"Brassaï is a living eye," wrote Henry Miller of the Hungarian-born artist who adopted Paris after World War I and became one of its most celebrated photographers. Originally a painter before he moved on to writing, sculpture, cinema and, most famously, photography, Brassaï (1899-1984) was a member of Paris`s cultural elite, counting Miller, Picasso, Sartre, Camus, and Cocteau, among his friends. Camera in hand, he scoured the streets and bars of Paris, unabashedly capturing the city`s inhabitants in their natural habitats. Prostitutes, hoodlums, and other 'marginal` characters were the most famous heroes of Brassaï`s moody, gritty photographs taken often by night. Including an extensive selection of Brassaï`s finest photographs and an essay describing his life and work, this book explores the world of Brassaï in thematic chapters: Minotaure magazine, Paris at Night, Secret Paris, Day Visions, Artists of My Life, and Graffiti and Transmutations.

Parallel, de Hannah Collins, comenzó siendo una instalación de tres proyecciones simultáneas. Estas tres historias de inmigrantes evocan una realidad mucho más compleja y mucho más incómoda de la que nos cuentan los periodicos y la television. Collins nos situa ante la vida diaria de los inmigrantes africanos. Sus tres protagonistas, Pamela, Dewa y Constantine, son personas, no simbolos, personas cuyas raices han sido arrancadas de una cultura que ya no puede mantenerles en una nueva tierra. El libro consta de varios fotogramas y dialogos extraidos de la pelicula, y muestra sus pensamientos, sus recuerdos y su vida diaria en el proceso de adaptacion a su nuevo entorno, a pesar de sus distintos y diversos origenes y destinos.

Esta edición de Luna Córnea constituye una amplia monografíaa sobre Nacho López, uno de los fotógrafos mexicanos más importantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XX: mejor conocido por su fotoperiodismo en las revistas ilustradas, tambien exploro la arquitectura, la danza y la antropologia. Pero son sus imagenes precisas y rigurosas, lucidas y criticas, de las calles capitalinas las que lo convierten en el fotografo por excelencia de la contradictoria urbe de mediados de siglo. Nacho Lopez tambien creo cierto tipo de cine, suerte de performance callejero, en el que despliega recursos narrativos eficientes e insospechados.

Un hito en la obra del fotógrafo de mágnum carl de keyzer. un tríptico que nos habla de la omnipresencia del poder y la violencia. una obra que coge al toro del poder contemporáneo por los cuernos y nos muestra su peor perfil (la violencia sin sentido y la devastación que asola el mundo). a través de opresivas visiones, carl de keyzer divide su obra en tres series. la primera, tableaux d'historie, arroja una nueva luz zobre la dimensión teatral que desde siempre ha caracterizado el poder y sin la que no podría subsistir. la segunda, tableaux de guerre nos muestra la violencia como un fenómeno intemporal y atópico. la tercera, tableaux politiques, nos invita a pasearnos por los recovecos del poder político (la fachada, las influencias, las disputas, el regateo...). un poder que debería pertenecer a la gente, al fin y al cabo. una obra maestra en todos los sentidos.

Widely acclaimed for his fresh and innovative erotic photography, Andreas H. Bitesnich shows the same inimitable daring and sense of wonder in his travel photography. Many of these images were captured while on assignment for prominent magazines. Alongside this gifted photographer, we discover an array of intriguing destinations up close. Through Bitesnich''s talented lens, we marvel at the tropical vitality of a Cuban street scene, the bustle of an American city street and the beguiling exoticism of the Far East. The richness and energy he brings to these visions expands our horizons and broadens our minds.

Those who love Kern know each book is an invitation to join him in his privileged world where natural young women share their most intimate moments. Richard has never lost his boyish curiosity with girls and their secrets, so instead of posing them in sterile sets he follows them through the houseor rather his New York apartmentfrom backyard to kitchen to bathroom to bedroom, capturing every sexy and embarrassing moment. Action is his most revealing book yet. For 280 pages we careen through the life of Kern, accompanied by dozens of energetic, fun-loving, clothes-dropping exhibitionists. Young women want to show the world theyre not like their man-hating womens lib mothers, a Kern model once told me, and these girls certainly get the point across. To further assist the young ladies in their rebellion, the book includes an hour-long DVD of original Kern film with an exclusive musical score by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. Way to stick it to the Mom, ladies! And thank you, Richard, you lucky dog. - Dian Hanson
