Résumé:
À l’occasion de la célébration du centenaire de la mort de Ducos du Hauron, inventeur agenais de la photographie en couleur, François Saint Pierre propose une exposition qui explore le rapport à la couleur dans la photographie moderne et contemporaine, essentiellement aux États-Unis et en France. Le catalogue réunit plus de 120 œuvres de 19 photographes auteurs et artistes, autour des pionniers William Eggleston, Ernst Haas et Saul Leiter, qui, en faisant entrer la photographie en couleur au musée dans les années 60/70, ont battu en brêche le préjugé tenace selon lequel « le noir et blanc serait l’art et la couleur serait commerciale ». En Europe, où le monopole artistique du noir et blanc était encore plus marqué, l’Italien Luigi Ghirri dans les années 1970 et le Français John Batho dès 1963, s’engagent dans la photographie en couleur. « Je voulais savoir, déclare ce dernier, ce que la photographie pouvait avoir à dire au sujet de la couleur. » Cette réflexion se prolonge avec des artistes du numériques comme Constance Nouvel qui explore ce que peut encore la photographie à l’heure des réseaux sociaux. Avec des photographies de Vincent Ballard, Sammy Baloji, John Batho, Denis Brihat, Alix Delmas, Philippe Durand, William Eggleston, Luigi Ghirri, Jan Groover, Saul Leiter, Mazdak, Ernst Haas, Pierre et Gilles, Bernard Plossu, Julien Richaudaud, Paolo Roversi, Laure Tiberghien et James Welling.

Résumé:
''A path along the floor, of proportions 1×21 units, photographed. Photographs printed actual size of objects and prints attached to the floor so that images are perfectly congruent with their objects.'' With these words of instruction, typed on a humble card in 1967, Victor Burgin conceived one of the most profound and remarkable works of photographic art. Each time it was exhibited, it had to be made anew, unique to its setting. Embracing Minimalism and Conceptual art, performance and site-specific installation, there is no other artwork like Photopath. In his characteristically analytical and associative manner, writer and curator David Campany takes the reader through the history and implications of Photopath, and their place in the breadth of Victor Burgin’s art and theoretical writings.

Résumé:
How do the most diverse and relevant voices of contemporary photography respond to the urgent issues of today? In this series of small, insightful, and beautifully presented books, Henry Carroll, the bestselling photography writer of the last decade, unpacks the ideas behind images to reflect on race, gender, faith, inequality, beauty, politics, and our shifting relationship to animals, nature, and the environment. ''LAND: Photographs that make you think'' considers humanity’s changing relationship with the natural world, a relationship that has seen us edge further away from real encounters. The photographs explore how the sublime can be commodified, packaged, and distributed, leading to an alarming emotional distancing. With images from a diverse group of photographers, Carroll explores the impermanence of borders, the human reaction to scenes of devastation on Instagram feeds, and the many variables that inform one’s relationship to land. He considers how a photographer’s response to landscape is subjective, full of meaning that’s coloured by their own psyches, foibles, fears, and hopes. With captivating and striking photography, Carroll invites the reader to contemplate how their inner world influences their interactions with the natural world.

Résumé:
This volume is a beautifully illustrated and astute examination of women photographers in Canada as it took shape in the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Throughout, the camera was both a witness to the colonialism, capitalism, and gendered and racialized social organization, and a protagonist. And women across the country, whether residents or visitors, captured people and places that were entirely new to the lens. This book shows how they did so, and the meaning their work carries.

Résumé:
Even as the media environment has changed dramatically in recent years, one thing at least remains true: photographs are everywhere. From professional news photos to smartphone selfies, images have become part of the fabric of modern life. And that may be the problem. Even as photography bears witness, it provokes anxieties about fraudulent representation; even as it evokes compassion, it prompts anxieties about excessive exposure. Parents and pundits alike worry about the unprecedented media saturation that transforms society into an image world. And yet a great news photo can still stop us in our tracks, and the ever-expanding photographic archive documents an era of continuous change. By confronting these conflicted reactions to photography, Robert Hariman and John Louis Lucaites make the case for a fundamental shift in understanding photography and public culture. In place of suspicions about the medium’s capacity for distraction, deception, and manipulation, they suggest how it can provide resources for democratic communication and thoughtful reflection about contemporary social problems.

Photography and the optical unconscious

Résumé:
Photography is one of the principal filters through which we engage the world. The contributors to this volume focus on Walter Benjamin's concept of the optical unconscious to investigate how photography has shaped history, modernity, perception, lived experience, politics, race, and human agency. In essays that range from examinations of Benjamin's and Sigmund Freud's writings to the work of Kara Walker and Roland Barthes's famous Winter Garden photograph, the contributors explore what photography can teach us about the nature of the unconscious. They attend to side perceptions, develop latent images, discover things hidden in plain sight, focus on the disavowed, and perceive the slow. Of particular note are the ways race and colonialism have informed photography from its beginning. The volume also contains photographic portfolios by Zoe Leonard, Kelly Wood, and Kristan Horton, whose work speaks to the optical unconscious while demonstrating how photographs communicate on their own terms. The essays and portfolios in Photography and the Optical Unconscious create a collective and sustained assessment of Benjamin's influential concept, opening up new avenues for thinking about photography and the human psyche.
