Résumé:
This book is an invitation to discover the woods as a place for both imaginative play and contemplation: collect pinecones, feathers, or stones; follow the tracks of a deer; or listen to the chirping of birds and the whisper of trees. Build a shelter and play hide-and-seek. Pretend the woods are a jungle, or shout out loud to stir up the birds! The forest comes alive in(...)

Résumé:
Since the early eighties, Gerry Johansson has made quiet pictures of quiet places, often lying in the shadows of industrial decline. For ''American Winter'', Johansson travelled through semi-deserted towns in Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado, finding as much beauty as there was misery in landscapes cloaked in snow: an isolated church floating in a mottled sea of white; leafless trees lining endless highways leading to nothing; long shadows cast on vernacular architecture in the season's merciless sun.

Résumé:
Hanezawa Garden is a walled garden in Tokyo, between thick foliage, slender bamboo and semi-inhabited outhouses, their plastic roofs heavy with leaves, as if reclaimed by the jealous trees. This book by Swedish photographer Anders Erdström documents the garden and peripheral details: a sealed cardboard box, lingering on a sill, or the receding body of a(...)

Résumé:
Hanezawa Garden is a walled garden in Tokyo, between thick foliage, slender bamboo and semi-inhabited outhouses, their plastic roofs heavy with leaves, as if reclaimed by the jealous trees. This book by Swedish photographer Anders Erdström documents the garden and peripheral details: a sealed cardboard box, lingering on a sill, or the receding body of a workman. Hanezawa Garden was demolished by the real estate developer Mitsubishi Estate in 2012, despite countless attempts by local residence to preserve the house and gardens.

Résumé:
Andy Goldsworthy's Passage focuses on the journeys that people, rivers, landscapes, and even stones take through space and time. A cairn made by the renowned sculptor in the Scottish village where he lives reveals the influence that his work close to home has on projects he creates elsewhere. A series involving elm trees, from glowing yellow leaves to dead branches, exemplifies his work's vigorous beauty as well as its association with death and decay. Creations on the beach and in rivers explore the passage of time, while a white chalk path investigates the passing from day into night. Passage also includes the Garden of Stones, a Holocaust memorial at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York, where the artist planted 18 oak trees through holes in hollowed-out, earth-filled boulders. Documenting these and other recent works, this beautiful book is an eloquent testament to Goldsworthy's determination to deepen his understanding of the world around him, and his relationship with it, through his art. Andy Goldsworthy's work is regularly exhibited in Britain, France, the United States, Japan, and elsewhere. Although commissions take him all over the world, the landscape around his home in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, remains at the heart of his work.

Résumé:
Architect, museum curator, and industrial designer Emilio Ambasz is perhaps most renowned for projects that fuse architecture and landscape—high-rise buildings enveloped in verdant screens of trees and plants, and houses that virtually disappear beneath mounds of earth. It has been said that his work defies easy categorization and analysis, and terms such as poetry, wonder, and myth are often ascribed to his designs. In this penetrating collection of essays, prominent scholars and architects take up the challenge and set about rigorously "analyzing Ambasz."

Résumé:
Featured in "Walker Evans: Florida" are the surprising images Evans took during his six-week stay in the area, which constitute a little-known chapter in Evans's distinguished career. Far from creating stereotypical postcard pictures of sandy beaches and palm trees, Evans captured a region of contradictions. Here in the nation's seaside vacationland, Evans focused his lens on decaying architecture, crowded street scenes, retirees, and numerous images of the animals, railroad cars, and circus wagons from Ringling Brothers Circus, whose winter home was in Sarasota.

Résumé:
Beyond time, out of time, stuck in time. The places Isabelle Tortola chooses to capture in her photographs tell the story of a bucolic, warm, and often introspective Italy. From north to south, with stops in between, Tortola captures rural landscapes with natural ones – suburbs and hidden corners, towering trees and seas that turn amber under the daylight against the backdrop of deep blue. A suspended time that does not, however, escape a sharp undercurrent of tension. Anything could happen at any moment – and everything could change.
