Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. As a material for their photo collages and installations the French artists Elise Mazac and Robert Drowilal, known as the art duo Mazaccio & Drowilal, use popular images of contemporary culture that are intentionally torn from their usual context. With the help of diverse techniques, deliberately bright colors, and irony, the artists transform these images and question the conventional principles of artistic photography. The book Paparazzi is putting together celebrities photographs stolen by paparazzi rearranging in the book form through different collage, working on typography, colours and shapes accompanied by explicit titles The Beach, Bike Riding, Surfing. By juxtaposing heterogeneous and often contradictory shots and blurring the boundaries between natural and artificial, Mazaccio & Drowilal provoke the viewer, who is doomed to balance on the verge of disgust and pleasure when confronted by the authors extraordinary artistic experiment.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Other People by David Horvitz is a series of digital photographs gathered online using facial recognition software. By searching with images of his own face, Horvitz uncovered mismatches: photographs of strangers mistakenly identified by artificial intelligence as him. These images raise questions about the ethical gray areas of image databases, often monetized without the knowledge or consent of those depicted. Drawing inspiration from research on training materials used by East German border guards at Checkpoint Charlie, preserved in the Wende Museum's collection, this project explores the implications of technology and identity in the age of artificial intelligence.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. BETTER FOOD FOR OUR FIGHTING MEN contains a selection of images, produced mostly in the 1970s and 1980s, from the archives of the U. S. Armys Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center near Boston, Massachusetts. The center is still operational today, and employs both military personnel and civilian contractors in its mission to improve the daily livesand dietsof American soldiers.For the worlds most formidable army, feeding the troops is fraught with logistical, psychological and food safety challenges. Bacteria is an enemy; supply chains are vital, intricate delivery systems. The goal is to provide sustenance and boost morale across the full range of terrain and troop configurations, from mess halls for the officers and selfservice buffets for the rank-and-file to battlefield canteens and survival rations for commandos behind enemy lines.Solving this logistical puzzle is like trying to stuff a square peg into a round hole: once you have devised ways to optimize the daily nutritional requirements of the bodies in question, you need to work out the best solutions for preserving and transporting the food, and still guarantee a minimum level of flavor to keep the soldiers happy.A glossary with 24 entries explains some of the acronyms used in the image captions, describes the staples of a typical soldiers diet and traces the new technologies that enabled the food industry to manufacture and supply those rations.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. When the forest of Notre-Dame caught fire, Lola Raban-Oliva and Jean Rene Etienne were at home, just two kilometers away. Each had their own camera, their own zoom lens. From their window, it became almost possible to imagine the perspective of birds. It was no longer Notre-Dame burning, nor even a cathedral. Not a fire, but a vast disruption of the aerial space. A thick, blazing, chaotic convective column rose above the heart of Paris.Les oiseaux brings together 97 screenshots taken from the footage they captured that evening.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. On the 18th of April 2013, Anouk Kruithof and two assistants went to Wall Street in New York City and built a temporary installation of 14 framed prints of different sizes on the edge of the citys pavement. The prints looked like pixelated monochromes, but were in fact illustrations blown up to a maximum size (3200% in Photoshop) of images found by using Google, searching the word stress. Anouk Kruithof asked pedestrians to look at the installation and then had conversations about the pixelated monochromes, the meaning of this project and the potential interpretations of the work. Kruithof asked the people involved if they would like to buy a print, both engaging a commercial gesture and condemning the scarcity of the city dwellers encounterings.She sold 8 of the 14 prints bought by 7 participants when the days rain warded off further efforts. Kruithof is not allowed to conduct monetary transactions, so that once a participant told her a price for the print, she actually gave it away for free, thus creating an imaginary sale.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. "59 Positions" is a 20-minute video, filmed in 1992 using a stationary camera in an empty, unadorned room with a concrete floor, consisting of fragments of actions each lasting just a few seconds, in which we glimpse the artist Erwin Wurm and his friends bundled up in sweaters, pants and shirts, seemingly oblivious to the usual purposes of these articles of clothing. Their bodies are contorted into ridiculous poses, under the influence of a strange choreography made up of motionless objects that tremble almost imperceptibly. Wurm thus aims to explore whether a physical action can become a sculpture and if so, at what point the transition takes place. By making use of looped sequences without movement, his aim was to find out if and when this transformation might happen. Wurm was so impressed by the visual force and immediacy of these curious anthropomorphic forms that he decided to create a series of colour photographs based on this video, thus reconnecting with this medium in which he had often worked in the 1980s. After "Self-Portrait as 47 Pickles", "59 Positions" is the second title in the series of artists books by Erwin Wurm published by RVB Books.

Paperback. Condición: new. Beyter, David De Ilustrador. Paperback. The book Damaged INC. is the result of a long-term project that mixes screen shots, photographs and sculptures. During several years, from the race tracks to the parking lots or farm fields showing - David Beyter 's artist followed the Big Bangers in the north of Europe. They describe themselves as a car crashing as a lifestyle. They do it for the sake of it and their motto lies in the fact of destroying cars using violent shocks, into radical compressions. The car wrecks resulting from this aesthetic of destruction are called "self-sculptures".For three years, David de Beyter followed the "Big Bangers", a community in northern Europe that car crash as a way of life. On circuits, car parks, bare fields, the artist has captured the essence of a practice that shapes the landscapes of his childhood. This long-term project combining films, photographs and sculptures will result in 3 editions (2 books and a vinyl). Damaged Inc. is the first, with its black-and-white print, its two-page collages that fragment the cars, and the slogans that illustrate the philosophy of the followers of this practice, is directly inspired by the aesthetics of the original fanzines created by the "Big Bangers".

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In this new publication, Tiane Doan na Champassak works on his own collection of Parkett, a seminal art magazine issued between 1984 and 2017. His subtle approach consists of isolating a considerable amount of double-spreads displaying gallery advertisements, all from the first five years of Parkett. Coherent in style and form, these ads are works of art in their own right, reflecting the supremacy of text over image in the conceptual production of those years. In their simple yet sophisticated appeal, they trace an alternative history of postmodern and contemporary art, marking the recurrence of certain artists such as Marcel Broodthaers, Michael Heizer, Louise Bourgeois, Ed Ruscha, Richard Prince, Anish Kapoor, and Cindy Sherman, among many others in the galleries landscape of the 1980s.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. After a year of research in the archives of the Vasarely Foundation in Aix en Provence, Oran Hoffmann has appropriated the original materials of the large-scale works of the artist Victor Vasarely. He insulated the ceramic tiles, the aluminum pieces and the sheets of paper and then photographed each of these elements separately. Thus he frees himself from the spectacular dimension of the works of Vasarely, we unveil behind the scenes and leads us to the genesis of their creation. With his minimal photographic compositions Oran Hoffmann explores the world of Vasarely and also develops a contemporary interpretation.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Jones, Gabriel Ilustrador. Hardcover. Since 2008, Gabriel Jones has played with the codes of voyeurism in his photographs never interacting directly with his subjects, who are always unaware theyre being observed.The images in his series Splashes are characteristic of this approach: here, the focus is always on the backdrop. Over the course of several evenings, the photographer invited friends to pretend to pose for him which allowed him to steal the situations taking place behind them. The photographs, taken with early cellphone cameras, have, for the most part, been reframed, so as to show only the situations and compositions that originally interested the artist. This tight cropping resulted in highly pixelated images, which the artist sometimes retouched to further accentuate the strangeness of the scenes he collects.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In this subtle sequel of his rearrangement of the Thai adult magazine Siams Guy, Tiane Doan na Champassak revisits a number of issues from the iconic magazine Paris-Hollywood, launched in France in the 1940s. In the middleof its pages, the original magazine had the particularity of offering pin-ups in relief or on tracing paper that the readers could undress. By using his extensive arsenal of postmodern tools, Doan na Champassak cannibalizes the original content with his own photographs, creating a hypnotic dialogue between then and now, recto-verso, dressed-undressed, Bangkok-Paris, Paris-Hollywood. In addition, the alternation between censoring the genitalia and hiding the identity adds a thought-provoking rhythm to the whole.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Renowned for its expert restoration of iconic properties, the luxury hotel group Belmond is now collaborating with a select group of photographers to create a series of photographic works that respond to the unique character of each hotel and its surroundings.Roussets irreverent approach made him the perfect choice to showcase the extraordinary stories that lie behind Le Manoir aux QuatSaisons, a hotel in Oxfordshire, England. Roussets images of this 15th-century manor house were inspired by two distinct sources. Firstly, he drew on his own imagination of the luxurious lifestyle of the English aristocracy. Secondly, he was influenced by the unreal, fantastical aspect of the countryside lifestyle as depicted in old British films. By placing ordinary objects and figures in bizarre, dreamlike contexts, he disrupts the viewers sense of reality, prompting them to reflect on what they are seeing. His fairytale images are not simply a showcase for the amenities and aesthetics of the hotel; they tell a story, creating an intriguing visual narrative that encourages viewers to project themselves into these exquisite settings.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In a context of contemporary warfare, drones are increasingly used as tools and machines for control, surveillance, and repression, becoming more and more technologically sophisticated. Through a selection of images collected from various channels, active in most modern conflicts (Syria, Libya, Mali, Central Africa and Ukraine), the book questions the ways war is represented. Where journalistic images are often framed, if not suppressed, by the belligerents and tend to lose relevance, they are gradually being replaced by these machine-produced images. The book brings together documentary images on which the author intervenes only minimally. It is not question of creation here but more on how representing reality.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Gone Fishing tells the modern tale, through the form of a fictional correspondence, of a young man who prefers to go on holidays with his mates rather than bow to his new responsibilities as a father. As the letters progress, Thomas Mailaender paints the unflattering portrait of an adolescent, Ulysses, more inspired by beer, big-game fishing and table-tennis than by the joys of fatherhood. Each of the nineteen letters is illustrated by a portrait of the young father carrying out an appallingly banal exploit that is supposed to excuse his absence. These images are photomontages the artist has made from amateur photos he collected on the internet.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Le Crepuscule des lieux presents 94 photographs by Letizia Le Fur, taken in abandoned houses and chateaux still marked by human presence. Her tightly framed compositions fragment interiors to reveal subtle, quietly beautiful details. Lines intersect, patterns overlap, and volumes flatten under the flash, creating a sense of gentle strangeness, reinforced by her meticulous use of color.The books design mirrors this vision. Using Japanese binding, each photograph is shown in full, preceded and/or followed by a fragment of another image. This layout creates a distinctive visual rhythm, where images echo, connect, and respond to one another.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The British visual artist Steve Harries explores the force and fragility of our environment. In his book Octopus, he turns his attention more specifically to mountain landscapes and their glaciers. Over the last ten years, Harries has produced a corpus of photographs of mountains around the world, inspired in particular by the geological processes behind their formation and their morphological features. His experience with still life photography has also inspired him to hone in on certain geological details. Recently, his discovery of Marianne Moores poem An Octopus (1924) changed how he views his own photographs, prompting him to organize them differently. He has therefore put together a more freely composed sequence, emulating Moores approach by overlaying images created in differing ways and instilling a bold formal dialogue that encourages a new appreciation of mountain landscapes.

Paris Paris Paris follows on from the seriesthat made her famous. After studying several destinations, the artist turned her attention to one of the most photographed cities, and found numeroussites and monuments that feed an uninterrupted flow of images. The Swiss artist transforms the raw material she works with: standardized snapshots of hyper-frequented places that feed social networks. Her images, which reveal nothing of the considerable work involved in their creation (archive research, crowdsourcing and collage), question our collective memory and tourist behavior. Why do we always take and share the same images? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

The artist manipulated each photograph and worked on its materiality to get more expressive images. These portraits become a vector of emotion. Each picture is then submitted to the Microsoft Cognitive Emotion API challenging the accuracy of these systems. The Emotion API only recognises Happiness with certitude.
