Abstract

Photographer Vincent Fournier attempts in his images to create allegories of childhood dreams, where reality blends effortlessly with fiction. The meaning of the narratives therein intentionally oscillates between opposites – sense-nonsense, organic-artificial, truth-illusion, right-wrong, whole-part – in order to discover beauty in the unexpected. Whether the theme is space exploration and alien worlds, robotic entities, or engineered species, Fournier imbues his images with enough narrative elements to stimulate the evolution of a story, yet these tales always remain unfinished, sometimes absurd, ironical, or uncanny, and full of contradiction and anomaly.

Abstract

Post Scriptum Christer Strömholm is by far the largest monograph detailing the life and work of one of Swedens greatest photographers. With nearly 270 of Christer Strömholms best photographs, and including a biography by author Johan Tell and essays by journalist Carole Naggar and gallery owner Christian Caujolle. Christer Strömholm (1918-2002) is considered to be one of the most important Swedish photographers of our time. He spent most of his life in Sweden but early on made France his second home. He founded the legendary photography school Fotoskolan in Stockholm in 1962 and inspired an entire generation of photographers. His first book, Poste Restante, made him a renowned photographer and his depiction of transsexuals in the Paris of the 1960s resulted in Vännerna från Place Blanche (The Friends from Place Blanche). His images from travels in Japan, Spain and the United States have won wide acclaim and he is represented in several of the worlds leading museums. Christer Strömholm was appointed professor of photography by the Swedish government and was honoured with the prestigious Hasselblad Award in 1997.

Abstract

Lying hidden away in Dennis Hopper's home until their discovery months after the artist's death in 2010, this collection of spectacular photographs, exhibited only once in 1969-70 at the Fort Worth Art Center Museum, is a testament to Hopper's prolific and enormous talent behind the camera. These photographs are spontaneous, intimate, poetic, observant, and decidedly political. While some are portraits of figures within Hopper's circle of actor, artist, musician, and poet friends--including Jane Fonda, Paul Newman, and Robert Rauschenberg--they also include images from his extensive travels in Los Angeles, New York, London, Mexico, and Peru. Hopper's abiding support of the Civil Rights movement and social justice is evident in his shots from the march on Selma and Harlem street scenes. In images of beauty and stillness he transfers Abstract Expressionism into the artistic language of photography. Throughout this stunning volume Hopper's sensitive, keenly observant eye shines through, making it clear that he was a deeply committed chronicler of the events that were unfolding around him.

Abstract

This book brings together the most memorable and beautiful of images, taken around the world over the last 30 years. McCurry's ability to cross boundaries of language and culture to capture fleeting moments of human experience is unique. With his discerning eye for form and colour, shape and symmetry, he offers us windows into other worlds. Seen at the large scale of this new book, McCurry's images are particularly powerful: reproduced at slightly larger than life size, his portraits have an extraordinary immediacy and impact, while even the smallest details of his spectacular landscapes are clearly visible on the page. In this title, portraits of children, pilgrims and farmers are presented alongside views of ancient temples, busy city streets, dramatic mountain landscapes and quiet scenes of daily life - people are seen fishing, playing, working and praying. The images are presented in an uninterrupted sequence for maximum impact, and all the photographs are shown at either full-page size or as double-page spreads. The extended picture captions are at the back of the book, accompanied by colour thumbnail images for quick identification.

Abstract

Maciej Dakowicz spent five years photographing the nighttime revelries that take place in Cardiff every weekend. Focused around a few pedestrianized streets in the city centre, Dakowicz’s images capture nightlife fuelled by alcohol and emotions.The arc of an evening’s entertainment is brilliantly captured in these candid photographs, which reveal fun, hilarity and bawdiness as well as fighting and drunken exhaustion. There are stag nights and hen parties, men dressed as superheroes and women dressed as Playboy bunnies, mountains of discarded chip wrappers, arrests by the police – and lots and lots of posing for the camera.Dakowicz’s images, at times shocking or upsetting, at others affectionate and wry, form an important documentary photobook of British urban life in the early part of the 21st century.

Abstract

Leigh Ledare (geboren in 1976, Seattle, USA) gebruikt afwisselend fotografie, archiefmateriaal en tekst om het menselijk handelen, maatschappelijke relaties, taboes en de fotografie zelf in vraag te stellen. Formeel getraind in de fotografie, ontwikkelde Ledare in een relatief korte tijd een opmerkelijk coherent oeuvre dat even complex en bijtend intelligent is als dat het, soms opzettelijk, provocerend is. Zijn tot op heden meest subversieve fotoserie is deze van zijn ouder wordende moeder, die zichzelf ontwapenend en expliciet blootgeeft voor de camera van haar zoon en voor het onbekende publiek dat de beelden zou kunnen zien. Deze voor de kunstenaar fundamentele serie is zeer belangrijk voor het begrijpen van een groot deel van zijn praktijk, waarin de schijnbare transgressiviteit van zijn oeuvre in feite een code is voor een bredere reflectie over de werking van de fotografie. Een recentere serie omvat vergelijkende collages van memorabilia, gevonden beelden en foto's van de ex-vrouw van de kunstenaar die zowel door Ledare zelf als door haar nieuwe echtgenoot werden genomen. Beiden trokken foto's van hun gedeelde onderwerp, soms in een tedere, soms in een grafische pose. Leigh Ledare, et al. is zijn eerste grote solo tentoonstelling en legt de nadruk op de centrale rol die anderen - moeder, familieleden, ex-geliefde, verzamelaars, anonieme klanten, etc. - spelen in zijn werk. Het omvat bijna al zijn fotografische series tot nu toe, net als videowerken, teksten en een aantal nooit eerder vertoonde werken.

Abstract

Saul Leiter has only in recent years finally received his due as one of the great pioneers of color photography. This can perhaps be attributed to the fact that Leiter saw himself for a long time mainly as a painter. After coming to New York in 1946, he exhibited alongside Abstract Expressionists like Willem de Kooning before beginning in the late 1940s to take black and white photographs. Like Robert Frank or Helen Levitt, he found his motifs on the streets of New York, but at the same time was visibly interested in abstraction. Edward Steichen was one of the first to discover Leiter’s photography, showing it in the 1950s in two important exhibitions at New York’s MoMA. Back then color photography was regarded as »low art,« fit only for advertising. Leiter accordingly worked primarily as a fashion photographer, for magazines such as Esquire and Harper’s Bazaar. Nearly 40 years would go by before his extraordinary artistic color photography was rediscovered. This book, published to mark the first major retrospective of Leiter’s work anywhere in the world, features for the first time, in addition to his early black and white and color images, his fashion photography, the overpainted nudes, as well as his paintings and sketchbooks.

Abstract

Moments before the Flood is bij uitstek een fotografie van het wachten. Carl De Keyzer portretteert de unheimlichkeit van het onbestemde en het onzekere, met een meesterlijk oog voor de schoonheid ervan en met een weergaloos gevoel voor ironie. Het werd een visueel monument, dat op indringende wijze vastlegt hoe Europa omgaat met de dreiging van de klimaatopwarming.
