The first detailed study of what filmic images can tell us about iconic photographs No Power Without an Image reveals the multifaceted connections between seven celebrated photographs of political struggles taken between 1936 and 1968 and cinema in all its forms

A seminal experience for American photographer Malerie Marder (born 1971) was a family friend's request for Marder to photograph her with her lover, naked and in the anonymous setting of a motel room. This set the tone for Marder's work for the next decade. Her photographs of nudes are composed simply, much like portrait painting, her subjects sitting plainly near the center of the frame, often set against the bleak anonymity of motel rooms, their impassive gazes almost daring the viewer to interpret their bodies. "Marder has explored the psychosexual undertow of her own intimate relationships," Siobhan McDevitt wrote in Artforum, "frequently shooting herself along with family and friends in close quarters (including pay-by-the-hour motels) and, usually, undressed. She flirts with prurience, with ideas of privacy and surveillance, eroticism and pornography, but seems more satisfied when approaching the complications of love or being in love." Beautifully illustrated, Carnal Knowledge contains 77 color reproductions of these photographs, as well as new texts from James Ellroy and Neville Wakefield, a preface by Gregory Crewdson, short stories inspired by Marder's work by A. M. Homes, James Frey and Bruce Wagner, and a Q & A for Marder devised by Philip-Lorca diCorcia. It is the first volume to collect these works and to bring Marder's work to a wider audience.

Occulta verita es un álbum de gran formato y encuadernación en cartoné que incluye fotografías de Juan Moro, uno de los más destacados fotógrafos y artistas plásticos del panorama contemporáneo, acompañados por textos y poemas de reconocidos escritores, como Gabriel Sopeña, Jose Luis Melero, Anton Castro, Olga Bernad, Angel Guinda, Pilar Clau, Luis Salvago, Angelica Morales, Cuti Vericad o Miguel Angel Ortiz Albero, entre otros. En palabras de Desiree Orus en el prologo del libro: En este trabajo del autor, el desnudo es la constante que plano a plano, pliegue a pliegue de la piel, va dibujando una representacion proferida por medio de un juego de luces y sombras, enmascaradas por una dorada claridad donde se desenvuelven los personajes, una atmosfera de texturas pictoricas que se mimetizan con un suelo o una tela que acompaña la torsion del cuerpo. Figuras en ocasiones estaticas, de cuerpos poderosos, de mirada desafiante, de rostro ausente o cegados ojos. Imagenes donde se palpa una sensualidad inconsciente que cristaliza en el placer de lo desconocido o aquello que permanece restringido y solo es posible percibir a traves de la vision del sueño o la pesadilla dantesca, donde nada es lo que parece y todo es posible. La desnudez es el conclave de la fotografia. Una anatomia siempre hermosa, con una cuidada evaluacion de volumenes en cada composicion.

“...Se puede afirmar que la historia del fotograma se inicia en el registro de unas letras y culmina con la inscripción de unas manos...” “Dactilografías” es la obra conceptual con la que Joan Fontcu

No sé si recuerdo o imagino. Soy media generación más joven que los protagonistas de estas fotos estupendas de nuestro amigo Florencio y quizás esa ?media generación? ?se cuantifique como se cuantifique? fuera muy importante en terminos sociales y culturales. Vamos, que me perdi algunas cosas fascinantes de aquellos años, aunque vivi otras, que duda cabe? Pues aquel Florencio de entonces nos regala ahora unas fotografias de aquellos tiempos. Rostros, imagenes, miradas (que miradas), esquinas y parques en segundo plano, añoranzas? que hablan sin hablar de aquellos nombres magicos (Bar Flor de Texas, calle Elfo, calle del Pileo?) cuando el mundo era tambien magico o cuando nosotros lo veiamos y lo mirabamos asi. Las fotos de Floro captan las miradas de aquellos jovenes soñadores e idealistas, miradas enamoradas o vergonzosas, miradas audaces y casi provocativas o vergonzosas, miradas ilusionadas o veladas ya por algun desengaño.
