Résumé:
An introduction to the work of Gabriele Basilico (b.1944), one of the most important European landscape photographers of our time. His work captures the city in its quiet, empty moments, almost as if some disaster had driven away the population – the buildings remain lasting testaments to the society that created them. Basilico has extensively chronicled the lesser-known parts of his own native country as well as travelling widely throughout Northern Europe, bringing his Italian sensibility and melding it with the peculiarities of the Northern landscape.

Résumé:
Né en 1964 à Munich, Thomas Demand occupe une place tout à fait à part dans la photographie allemande. D´abord sculpteur travaillant sur le papier, il a appris la photographie pour enregistrer ses créations éphémères, avant que l´appareil photographique ne vienne occuper la place centrale de son processus créatif. Avec minutie, il crée devant l´objectif des maquettes de papier évoquant les architectures du XXe siècle. Cet ouvrage, réalisé à l´occasion de l´exposition Thomas Demand organisée par la Fondation Cartier en novembre 2000, rassemble ses créations réalisées entre 1994 et 2000. Les maquettes patiemment reconstruites dans l´atelier puis capturées par l´objectif constituent une réflexion inédite sur le statut de l´image et du simulacre.

Résumé:
Known for his long-exposure photographic series of empty movie theaters and drive-ins, seascapes, museum dioramas, and waxworks, Hiroshi Sugimoto has been turning his camera on international icons of 20th-century architecture since 1997. His deliberately blurred and seemingly timeless photographs depict structures as diverse as the Empire State Building, Le Corbusier's Chapel de Nôtre Dame du Haut, and Tadao Ando's Church of Light in Osaka. The resulting black-and-white photographs, shot distinctly out of focus and from unusual angles, are not attempts at documentation but rather evocation--meant to isolate the buildings from their contexts, allowing them to exist as dreamlike, uninhabited ideals. Among the other buildings represented in the series are Philippe Starck's Asahi Breweries, Fumihiko Maki's Fujisawa Municipal Gymnasium, the United Nations Building, the Chrysler Building, Giuseppi Terragni's Santelia Monument Como, the World Trade Center, Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building, Antonio Gaudí's Casa Batlló II, the 1922 Schindler House, and buildings by Frank Gehry, Frank Lloyd Wright, and many others in Europe, North America, and Asia.
