Photography after capitalism

In ''Photography after capitalism,'' Benedict Burbridge makes the case for a radically expanded conception of photography, encompassing the types of labor too often obscured by black-boxed technologies, slick platform interfaces, and the compulsion to display lives to others.

Résumé:
Who owns the past? Are museum archives and their re-collections of cultural heritage a cult of the dead-and if so, are we living in a necropolis? This book on photography, cemeteries, and the archive evolved out of an experimental research project at the Bibliotheca Hertzianain Rome, with its immense collection of canonic photographs from the history of art and architecture. An artist's book, it takes on the form of a description of an unfinished film in five acts-a cinematic fragment, so to speak: ''DOPOSTORIA.'' The title essay by Christoph Keller is complemented by two contributions on burial cultures in prehistory and in modernity from the archaeologist Maria Clara Martinelli and the modern historian Carolin Kosuch. A sequence of collages at the back of the book conjures up a phantasmagorical journey through an ancient-modern Rome.

« Tout a débuté par un essai, consacré à quelques uns des problèmes esthétiques, et moraux, que pose l’omniprésence des images photographiques : mais plus je réfléchissais à la nature des photographies, plus elles devenaient complexes et suggestives. Si bien qu’un essai en engendra un autre, qui à son tour (à mon grand étonnement), en engendra un troisième, et ainsi de suite, chacun ajoutant un maillon à une chaîne d’essais sur le sens et la vie des photographies, jusqu’à ce que je fusse allée assez loin pour que le développement esquissé dans le premier essai, étayé puis prolongé dans les suivants, pût être récapitulé et généralisé de façon plus théorique. Et trouver son terme. […] Ecrire sur la photographie, c’est écrire sur le monde. Et ces essais sont en fait une méditation prolongée sur la nature de notre modernité. » (Susan Sontag)

Résumé:
Dans ces deux essais complémentaires, à partir de métaphores suscitées par la tuberculose, le cancer ou le sida, Susan Sontag propose une réflexion sur la propension qu’a l’homme à s’emparer d’une maladie pour y greffer les métaphores les moins innocentes. Nourrie de culture historique, littéraire, philosophique, cette analyse embrasse sources médicales ou psychiatriques et textes littéraires, de l’Antiquité aux temps modernes. Sontag démystifie les fantasmes idéologiques qui démonisent certaines maladies et souligne à quel point le sida a réactivé le spectre de l’épidémie dont le monde moderne se croyait débarrassé. Certains en font la « peste » de notre temps, le châtiment infligé par Dieu aux groupes « déviants ». En dénonçant ce catastrophisme, Susan Sontag propose une réflexion extraordinaire d’intelligence. En creux, c’est l’Histoire de nos sociétés qui est donnée à lire.

Résumé:
Dans cet essai rédigé au lendemain des attentats du 11 Septembre, Susan Sontag pose un regard neuf sur les emplois de la photographie devant les souffrances de la guerre. Près de quatre décennies après Sur la photographie, elle dessille une fois de plus les yeux de ses contemporains en s’interrogeant sur nos façons de voir et de représenter le monde. Les images « chocs », omniprésentes, nous rapprochent-elles ou nous éloignent-elles de la réalité ? Nous aident-elles à comprendre les souffrances d’autrui, ou érigent-elles au contraire, entre notre oeil et ce qu’il voit, un mur d’indifférence ? Susan Sontag retrace l’évolution de la sensibilité collective face aux visions d’horreur auxquelles l’humanité ne cesse de se confronter, des tableaux de Goya aux charniers du Rwanda ou de Sarajevo en passant par les photographies de la guerre de Sécession, des tranchées de Verdun et des camps de la mort.

Résumé:
This book deals with objects of migration on the central Mediterranean route. Traces of this phenomenon include objects left more or less voluntarily by migrant people along their journey, particularly upon arrival on the shores of Lampedusa and Sicily. Since 2013, hundreds of these objects have been retrieved by Massimo Ricciardo with his colleague Thomas Kilpper, and are now part of the “Objects of Escape – Inventories of Migration’’ archive. These objects are functional to the journey, such as biscuit tins and water bottles, passports and nautical charts, but they also relate to identity and memory, such as family photographs, diaries, or a handful of earth from their homeland. In the installation “Objects of Migration, Photo-Objects of Art History: Encounters in an Archive,” Ricciardo creates a dialogue between selected objects from this archive and structures from the KHI Photothek on the other. The installation, which led to this book, raises a series of highly relevant questions about these ‘talking’ objects: who do they belong to? Are they part of the cultural heritage? What would be the appropriate artistic and curatorial approach if one decided to collect, archive, exhibit, transform them?

In an era of climate catastrophe and corporate agribusiness, meat has been decisively made over.

Résumé:
In an era of climate catastrophe and corporate agribusiness, meat has been decisively made over. Urbanites across the West are called upon to look at the animals we eat, and by looking, learn to treat them with love. We are asked to tenderise our carnal desire for flesh and dignify our relationship with the land. Yet can our appetite for meat be redeemed by this new way of seeing? Can an ‘ethical’ approach to the farming, sale, and consumption of meat really save both the planet and our souls? In ''Meat love'', Amber Husain deconstructs the beauty, tragedy, and mystery with which our images of meat are embellished, drawing on a range of visual sources from contemporary art and film to Instagram and advertising. Probing the nature of ‘love’ in contemporary human-animal relations, this illustrated essay casts a materialist’s critical eye on the visual culture of meat as it gentrifies and mutates, informing, for better or for worse, our political imaginations.

Résumé:
The first book to demystify the process of producing and publishing a book of photographs, ''Publish your photography book'' was first released in 2011 and subsequently sold out two editions. This highly anticipated third edition guides photo-based artists through the steps involved in publishing a book of their work. Industry insiders Darius D. Himes and Mary Virginia Swanson survey the current landscape of photography-book publishing and point out the many avenues to pursue and pitfalls to avoid. This updated, expert guide covers: a history of the photobook; an overview of the publishing industry; the process of bringing your project to book form (with both traditional publishing and self-publishing options); how to market a photography book (including a dialogue with collectors on the limited edition and artist-made books); case studies with published photographers; and valuable resources on production materials, publishing and marketing timelines. Filled with educational wisdom, the book features interviews and contributions from artists, agents, editors, designers, printers, publishers, distributors, booksellers, curators and librarians who share their experiences and provide advice about each step on the path to publication and placement. A removable workbook helps readers address book preparation, draft submission guidelines, production timelines and marketing plans. With over 50 years of combined industry experience and insights, the authors also provide both historical context and contemporary expertise about the international photobook scene, including awards, fairs and grants.
