Grand voyageur, Ralph Gibson aime à travailler par séries, par associations inspirées d’images, pour produire des rêveries monochromes ou en couleur dont les titres – The Somnambulist, Déjà-vu, Days at Sea ou Chiaroscuro – soulignent la sensibilité poétique particulière qui sous-tend son œuvre. Après des débuts en 1960 aux côtés de Dorothea Lange, il débarque à New York en 1967 et ne tarde pas à atteindre la même notoriété que Larry Clark et Diane Arbus.Les photos et séries parlent bien sûr d’elles-mêmes. Cependant Gibson considère qu’une philosophie se joue derrière l’image et il présente sa thèse dans les textes brefs intégrés au recueil. Nus, portraits, natures mortes, documentaires : fidèle à son Leica, Gibson navigue entre les genres et crée de nouvelles catégories de vision. Il avance au plus près des choses et médite à leur propos d’une manière qui ne peut passer que par le silence de l’image. Réalisé en étroite collaboration avec l’artiste, ce livre présente le meilleur de plus de six décennies de création. Des premières photographies de Ralph Gibson à San Francisco, Hollywood et New York dans les années 1960 jusqu’à nos jours, cet ouvrage offre la collection la plus complète de ce photographe de grand renom.
En 1983, le créateur de mode japonais Issey Miyake déclarait au New Yorker qu’il aspirait à « toujours aller de l’avant, briser le moule ». Avec les collections iconoclastes qu’il présente ensuite, il ne se contente pas de briser le moule, c’est le vêtement lui-même qu’il refond. Ses créations fusionnent poésie et pragmatisme et brouillent les frontières entre tradition, technologie et fonction quotidienne.Cette histoire de la mode selon Miyake de 1960 à 2022 pose un regard expert sur l’audace et la vision du créateur. Initié et conçu par Midori Kitamura, le livre s’intéresse aux matériaux et techniques que Miyake place au cœur d’une démarche centrée sur la texture depuis le tout début de sa carrière, avant même la création du Miyake Design Studio. Puisant dans presque 50 années de collaboration avec Miyake, Kitamura a élaboré une encyclopédie de référence de ses innovations techniques et matérielles à partir des vêtements créés selon le concept A Piece of Cloth, ceux des Body Series des années 1980, des collections Miyake Pleats, et de pièces aussi pratiques et quotidiennes que ses Pleats Please.Des photos saisissantes immortalisent des créations animées par cette originalité de tous les jours, si particulière. Dans un essai passionnant, la directrice artistique Kazuko Koike, personnalité culturelle de premier plan, propose à la fois une chronologie complète du travail de Miyake et un portrait plus personnel que jamais du créateur, en décrivant l’ambition et les inspirations qui guident son répertoire depuis sa plus tendre adolescence. Cet hommage intemporel à un des couturiers les plus novateurs de notre temps devrait être dans les bibliothèques de tous les créateurs, étudiants et passionnés de mode !

'Cynthia Enloe is a force to be reckoned with and utterly tireless. Her work has long spanned intersectional analyses of gender, race and class...she repeatedly questions which things society pays attention to and which we consider insignificant. She is an inspiration.' Laura Bates 'A triumph' Chatham House Twelve Feminist Lessons of War draws on sharp insights of women as survivors, activists and scholars from Ukraine to Sudan and Myanmar to show how diverse women's experiences of war must be taken seriously if we are to prevent and shorten wars and make gender justice central to recovering from wars. Women's wars are not men's wars. Wartime shapes the gendered politics of marriage, prostitution, journalism, economics, childcare, domestic violence and rape. Enloe's razor-sharp analysis highlights how understanding this can prevent wars and even end them. With fresh, fierce and vital thinking, she shows that by paying more attention to the wounded and the women who care for them, we will be more realistic about the long 'post-war'; and that by listening to feminists on the ground, in Ukraine and elsewhere, we will better understand what is happening to our world. Cynthia is one of only 100 women named on the Gender Justice Wall in The Hague. Autorid: Cynthia Enloe
