Résumé:
Collects over 175 years of key moments in the visual history of the Southern United States, with over two hundred and fifty photographs taken from 1845 to present. The South is perhaps the most mythologized region in the United States and also one of the most depicted. Since the dawn of photography in the nineteenth century, photographers have articulated the distinct and evolving character of the South’s people, landscape, and culture and reckoned with its fraught history. Indeed, many of the urgent questions we face today about what defines the American experience—from racism, poverty, and the legacy of slavery to environmental disaster, immigration, and the changes wrought by a modern, global economy—appear as key themes in the photography of the South. The visual history of the South is inextricably intertwined with the history of photography and also the history of America, and is therefore an apt lens through which to examine American identity.

Résumé:
A lively tour through experimental Chinese photography from the early 1990s to today The past thirty years were dynamic, transformative decades in Chinese photography. Artists exposed to recent work from around the globe experimented with photography in newly conceptual and expressive ways, and their art from this period offers a portrait of a country at a moment of rapid urbanization, globalization, and cultural foment. A Window Suddenly Opens reveals the key role that photography has played in questioning and refashioning the aesthetic and social status quo of modern Chinese society for the past three decades. Alongside prescient works by Cao Fei, Lin Tianmiao, Rong Rong, Song Dong, Wang Qingsong, Zhang Huan, Zhang Peili, and many other artists, essays and interviews by scholars and curators explore the history of experimental photography in China and the artistic transformations of the digital age.

Résumé:
From scientific discoveries to animist beliefs, plants are an inexhaustible source of stories that reveal our most intimate desires and fears. Photography is the primary witness to his phenomenon. ''Science/Fiction'' questions human projections and representations of the vegetal world, bringing to light the subjectivity, intelligence and expressive abilities of plants. The publication traces a visual history of plants, linking art, technology and science from the mid-19th century to the present day through two conceptual frameworks: scientific and fictional. Bringing together more than 30 artists across different periods of time and parts of the world, it employs the logic of the science fiction novel, taking us from a stable, identifiable world and gradually plunging us into uncertain landscapes.

If you look through private photo albums from East Germany dating from the period 1980 to 2000, you will notice very little changing in the pictures — at most the fashions, the hairstyles, and the cars.

Résumé:
If you look through private photo albums from East Germany dating from the period 1980 to 2000, you will notice very little changing in the pictures — at most the fashions, the hairstyles, and the cars. Meanwhile, the people who holidayed on the Baltic in the eighties quite possibly headed for Mallorca in the nineties. The fact that during this time a state went into terminal decline and then an entire society was turned upside down goes all but unseen in the pictures of children on their first day at school, weekend jaunts, and people exchanging Christmas presents. "... someone always had a camera ..." takes stock of a project that, since 2020, has been looking at private albums from these two decades to examine the world of private images they contain, informed by interviews with contemporary witnesses. In the essays in this volume, private photography is treated as a social practice, and the authors discuss how images were produced, organized in albums, and viewed, and how political conditions were registered in them.

Résumé:
Women have been professional photographers since the inception of the medium, yet their work has received far less attention than that of their male colleagues. From the more than 15 million photographs stored in the Dutch National Archives in The Hague, the editors of ''Pioneers: Photography by women'' selected a compilation of more than 200 images by 42 female photographers created between 1859 and 1999. It highlights well-known photographers in the Netherlands and abroad, such as Margaret Bourke-White and Eve Arnold, while also spotlighting under-recognized artists creating profound work. Whether through composition, technique or subject matter, their innovations paved the way for future generations of photographers.

Résumé:
Montreal, like other major cities, has inspired an astonishing number of photographers intent on capturing the urban experience. For some, the camera has served as a coping mechanism with which to process the difficult aspects of city life. For others, it has provided a recording device to save vital facets of Montreal from being forgotten. For others still, it has been a means of self-expression integral to a personal creative process. "Pounding the pavement" brings together thirty groups of work that exemplify the wide variety of approaches photographers have adopted when depicting the metropolis. What emerges from this unconventional assemblage is a history of Montreal, or at least a history of the ways Montrealers have used the street. The images occasionally reveal the city's beauty but more often convey its complexity, contradictions, diversity and comedy. Above all, they conjure the qualities that make some people want to leave Montreal and others want to stay forever.

Résumé:
Montréal, comme d’autres grandes villes, a inspiré un nombre étonnant de photographes avides de capturer l'expérience urbaine. Dans certains cas, l'appareil photo a servi de mécanisme d'adaptation pour composer avec les difficultés de la vie en ville. Dans d'autres cas, il fut employé comme un outil de documentation, pour sauver de l'oubli des aspects essentiels de Montréal. Dans d'autres encore, l'appareil a été un moyen d'expression faisant partie intégrante d'un processus de création personnel. "Battre le pavé" réunit trente corpus d’œuvres qui illustrent les multiples approches adoptées par les photographes pour représenter la métropole. Il ressort de cet assemblage non conventionnel une histoire de la ville, ou du moins une histoire des façons dont les Montréalais et les Montréalaises se sont approprié la rue. Les images révèlent parfois la beauté de la ville, mais plus souvent, elles témoignent de sa complexité, de ses contradictions, de sa diversité et de son humour. Avant tout, elles évoquent ce qui pousse certaines personnes à vouloir quitter Montréal, et d'autres à vouloir y rester à jamais.
