Résumé:
Geoffrey James directs his gaze to the in-between spaces and forgotten places that resist the idea of a cohesive national identity. With an equable eye, James documents the ephemeral and the monumental: a demolition derby in Quebec, how an inmate at Kingston Penitentiary has decorated his cell, the Dickensian side door of Massey Hall in Toronto.

Résumé:
Geoffrey James directs his gaze to the in-between spaces and forgotten places that resist the idea of a cohesive national identity. With an equable eye, James documents the ephemeral and the monumental: a demolition derby in Quebec, how an inmate at Kingston Penitentiary has decorated his cell, the Dickensian side door of Massey Hall in Toronto. The photographs in this collection celebrate the everyday while meditating on the issues James’s adopted home faces: the bifurcation of rural and urban, rapid growth and increasing inequality, and its journey toward truth and reconciliation. Linked by views taken from train windows from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, James’s unofficial portrait of Canada brings into sharp relief the unfinished business of the nation as it lurches into the next century. Canadian Photographs includes a conversation between the photographer and Peter Galassi, former Chief Curator of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art.

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.

Résumé:
An extraordinary collection of eighty pictures from the Alinari Archives located in Florence, Italy makes up a never-before-published sequence of images including portraits, landscapes, and rituals providing a rare entry into traditional 19th-century Japan. Felice Beato was one of the first Western photographers to enter Japan when the country first opened its borders (1853); he revealed to the Western world a country preserved in time and never seen before. In 1863 he moved to Yokohama and opened a photography school, the School of Yokohama. The photos of the book preserve the original photographic prints, manually colored black-and-white prints, that truly embody the spirit of that period. Images feature fascinating portraits of women in kimonos, geishas, samurai warriors, and interiors of Japanese homes and gardens as well as scenes of everyday life including tea ceremonies or the theater. Each photo is accompanied by text providing historical, anthropological, and artistic context.

Résumé:
The Fiction of Science is a collection of work by the Berlin-based photographer Frank Hülsbömer, whose dynamic depictions of immobile objects exist at the intersection of aesthetic abstraction and conceptual content. Whether sketchily visualized thoughts or meticulously staged motifs, the featured series evolves from the interplay of installations, colors, clusters, and geometrical compositions and often resemble computer renderings. Frank Hülsbömer, who has made a name for himself with contributions to magazines such as Wallpaper and has exhibited internationally since the mid-1990s, examines light, anatomical refractions and the construction of space and surface. Reminiscent of the Russian constructivism of the 1920s and the abstract photography of Moholy-Nagy, his photographs indicate the recent rediscovery of abstraction and geometrical work in contemporary art. The accompanying texts in the book illuminate the theoretical background and artistic approach of a photographic aesthetic that, despite its minimalistic strength and quasi-scientific precision, shines with exceptional depth and creates an outstanding poetic visuality.

Résumé:
Detroit 1968 was first published in 1972 under the title New American People, and was the subject of Enrico Natali's 1969 solo exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago. In his introduction to the 1972 edition, Hugh Edwards, former Curator of Photography at the Art Institute of Chicago, wrote: "All the photographs in the present collection were taken in 1967-1970 in Detroit, which in no way restricts their presentation as a brief of how Americans look and live today. These scenes and incidents might have occurred anywhere in the United States in this time when regional characteristics are disappearing ... this is a view of a situation and condition, not a localization." Forty years later, we can now also appreciate the specificity of Natali's subject, as this body of work presents an insightful exploration of Detroit when it was on the cusp of losing half of its inhabitants, along with its status as America's industrial capital.

Résumé:
Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri (1943–92) made ''Cardboard landscapes'' (''Paesaggi di cartone'') during his travels around Europe, coining the term 'sentimental geography' to describe his unique artistic approach of examining the ordinary to prove it remarkable. The original handmade album features over 100 chromogenic colour prints pasted onto the pages of a blank book, and was gifted by Ghirri to John Szarkowski, then the Director of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, in the 1970s. A singular work of art, ''Cardboard landscapes'' is now being published for the first time. The collection is an anomaly within Ghirri’s overall oeuvre, as it prioritizes complex composition rather than the sweeping tableaux for which he is best known. In this series of works, he regards the printed image as the subject, framing a kaleidoscope of photographs and advertisements to tell a poetic visual narrative that reflects at once regional, personal and popular culture, revealing a fascinating impulse to investigate his role within his own medium.

Résumé:
Tokuko Ushioda launched her career as a photographer around 1975, befriending figures such as Shigeo Gocho and Fusako Kodama, who became important inspirations. While studying under Kiyoji Otsuji, she crossed paths with Shinzo Shimao, who would later become her husband. In 1978, Ushioda and Shimao had a daughter and got married. The next year, the family moved into a single-room unit in a historic Western-style house. In this intimate setting, she continued to photograph, resulting in a wealth of images with a nostalgic familiarity and refined calmness. Published as a set of two books, this collection can be considered the starting point to her photography.

Résumé:
Throughout his career, the influential art photographer Jeff Wall has written periodically on a variety of subjects--from the work of his Vancouver colleagues, to the art of such diverse figures as Edouard Manet, On Kawara, and Dan Graham, to the important role of photography in Conceptual art. Wall's own work takes center stage in the many interviews he has granted over the past two decades. Both the essays and the interviews are indispensable to the study of Wall's work, which will be the subject of a major American traveling retrospective, with stops in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, throughout 2007. Thanks to Wall's wide-ranging curiosity, nimble mind, and articulate voice, the texts are also of considerable interest outside of the context of his own oeuvre. This generous selection of 14 essays and 23 interviews from the past 25 years is the first collection of Wall's texts to be published in English, and as such, is an instant collector's item. This affordable volume also includes 120 black-and-white illustrations for reference purposes.
