Résumé:
Tout au long de ses soixante années de carrière, Franco Fontana a photographié ce que l’on ne voit pas, réussissant à fixer dans l’objectif une image « autre », détachée de la réalité, libérée du sujet représenté. Son travail sur la géométrie, les proportions et la composition lui a permis d’atteindre par paliers une synthèse conceptuelle qui est à la fois son langage personnel et sa manifestation formelle. Ce volume est le résultat d’une exploration minutieuse des archives de l’artiste, qui a fait émerger des clichés inédits, allant des recherches les plus expérimentales aux manifestations les plus libres de sa subjectivité, sans négliger pour autant les images iconiques qui ont rendu leur auteur célèbre dans le monde entier.

Résumé:
Économie, écologie, territoires : Pierre Veltz poursuit et actualise dans cet essai son exploration de notre monde turbulent, mariant une approche fine des univers techniques et une vision socioéconomique de grande ampleur. Le sujet qui va dominer les décennies à venir est celui de la crise écologique, mais les récits du futur sont extrêmement divergents. Partant de ce constat, l’ouvrage esquisse nos avenirs possibles, autour d’une question centrale qui est celle du devenir de l’industrie. Entre ceux qui prônent le microlocalisme et ceux qui pensent géopolitique, entre ceux qui rêvent de permaculture généralisée et ceux qui ne voient le salut que dans la high-tech, les lignes de fracture sont profondes. Où allons-nous, où voulons-nous aller ensemble?

Résumé:
Grace Ndiritu delves into radical approaches to education, drawing from her self-directed research in alternative, nomadic, and spiritual communities. Her experiences - from Buddhist monasteries to permaculture communities - profoundly shaped her understanding of embodied learning and its relevance in times of social upheaval. "Being together: A manual for living" reflects on these themes, weaving voices from her social practices to explore collective action and shared destiny within the context of contemporary art education. This second edition, enriched with new essays, deepens the dialogue around these ideas. Published alongside her solo exhibition "The compassionate rebels, tools for everyday living part 1" at Page Not Found, the book extends the exhibition’s exploration of transformative educational practices and communal living.

Résumé:
This exploration of Leonardo da Vinci's life and work identifies what it was that made him so unique and explains the phenomenon of the world's most celebrated genius who, 500 years on, still grips and inspires us. Martin Kemp offer us exceptional insights into what it was that made this Renaissance man so special, and the 'real' meaning behind such masterpieces as The Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. Tracing Leonardo's career in all its variety, we learn of his unfulfilled dreams, relationships with powerful patrons, and the truth about his religious views. Kemp cuts through the dense veil of legend, challenges the myths, and offers an unparalleled portrait of this extraordinary man.

Résumé:
"Space" is a photographic exploration of Japanese architecture and design in size-constricted areas, exploring imaginative, ingenious, and revolutionary solutions to space-compromised living. Masters in the art of managing small spaces, the Japanese in their design have given rise to a particular style of ingenuity. In their work, Japanese interior designers and architects constantly draw on cultural traditions, while using a modern, even radical approach. Whether in the use of lightweight partitions to create flexible spaces, deliberate profligacy to give a feeling of generosity, or strange perspectives, the results are not mere workaday solutions, but artistic and unusual ones that can turn a lack of space into a surfeit of style.
