Image Cities takes us through cities ranked highest in global interconnectedness by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, revealing their transformation behind façades of heightened anticipation. The photographs can be interpreted as a critique of consumerism and a global visual-economic order that envelops local identities. Samoylova’s work refines urban photography clichés: citizens overshadowed by massive images, faces distorted through glass, and the Pop-Cubism of visual collage. The small human figures appear indifferent as they navigate city spaces, their existence a blend of various places and times. Samoylova engages with these clichés, deconstructing and reassembling them, aiming for a pictorial sophistication that transcends simple arguments. She prompts reflection on the disparity between these cities' brand identities and their everyday realities. ANASTASIA SAMOYLOVA (*1984), originally from Moscow, moved to the United States in 2008 and earned a master’s degree in Interdisciplinary Art from Bradley University, Illinois. Her work examines the tension between staged perceptions of materialism and reality. Based in Miami, Florida, she combines collage-like details with road trip themes, with her recent series Flood Zones and Floridas receiving critical acclaim.

On March 13, 2020 when the global coronavirus pandemic brought life as we know it to an abrupt halt, the International Center of Photography, just weeks after opening in a brand-new building on Manhattan'ss Lower East Side that was buzzing with visitors, was forced to close its doors. Wanting to do more than virtual exhibition tours, ICP announced the #ICPConcerned open call on March 20th, an invitation for people to make, upload, and tag images on Instagram of whatever was going on in their lives wherever they were. What resulted was more than sixty thousand submissions from countries as far flung as France, Singapore, Argentina, Nigeria, Canada, and Iran. From the halls of medical facilities to eerily empty streets and domestic settings converted into home offices and classrooms, the more than 800 photographs collected here are organized chronologically and accompanied by headlines gathered from various global news entities. Taken together, these words and pictures represent the pain, heartbreak, hope, and occasional humor we've all experienced this past year against the backdrop of COVID-19, unrelenting racial injustice, and a divisive political climate. Exhibition: ICP International Center for Photography, New York, USA (01.10.2020 - 03.01.2021).

Exploring the realm of photography, David Campany curates a diverse collection of 120 images from renowned photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson and William Eggleston. Rather than adhering to traditional categories, the selection reveals its own unique logic, showcasing works ranging from fashion photography to intimate street scenes. Each photograph is paired with insightful commentary that delves into its history, meaning, and cultural context. Inspired by Susan Sontag's seminal work, this book reflects Campany's personal journey in understanding photography's impact.

The Swiss company Baloise has a reputation among art experts, but not just as an insurance and financial services company. With its programs that support art, its collaborations with museums, and the renowned Baloise Art Prize for young artists, which is awarded at Art Basel, the company has had a lasting effect on the development of contemporary art. Less well-known up to now is the fact that, parallel to the company's activities, it has also built a first-class art collection, which dates back to the mid-twentieth century. Since turning to contemporary art in the 1990s, the company has collected the works of notable artists. With a focus on photography and works on paper from the 1960s onward, some of the artists represented in the collection are Miriam Cahn, Simon Denny, Katharina Fritsch, Bruce Nauman, and Jeff Wall. Baloise Art is the first publication to provide a broader audience with an overview of the collection. Informative texts by prestigious authors accompany the artworks.

Greg Girard?s photographs of Vancouver from the 1970s and early 1980s show us the city?s final days as a port town at the end of the railway line. Soon after Vancouver began to be noticed by the wider world (Expo 86 is generally agreed on as the pivotal moment), the city began refashioning itself as an urban resort on nature?s doorstep and attracting attention as a destination for real estate investment. At that time, long before post-9/11 security concerns sealed off the working waterfront from the city, many of Vancouver?s downtown and east side streets ended at the waterfront, an area filled with commercial fishing docks, cargo terminals, and bars and cafes for waterfront workers and sailors. Pawn-shop windows downtown displayed outboard motors, chainsaws and fishing gear. Wandering these streets, living in cheap hotels, Girard photographed the workaday (and night) world of the city where he grew up. 0The photographs in 'Under Vancouver' 1972?198'2 were made before Girard began earning a living as a magazine photographer, later establishing a formal practice as an artist. They reveal an early interest in the hidden and the overlooked, the use of color film at night, and the extended photographic inquiry of a specific place, all of which became signature features of later books such as City of Darkness and City of Darkness Revisited (about the infamous Kowloon Walled City), Phantom Shanghai and Hanoi Calling. 'Under Vancouver 1972?1982' is the first comprehensive collection of Girard?s early photographs of Vancouver. Made in and of the moment, a young photographer?s earliest engagements (often featuring the underside of the city), the pictures now form an unintended photographic record of a Vancouver that has all but disappeared

Das fotografische Bild ist erfüllt von Stille. Keine Bewegung, kein Geräusch, keine Zeit. Aber was passiert, wenn eines dieser fehlenden Elemente hinzugefügt wird? The Still Point of the Turning World fokussiert auf jenen seltenen Moment, in dem sich ein Fotograf dem Film zuwendet oder eine Videokünstlerin der Fotografie. Welche Art von Schönheit findet sich an der Grenze zwischen den beiden Medien?

The River Lea runs from Hertfordshire down to the Thames in East London. Once a busy commercial waterway, it is now a nature reserve and leisure area. From the grand site of the 2012 Olympic Games it passes industrial estates, sports centres, new build homes and council estates. Escape from the city; the reinvention of social spaces; the attraction of water; the meeting of different cultures; the persistence of nature. Adventures in Lea Valley collects a decade's worth of photographs from Davaid Campany and Polly Braden, telling the story of this changing land.
