Résumé:
Identifying a recent shift in the dominance of photography, David Levi Strauss looks at the power of the medium in the age of Photoshop, smart phones, and the internet, asking important questions about how we look and what we trust. Offering a poignant argument in the era of ''fake news,' Strauss draws attention to new changes in the technology of seeing. Some uses of 'technical images' are causing the connection between images and belief (between seeing and believing) to fray and pull apart. How is this shifting our relationship to images? Will this crisis in what we can believe come to threaten our very purchase on the real? This book is an inquiry into the history and future of our belief in images.

Résumé:
Polaroid instant photography revolutionized the taking and making of pictures, and the story of its beginnings is a simple one. In 1943, after being asked by his daughter why she couldn’t immediately see the photograph he had just taken, American inventor and scientist Edwin H. Land conceived of the technology required to make this seemingly impossible demand a reality—within an hour. Land’s creation was a groundbreaking scientific accomplishment that also heralded an exciting new chapter of artistic expression. Through the efforts of thousands of photographers the world over, as well as the corporation’s own artist support program, which provided many with materials, Polaroid would help shape the artistic landscape of the late twentieth century. Published to accompany a major traveling exhibition, "The Polaroid project" is a creative exploration of the relationship between Polaroid’s many technological innovations and the art that was created with their help. Richly designed with over 300 illustrations, this impressive volume showcases not only the myriad and often idiosyncratic approaches taken by such photographers as Ansel Adams, Robert Mapplethorpe, Ellen Carey, and Chuck Close, but also a fascinating selection of the technical objects and artifacts that speak to the sheer ingenuity that lay behind the art. With essays by the exhibition’s curators and leading photographic writers and historians, "The Polaroid project" provides a unique perspective on the Polaroid phenomenon—a technology, an art form, a convergence of both—and its enduring cultural legacy.

""La solitude heureuse du voyageur" est un choix de photographies tiré de mes voyages, rempli de déserts, de villes et de chambres d'hôtel. Comme pour "Notes", mon premier livre fondateur, il y a toujours la place d'une femme aimée au bord du cadre, comme si je photographiais mon désir et que le paysage me renvoyait un moi enfin apaisé."

Résumé:
Today, in the age of CCTV, drones, medical body scans, and satellite images, photography is increasingly decoupled from human agency and human vision. In Nonhuman Photography, Joanna Zylinska offers a new philosophy of photography, going beyond the human-centric view to consider imaging practices from which the human is absent. Zylinska argues further that even those images produced by humans, whether artists or amateurs, entail a nonhuman, mechanical element—that is, they involve the execution of technical and cultural algorithms that shape our image-making devices as well as our viewing practices. At the same time, she notes, photography is increasingly mobilized to document the precariousness of the human habitat and tasked with helping us imagine a better tomorrow. With its conjoined human-nonhuman agency and vision, Zylinska claims, photography functions as both a form of control and a life-shaping force.

Résumé:
Engagé dans un projet artistique, Philippe Bazin prend parti et analyse des oeuvres de Lewis Baltz, Allan Sekula, Martha Rosler ou encore Bruno Serralongue, ainsi que de photographes moins connus comme Géraldine Millo, David Marié ou Mahaut Lavoine. Les textes rassemblés créent une unité de réflexion autour d'une photographie critique des contextes historiques, esthétiques et idéologiques dans lesquels elle se crée aujourd'hui, une "photographie documentaire critique". Chaque texte ouvre une nouvelle facette de cette photographie, alors que l'ensemble est introduit par un texte qui entend proposer une méthodologie de travail, une "attitude documentaire". Le livre explore ainsi les apports d'une posture critique, dans tous les sens du terme - appréciation, épreuve, seuil, distance, tension, crise, analyse - et s'achève par la formulation d'un "manifeste documentaire" (écrit avec la philosophe Christiane Vollaire).

Réalité éminemment subjective, objet vivant et évolutif, le paysage reflète aussi à travers ses mutations les transformations de la société. Ancré historiquement dans l’art des jardins, le projet de paysage a rencontré plus récemment de nouvelles échelles avec l’aménagement des villes et des territoires, suscitant argumentations et débats. Dès ses origines, la photographie a été associée au paysage pour le documenter, témoigner de ses évolutions, le promouvoir, le défendre. Le rôle de la photographie est bien sûr variable en fonction des contextes culturels et des périodes historiques et renvoie à des situations de commande variées.

Résumé:
Dyer takes the viewer/reader on a wildly original journey through both iconic and unseen images from the archive, including eighteen previously unpublished color photographs. The book encompasses most of Winogrand’s themes and subjects and remains broadly faithful to the chronological and geographical facts of his life, but Dyer’s responses to the photographs are unorthodox, eye-opening, and often hilarious. This inimitable combination of photographer and writer, images and text, itself offers what Dyer claims for Winogrand’s photography—an education in seeing.

Résumé:
Victor Burgin is one of the most influential artists and writers working today. He came to prominence as a key ?gure in the Conceptual Art of the late 1960s. After turning to photography in his artistic practice he produced a series of groundbreaking theoretical essays that drew on semiotics, psychoanalysis and feminism in order to think through the ideological role of photographs in the production of beliefs and values, and in the understanding of memory, history, subjectivity and space. This collection brings together for the ?rst time Victor Burgin’s writings related speci?cally to the camera, following the shifts and nuances in his thinking over nearly ?ve decades. Moreover, it allows us to chart the evolution of what the camera was and is, and how its affects are to be understood.
