineteenth-century photographer—and writer, actor, caricaturist, inventor, and balloonist—Félix Nadar published this memoir of his photographic life in 1900 at the age of eighty. Composed as a series of vignettes (we might view them as a series of “written photographs”), this intelligent and witty book offers stories of Nadar’s experiences in the early years of photography, memorable character sketches, and meditations on history. It is a classic work, cited by writers from Walter Benjamin to Rosalind Krauss. This is its first and only complete English translation. In When I Was a Photographer, Nadar tells us about his descent into the sewers and catacombs of Paris, where he experimented with the use of artificial lighting, and his ascent into the skies over Paris in a hot air balloon, from which he took the first aerial photographs. He recounts his “postal photography” during the 1870-1871 Siege of Paris—an amazing scheme involving micrographic images and carrier pigeons. He describes technical innovations and important figures in photography, and offers a thoughtful consideration of society and culture; but he also writes entertainingly about such matters as Balzac’s terror of being photographed, the impact of a photograph on a celebrated murder case, and the difference between male and female clients. Nadar’s memoir captures, as surely as his photographs, traces of a vanished era.

In this book, Saul Anton argues that The Little Screens ‘operate both as a collection and much like a single photographic work conceived as open-ended, potentially infinite’.

Following the 1917 Russian Revolution, photography, film, and posters played an essential role in the campaign to disseminate modernity and Communist ideology. From early experimental works by Alexander Rodchenko and El Lissitzky to the modernist photojournalism of Arkady Shaikhet and Max Penson, Soviet photographers were not only in the vanguard of style and technological innovation but also radical in their integration of art and politics. Filmmakers such as Dziga Vertov, Sergei Eisenstein, and Esfir Shub pioneered cinematic techniques for works intended to mobilize viewers.

Résumé:
The Human Snapshot draws upon a conference of the same name organized by the LUMA Foundation and Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. The look toward art and photography stems from theorist Ariella Azoulay’s research on the seminal exhibition “The Family of Man,” first installed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955, which she frames as a lens through which to view universalism at play. These values have been under conceptual assault in recent years, yet they continue to proliferate—even through the visual arts, where humanism and universalism are customarily dismissed. The Human Snapshot takes these themes and wrestles with their application in the use of photography, the exhibition format, contemporary democracy, human rights discourse, and the power of the image at large.

Résumé:
Bien plus qu’un catalogue d’exposition, cet ouvrage de référence abondamment illustré présente les œuvres des vingt-cinq expositions de l’événement, et comprend des essais rédigés par des experts en art contemporain et en technologie. L’appareil photo n’est pas seulement un outil en attente d’être saisi et utilisé, mais aussi un instrument sophistiqué possédant ses propres lois, son propre fonctionnement, voire sa propre vie. Grâce à l’automatisation de ses mécanismes – et, plus récemment, l’intégration de l’ordinateur –, l’appareil photo est désormais capable d’intention et d’action. Il peut voir ce qui est invisible à l’oeil nu, fonctionner sans relâche, atteindre des endroits inaccessibles ou dangereux, et il peut aussi bien pénétrer le corps que voyager dans l’espace. On a longtemps considéré l’image comme étant l’aspect le plus important du processus photographique. Cependant, les artistes et les auteurs de Drone : l’image automatisée présentent une tout autre conception. Au centre de leurs préoccupations se trouve la relation en pleine mutation entre le corps et l’appareil photo, et la manière dont celui-ci peut opérer avec un minimum d’intervention. Tandis que l’humain s’appuie de plus en plus sur la technologie pour prolonger sa vision, l’appareil photo devient une extension du corps. De la télévision en circuit fermé à Google Street View, des contrôles à distance aux robots, des photomatons aux drones, l’appareil photo est en voie de redéfinir les conditions de l’existence humaine.
