Résumé:
Au tournant XXe siècle, trois frères, dessinateurs sur étoffe de profession, décident de se lancer dans l'aventure photographique en créant un atelier familial. Epaulés par leurs mère, sœur et épouse, Jules, Louis et Henri Séeberger s'attachent à documenter leur époque, dans le cadre des concours lancés par la ville de Paris puis pour le compte d'éditeurs de cartes postales, avant de se spécialiser dans les reportages d'élégance. Reconnaissable par une subtile harmonie de composition, l'œuvre des Séeberger se distingue de la production courante de cartes postales par une parfaite maîtrise technique et une sensibilité particulière aux personnages, considérés comme des documents vivants. De l'ouvrier, de l'artisan, du bourgeois, du commerçant ou de l'aristocrate, les Séeberger semblent dire "voici ce que nous avons vu", sans critique ni jugement. Modeste et discrète, leur vision n'en reste pas moins un témoignage émouvant et troublant de la société d'avant 1914.

Résumé:
Over a creative career of more than thirty years, Victor Burgin has established an international reputation as an artist and theoretician in the field of both moving and stationary images. Burgin became known in the late 1960s as one of the founders of Conceptual art. During the 1970s, his works consisted mainly of large-format photographic sequences that often involved text. At the beginning of the 1990s he turned to digital video art. This volume documents the many perspectives of the British artist’s reflections on Pompeii. Burgin created this series of images in 2006, while examining a nineteenth-century photograph of Pompeii from the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal.

Résumé:
Percer le mystère de la culture japonaise et plus particulièrement l’essence de son esthétisme, telle était la gageure que je m’étais fixée dans ce travail photographique que j’ai réalisé en 2003 grâce à une résidence Villa Médicis Hors les Murs. Comme dans une certaine réalité, j’ai d’abord créé un panel d’opinion composé d’une centaine de représentants du Japon à Paris, une sorte «d’élite japonaise» en France censée incarner l’âme de son pays. De Kenzo aux présidents de Suzuki, de Toshiba ou de la Maison de la culture du Japon, que j’ai rencontrés un par un, j’ai défini une liste de sites et concepts à mettre en image. Ce travail propose donc à travers une chasse aux trésors esthétiques, passée par le filtre des techniques d’études marketing, d’étudier une question éminemment romantique. En somme, il s’agit d’une réactualisation du voyage photographique du XIXe siècle mais emprunt des réalités sociales et économiques actuelles.

Résumé:
In "Unfamiliar journeys", photographer Alan McKernan takes us on an unconventional excursion through his home town, the ever-changing city of Liverpool. McKernan has spent the past ten years documenting the city’s evolution, and these photographs reflect both the grandeur and decay of this modern urban landscape. As well as Liverpool’s architectural landmarks, "Unfamiliar journeys" captures deserted warehouses, boarded-up butchers’ shops, the cathedral glimpsed between shabby terraces. Signs of Liverpool’s recent economic boom – billboards, towering high-rises, skeletal construction cranes – also feature. It takes a moment to realize that there are no people in McKernan’s vision of the city. The unusual viewpoints and stark pattern of cast shadows caught on black and white silver-based film enhances this feeling of eerie enchantment.

Louise Lawler : twice untitled and other pictures (looking back)

Résumé:
For the past two decades Louise Lawler has been taking photographs of art in situ, from small black-and-white images of art in people's homes to large format glossy color pictures of art in museums and in auction houses. In addition she has produced a variety of objects-paperweights, etched drinking glasses, matchbooks, gallery announcements-all of which describe how art comes to accrue value as it moves through various systems of exchange. Lawler's oeuvre was essential in creating an expanded field for photography, it was crucial in postmodern debates over theories of representation, it remains indelible within the field of institutional critique, and it has always been trenchant in its sustained commitment to a feminist vision of art, art history, and contemporary art practice. But Lawler is also an old-fashioned "artist's artist," long overdue for the kind of serious reconsideration and recognition that this volume affords. The very self-effacing nature of Lawler's practice, however, her continual suspicion about notions of authorship-and her sly disregard for museological conventions-have meant that she has resisted precisely the usual mid-career retrospective. "Twice untitled and other pictures", published in conjunction with Lawler's first major museum exhibition in the United States, organized by the Wexner Center for the Arts, eats away at the standard museum practices of chronology, linear development, and the presentation of masterpieces, opting instead to explore such themes and undercurrents in Lawler's practice as her relationship to sculpture, her long history of collaborative projects, her production of such ephemera as napkins, matchbooks, and announcement cards, and the steady political dimension of her work-which culminated most recently in works that are deeply critical of the American invasion of Iraq. With essays by art historian and political theorist Rosalyn Deutsche and curators Ann Goldstein and Helen Molesworth.

Résumé:
Bernd and Hilla Becher's lifetime project of documenting the industrial landscape of our time secures their position in the canon of postwar photographers. Their work - at once conceptual art, typological study, and topological documentation - has influenced German photographers of a younger generation, including Thomas Struth, Thomas Demand, Candida Höfer, Thomas Ruff, and Andreas Gursky. This compelling, exhaustively documented biography describes the Bechers' life and work and offers a critical assessment of their place in the history of photography. Becher scholar Susanne Lange, granted access to the photographers' archives and quoting extensively from interviews with them, writes the first sustained analysis and biography of the Bechers' extraordinary partnership. She discusses, among other topics, both the functionalist and aesthetic dimensions of the Bechers' subject matter, their typologizing (which she finds reminiscent of nineteenth-century naturalists' classificatory schemes), and the anonymous industrial building style favored by German architects. She argues that industrial building types impose themselves on our consciousness as the cathedral did on that of the Middle Ages, and that the Bechers' photographs -which seem at first glance only to record a vanishing landscape - serve to examine this shaping of our perceptions. Their work provides us with a rare opportunity to see how we see.
