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and previously unpublished photographs.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.
