Résumé:
"Light in the Dark Room" explores photography not as a document of the past but rather as a realization of what we have lost. When we look at a photograph we see a moment that is no more. Photographs place reality into the past tense, representing not memory but memory’s loss. They are not conduits for the return of memory, but memento mori: reminders of the fact of death itself. And it is in this, Jay Prosser tells us, that we find the gift of photography. Engaging the photographic reflections of figures as different as Roland Barthes and Claude Lévi-Strauss, Gordon Parks and Elizabeth Bishop, "Light in the Dark Room" offers a vision of photography as realization of loss - and a revelation of how photographs can shed light on the dark rooms of our lives. Beginning with an analysis of Roland Barthes’s "Camera Lucida", Prosser explores the relationship of autobiography and photography and then considers Lévi-Strauss’s last published book, his photographic memoir; he uncovers the collection of photography painstakingly assembled by poet Elizabeth Bishop but never published; and he recounts the story of a forgotten Brazilian boy from the 1960s who lost his home as a result of photographs. The losses this book recalls are poignant yet universal - a son loses his mother; an anthropologist, his culture; a photographer, his youth; a poet, her lover. Among these personal and moving losses and the remarkable photographs that accompany them, Prosser weaves his own meditations on photography, on the interdependence of loss and enlightenment, on the emergence of our technologized society - and the world we have lost in the process.

Dans le talon de la botte réputé pour son patrimoine architectural centenaire et inégalé, ce livre met en lumière des bâtiments contemporains ignorés et méprisés, qu'ils soient brutalistes, modernistes ou simplement excentriques, pourtant empreints d'une importante valeur sociale. Une enquête historique célébrant des architectes méconnus et des conceptions sous-estimées, ce livre questionne et examine la subtile relation entre espaces publics sacrés, autorité divine et vie quotidienne dans le sud de l'Italie.

Résumé:
Dans cet ouvrage de la collection «Des oiseaux», la photographe sud-coréenne Kyunghee Lee nous embarque dans les forêts hivernales de l’extrême sud de son pays, à la rencontre des corbeaux. À la tombée de la nuit, immobile, attendant les oiseaux durant leur migration depuis la Sibérie, la photographe se cache parmi les arbres, son trépied protégé du grand froid qui règne alors à cette saison. Des volées de corbeaux surgissent du lointain, comme orchestrées par un invisible chorégraphe. L’air est rempli de leurs cris puissants, excluant tout autre sonorité de la forêt. La photographe sait qu’elle a peu de temps, elle appuie prudemment sur le bouton de l’obturateur, concentrée, maîtrisant le moindre bruit. Soudain, un silence complet se fait, l’obscurité est totale et l’air froid devient presque compact. La forêt offre aux oiseaux son hospitalité. Dans un puissant noir et blanc aux nuances de gris velouté, Kyunghee Lee nous immerge dans le monde mystérieux de ces oiseaux qui peuplent nos mythes et légendes.

Ceci n'est pas un livre d'architecture mais un livre de photographie sur une architecture qui s'exprime par le divers. Il s'agit d'un ouvrage qui entend proposer un regard photographique sur des bâtiments d'Abidjan portant l'empreinte d'un certain « modernisme tropical ». Plus exactement, 'Album Architectures, Abidjan' est le témoignage d'une rencontre entre deux individus qui habitent et partagent un attachement esthétique et émotionnel pour la cité lagunaire. Issa Diabaté, architecte, acteur contemporain du devenir architectural de cette ville qui ne cesse de se réinventer. François-Xavier Gbré, photographe qui a fait de l'architecture son médium privilégié d'appréhension de l'histoire sourde des lieux en envisageant les architectures comme les traces sédimentaires des changements sociaux et politiques d'un pays, la Côte d'Ivoire. Cet ouvrage, et la collection 'Album Architectures' plus largement, souhaite initier une réflexion sur la définition de la notion de patrimoine contemporain à travers la valorisation de paysages architecturaux riches et singuliers, pas toujours identifiés, souvent invisibilisés, de villes en perpétuelle mutation urbaine.

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.

Résumé:
When the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris asked Ari Marcopoulos to curate an exhibition around their acquisition ‘'Brown Bag'’, a short film on skateboarders in New York that he made in 1993, he was given access to the museum’s collection of over 15,000 works. He looked for themes related to the body, injuries, and architecture, along with what he perceived as challenging and puzzling works. Some of the artists were already familiar, while others were new to him. The process was not so different from his process as a filmmaker and photographer: so much of his work is about finding things. This book is a new look at photographs from around the time Marcopoulos shot ‘'Brown Bag'’.
