El universo visual del siglo pasado está repleto de referencias que han violentado nuestra noción histórica de la realidad, gracias a la difusión de una única imagen. Una única imagen ha desmantelado de golpe nuestra nocion de la realidad historica, y mucho mas, cuando esa imagen ha venido acompañada por un colofon que explica la datacion de su contenido. En este sentido, el discurso o la informacion añadida que una imagen contiene sabido ya es que puede cambiarnos nuestra percepcion de la misma. No es lo mismo ver una mancha fotografica de un plano rojo, acuoso, que parece una tinta, y luego saber, ya sea por su titulacion o por su ficha tecnica o por una reseña-colofon que la explicita, que este cromatismo es sangre. Otra cosa es saber ademas que esta sangre, es humana o animal. Y mas aun, de que animal y/o humano. No es lo mismo la relacion perceptual que tenemos con el dato visual que nos aporta una referencia cercana, personal. Por ejemplo, si esa sangre es de un conocido. Pues en esta tesitura del "añadido conceptual-discursivo", la ultima obra de Adrian Aleman, que ahora se exhibe bajo el rotulo de SOCIUS II, traza una linea de investigacion de un radical significado. En ella, el artista tinerfeño abre una brecha de significados que revitalizan las lecturas revisionistas de la historia en funcion de como re-leemos desde la observacion, un paisaje, o mas que un paisaje, la imagen de un paisaje.Incluye textos de Omar-Pascual Castillo, Adrian Aleman, Antonio Anson y Juan Antonio Molina.

This monograph forms an introduction to the major themes and the key images of American photographer Joel Meyerowitz, illustrated with 55 chronologically-presented images that offer a fresh insight into his career.An introductory essay by Colin Westerbeck discusses Meyerowitz''s life and work and places him both in the context of his time and within the history of photography. Born in 1938 in New York City, Meyerowitz went to Ohio to study painting and medical drawing at the State University but moved back to New York to work in advertising as an art director-designer.He then started to take photographs, leaving his job to concentrate on his new career. Shooting film in black-and-white, he travelled around the United States for three months after which he was offered a Guggenheim Scholarship to take pictures on the theme of ''leisure time''.It is as an early advocate of colour photography that Meyerowitz has had the greatest influence, for he was instrumental in changing the attitude toward the use of colour from one of resistance to nearly universal acceptance.His subject matter evolved from incidents on city streets shot with a small 35 mm camera to the large format field photograph. Architecture, light and space - particularly at Cape Cod - acquired a new interest for him. After the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York, he was the only photographer granted unimpeded access to Ground Zero where he systematically documented the work of demolition and excavation, rescue and recovery. He has been awarded the title Photographer of the Year by the Friends of Photography, San Francisco. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, both in New York and he has been exhibited and published worldwide, for many years.

First published in 1992, Immediate Family has been lauded by critics as one of the great photography books of our time, and among the most influential.Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland summer home in Virginia, Sally Manns extraordinary, intimate photographs of her children reveal truths that embody the individuality of her own family yet ultimately take on a universal quality. With sublime dignity, acute wit, and feral grace, Manns pictures explore the eternal struggle between the childs simultaneous dependence and quest for autonomythe holding on and the breaking away. This is the stuff of which Greek dramas are made: impatience, terror, self-discovery, self-doubt, pain, vulnerability, role-playing, and a sense of immortality, all of which converge in these astonishing photographs. This reissue of Immediate Family is printed using new scans and separations from Manns original prints, which were taken with an 8-by-10-inch view camera, rendering them with a freshness and sumptuousness true to the original edition.Sally Mann (born in Lexington, Virginia, 1951) is one of Americas most renowned photographers.

The Waiting Game reúne la serie fotográfica que Txema Salvans realizó durante seis años a lo largo de la costa mediterránea española. Se trata de un cuadro certero sobre la necesidad y el deseo, donde concepto y plasticidad encajan perfectamente. La esencia de su trabajo radica en la exploracion de la amplia y variada paleta de conductas y anhelos humanos a menudo sorprendente.En su recorrido, Txema fotografio en su contexto la prostitucion que se ejerce en la carretera: los cruces y las rotondas, las calles sin salida de los poligonos, los arcenes; espacios que quedan al margen de todo y que le sirven como marco escenico para mostrar una actividad tan sobreexpuesta como la prostitucion.La busqueda y el procedimiento que Txema Salvans utilizo para lograr su objetivo, lo acercan a la indagacion de tipo cientifico; es decir, primero detecto los lugares y a sus protagonistas, y despues se dirigio a ellos camuflado como un topografo.Solo asi fue como pudo acceder a la posibilidad de desarrollar un trabajo que esta entre la diseccion sociologica y la narracion naturalista. En este acercamiento a la prostitucion, la figura solitaria de la mujer que se mantiene a la espera, con su imagen estereotipada de objeto sexual, aparece en una media distancia que resulta chocante y a veces incluso tragica.

Hearing the call of the wild and capturing it on camera are two very different things, as the 10 photographers featured in the new book The Masters of Nature Photography can attest. They sometimes spent months tracking their subjects or stood waist-deep in lakes for hours. Still, nature photography is an underappreciated art, says the book's editor, Rosamund Kidman Cox. Because wildlife photography has historically been used mainly to record animals rather than to create art, the job was left to scientists who weren't trying to take something beautiful, says Ms. Cox. But recent improvements in photography, such as larger lenses and digital features, have allowed photographers to get more up-close and artistic.--Alexandra Wolfe"Wall Street Journal" (09/27/2013)
