Abstract

This book focuses on the abundance of photography that has been created on street corners around the globe; it includes classic documentary street photography, as well as images of urban landscapes, staged performances, and sculptures. In so doing, this compelling reference book locates the meeting point between street photography and atlas, between artists and their personal understanding of our environment, not via a cartographic birds-eye view but through a more intimate, human-centred perspective. From New York to New Delhi, Beijing to Brighton, Havana to Hamburg, and Sydney to Seoul, this magnificently illustrated book presents an international cast of more than one hundred established and emerging contemporary photographers. More people than ever before live in the city, which critic Susan Sontag once described as ‘a landscape of voluptuous extremes’. The energetic, ever-changing pace of the metropolis has long lured photographers to capture, often candidly, the chaos, character and incident of modern urban life. Its theatre of the everyday and the ordinary continues to inspire extraordinary art and holds up a mirror to our public world.Including classic documentary street photography as well as images of urban landscapes, portraits and staged performances, The World Atlas of Street Photography focuses on an abundance of photography that has been created on street corners around the globe including: Daido Moriyama as he roams the cramped, winding back alleys of TokyoJoel Meyerowitz’s extraordinary archive of New York’s Ground Zero in the days after the 9/11 attacksAlexey Titarenko as he uses long exposures to recast his home town of St Petersburg as a haunting city of shadowsRemarkable beach scenes of Rio de Janeiro with Julio BittencourtKaty Grannan's portraits of the hustlers and strutters on Hollywood BoulevardNew York’s hip-hop culture seen by Nikki S. Lee, artfully disguised to expose preconceptions on race and identity.

Abstract

Met Solstices creëert Lara Gasparotto haar meest persoonlijke boek. Geen tekst, alleen maar foto’s. Beelden die verschijnen, intiem, én heel dicht bij de kunstenaar. Lara wandelt in haar eigen biotoop en capteert op haar unieke wijze hoe haar generatie beweegt en wat ze voelt. Van Brussel naar Oekraïne, van Congo naar Luik. Van winter naar lente, van herfst naar zomer. In één beweging voeren de poëtische beelden je mee op een trip, actueler dan ooit. Even indringend als Nan Goldin of Elinor Carucci, deelt Lara Gasparotto haar leven met haar generatie en de kunstliefhebber, zonder ooit maar één keer het gevoel te hebben dat je ‘voyeur’ bent.

Abstract

Swedish artist JH Engström is an inveterate bookmaker. The source for his photographs is nevertheless strongly autobiographical, as well as vividly metaphorical; a reemphasis of the artist’s belief in photography’s potential as visual poetry. The sequencing is highly charged with contrasts: black-and-white images mix with color; the gentle beauty of coastal rocks clashes with a flash-lit image of the bright, blood-red placentas from the birth of his twins. The book leaves it to the viewer to map his or her own network of meaning from image to image, page to page. Tout Va Bien is designed and produced by Patric Leo. JH Engström was awarded the Leica Oskar Barnack Award 2015 for this body of work. - See more at: http://aperture.org/shop/tout-va-bien-book#sthash.

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

In his latest book, photographer Bruno Augsburger offers an ode to the outdoors and leisure, with spectacular scenery, crystal clear waters, brisk winds, cold hands, wet feet, a crackling fire, and the joy of the catch. This disarmingly nostalgic visual contemplation about fishing has been compiled from images the photographer shot during various fishing outings over the course of the last two decades. Gushing cascades, snowy mountains, quiet ponds, and wide, open landscapes form the backdrop for a mix of childhood memories and youthful exuberance, as well as wonderful images of salmon swimming upstream, bears on the hunt, and nature’s bounty.

Abstract

Het langverwachte nieuwe boek van Magnum-fotografe Bieke Depoorter. In 2011, bij het begin van de Arabische Lente, reist Magnum-fotografe Bieke Depoorter voor het eerst naar Egypte. Ze laat haar weg bepalen door een aaneenschakeling van toevallige ontmoetingen. Elke dag gaat ze op zoek naar een plaats om te overnachten. Zo krijgt ze toegang tot wat er zich in de schaduw van de revolutie afspeelt.In tijden van onrust en achterdocht probeert ze het vertrouwen te winnen. Depoorter laat de politiek en het nieuws van de dag voor wat ze zijn en gaat op zoek naar de intieme momenten, die vaak binnenshuis blijven. Vrouwen, hun mannen en kinderen delen hun dagelijkse leven, eten en zelfs hun bed met haar. Deze wederzijdse uitwisseling is voor Depoorter van groot belang. Terwijl ze altijd op zoek gaat naar verbinding, wordt ze zich steeds bewuster van haar eigen positie als buitenstaander, zowel cultureel als in haar rol als fotografe.

Abstract

Dans la période précédant les élections du 3 novembre 2020 aux États-Unis, Teju Cole a commencé à photographier son comptoir de cuisine à Cambridge, dans le Massachusetts. Travaillant dans la tradition de la nature morte de Chardin, Cézanne et des maîtres hollandais, ainsi que de photographes contemporains tels que Laura Letinsky et Jan Groover, il a photographié chaque jour pendant cinq semaines. Contrairement à ces illustres ancêtres, Cole a laissé ses arrangements entièrement au hasard, "les bols et les assiettes se déplaçant dans leurs constellations imprévisibles". Ce qui émerge est un portrait surprenant, à travers le temps, d'un comptoir de cuisine dans une maison à une époque de bouleversements sociaux, culturels et politiques. A côté des photographies se trouve un long essai écrit, aussi vaste dans ses préoccupations - la faim, le jeûne, le deuil, l'esclavage, l'intimité, la peinture, la poésie et l'histoire de la photographie - que les photographies sont délimitées dans les leurs. Le texte et les séquences photographiques sont entrecoupés d'un livre de cuisine anonyme manuscrit du XVIIIe siècle de Cambridge. Golden Apple of the Sun est une œuvre lumineuse et humaine, présentée avec l'audace formelle et l'intelligence oblique que nous attendons de Teju Cole. In the period leading up to the November 3, 2020 elections in the United States, Teju Cole began to photograph his kitchen counter in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Working in the still life tradition of Chardin, Cezanne, and the Dutch masters, as well as such contemporary photographers as Laura Letinsky and Jan Groover, he photographed every day over the course of five weeks. Unlike those illustrious forbears, Cole left his arrangements entirely to chance, ?the bowls and plates moving in their unpredictable constellations.? What emerges is a surprising portrait, across time, of one kitchen counter in one home at a time of social, cultural, and political upheaval. Alongside the photographs is a long written essay, as wide-ranging in its concerns?hunger, fasting, mourning, slavery, intimacy, painting, poetry and the history of photography?as the photographs are delimited in theirs. The text and photographic sequences are interspersed with an anonymous handwritten eighteenth century cookbook from Cambridge. Golden Apple of the Sun is a luminous and humane work, presented with the formal boldness and oblique intelligence we have come to expect from Teju Cole.
