| Title: Citizen |
| By (author): MÃ¥rten Lange |
| ISBN10-13: 2369620056 : 9782369620051 |
| MÃ¥rten Lange intermittently lived in London for 4 years. Just before he left, he started photographing the birds surrounding him. In cities like London, feral pigeons are predominant. Their round eyes, which Patrick SÃ"skind compared to a camera in his book, The Pigeon, are mechanically pointed at you. With sufficient technology, they could become inescapable surveillance tools, evoking the feeling of the pet owl possessed by Eldon Tyrell in the dystopian movie Blade Runner. Ironically, birds are presumed free by essence. Due to their ability to fly, they supposedly know neither limits nor boundaries. Yet, while a wing stroke could carry them anywhere, pigeons seem embedded in cities: glued to power lines or building balconies. Poles apart from a migrating bird; they are trapped in their concrete ecosystem. They seem to have always been here, en masse, like feathered sentinels to something sacred that only they perceive. Often immobile, they guard the city like the colossus that once guarded Rhodes. Purveying a bucolic sullenness, their apparent sadness echoes the drabness associated with urban landscapes. Pigeons often appear beat up, dirty, starving and crippled. Against all odds, they stay, feeding on what humans leave behind. Their wildness is urban, and in their quest for survival, they share the daily struggles of the citiesâ inhabitants. Similarly, pigeons passed their test of fire and claimed their territory, which Lange feels that this is what truly defines them as a citizen. Shot at close range in black and white, Langeâ s portraits of pigeons are almost clinical. Itâ s as if these birds had to renew their passports and needed a photo. However, like a true citizen, they probably will never use it. |

| Title: Ecstatic Nature |
| ISBN10-13: 2369620196 : 9782369620198 |
| Tim Barberâ s â Ecstatic Nature,â published by France-based à tudes Books, is a diary-like meandering through natural scenes and urban landscapes. A mix between digital and analog photography, the book wanders between everyday moments (a girlâ s head resting on the dashboard of a car, a group of friends walking down a street as the sun sets behind them), deliberate stagings (two hands touching with an unnatural gesture, a fishbowl held as if to replace a head), and spectacular views (a car burning on the side of the road). The title â Ecstatic Natureâ refers not only to the bookâ s subject matter but also to the cyanotype process used for some of the images, tinting them a monochromatic shade of blue. â The cyanotype process emphasizes how when an image is simplified, it can reveal itself, be more emotionally resonant, truer to form (â ¦). Photographs are like rubbings of three-dimensional reality, translations of impressions.â â Tim Barber |

| Title: I Speak A Language That Is Not Mine |
| ISBN10-13: 236962020X : 9782369620204 |
| Independent publishing house à tudes Books has always spotlighted the multi-disciplinary creations of artists from the contemporary art scene. For their latest 2022 publication, the Parisian fashion studio is pleased to unveil the book N°26 created with renowned Italian and London-based artist Alesso Bolzoni. â According to the photographer, the personification of objects and the body caught between two states are his favorite themes. Featured in past collaborations between Bolzoni and à tudes, these topics resurface in I SPEAK A LANGUAGE THAT IS NOT MINE. The book expresses a visual reflection through fragments, recurrences and visual scansions. â â â Itâ s an observation of reality as I see it â a personal, social and political registration of reality filtered through the lens of photo notes. Every detail tells a story and reveals something about my practice of living. This is my language.â â â Alessio Bolzoni. â Digital photographs, scans, facsimiles, screenshots: these various images, put in relation to one another, compose a mental cartography of the artistâ s state of mind. Bodies in motion, chromatic analogies, skin details, plastic textures and press clippings instill a dynamic impression of uncanniness. The term â â abuseâ â â referring to the eponymous titles of Bolzoniâ s previous books takes on an evocative power and invites us to question our relationship to images. The result is an intimate visual poem about form and substance. |

| American artist Colin Snapp (b. 1982 Lopez Island, Washington) consistently challenges the mediated viewing experience. Obsessively cataloguing the American landscape and the way that we access it, his photos, videos and sculpture investigate the manner we are delivered and choose to accept, an image of reality. Continually accessing the landscape (and consequently all life) through screens, we encompass ourselves in glass. Whether that be arriving within the glass windows of a charter bus, looking through a telescopic photo, or iPhone, lens or consequently en route by way of a highway and through the windscreen, Snapp reminds us that what we accept is only a mere apparition of what is actually in front of us. |
