Chaque cliché est une énigme, la capture d’un instant figé à jamais. Mais que s’est-il passé avant ? Après ? La collection PHOTO relate les histoires perdues, les secrets de fabrication et les parti-pris qui ont marqué l’aventure de cet art, de ses débuts à nos jours.

Few subjects evoke as much controversy nowadays as the subject of food. The world's population continues to grow, and with the rise in prosperity comes an ever greater need for food that can be trusted. Inevitably, it seems, this means both an increase in scale and unceasing technological innovation, with unpredictable results at times. If critical documentary makers point out the pitfalls, false assumptions and deception in the food industry, the branch itself advertises its wares with nostalgic images of cows in the meadow and heads of corn swaying in the morning sun. Images that the consumer all too willingly embraces. Meanwhile, scandals in the food chain fuel our desire for a transparent world where food can once more be cultivated reliably and at a modest scale. The present lack of transparency and the fact that few know the real state of play have elicited the widest range of opinions about how our food can best be produced. The one scientific study refutes conclusions drawn in the other. Indeed, the issue is so complex and inclusive that every discussion seems doomed to sink under its own weight. For *Food*, Henk Wildschut immersed himself in the world of today's farmer whom he originally saw as the most important innovator in the food production process. But even here appearances are deceptive: farmers are often forced to switch to a method of husbandry where efficiency and scaling-up are the name of the game, all under the banner of public health, food safety, the environment and animal welfare. This holds equally for organically produced food. In his endeavour to get to grips with the production and processing of food Wildschut, rather than restricting himself to modern farming, also directs his quest at vegetable breeders and cultivators, stock farms, hatcheries, fish farms, laboratories, inspection bodies and suppliers of abattoir equipment. Theirs is a squeaky-clean world where rules, regulations and protocols are riveted together in the stainless-steel abstraction of the industrial scheme of things; a world that often seems such a far cry from the food itself. Henk Wildschut is an impassioned photographer, yet in his work idealism cedes to perceptive, realistic images that give us cause to reconsider previously held ideas. The lack of sentiment makes his work pure and emotive. In 2003 he and fellow photographer Raimond Wouda took pictures of the Indian crew of the chemical tanker Sandrien La Paz, which was detained in the Port of Amsterdam by the Dutch authorities for over eighteen months. In 2011 Wildschut won the prestigious Dutch Doc Award for Shelter, a project for which he spent years photographing the temporary shelters of illegal immigrants in Europe.

The seventh volume of C Photo, Photographicness, is an introduction to the photographic language of fourteen artists who are undergoing new explorations into the material qualities of the medium and the image‐making process. Each artist has developed a portfolio that reveals their work processes, emphasising the way in which they carry out their current investigations and specific projects. This publication is the result of the diversity of their approaches, which provide a constellation of ideas that are as thoughtful as they are materially inventive. Foreword by Elena Ochoa Foster. Texts by Charlotte Cotton, Barbara Kasten, and Lorenzo Durantini.

Der österreichische Photochemiker und -historiker Josef Maria Eder (1855-1944) verkörpert in mancher Hinsicht die Summe der photographischen Kultur des 19. Jahrhunderts. Er wird in Photographie als Wissenschaft mit eigenen programmatischen Texten sowie Beiträgen seiner Zeitgenossen vorgestellt, die seine Position als Schulgründer, sein Verhältnis zur Idee der Photographie als Kunst und sein Konzept der Geschichte der Photographie beleuchten. Im Zentrum steht dabei die nach Eders Entwurf 1888 eröffnete „K.k. Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt für Photographie und Reproductionsverfahren“, die ein äußerst breit gefächertes Spektrum von Aus- und Weiterbildungsmöglichkeiten für Hochschulstudenten wie Lehrlinge, Amateure und Professoren ebenso wie für Angestellte photographischer und druckgraphischer Betriebe bieten sollte. Als weit über Österreich hinaus beachtete Institution von enzyklopädischer Perspektive war sie die Plattform, von der aus Eder Wien um 1900 als Zentrum der wissenschaftlichen Photographie und anderer moderner Bildtechnologien etablierte.

Simoneau charts his love affair with a U.S. soldier. Sequenced to mimic the disjointed nature of memory and identity, the project reveals how our perceptions of ourselves and our loved ones are always a blend of past and present. Ultimately, Simoneau reveals the lasting impact–the invisible, indelible, and often irreversible effects that both love and war have on people’s lives.
