Walker Evans Labor Anonymous

Premier livre consacré au Road trip photographique, abordé comme un genre esthétique, cet ouvrage rassemble 18 photographes d'exception. Bandes d'asphalte et de béton, déserts de rocaille, station service, motels devinrent dans les années 1950 les nouveaux éléments d'une grammaire visuelle qui façonna notre perception de la culture américaine. L'oeuvre mythique de Walker Evans (American photographs, 1938), considérée comme fondatrice a ouvert la voie à de nombreux photographes comme en témoigné l'editing époustouflant de ce livre. Il dresse un panorama des représentations de l'espace américain, multipliant les approches en convoquant aussi le regard de photographes européens ou asiatiques.

Road Trips - Voyages photographiques à travers l'Amérique

Cet ouvrage est consacré à l'oeuvre d'un artiste pionnier de l'art vidéo mais aussi écrivain et théoricien anglais qui s'est d'abord affirmé comme l'un des initiateurs de l'art conceptuel. Les auteurs des quatre essais réunis dans ce livre s'appuient sur les récentes images projetées de Burgin comme sur des " objets qui permettent de penser " leur propre travail.

Projective - Essays about the Work of Victor Burgin

The road trip is an enduring symbol in American culture. Ever since cars became widely available, the road stretching over the horizon has represented a sense of possibility and freedom, discovery and escape—a place to get lost end find yourself. The American road trip has appeared prominently in literature, music, and movies, but it has had an especially powerful influence on photography. As photographers haw embarked on trips across the United States with the express purpose of making work, they have created some of the most important photographs in the history of the medium : from images by Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Berenice Abbott to Robert Frank's seminal 1950s odyssey, The Americans. From Stephen Shore to Ryan McGinley, hundreds of other photographers have continued the tradition. The Open Road is the first book to explore the photographic road trip as a genre. It opens with a comprehensive introduction, which traces the rise of road culture in America and considers photographers on the move across the country and across the century, from the early 1900s to present day. Each chapter explores one body of work in depth through informative texts and a portfolio of images, beginning with Robert Frank, and including such renowned work as Garry Winogrand's 1964, Joel Sternfeld's American Prospects, William Eggleston's Los Alamos, and Alec Soth's Sleeping by the Mississippi. The Open Road is a visual tour de force, presenting the story of photographers for whom the American road is muse.
