Résumé:
Imagine a collection of perforated leaves in which organisms like insects, fungi, or bacteria existing in the foliage have created an array of patterns. Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky’s ''Feeding on light'' examines photosynthesis through experimental photography. Bringing the outdoors into her analogue colour darkroom, the artist captures the traces of the often symbiotic relationships observed between trees, insects, and the sun. The book takes the form of a field guide, with an extensive index of common and scientific plant names linking the hundreds of photograms, contact prints, and negative prints. Essays contextualise her work through biology, ecology, and philosophy.

Résumé:
This book brings together fifteen projects by the French architect Jean-Christophe Quinton carried out between 2002 and 2021. The architectural projects presented are all isolated in remote locations, so the topography and the panorama are central to Quinton’s formal and creative process. The observation drawing enriches the information of the first visual contact with these places, endowing it with temporality. The project drawing is an exploration of their complexity, achieving a synthesis and discarding non-essential details. From the drawings spring the rules, the dimensions and the geometries that will constitute the system of things built or buildable

Résumé:
Sur fond de questionnement écologique avec Homo Labyrinthus, Frédéric Neyrat traverse l’histoire de la philosophie classique et contemporaine pour penser les conceptions occidentales de l’humain et ses origines. S’appuyant sur Darwin et les données de la paléoanthropologie de Picq, ce livre part à la recherche des origines de l’humanité. Elles s’avèrent multiples, labyrinthiques, mettant originairement en contact les humains avec les animaux et les médiations techniques. Pour l’humanisme que l’auteur qualifie d’« intégral », et qui commence bien avant le XVIee siècle, l’être humain est un être d’exception : seul être sans définition, sans « nature », il peut devenir ce qu’il veut.

Long the most infamous street in America, in recent years Forty-second Street has been remade into a sanitized tourist haven. In the forced disapearance of peep shows and street hustlers to make room for a Disney store, a childreen's theater, and large, neon-lit cafés, Samuel R. Delany sees a disapearance, not only of the old Time Square, but of the complex social relationships that developed there. Times Square Red, Times Square Blue paints a portrait of a society dismantling the institutions that promote communication between classes and disguising its fears of cross-class contact as 'family values'.

The world was a lot bigger place when Schnebli took off on this ''slow journey'' to study architectural history, especially the urban development of old cities, ruins and excavations. Now, more than fifty years after his trip, Schnebli's black and white photos are being published for the first time after gathering dust for decades as contact prints in his sketchbooks. Combined with text excerpts from his journal.

The Belfast Exposed Archive occupies a small room on the first floor at 23 Donegal Street and contains over 14,000 black-and-white contact sheets, documenting the Troubles in Northern Ireland. These are photographs taken by professional photo-journalists and 'civilian' photographers, chronicling protests, funerals and acts of terrorism as well as the more ordinary stuff of life: drinking tea; kissing girls; watching trains. Belfast Exposed was founded in 1983 as a response to concern over the careful control of images depicting British military activity during the Troubles. The marks on the surface of the contact strips – across the image itself – allude to the presence of many visitors. These include successive archivists, who have ordered, catalogued and re-catalogued this jumble of images. For many years the archive was also made available to members of the public, and sometimes they would deface their own image with a marker pen, ink or scissors. So, in addition to the marks made by generations of archivists, photo editors, legal aides and activists, the traces of these very personal obliterations are also visible. They are the gestures of those who wished to remain anonymous.

Résumé:
Despite his debilitating lifelong physical condition, Shigeo Gocho (1946–1983) left a legacy of three photographic collections and one volume of artwork, as well as contact prints, notebooks, and memo books. The re-evaluation of Gocho’s oeuvre began at the end of the 1980s and continues today. This not only concerns his personal story but also the fact that the allusions to various social phenomena and “edges” portrayed in his works deeply resonate with many people at the core of their being. This impressive overview features Gocho’s photographic series ‘Self and Others’ (1977), ‘Familiar Street Scenes (1981), and ‘Childhood’ (1983), alongside his spiritual and abstract artworks.

Résumé:
From 1927 until his death in 2001, operator Jerry Powell transmitted radio signals from his bedroom in Hackensack, New Jersey, touring the world’s most remote locations and communicating with people from Greenland to occupied Japan. Once he made contact with a fellow ham operator, he exchanged postcards – known as QSLs cards – with them. For seven decades, Powell collected hundreds of these cards, documenting his fascinating career in amateur radio and providing a dazzling graphic inventory of people and places far flung. This book is both an introduction to the world of ham and a visual feast for anyone interested in the language of graphic design.
