Résumé:
Cet ouvrage illustré dans l'univers des commodités réunit le sordide et l'engouement, la tradition et l'innovation, des toilettes sèches et des WC connectés à internet, Victor Hugo, Jean-Claude Decaux et Bill Gates. Moqué ou ignoré, le sujet des petits coins condense une partie des grands problèmes du monde. L'insuffisance des installations fait obstacle à l'égalité et à la dignité des personnes mobiles, des femmes, des sans-abri, des habitants des bidonvilles. Préoccupation de santé et de sécurité pour les centaines de millions d'individus toujours contraints à la défécation à ciel ouvert, les toilettes posent aussi des questions écologiques, au regard notamment de leur consommation en eau.

Résumé:
Dans Paris, à côté du piéton, la piscine fait surgir le baigneur et le nageur. Depuis plus d’un siècle, on peut y nager en toutes saisons. Il y a là un don de la Ville qui délivre le bipède de sa gravité. Se dénuder, se doucher, s’abandonner, couler, faire la planche, brasser, se revigorer et même par certaines baies vitrées, contempler des bouts de la capitale… Comment tous ces plaisirs de l’eau ont-ils été offerts aux Parisiennes et aux Parisiens? Une enquête menée par deux ethnographes amateurs, sur plus d’un an, dans les 41 piscines municipales de la capitale. Ils ont nagé, regardé, écouté. Ils ont conversé avec des maîtres-nageurs, d’autres nageurs, ils ont observé les édifices, humé les quartiers. Ils sont remontés à la source de toute cette affaire, la Seine.

With a focus on popular techniques such as stencils, cutouts, markers and wheatpaste, the author Benjamin Wolbergs documents the diverse styles of artists including D*Face from London, Faile and Swoon from New York and Fuck Your Crew from Berlin, just to name a few. In addition to the images, 17 in-depth interviews give detailed information about the artists backgrounds and methods. A separate City map leads the way to the locations in the heart of Berlin where author Benjamin Wolbergs took his fascinating photographs, and where new street art is waiting to be discovered daily.

Résumé:
Barcelona 1000 Graffiti is a photo-essay by Rosa Puig about graffiti in Barcelona, a city that's become a meeting place and 'concrete canvas' for graffitists from all over the world. The wide range of graffiti documented in this work is scattered throughout the city, a cause of astonishment and admiration for some, of concern for the authorities, and of despair for the owners of facades irreverently invaded under cover of darkness. The graffiti collected in this book are found in different areas of Barcelona - from the very central to the most far-flung - and offer very diverse topics and tones - by turns poetic, socially aware, dissenting - while competing with the customary visual pollution of the city and helping to enrich its landscape. The photographs reflect the surprised gaze of their author, at once captivated by 'graphic pieces' that, as she says, she 'would rip off the walls and hang in my house.'
