Frederic Delangle - Venise, la disparition

Editions Xavier Barral 2017 ISBN 9782365111287 Acqn 27290
Hb 30x24cm 144pp 60ills 48

The disappearance of Venice is foretold... Documenting the city's architecture keeping its
evanescence in mind, this is the position taken by Frdric Delangle for his photographic series.

As an allusion to Georges Perec's novel, Venezia, La scomparsa (Venice, The disappearance)

refers to the formal constraint the photographer set himself for the treatment of his images: to
empty out all intermediate colours between black and white, as well as contrasts, playing on the
density of the images. The legendary city vanishes by day and becomes ghostly by night.

As Sabrina Ponti highlights in her text: So painted, photographed, and filmed, Venice might seem
to have no more secrets to reveal, and yet in this disappearance of contrast and colour, as water
and land blend into each other, the viewer is invited to look harder, in a less superficial way, at
the lagoon city, and so perhaps uncover its secrets.

Steven Pippin - Aberration Optique

Editions Xavier Barral 2017 ISBN 9782365111355 Acqn 27291
Hb 16x22cm 350pp 135ills col 45
Text in French

Photographer, inventor, performer Steven Pippin develops ingenious devices in order to

transform day-to-day objects into cameras: from a bathtub to a refrigerator, from train toilets to a
washing machine. He questions the photographic process by elaborating shooting systems and
creating hybrid handmade machines which he calls "non cameras".

Pippin's first monograph, this book gathers all the research the artist translates into technical
experimentations taking poetical shapes.

Barabara Probst - 12 Moments

Editions Xavier Barral 2017 ISBN 9782365111195 Acqn 27552
Hb 30x24cm 134pp 60ills 12col 39.50
Text in French

This book gathers a series of diptychs by German photographer Barbara Probst. Suspended
moments, straight from Probst's imagination, she photographed two perspectives of the same
scene in the same moment. Photography, examined through these different angles, becomes
sculpture.

In his essay, Robert Hobbs, American curator and art historian, puts these dreamlike works,
made in 2015, into the context of Probsts previous artistic development.

Flore Des Friches Urbaines - Audrey Muratet, Myr Muratet, Marie Pellaton
Editions Xavier Barral 2017 ISBN 9782365111294 Acqn 27677
Hb 13x21cm 464pp 1400ills 600col 26
Text in French

Identify and name over 250 plants that we see everyday. This book offers a playful discovery of
nature wilderness in wastelands. Including 600 photographs and 800 original drawings, Flore des
friches urbaines is a biodiversity guide.

Wilderness is a world in itself, a sanctuary. It gathers a prodigious diversity of plants and animals
in an urban environment. Abandoned industrial wastelands, orchards, lands along railways and
streams are spaces of great sensory experiences.

This flora is the result of a field research initiated 15 years ago by the authors. The book aims at
being a reference for naturalists retaining all its scientific dimension. However, it is for everyone to
read, botanists and the nature-curious alike, thanks to its many entries of photographs, drawings
and its glossary.
