A repository of observations, anecdotes, obsessions, jokes and koan like stories, the diary registers Cage’s assessment of the times in which he lived as well as his often uncanny predictions about the world we live in now. With a great sense of play as well as purpose, Cage traverses vast territory, from postwar music to Watergate, from domestic minutiae to ideas on how to feed the world.

After two years they had 23 chapters in 100,000 words. ‘Brakhage’s Childhood’ is a remarkable achievement conceptually, intellectually and aesthetically and provides crucial insight into his early life.

From outrageously manipulated digital photographs to studio shots with exotic backgrounds we see, in this collection, Martin Parr’s very own sense of humor and irony. Realized by professional photographers, local amateurs, or even in a photo booth, these portraits, each more kitsch than the other, never cease to surprise.

Since the 1970s, he has chosen photography as a tool for the representation of modern life. Generally printed in very large format, his works are compared to paintings. Carefully composed, usually ‘acted out’ by actors selected according to their likeness, with scenes from real life, his images are always on the fringe. In his own words, ‘almost documentary.’

Like many French intellectuals, she was fascinated by this island and its charismatic leader. She wanted to make a film to understand this particular mix of pure socialism, sensuality and cha-cha-cha. In order to preserve her freedom of movement, she traded film for still photography, with the idea of subsequently filming and reanimating her photographs with a rostrum camera.

For this work, Olivier Culmann chose to use his own image as a tool to explore social fantasies and the questions of self and otherness. Fascinated by popular imagery and codes of staged photography, he used as a base material a series of portraits rendering the variety of components contributing to building individual identity: religion, caste, social class, occupation and regional origin.

The idea of this new publication by Mark Pimlott originates from a series of lectures given to students on ‘The Architecture of the Interior’ course at Delft University of Technology. As the public interior dominates the experience of public environments in our time, realms currently dominated by infrastructure or commercial interests, its consideration is essential for all those involved in their making and use. The public interior, as a place in the World for people to be themselves with others, has been designed, and is thus inscribed within culture and its ideas. It seems very important to attend to and discuss these ideas of the public interior, congruous with those of architecture, as they have been embodied within it across time and function.
