What does migration mean for those, who stay behind?

Louise Amelie's documentary photo series is an artistic exploration of the global phenomenon of migration and its many facets, which are often ignored in European migration politics. Migration has always been an integral part of human experience and will continue to be. Yet in public discourse it is presented as an aberration, while the existence of nation-state borders is hardly ever questioned. On the globe, Kyrgyzstan nestles inconspicuously next to Kazakhstan and China, but on the ground the vastness and heights of the mountains seem endless. In contrast to the natural beauty, prefabricated housing estates spring up in the capital, Bishkek. Here lives a young population that, despite all the adversities of post-Soviet reality, faces the world with great confidence. In a collection of portraying texts and photographs that foreground the individual stories, the book is an expression of solidarity and empathy, and shows that migration can mean both an opportunity as well as the painful loss of a beloved Missing Member.

About the Author:

Magnum Magnum демонструє найкраще з Magnum Photos, відзначаючи бачення, уяву та геніальність своїх фотографів – від визнаних великих 20-го століття до сучасних майстрів і висхідних зірок нашого часу.

З моменту свого заснування в 1947 році Робертом Капою, Анрі Картьє-Брессоном, Джорджем Роджером і Девідом «Чімом» Сеймуром легендарний кооператив «Magnum Photos» потужно описує народи, культури, події та проблеми того часу. Тепер, після свого 75-річчя, Magnum Photos і Thames & Hudson об’єднують зусилля, щоб опублікувати оновлене та розширене видання оригінальної хітової публікації Magnum Magnum (2007), яка раніше була представлена ​​в трьох форматах і продана тиражем понад 200 000 примірників по всьому світу.

Magnum Magnum, організований фотографом, побудований на основі концепції, яка зробила Magnum таким унікальним творчим середовищем; процес співпраці, коли кожен із чотирьох засновників редагував фотографії іншого. Ця книга пробуджує той самий творчий дух, коли кожен фотограф обирає та критикує шість ключових робіт іншого з 87 фотографів агентства разом із коментарем, що пояснює обґрунтування їхнього вибору.

Це нове видання додає 25 фотографів, які приєдналися до Magnum за останні 15 років. З більш ніж 150 новими фотографіями та понад 700 сторінками, ця книга є визначенням оновленої класики.

The official publication celebrating Magnum Photos’ 70th anniversary: a totally fresh and perceptive view of the legendary agency’s history and archive

This landmark book celebrates the 70th anniversary of the world’s greatest photographic agency, Magnum Photos. Offering a fresh and insightful view of the agency’s history and archive, it takes an analytical look at the work of Magnum’s photographers, and provides an understanding of what it is that makes Magnum Photos so different, so special and so great.

Author and curator Clément Chéroux, together with Clara Bouveresse, demonstrates how Magnum Photos owes its pre-eminence to the ability of its photographers to encompass and navigate the points between photography as art object and photography as documentary evidence. A Magnum photograph can be expressive and bear witness at the same time.

The book is organized into three main parts: Part I (1947–1968) views the Magnum archive through a humanist lens, focusing on post-war ideals of commonality and utopianism. Part II (1969–1989) shows a world fragmenting, with a focus on subcultures, minorities and outsiders. Part III (1990–2017) charts the ways in which Magnum photographers have captured – and continue to capture – a world in flux and under threat.

Featuring both group and individual projects, the book includes magazine spreads, newspaper articles, excerpts from books, and other valuable material, putting some of the world’s most recognizable images in creative context. Complete with extensive texts, an anthology of correspondence and an agency timeline, Magnum Manifesto is an expertly curated, essential collection of images and commentary for anyone seeking the very best in photography.

Contents List:

Preface: May 22, 1947 • Part I, 1947–1968: Human Rights and Wrongs • Part II, 1969–1989: An Inventory of Differences • Part III, 1990–2017: Stories About Endings • Epilogue: 'Magnum Is…'

About the Authors:

Clément Chéroux is senior curator of photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He was formerly head curator of photography at the Centre Pompidou, Paris.

Clara Bouveresse is a photography historian, with a PhD in art history from Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University.

For over thirty years, the New York Times Magazine has presented the myriad possibilities and applications of photography.

Aperture is pleased to present the upcoming publication and exhibition The New York Times Magazine Photographs, which reflects upon and interrogates the very nature of both photography and print magazines at this pivotal moment in their history and evolution. Edited by Kathy Ryan, long-time photo editor of the magazine, and with a preface by former editorial director Gerald Marzorati, this volume presents some of the finest commissioned photographs worldwide in four sections: reportage, portraiture, style, and conceptual photography, including photo illustration. Diverse in content and sensibility, and consistent in virtuosity, the photographs are accompanied by reproduced tear sheets to allow for the examination of sequencing and the interplay between text and image, simultaneously presenting the work while illuminating its distillation to magazine form.

This process is explored further through texts offering behind-the-scenes perspective and anecdotes by the many photographers, writers, editors, and other collaborators whose voices have been a part of the magazine over the years. David Campany contributes a critical essay that provides an in-depth history of the magazines relationship to photography, contextualizing its contributions within the larger world of magazine work. Also addressed are issues of documentary photography in relation to more conceptual photography; the efficacy of story-telling; and what makes an image evidentiary, objective, subjective, truthful, or a tool for advocacy; as well as thoughts on whether these matters are currently moot, or more critical than ever.

As such, The New York Times Magazine Photographs aims to serve as a springboard for a rigorous, necessary, and revitalized examination of photography as presented within a modern journalistic context.

For the majority of his decades-long career, Norman Rockwell relied on a camera to help him render the iconic scenarios born in his imagination. Photograph by photograph, he painstakingly assembled the specific features he sought for his envisioned illustration, projecting whole or partial pictures of amateur models, objects and settings onto drafting paper, and from there, onto canvas.

Many of Rockwell's most famous works - including those reproduced for LIFE and the Saturday Evening Post - began behind the lens. Uncanny in their approximation to his final paintings and unknown outside a small circle of Rockwell specialists, his study photographs are among the most evocative ever taken by a painter and undoubtedly cast his brushwork in a new light.

In lavish two-page spreads, this book presents nearly one hundred of history’s most memorable photographs — from the Wright Brothers’ first flight to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, from Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech to Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, and from the inauguration of President Barack Obama to the Syrian refugee crisis.

The volume features pictures from photography masters such as Lewis Hine, Dorothea Lange, Yousuf Karsh, Diane Arbus, and James Nachtwey, as well as iconic images from lesser-known and unknown photojournalists.

Photos that Changed the World has been updated to include indelible images of the most significant recent events. Engaging essays accompany each photograph and tell the story behind each image.

A new collection of unseen photographs of New York City's 1970s punk heyday, by one of the icons of the city's golden age of new wave, Blondie's Chris Stein.

For the duration of the 1970s - from his days as a student at the School of Visual Arts through the foundation of the era-defining band Blondie and his subsequent reign as epicenter of punk's golden age - Chris Stein kept an unrivaled photographic record of the downtown New York City scene.

Following in the footsteps of the successful book Negative, this spectacular new book presents a more personal and more visceral collection of Stein's photographs of the era. The images presented here take readers from self-portraits in his run-down East-Village apartment to candid photographs of pop-cultural icons of the time and evocative shots of New York City streetscapes in all their most longed-for romance and dereliction. An eclectic cast of cultural characters - from William Burroughs to Debbie Harry, Andy Warhol to Iggy Pop - appear here exactly as they were in the day, juxtaposed with children playing hopscotch on torn-down blocks, riding the graffiti-ridden subway, or cruising the burgeoning clubs of the Bowery.

At once a chronicle of one music icon's life among his punk and New-Wave heroes and peers, and a love letter to the city that was the backdrop and inspiration for those scenes, Point of View transports us to another place and time.

About the Author:

Chris Stein is the co-founder, songwriter, and guitarist of the iconic punk band Blondie. His photographic work has been featured in galleries and press around the world, and published in the successful book Negative: Me, Blondie, and the Advent of Punk, published by Rizzoli. Beyond his era-defining music with Blondie, he has collaborated with a host of artists over the years, from Shepard Fairey to Glenn O'Brien and Andy Warhol.

Святкування сторіччя від дня народження Сола Лейтера, офіційна ретроспектива революційного діяча фотографії ХХ століття.

Сол Лейтер фотографував і малював майже щодня протягом понад шістдесяти років, зібравши величезний архів, більша частина якого залишилася непоміченою за його життя. Знаходячи натхнення в кількох кварталах своєї квартири в нижньому Манхеттені, він був майстром у відкритті краси в звичайних місцях. Лейтер, якого сьогодні відзначають своїми яскравими кольоровими фотографіями Нью-Йорка 1950-х і 1960-х років, які були невідомі в той час, також досяг успіху як модний фотограф для Harper’s Bazaar. Весь цей час він знімав чорно-білі вуличні сцени під час своїх щоденних прогулянок, а також оголені та інтимні портрети вдома, продовжуючи свої пошуки живопису з абстрактними акварелями, химерними альбомами для малювання та мальованими фотографіями.

Створена у співпраці з Фондом Саула Лейтера, ця остаточна монографія об’єднує ці різноманітні, але взаємопов’язані масиви робіт – у тому числі багато з того, що раніше не було опубліковано – щоб уперше розкрити повного митця.

Про авторів:

Сол Лейтер народився в 1923 році в Піттсбурзі. У 1940-х роках він започаткував художній підхід до кольорової фотографії та створював обкладинки для модних журналів, таких як Esquire і Harper’s Bazaar до того, як у 1980-х роках повністю відійшов від уваги громадськості. Публікація його першої колекції «Early Color» у 2006 році надихнула на захоплене «перевідкриття», яке відтоді призвело до всесвітніх виставок і випуску документального фільму «Не поспішаючи: 13 уроків життя з Солом Лейтером» (2013). Він помер у Нью-Йорку в 2013 році.

Slow: Life in a Tuscan Town is an unprecedented photographic personal journey into the heart of hidden Tuscany that celebrates the principles that define the Slow Food movement and pays tribute to the region’s kaleidoscope of vibrant characters, whose shared culture revolves around the everyday pleasure of growing, preparing, and eating food.

With an anecdotal charm reminiscent of Peter Mayle’s A Year in Provence, Douglas Gayeton’s interplay of pictures and words conveys a thrilling narrative that transports you halfway around the globe to the charming town of Pistoia, nestled in the outskirts of Florence. There we meet the mushroom hunters and sheep farmers, the winemakers and fishermen, the bakers, butchers and chocolate makers whose lives are profoundly bound to the rhythms of nature. It is a riveting story told in a riveting way: each image comprised of multiple photographs taken over a period of time that can range anywhere from ten minutes to several hours, and layered with Gayeton’s handwritten notes, recipes, facts, and sayings. With this process, Gayeton has managed to introduce the concept of story and time; both compressed and exploded, into his portraits. The result is a photographic approach critics have dubbed flat film; the effect is exhilarating.

As Gayeton observes, “What my eyes saw was always grander than any lens could capture…How could I introduce the presence of time, of an emerging and evolving story comprised of not one, but many moments, into a single photograph?” In the accompanying text, Gayeton offers an absorbing first person account of his immersion into rural Italian culture, offering an intimacy that draws us deeper into this romantic and rustic world. A photographer, a pioneering new media creator, a wonderful writer and an award winning documentarian, Gayeton is passionately interested in food, culture, art, and people.

About the Author:

Douglas Gayeton is a filmmaker, photographer, and writer. His images are held in a number of influential museums and private collections around the world, and have been featured in numerous print and online media, such as Time Magazine. Since the early 90s he has created award-winning work at the boundaries of traditional and converging media for AOL, MSN, MTV, Yahoo, Fox, Napster, Vivendi, Sony, Viacom, Sega, Intel, National Geographic, PBS, Warner Bros, Columbia, and Virgin Records.

Про автора:

Девід Гібсон є одним із засновників IN-PUBLiC, відомого колективу вуличної фотографії. Серед його попередніх книг — 100 Great Street Photographs (Prestel) та The Street Photographer's Manual.

Generously illustrated with photographs from early twentieth-century reformers to contemporary artists, this collection of essays re-examines the genre of social documentary photography through the shifting lens of photographic objectivity, modes of dissemination, and the passions animating documentary projects.

While the public’s acceptance of photographs as visual evidence made documentary photography possible, canny interventions employed by image makers and their editors alternately exploit and dismantle assumptions of the medium’s transparency, testing our wish to see pictures inspire social change.

Among the photographers included in the exhibition and book are Berenice Abbott, Max Alpert, William Castellana, Walker Evans, Larry Fink, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Lewis Hine, Boris Ignatovich, Dorothea Lange, Igor Moukhin, Gordon Parks, Alexander Rodchenko, Arthur Rothstein, Sebastião Salgado, Arkady Shaikhet, Aaron Siskind, W. Eugene Smith, Weegee et al.

Зібравши деякі з найвідоміших знімків Алекса Вебба, багато з яких були зроблені в найвіддаленіших куточках землі, книга «Страждання світла» додає свіжого погляду до його великого каталогу.

Визнаний піонером американської кольорової фотографії, Вебб з 1970-х років послідовно створює фотографії, що характеризуються насиченим кольором і світлом. Його роботи з багатошаровою та складною композицією охоплюють різні жанри, включаючи вуличну фотографію, фотожурналістику та образотворче мистецтво, але, як стверджує Вебб, «для мене все це фотографія. Ви повинні вийти і досліджувати світ за допомогою камери». Здатність Вебба поєднувати жести, колір і протиставляти культурні напруження в єдині, чарівні кадри призводить до створення виразних зображень, що передають відчуття загадковості, іронії та гумору.

The Suffering of Light, що містить ключові роботи поряд з раніше неопублікованими фотографіями, є першою комплексною монографією Вебба та пропонує найґрунтовніше дослідження плідної тридцятирічної кар'єри цього сучасного майстра на сьогоднішній день.

Про автора:

Фотографії Алекса Вебба з'являлися в багатьох виданнях, зокрема в журналах New York Times Magazine, Life, Stern та National Geographic, а також виставлялися на міжнародних виставках. Він є лауреатом медалі Leica Medal of Excellence (2000) та Міжнародної премії Фотографії Алькобендас (2009), а також є членом Magnum Photos з 1976 року.

The urban environment offers a whole host of subjects to photograph, even in the smallest of towns. In the time it takes to walk a street or two, you can photograph panoramic skylines, people up close, at work or play, abstract architectural details, frenetic street activity and peaceful park scenes. You can capture elements of the past and present through the city’s architecture in one carefully composed street scene, then, within minutes, frame up the most recognisable landmark in the city.

Since 1955, the annual World Press Photo Contest has set the standard in visual journalism. The 2023 Yearbook showcases the most striking press photographs and compelling reports from 2022, carefully selected from thousands of entries by six regional and one global jury of acclaimed independent professionals. Providing a diversity of perspectives from all over the world, the awarded works bear witness to the events that shaped this past year, and document in long-term projects the ongoing issues we face. Recognizing the importance of photojournalism and documentary photography at a time, when the truth is contested, the awarded images share courageous stories and present invaluable insights― from warzones, the struggle for civil rights and political empowerment, to the visible impact of the climate crisis, which could be felt in 2022 more acutely than ever.

For six decades, the World Press Photo Foundation has been working from its home in Amsterdam as an independent, non-profit organization. To provide truly global perspectives, the foundation launched a new regional strategy in 2022. From January to March 2023 six regional and one global jury will decide on 24 regional and 4 global winners.

In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Yukio Mishima, one of the leading figures in modern literature, The Death of a Man presents a sublime -- and often shocking -- visual record of the last few months prior to his sensational ritual suicide in November 1970.

The author of masterworks such as The Temple of the Golden Pavilion and Forbidden Colors, Mishima, a celebrated figure in postwar world literature, remains a controversial figure in Japan. His reactionary politics and the spectacular nature of his death had so profoundly impacted Japanese society that images associated with the event were never publicly shown.

In the months prior to the November incident, he enlisted Kishin Shinoyama to create a photographic, radical work of fiction, a photo essay on the death of the Japanese "everyman." In images often suffused with militarism and eroticism, a parade of men, including a sailor, a construction worker, a fisherman, and a soldier, are shown meeting grisly, dramatic ends.

Published for the very first time, these stylized images of men dying alone serve as prologues to the real-world culmination of Mishima's pursuit of total art. Locked in a performance with one inescapable end, Mishima offered his own body as its final act.

With texts by Mishima and his closest intimates and first-person reminiscences of his final moments, this book promises to be an unprecedented interrogation on the nature of performance and the role of artist as actor, provocateur, and revolutionary.

About the Author:

Kishin Shinoyama is one of the titans of Japanese postwar photography. In 2018 Louis Vuitton reprinted his landmark 1981 work on the Silk Road.
