Photographer Joel Meyerowitz is renowned for his vast spectrum of work. He is a preeminent street photographer, having broken new ground in the genre in the 1960s. He is also a pioneer of color photography, as testified by his classic pictures of Cape Cod. And he is the photographer who has given us unforgettable images of Ground Zero. Spanning a career rich with creative milestones and iconic works, "Joel Meyerowitz: Taking My Time" explores the enduring influence of the master photographer over the past half-century.
The two volumes of this superb limited edition feature close to 600 photographs edited and sequenced by Meyerowitz to create a chronological record of his evolution as an artist and the crucial role he played in the emergence of color photography. A fitting tribute to an illustrious career, "Joel Meyerowitz: Taking My Time" showcases the photographer's entire oeuvre, including both landmark and previously unpublished photographs.
Volume 1 of this two-volume set covers 1962 to 1974. The images in this volume include Meyerowitz' seminal color photography and black-and-white street photographs of New York City; images taken during a year in Europe which he refers to as his coming-of-age bot as an artist and a man; and documentation of America during the Vietnam War years. Volume 2 takes us through to present-day, spotlighting his trademark images of Cape Cod; portraits; photographs taken while traveling through Tuscany and other places; his chronicle of the road trip he took with his son and his father, who had Alzheimer's; indelible images of Ground Zero; and transporting pictures of the parks of New York.
Featuring a signed print, a DVD of Meyerowitz's award-winning film "Pop" - in which he chronicles the road trip he took with his son and father (who at the time was suffering from Alzheimer's) and a graphic novel adapted from the film, "Joel Meyerowitz: Taking My Time" is a compelling record of the creative and professional development of a master photographer, and a tremendously personal, inspiring work.

The Thread and the River is a photographic story dedicated to the story of the Po river in Italy and the territories that the river crosses, consisting of about 50 shots taken by Paolo Simonazzi between 2013 and 2021. The protagonist is the slow and heavy flow of the river, which appears even when not photographed directly: its presence emerges in the surrounding landscape and in the people who live in the places crossed by its waters. Territories united as by a thread, part of a world perhaps in danger of extinction, and of which the author - in the wake of a photographic tradition that begins after the war - gives us visual traces, inviting us to listen to what Francesco Zanot calls the feeble song of a supra-territorial territory, attacked by political geography, clinging as it is to the shaky line of water for hundreds of kilometers. Text in English and Italian.

Architect, designer, writer, skier, racing driver and stunt pilot, Carlo Mollino placed photography in a wholly privileged role in the pantheon of his languages and interests. Carlo Mollino used photography at a means of expression, producing works that were both classical and experimental, and as a fundamental instrument for the documentation of his work and his daily life. From a theoretical point of view, he provided an important impulse to the historic and aesthetic study of this means, contributing to its transition into the system of art. With over 450 illustrations, this book fully investigates the relationship between Mollino and photography, from his first architectural shots to the Polaroids of his later years, placing him within the history of the discipline. Text in English and Italian.

Published on the occasion of the great exhibition staged at CAMERA - Centro Italiano per la Fotografia - this volume retraces the history and legend of 'paparazzi'. 'Paparazzi' is a photographic and cultural phenomenon born during the years in which Rome was considered 'Hollywood on the Tiber River'. The 120 images portray the features of the protagonists of that season - especially the divas and stars of the silver screen, in addition to the photographs illustrating the wild nights in Via Veneto between the 1950s and 1960s. Photos by Tazio Secchiaroli, Marcello Geppetti, Elio Sorci, Ron Galella and many other prominent figures of the time make up (together with pages out of the magazines in which they were published) a fresco of popular communication from back then. Once the heroic season of paparazzi came to an end, that language became a sort of code used in different artistic and commercial contexts, as demonstrated in the final part of the volume by the images of the leading names in today's photography scene such as Alison Jackson, Armin Linke and Ellen von Unwerth. Text in English and Italian.

In his photographs, Olivo Barbieri (*1954 in Carpi) displays human living environments in such a way that the unknown facets of reality come to light. Urban centers in China or America dominate his photographic series, alongside geographic locations such as the Dolomite Mountains, the Alps or Capri as well as famous waterfalls in Canada, Argentina, Zimbabwe. From 2003 until 2013 he photographed more than forty cities and megacities worldwide. One of the distinctive features of his photographs is an extremely low depth of focus that creates the impression that what they show are miniature models. Despite crowds of people, flows of traffic, rows of skyscrapers, mountain ranges, or deluges of water in saturated colors and strong contrasts, the worlds he depicts seem seen for the first time. By long exposing of artificial illuminations, the feeling of estrangement is intensified even more. Barbieri produced his first nightlight photographs in the early eighties in Italy. Ersatz Lights presents all of the artist's night landscapes for the first time.Exhibitions: Fotografia Europea, Reggio Emilia 15.5.-17.7.2015 | Villa Manin, Passariano beginning Summer 2016
