Download or read book Adriana Lestido Metro polis written by and published by Rm. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evocatively somber images of a bygone Buenos Aires This volume gathers black-and-white pictures of Buenos Aires taken by the celebrated Argentine photographer Adriana Lestido (born 1955) between 1988 and 1999. Her photographs chronicle the expansion of the city, documenting neighborhoods such as Constitución, La Boca, Villa Lugano, Pompella and a today-unrecognizable Puerto Madero. A total of 53 images, originally taken for a weekly column in the newspaper Página/12, are included here. The inspiration for this book came in 2018 when filmmaker Fernando Spiner asked Lestido for permission to use photographs that had not appeared in any books or exhibitions for a film taking place in early-'90s Buenos Aires. From street dogs to protests to workers on their daily commutes, Lestido's photography paints a poignant portrait of a socially fragmented Buenos Aires with anonymous and solitary figures who wander, work or live in the big city.
Download or read book Frida by Ishiuchi written by Miyako Ishiuchi and published by Bright Sparks. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frida by Ishiuchi is the first photographic documentation ever published of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's personal attire and belongings, as portrayed by Japanese artist Miyako Ishiuchi. The victim of a nearly fatal bus accident as a young woman, Kahlo used fashion to channel her resulting physical difficulties into courageous statements of heritage, strength and beauty. Also focusing on the ways in which Kahlo used her iconic style to project her feminist and socialist beliefs, Ishiuchi's color photographs transform Kahlo's dresses, corsets, shoes, gloves, jewelry and other accessories into objects freighted with personal struggle, cultural awareness and sartorial inventiveness. Following Ishiuchi's acclaimed series Mothers and Hiroshima, this collection provides a special look at a very intimate dimension of Frida Kahlo's universe.
Download or read book Antoine D Agata written by and published by RM Verlag. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 30 years, French photographer Antoine d'Agata (born 1961) has undertaken various journeys in Mexico. As a photographer, d'Agata tends to focus on societal taboos like addiction and prostitution, and embroil himself directly in these darker parts of human nature. "It's not how photographers look at the world that is important," d'Agata has remarked. "It's their intimate relationship with it." This book is a record of the photographer's Mexican travels, a tense, immobile diary of his experiences in the devastated landscapes of an increasingly volatile criminal society. Still images, cinematographic narratives and texts make up a personal diary that, through intimate, sexual and narcotic encounters, constructs an increasingly sickening reality. Mirroring his journey as he wanders through a lonely and marginal world, d'Agata's photographic language seems to fracture and degenerate page by page. As a whole, Mexico presents a complex, difficult portrait of a period that has been constructed as a time of lawlessness and criminality in Mexican society. D'Agata structures the book around six photographic movements, relating directly to different times in the contemporary history of Mexico. These chapters suggest ruptures in the continuity of history, even as D'Agata creates a narrative of descent into pain and savagery.
Download or read book Masao Yamamoto Small Things in Silence written by and published by Rm. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of Yamamoto's much-loved photographic homage to the precarious, the delicate and the humble, with new images and a redesigned cover Japanese photographer Masao Yamamoto trained as an oil painter before discovering that photography was the ideal medium for the theme that most interested him--the ability of the image to evoke memories. Small Things in Silence surveys the 20-year career of one of Japan's most important photographers. Yamamoto's portraits, landscapes and still lifes are made into small, delicate prints, which the photographer frequently overpaints, dyes or steeps in tea. Edited and sequenced by Yamamoto himself, this volume includes images from each of the photographer's major projects--Box of Ku, Nakazora, Kawa and Shizuka--as well as installation shots of some of Yamamoto's original photographic installations, and, in this new edition, seven new images and a new cover. In the words of Yamamoto himself: I try to capture moments that no one sees and make a photo from them. When I see them in print, a new story begins. Masao Yamamoto (born 1957) lives and works in Japan. He has published numerous books, including a previous edition of Small Things in Silence (RM/Seigensha, 2015) and Tori (Radius Books, 2016). His work is held in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the International Center of Photography, New York, and others.
Download or read book Pina written by Donata Wenders and published by Schirmer Mosel. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pina Bausch (1940-2009) became a cult figure in the international dance scene with her "Tanztheater Wuppertal" which she both founded and directed. In her choreographies she combined classical dance with elements of performance art, mime, acrobatics, sports, acting, and song, thereby creating a new art genre that both suited the spirit of the times and, by the artistic radicality of her productions, set the parameters for the future of dance theater. Wim Wenders dedicates his remarkable documentary Pina to her oeuvre. The film won the Deutscher Filmpreis 2011 for best documentary and was nominated for the 2012 Oscar for best documentary. Donata Wenders' still camera accompanied the shooting of Wim Wenders' congenial homage to Pina Bausch and her celebrated ensemble. This book offers a unique view of both the film and the stunning oeuvre of revolutionary choreographer Pina Bausch and her legendary dance company.

Download or read book New York in Photobooks written by Horacio Fernández and published by Rm. This book was released on 2016 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York in photobooks gathers and studies a selection of images of the capital of the twentieth century, the most photogenic and most photographed city in history. In these images from the books selected (only a fraction of those in existence), the city of skyscrapers is captured from construction thereof in the 1930s to the destruction of the World Trade Center in 2001, alongside the urban life of the New Yorkers themselves, recorded in a model style of street photography. Many of the books are the work of European and Japanese photographers, who discovered multiple perspectives (human, cultural, social, economic) from which to view the city that shaped the twentieth century. New York in Photobooks is the catalogue of a travelling exhibition curated by Horacio Fernandez, who is also the editor of the book: a collaborative effort in which, in addition to the many images, there are texts by numerous photography scholars. The photographers represented include Berenice Abbott, Nobuyoshi Araki, Cecil Beaton, Mario Bucovich, Roy DeCarava, Bruce Davidson, Raymond De-pardon, Juan Fresan, Bruce Gilden, Gyorgy Lorinczy, Lewis Hine, Evelyn Hofer, Karol Kallay, Andre Kertesz, William Klein Helen Levitt, Danny Lyon, Daido Moriyama, Ugo Mulas, Robert Rauschenberg, Kees Scherer, Aaron Siskind, Weegee, Kojima Yasutaka, Ruiko Yoshida, among others. 350 photographs

Download or read book Stealing the Mona Lisa written by Darian Leader and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2004-09-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in 1911, it was twenty–four hours before anyone knew it was missing. Afterward, thousands of people flocked to see the empty space where it had once hung, many of them having never seen the painting in the first place. In Stealing the Mona Lisa, Darien Leader takes the intriguing story of the theft of the Mona Lisa and the public's reaction to it as a starting point to explore the psychology of looking at visual art. What do we hope to see in paintings, and what do they hide from us? Why should some artists feel compelled to live lives that are more colorful than their works? And why did the police bungle their long investigation into the theft of Leonardo's masterpiece? Leader combines anecdote, observation, and analysis with examples taken from classical and contemporary art to create a surprising and fearless interrogation of what we see in art and what we might hope to find.
