HARRY GRUYAERT Between Worlds ENG.
, Thames and Hudson , 2022 Hardcover, 144 pages, ENG, 290 x 235 mm, NEW, with 75 illustrations in colour /b/w. ISBN 9780500025758.
A new collection from the award-winning Magnum photographer. A master of colour-saturated images, Harry Gruyaert has roamed the world searching for the perfect light for more than forty years. His very intuitive and physical sense of place immerses the spectator in a world that borrows simultaneously from the cinematic universe and from that of the painter. Dissolving the boundaries between the exterior and interior, Between Worlds offers just such a sensory immersion. No matter the setting, the country or the era, Gruyaert deploys a luminous alchemy suspended in time. Where are we? It doesn't matter: in Gruyaert's world, the pleasure of getting lost reigns.

Ma tre des ambiances satur es de couleurs, Harry Gruyaert arpente, depuis plus de quarante ans, le monde en qu te de la lumi re d cisive. Ma tre des ambiances satur es de couleurs, Harry Gruyaert arpente, depuis plus de quarante ans, le monde en qu te de la lumi re d cisive. Son rapport tr s intuitif et physique aux lieux immerge le spectateur dans un univers qui emprunte la fois au monde du cin ma et celui de la peinture. " Une bonne photo est une photo qui dit beaucoup de choses sur le lieu et le moment o elle a t faite ", pr cise le photographe. L'espace donc ? sa complexit , la perception que nous en avons, sa plasticit ? est l' gal de la couleur une composante majeure des images de Gruyaert, comme si la dualit entre couleur et spatialit ? sujet majeur des beaux-arts des si cles pr c dents ? se dissolvait pour au final cr er une oeuvre o seul importe le plaisir de l'immersion. Basculer dans l'image, dissoudre les fronti res entre espaces ext rieur et int rieur, monde clos ou au contraire ouvert sur l'ailleurs : Between Worlds offre une immersion sensorielle. Peu importe les lieux (boutiques, gares, caf s, m tros, chambres d'h tel, malls...), les pays (Europe, Moyen-Orient, Asie, tats-Unis, Afrique...), l' poque (des ann es 1970 aujourd'hui), le photographe d ploie ici l'essence m me de son criture visuelle : une alchimie lumineuse dans un temps suspendu. O sommes-nous ? Peu importe, seul r gne le d lice de se perdre. Au fil d'un editing r alis comme un " carottage " dans ses archives, Harry Gruyaert montre qu'au-del du merveilleux coloriste qu'il est, ses images, avec leurs jeux de transparences et de mise en abyme, racontent aussi l'illusion du monde.

Images in the Borderlands. The Mediterranean between Christian and Muslim Worlds in the Early Modern Period
, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 310 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:21 b/w, 58 col., 1 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503595085.
Summary This volume offers a unique exploration into the cultural history of the Mediterranean in the Early Modern Period by examining the region through the prism of Christian-Muslim encounters and conflicts and the way in which such relationships were represented in art works from the time. Taking images from the period as its starting point, this interdisciplinary work draws together contributors from fields as varied as cultural history, art history, archaeology, and the political sciences in order to reconstruct the history of a region that was often construed in the Early Modern period as a 'borderland' between religions. From discussions of borders as both physical construction and mental construct in the Mediterranean to case studies exploring the Battle of Lepanto, and from analyses of art work produced from the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries to a consideration of the influence of the Ottoman Empire in the Mediterranean Basin, the chapters gathered together in this insightful volume provide a new approach to our understanding of Early Modern Mediterranean history.

CONGO AS FICTION : Art Worlds Between Past and Present.
, Scheidegger (ACC), 2020 HB, 279 x 228 mm, 328 pages, ENG edition, ISBN 9783858818355.
Investigates comprehensively how Congolese artists have been exploring and reflecting upon the effects of globalised trade, colonialism, proselytisation, and virtual boundaries Features many previously unpublished works by Congolese artists both contemporary and the 19th and early 20th centuries Congo's vibrant art scene attracts great worldwide interest A single Congo does not exist - or is in any case fictitious. Yet the Democratic Republic of Congo has an extraordinarily vibrant art scene that attracts great interest from around the world. Nowhere else in Africa art production is as manifold in form, media, and materials used. For many years, Congolese artists have been exploring and reflecting upon the effects of globalised trade, colonialism, proselytisation, and virtual boundaries. As the works of artists such as Sammy Baloji or Sinzo Aanza demonstrate, these effects never before were more topical than today. For the first time, this book, which is published in conjunction with an exhibition at Zurich's Museum Rietberg, features objects and photographs collected by the German anthropologist Hans Himmelheber during his journey to the Congo in 1938-39. The coloured masks, imposing figures, and richly decorated everyday objects bear witness to the period's extraordinary creativity and innovativeness as well as of the collector's own idea of Congo. They are juxtaposed with works by contemporary Congolese artists and complemented by essays that investigate the fiction of Congo both as an African and Western World imagination. Thus, the book links the past with the utopia of contemporary artistic production in central Africa. Published to accompany the exhibition Congo as Fiction: Art Worlds Between Past and Present at Museum Rietberg, Zurich, between 22 November 2019 and 15 March 2020.
