Matilde Marín in Pharus II. Landscapes and Photographic Fictions again embarks on a visual journey that documents and recreates lighthouses of the world. This work illuminates with reddish tones the lighthouses that are the return home - in the reverse journey to Pharus. From the southern hemisphere to the north - now the artist goes from Iceland to the southernmost south of Argentina. In this displacement with documentary images and fictional landscapes Marin presents lighthouses that are not only physical guides at sea, but by their visuality now reveal spaces of fascination and are the occasion to imagine new narratives that revitalise these symbols of memory and history. Laura Malosetti Costa expresses that the lighthouses evoke concepts and narratives such as those of the voyage, shipwreck, tragedy, and are the result of both the artists experiences and her literary readings. Adriana Musitano analyses the abyssal settings that partially duplicate the lighthouses in their reflections and observes that Marin astonishes with images that create a utopian space by creating photographic fictions that link the landscape of the Salinas Grandes of Argentina with faraway places. The lighthouses and constellations in this ebook illuminate our planet and the planisphere shows them in relation to the cardinal points, seas and continents. Marin narrates his return home and also his trip to Egypt, when he learns about the place where the first lighthouse was, Alexandria. The Lighthouses of affection are added, with photographs of her friends, remembering her.

Storm is increasingly the default setting for our lives. It is as if the next environmental, medical, social or political calamity is mere moments away. Of course, Storm is the dramatic expression of natures wild side, yet it is also the defining characteristic of our age. We are constantly reminded that the precious ecosystems of our fragile planet are under threat as never before. At the same time our social and political systems are fracturing - in the famously prophetic words of W.B. Yeats the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. Against all of this there are ripples of discontent that could still turn into a storm powerful enough to provoke the kinds of change necessary to save us all.The Prix Pictet is the worlds leading award for photography and sustainability. It was founded in 2008 by the Pictet Group with the goal of harnessing the power of photography to draw global attention to critical environmental issues. To date, there have been eleven cycles of the award, each with its own theme highlighting a particular facet of sustainability. For each cycle, a book is published showcasing the work of the shortlisted photographers as well as powerful images produced by a selection of the other nominated photographers.

As a dedicated photographer, I aim to capture the worlds beauty with sensitivity. Whether through serene landscapes or vibrant street scenes, I seek to foreground human connection. My artistic perspective is profoundly shaped by a theme that holds deep personal significance: hope. I believe that as long as life endures, there is always an open door. In a world frequently overshadowed by sorrow and uncertainty, I strive to emphasize what is gentler, brighter, and filled with promise. Through both my photography and poetry, I seek to convey a deeply held conviction : we must persist in believing in the possibility of a better tomorrow.

Qualcosa disturba la nostra immedesimazione nei grandi temi etici a cui ci convoca il Decalogo di Kie?lowski: incongruita, intrusioni inesplicabili, oggetti che si ribellano alla loro funzione, creano, nei personaggi del film e negli spettatori, irritazione e malessere. Nonostante Kie?lowski affermi che questi ospiti importuni facciano parte di una realta che non si puo capire e non si puo sistemare in un ordine logico, noi li consideriamo come i messaggeri di unaltra scena che contesta e sovverte quella manifesta.Dietro un Decalogo cristiano, riproposto come conflitto morale tra lobbedienza ai Comandamenti e le passioni umane che li violano ogni giorno, sembra affermarsi un elemento ebraico irriducibile, complesso e contradditorio, spesso beffardo, che mette in tensione la coerenza della narrazione, caricandola di una dimensione opaca, ostile e minacciosa.La petizione etica su cui insistono le sceneggiature rischia cosi di occultare o di mitigare lo scandalo radicale al centro dei dieci film, che puo essere percepito solo soffermandosi sulle discordanze tra le une e gli altri.Seconda edizione digitale riveduta, corretta e accresciuta 2025

Francesc Catala-Roca (1922 - 1998), was a Spanish photographer of great renown, considered a pioneer of documentary photography.Catala-Roca: A Photographers Impressions stands as a testament to an analog era, now almost entirely wiped out with the advent of the Internet and digital technologies.His photographic legacy is an invaluable visual testimony of the Spanish society of his time.His work in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s represented the emergence of new street photography in Spain. For half a century, he travelled across Spain, masterfully capturing everyday scenes of the post-war era and the essence of urban landscapes. He worked alongside artists such as Joan Miro and Antoni Tapies, immortalizing the art and culture of the 20th century.Thirty years after its first edition, photography and history enthusiasts will discover previously unpublished content to enrich historiographic narratives. The text, both entertaining and spontaneous, preserves not only anecdotes about events and figures of the 20th century, but also offers humanist ideas for a responsible and passionate approach to photography. Even though the technology of that time has long been surpassed, this book remains full of vibrant ideas, serving as an antidote to todays automatism, overconsumption, and globalization that can trivialize the image.
