Résumé:
"Ceci n'est pas un portrait" is a possible comprehensive depiction of the production of a new generation of Portuguese practices. The publication brings together a collection of more than 300 photographs by Francisco Ascensão illustrating about 70 projects made by young architecture offices in Portugal."Today, it is nearly impossible to distinguish architectural schools or styles. Regional schools are homogenized by a universal system of education and references, temporal periodization is absorbed by the ‘contemporary’. In the book there is no claim about a certain tendency. The absence of captions is programmatic. Rather than competing for clients and attention the images show a culture of generosity and mutual curiosity, a culture of openness and collectivity, immediacy and care, optimism and liveliness. A new beginning." - Philip Ursprung, 2024

Résumé:
W.G. Sebaldís books are sui generis hybrids of fiction, travelogue, autobiography and historical expose, in which a narrator (both Sebald and not Sebald) comments on the quick blossoming of natural wonders and the long deaths that come of human atrocities. All his narratives are punctuated with images--murky photographs, architectural plans, engravings, paintings, newspaper clippings--inserted into the prose without captions and often without obvious connection to the words that surround them. This important volume includes a rare 1993 interview called ì'But the written word is not a true document': A Conversation with W.G. Sebald about Photography and Literature,î in which Sebald talks exclusively about his use of photographs. It contains some of Sebald's most illuminating and poetic remarks about the topic yet.

Résumé:
"Images left behind are in the end stronger than truth and facts. Through Douglas Kirkland's images we can imagine what the famous Coco had been all about before she became the formidable Chanel," muses Karl Lagerfeld in Mademoiselle, a selection of photographs of Chanel taken by Douglas Kirkland in 1962 on assignment in Paris for the American magazine Look. Lagerfeld is the designer currently at the helm of the Parisian fashion house, made iconic by designer Coco Chanel during her long reign, from 1909-1971--and the designer of this handsome edition as well. Through his introduction and captions to these photographs, we understand how important Chanel's image has been to the success of the century-old French couture line.

Résumé:
Observations is Roman Ondák’s humorous and perceptive study of how language modifies images and vice versa. It consists of seemingly nondescript, black-and-white photographs of domestic interiors, public events, street scenes and objects, augmented with brief captions, which he arranges into thematic pairs or sequences. Thus a photograph of a train pulling into a station is captioned “Emphasis on events to come,” and is paired with a photograph of an abandoned wrecked car, captioned “Emphasis on past events.” The images and their laconic texts coolly record the subtleties of everyday transactions and role play, abstracting layers of social coding and meaning from the most innocuous-seeming situations. Published for Observations’s first complete exhibition at Documenta 13 (2012), this artist’s book reproduces the entire series.

Résumé:
The work of landscape architecture firm Lucas & Lucas extends the architecture of the house into the garden through carefully selected elements of design. Each of the ten projects in this volume includes a design narrative that addresses the interconnections between home and land, detailed captions, and a site plan. Readers will learn how to implement features such as landscape windows, breeze-catching grasses, cascading concrete waterfalls, and trees with thoughtfully cast shadows to transform their landscape. The book includes a roundup of Mike Lucas's favorite plants—those best suited to different types of properties and for different purposes like drought tolerance or fast growth. The featured projects will appeal to garden designers, landscape architects, landscape contractors, architects, and home builders, as well as home gardeners looking for inspiration.

Résumé:
This highly visual investigation shows the complex nature and enormous impact of recent developments in our information society: a transformation produced by the irresistible combined expansion of digital technology and telecommunication networks. The urban space is a privileged laboratory for observing and experiencing the density of signs and their multiple frameworks: Signage, Giant Screens, Signboards, Flags, Poster Displays, Architecture and Advertisement, Surveillance Technologies, Tracking Devices, etc. Eric Sadin started this project during a residence in Kyoto, Japan, then enlarged the focus of the inquiry to further Asian, European, and American cities as Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Bombay, Paris, London, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, New York. The result is a fascinating visual journey in 2000 colour illustrations with explanatory captions, structured into some 100 topics and analysed in brilliant theoretical texts providing the necessary background.

Résumé:
Unknown lady in the radiation protection department, puddle, dancing couple in costume, damage to a waste drum, retiree send-off, lead shielding, burnt-out glovebox, scorpion with microchip—these are all captions to photographs of Germany’s first major nuclear research facility. In 1957, professional photographers began to make an on-site record of procedures at the Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe (KfK, Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center). In 2017, the decision was made to digitize ten percent of this image archive. Based on current concerns regarding the whereabouts of contaminated nuclear waste, the publication brings together over thirty perspectives from the fields of art, sociology, politics, and science as well as accounts of people who were directly involved with the facility. ''10%: Concerning the image archive of a nuclear research center'' sets out to delineate and visualize the afterlife of nuclear research. German edition.
