Résumé:
"The Colony" is a book about books, and what happens when their authority is quietly and actively undone. Liss Fenwick’s project enlists an unlikely team of co-authors: a termite colony living beneath their childhood home. Gathering books inherited from schoolrooms and family shelves – texts steeped in frontier myths, one-sided histories, and the erasure of First Nations cultures – Fenwick fed the selection to the termites and then photographed the remains: a dense, sculptural language of tunnels, voids, and clay scaffolds. It offers a reflection on the book as a dominant form of knowledge and its role in a long, often destructive relationship with other forms of intelligence and history.

Résumé:
Berlin-based photographer Jean Molitor has been traveling around the world since 2009, tracking the legacy of the Bauhaus. A century after the founding of the school, several generations of architects have confronted or been reared on the innovations of Bauhaus architecture. Trailblazers, allies and heirs to modernism are united by an architectural language generally described as "Bauhaus." In his Bau1haus project, Molitor focuses on the aesthetics of Bauhaus-influenced architecture across the globe; his pictures make it possible to perceive the continuity of the school's legacy and its architectural language across cultures in a clear fashion.

With Toba Sea-Folk Museum as its primary subject, this overview of four works by Japanese architect Hiroshi Naito centres upon the black-and-white images made by renowned photographer Yasuhiro Ishimoto. Upon Naitos request, Ishimoto photographed each project in detail, capturing the moment when a particular light manifests at a certain place, when nature and building fall into dialogue. In his writings, Naito not only lends detailed insight regarding his works, but also expresses his gratitude for the photographers keen eye, the warmth inherent in buildings, and the refined intervention of human endeavour in the natural landscape.

Résumé:
Photographer Stephen Shore’s extensive travels across the United States, document the banal scenes and objects he encounters along the way. This series was made on a single day in 2013, when Shore revisited a small Arizona town he had first seen in 1972. As part of Doug Aitken’s Station to Station project, in which invited artists, writers, performers and filmmakers rode a train from New York to California, stopping at various points to stage “happenings”, Shore decided to photograph Winslow and make a slideshow at the next stop; a visual improvisation. His portrait of the sun-baked town is bleak, with boarded-up buildings, abandoned objects and lifeless streets.

Résumé:
Plastic containers from around the world figure in this series by still-life photographer Shinichi Kaneko. The containers originate from 20 cities, the majority of which Kaneko visited himself, making the rounds past DIY stores, mid-sized supermarkets, suburban big-box stores, and more in search of bottles of intriguing shape. He then shot the objects under strong lighting while using filters to minimise surface halation and render a matte finish, a process he describes as akin to puzzling out a chess problem. Yet the results reveal aspects and guises that ordinarily remain hidden from view. The aim of Kaneko’s project is to discover new narratives within readymade products.

Résumé:
The first series ever realised by Italian photographer Olivo Barbieri, Flippers derives from his discovery of an abandoned, derelict pinball machine factory, and marks the starting point of his observations on visualising the superficial, which would lead to his artistic engagement with the uncertainty of the world’s surface. The fragmented pinball machines act as a cultural reminder, a throwback to the flashing momentum of the 1960s and ’70s, with rock music, science fiction, movie stars, and flower power. Published in its entirety for the first time, the pinball project was a formative experience for the photographer in his early years. Includes an interview with Barbieri and Francesco Zanot.

Résumé:
An ironic take on the Case Study House Program--initiated in 1945 by Arts and Architecture magazine in an effort to develop low-priced single-family homes --German photographer Peter Bialobrzeski's Case Study Homes was shot at the Baseco compound, a squatter camp near the Port of Manila, which is home to an estimated 70,000 people. As Bialobrzeski was considering the series--startling images of provisional structures fashioned from slats, cardboard, corrugated metal and other cast-off materials and refuse--Lehman Brothers Bank collapsed and the media declared a global economic crisis. These recent events lend resonance to Bialobrzeski's images, which recall the photographs of impoverished rural Americans commissioned by the Farm Security Administration in the 1930s. Conceived as a sketchbook for a larger project, the images evidence the human will to survive and a profound resourcefulness.

Résumé:
This catalog traces German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans' unique 2025 project at the Centre Pompidou, for which he was given a generous carte blanche. The result occupied the entire second floor of the Public Information Library, where Tillmans' experimental installation transformed the space, establishing a dialogue with the former library and questioning it both as architecture and as a locus for the transmission of knowledge. The work explores over 35 years of artistic practice through various photographic genres and constitutes another very personal representation of his universe, whose order and logic are activated in response to the library space. With 600 images, an index of the works alternates with numerous installation shots that show how the artist made this space his own, while a varied selection of essays by a younger generation of authors sheds new light on the various aspects of Tillmans' work.

Résumé:
"Salt Pans" is Edward Burtynsky’s newest book in his acclaimed ongoing series of photographs exploring different industrialized landscapes across the world. Consisting of 31 aerial photos of the salt pans in the Little Rann of Kutch, India, the project is the result of months of intricate negotiations and preparations. These striking geometric images, taken in an intense ten-day period during which Burtynsky photographed from a helicopter, present the pans, wells and vehicle tracks as abstract, painterly patterns: subtly colored rectangles crossed by grids of gestural lines. And yet the reality behind the ironic beauty of Burtynsky’s pictures is a harsh one. Each year 100,000 poorly paid Agariya workers toil in the pans, extracting over a million tons of salt from the floodwaters of the nearby Arabian Sea. Furthermore, receding groundwater levels, combined with debt, diminishing market values as well as a lack of governmental support, threaten the future of this 400-year-old tradition and the lives dependent on it.

Résumé:
Inuit indigenous ethnic groups inhabit an area stretching from North-East Siberia across the Bering Strait to Alaska up to Northern Canada all the way to Greenland. Climate change is already causing significant transformations having all kinds of impacts. For around four million people, the Arctic region is neither a curiosity, nor is it untouched wilderness: It is home. Since 2015, photographer Brian Adams from the Inupiaq ethnic group has been traveling through Alaska, capturing the Inuit and their individual stories and finding out how they spend their individual lives in the 21st century. Visiting around 20 communities, he took portraits of the residents and recorded their narratives, sharing these across social media. This project I am Inuit as well as this book has the aim of promoting understanding, dismantling stereotypes as well as misperceptions and connecting the world with Alaskan Inuits, and the Arctic, through common humanity.
