Résumé:
En 1953, l’écrivain-voyageur suisse Nicolas Bouvier quitte Genève pour un voyage de quatre ans qui se terminera au Japon, avec pour seuls luxes une Fiat Toppolino qui offre la liberté d'aller où l'on veut et une lenteur érigée en art. «L’Usage du monde», récit de cette aventure, est devenu un livre culte dans le monde entier. En 2004-2005, le photographe Frédéric Lecloux refait cette route, en voiture. «L'Usure du monde», ainsi nommé en hommage à Nicolas Bouvier, alterne photographies et récit de voyage, et conduit le lecteur dans un glissement poétique à travers les pays de l'ex-Yougoslavie, la Turquie, l'Iran, le Pakistan et l'Afghanistan.

Résumé:
This exquisitely produced exhibition catalogue highlights the powerful role of such camaraderie in shaping photography at this seminal time, before the emergence of a market for photography and before widespread artistic acceptance of the medium. It brings to light contrasting philosophies of the artist/photographer's role (influenced by Existentialism for Siskind and by the writings of Spinoza for Sommer), the interest in chance as an artistic process, the expressive potential of photographic found objects and collage, experimental abstraction, close affiliations with fine art movements (New Bauhaus, Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism), and changing attitudes toward the fine-print tradition.

Résumé:
Into the Sunset examines how photography has pictured, established and transformed the idea of the American West, from 1850 to the present. The development of photography coincided with the exploration and settlement of the West, and this simultaneous growth resulted in a complex relationship that has shaped the perception of that region's physical and social landscape to this day. Published to accompany a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Into the Sunset charts changing myths and cultural attitudes about the West through photographs dating from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. An expansive and dynamic survey, it brings together photographers as diverse as Carleton E. Watkins and Stephen Shore, Darius Kinsey and Dorothea Lange, Robert Frank and Cindy Sherman, an unknown daguerreotypist and Richard Prince. More than 120 works are organized thematically to highlight the artists' differing views of the West's land and people.

Résumé:
The legendary Cava di Gioia quarry in Carrara, Italy, was the source of the luminous white marble used by Michelangelo, Bernini, Henry Moore, and other renowned sculptors. Carrara, a volume of stunning photographs by William Wylie, reveals that the beauty of the quarry itself can be as alluring as the sculptures carved from its stone. Wylie is the first photographer to document Cava di Gioia since Ilario Besi, early in the twentieth century. For six years, Wylie photographed the changing landscape of the quarry, and his images capture the intense physical scale of the site, the dramatic setting, and the character of the stonecutters, or cavatori, who have worked the quarry for generations. Wylie’s astonishing photographs present a remarkable panorama carved by more than twenty centuries of excavation. As well, his images of the stonecutters are sensitive portraits of men shaped by their occupation, toughened and enlivened by their work.

Among them it is clear that his photographs explore ‘objects, places and actions,' along with ideas such as belonging, identity, and the processes of construction and transformation. Furthermore, these actions, objects and places shown in the images ‘find themselves in a no-mans land between reality, dreams and the fantasy found in children's stories.' Rich and mysterious, the 45 full colour photographs come printed, uninterrupted, one on each double page.

Résumé:
La publication Alt. +1000 présente le travail photographique de huit artistes proposant un regard personnel sur l’environnement Alpin. Aux images de Vanessa Püntener sur le monde paysan d’aujourd’hui et celles de Thomas Flechtner montrant la montagne dans sa dimension la plus pure s’ajoutent les travaux de six jeunes photographes suisses et français. Leur démarche invite à contempler la montagne sous un angle nouveau. Loin de la carte postale touristique, ces artistes évoquent la montagne sous des facettes inattendues : effrayante, spectaculaire, domptée, abandonnée, décalée, féerique. Parallèlement, les rencontres entre reporters et plasticiens permettent de proposer une lecture multiple du monde. Le spectateur est amené à déplacer son point de vue et à réévaluer la question des critères esthétiques. En un temps où l’image stéréotypée de la montagne-ski ou de la montagne-performance en est venue à écoeurer le public au point qu’il se détourne du monde alpin, ce livre est une excellente occasion de promouvoir une révolution du regard.

Résumé:
Architecture and photography are both semi-autonomous disciplines, suspended between the fine arts and the utilitarian. Because of this condition, realism is considered a given in both, something that happens almost by default. As soon as a building is inhabited it becomes the backdrop for somebody's everyday drama - just like a photograph that, the moment it is taken, is understood as an automatic record of whatever was in front of the camera. In his new book, Jesus Vassallo traces a series of collaborations between architects and photographers starting in the immediate post-war years and up to the present. Consistently, the subject matter of these collaborations is the anonymous built environment, which in different ways presents both architects and artists with a mirror that interrogates and challenges the idea of realism in their respective disciplines.
