A Year and A Day. Un An et un jour
Leonore Mau a voyagé pendant près de deux décennies avec l'écrivain Hubert Fichte pour explorer les religions afro-diasporiques. Leurs photographies sont pour la plupart restées inédites. Elles nous posent des défis : Que signifie les regarder aujourd'hui - après les débats sur la représentation et le traitement des photographies artistiques et ethnographiques ? En tant qu'étude de cas, Un an et un jour porte son regard sur des images de souris prises en Haïti dans les années 1970, pendant la dictature des Duvalier. Le titre fait référence à la cosmologie du vodou, selon laquelle les âmes vivent sous l'eau pendant un an et un jour avant de se réincarner. Des artistes et des scientifiques approfondissent le contexte historique et méthodologique et mettent en lumière, entre autres, Haïti dans les années 1970, la relation entre l'Allemagne et Haïti et la photographie de rituels. Leonore Mau (1916-2013) a commencé à photographier dans les années 1950 à Hambourg. À partir des années 1960, elle a vécu et voyagé avec l'écrivain Hubert Fichte (1935-1986).

Painting, Photography, and the Digital
This anthology investigates the interconnections between painting, photography, and the digital in contemporary art practices. It brings together 15 contributors, including internationally acclaimed artists Matt Saunders, Clare Strand, Elias Wessel, and Dan Hays, to write about a diverse range of art-making involving medium cross-over. Topics discussed here include reflections on the painted-on-photograph, reordering photographs into paintings, digital collage, printing digital landscapes onto recycled electronic media, viewer immersion in painted virtual reality (VR) worlds, photography created from paint, and the “truth” of the mediums. Underpinned by significant theoretical concepts, the volume provides unique insights into explorations of the mediums’ interconnectivity, which questions the position of the traditional genres. As such, this book is essential reading for practitioners, theorists, and students researching the nature of painting, photography, and digital art practices today.

Language in the Visual Arts
This book discusses text and image relationships in the history of art from ancient times to the contemporary period across a diversity of cultures and geographic areas. Focusing on the use of words in art and words as art forms, thematic chapters include "Pictures in Words/Words in Pictures," "Word/Picture Puzzles," "Picture/Word Puzzles," "Words as Images," "The Power of the Word," and "Monumental and Moving Words." Chapter subsections further explore cross-cultural themes. Examining text and image relationships from the obvious to the elusive, the puzzling to the profound, the minor to the major, the book demonstrates the diverse ways in which images and writing have been combined through the ages, and explores the interplay between visual and written communication in a wide range of thought-provoking examples. A color insert is included. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
