Résumé:
Artiste contemporain majeur, Sigmar Polke reste pourtant mal connu du public français. Interroger ses pratiques photographiques permet de mesurer l'importance d'expérimentations remontant aux années 1960. Xavier Domino nous présente, non sans humour, le large spectre des protocoles mis en œuvre et des résultats obtenus. À la description des éléments constitutifs de la «Polkographie», fait suite un «No medium's land» où voisinent photocopies et peintures; enfin, en «Photopolkie», le photographique ouvre à une compréhension globale de l'œuvre, et fonde son originalité, au croisement improbable du Pop Art et du post-modernisme.

Résumé:
«La photographie en France» dresse un panorama complet de la photographie française contemporaine et retrace, sur les trois dernières décennies, les principales évolutions d'une pratique considérée aujourd'hui comme une composante essentielle des arts plastiques.

Quatre textes de critiques européens viennent compléter cette étude et un portfolio donne à voir, avec une cinquantaine d’images reproduites, la vitalité de ce qu’il est désormais convenu d’appeler un «art contemporain» à part entière. L'ouvrage comprend également une bibliographie actualisée de plus de deux cents titres et un carnet d'adresses recensant les principales structures d'exposition, de collection, d'édition et de diffusion de la photographie française.

Résumé:
Drawing on the writings of Wallace Stevens, Marilynne Robinson and other poets, artists, musicians and thinkers, Brooklyn-based photographer Tim Carpenter (born 1968) argues passionately—in one main essay and a series of lively digressions—that photography is unique among the arts in its capacity for easing the fundamental ache of our mortality; for managing the breach that separates the self from all that is not the self; for enriching one’s sense of freedom and personhood; and for cultivating meaning in an otherwise meaningless reality. Printed in three colors that reflect the various ''voices'' of the book, the text design follows several channels of thought, inviting various approaches to reading. A unique and instructive contribution to the literature on photography, Carpenter’s research offers both a timely polemic and a timeless resource for those who use a camera.

Résumé:
In this book, Rebecca Bengal considers the photographers who have defined our relationship to the medium. Through generous essays and interviews, she contemplates photography’s narrative power, from the radical intimacy of Nan Goldin’s New York demimonde to Justine Kurland’s pictures of rebel girls on the open road. Bengal brings us closer to pioneering artists and the personal and political stories surrounding their images. She travels with Alec Soth in Minneapolis, searching for the houses where Prince once lived, and revisits Chauncey Hare’s 1979 protest against the Museum of Modern Art. She speaks with Dawoud Bey about his evocative portraits and explores Diana Markosian’s cinematic take on her family’s immigration to the US. Throughout Strange Hours, Bengal’s prose is attuned to the alchemy of experience, chance, and vision that has always pushed photography’s potential for unforgettable storytelling.
