Uri Gershuni - The Blue HourThe Green Box 2014 ISBN 9783941644724 Acqn 24111Hb 17x23cm 260pp 255ills 31.95

"In the blue hour, Uri Gershuni wanders through the English village of Lacock, in the rural countyof Wiltshire, which was home in the nineteenth century to the inventor of photography WilliamHenry Fox Talbot, a countryside gentleman and pioneer of photography. []Gershunis trip to the village is not a first trip, nor indeed is it properly described as a trip. First,this is not Gershunis first visit to Lacock, but a return visit. He first visited the village three yearsago in search of the origins of photography. This time Uri Gershuni finds a mode of movement inhis non-movement, and this possibility, it turns out, opens up before him when he sits facing thecomputer screen, through which he may once again visit the village, at least virtually. []Google Maps: a single stroke of the keyboard produces a map of the village; drag Pegman overfrom the left-hand corner into the map, and youre there, in Street View, on the road leading intothe village, tailing a speeding white car; then the road clears, someone is running by the side ofthe road, there are tall trees, you pass the runner, you can look up at the tree tops[]" Excerptsfrom Hagi Kenaan's text, which accompanies the work.

The Blue Hourdescribes a journey in 255 images not only through Talbots village, but also intothe depths and layers of photographic language. The images taken from Google Street View,turned black&white, are arranged neatly one image per page. This classical display creates acontrast to the photographies which exhibit all traces of their technical creation and contributes tothe books ageless look-and-feel.

Julian Charriere PolygonThe Green Box 2014 ISBN 9783941644755 Acqn 24390Hb 23x34cm 80pp 36ills 24

Polygonis a series of photographs shot at the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site in Kazakhstan. Thephotographs are made on analogue medium format film, and exposed to radiation before theirdevelopment. Thus they both depict the site of nuclear radiation and bear the actual trace ofradioactivity's effect. Charrires journey to the Polygon was inspired by J.G. Ballards short storyThe Terminal Beach. It oscillates between art, science and fiction and brings us to one of themost remote and inaccessible spheres to the beginning of the nuclear age. It is a mystic place

a nuclear space antithetic to human life, and showing the dystopic aesthetics of a futurearchaeology.This publication accompanies the exhibition 'Somewhere Julian Charrire' at Rudolf-Scharpf-Gallery, the project gallery of the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum. The exhibition is sponsored by theSwiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia. Julian Charrire: Polygonis edited by the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum and contains an introduction by Ren Zechlin and a contribution by Jana Franze.

Jacques-Andre Boiffard - La Parenthese SurrealisteEditions Xavier Barral 2014 ISBN 9782365110532 Acqn 24137Hb 21x30cm 160pp 124ills 18col 38Text in French

From his illustrations for Nadjaby Andr Breton, via Le Gros Orteilor Les Mouchespublished inthe Documentsmagazine by Georges Bataille, photographer Jacques-Andr Boiffard (1902-

1961) presented some of the most emblematic images of Surrealist iconography. One of the veryfirst members of the movement, Boiffard was a discrete but active witness of the Surrealistadventure. For instance, he wrote the preface to the first issue of La Rvolution Surraliste,alongside Paul Eluard and Roger Vitrac. Despite the fact that he only affirmed himself as aphotographer after over four years spent as Man Rays assistant, Boiffard sought toamalgamate subversion, strangeness, and onirism within his own practice of the medium, alwayswith an uncompromising attitude and an obsession for analysis.

Stephanie Kloss WeltausstellungSternberg Press 2014 ISBN 9783956791253 Acqn 24670Pb 17x24cm 152pp 103ills 74col 19.95

Contributions by Oliver Koerner von Gustorf, Sebastian Preuss, Antonia Blau, Matthias Harder,Thibaut de Ruyter, Joachim Blank.

This world fair begins with a pyramidnot in Egypt, but in Karlsruhe, Germany. Stephanie Klosssphotographs capture the mythos and utopianism of architecture in locations as diverse as Athens,Berlin, the United States, and Japan. Yet it is the commonality of modernist architectural formrather than the peculiarities of place, nation, or time that attracts her lens. In Weltausstellung,visual anonymity is the main eventbut not the whole story.Embedded in Klosss photographs, as the absorbing essays in this catalogue reveal, are invisible

histories of human enterprise, idealism, and trauma. The Israeli desert belies the ruins, alandlocked vessel, as a symbolmoral and otherwiseof Sodom and Gomorrah; an idyllicCanary Island bears scant traces of Otto Muehls Actionist commune, or of his sexual crimesagainst children; an empty dining hall stands in place of forty kibbutzim in Israel, testament to aonce thriving political utopia; and the mute currents of the Mississippi Delta, first devastated byHurricane Katrina and then the BP oil spill, keep their silence to the deep waters. Klossscatalogue as journey speaks a collective photographic language that warns against the easeand perilof architectural and natural forgetfulness.
