Essay by
Roberta Valtorta.
"For many years a refined photographer of landscapes, Giovanni
Zaffagnini presents provocatively torn photographic images, forcing

fragmentation."-

Return, Afghanistan
Zalmaï
2004, Aperture
11.75" x 8", 128 pp.
List price: $39.95

For more than a quarter of a century, Afghanistan
has been ravaged by war, drought, and famine. In this magnificent
volume, Zalmaï, Afghan-born photographer, returns after twenty-three
years in exile to rediscover his homeland at a crucial moment of
transition. Working in rich color, and frequently using a panoramic
format that embraces the vastness of the sky and sand, Zalmaï
immerses us in the ravaged landscape and the bustle of reconstruction.
“My project tries to capture the resilience of a people who
have rarely known peace, their optimism in the face of overwhelming
odds and the very real worry that the country remains on a knife-edge
and could easily slip back into a nightmare from which it is still
trying to escape.” |

Introduction
by Bill T. Jones
Essays

Lois Welk
"Arnie
Zane (1948-1988) is best known for his seventeen-year personal and
artistic partnership with choreographer Bill T. Jones. Their creative
interchange defined each other's artistic vision and led to one
of the most celebrated collaborations in late-twentieth-century
dance. The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company continues to bear
Zane's name and to be inspired by his spirit. Continuous Replay,
which is titled after a dance work of Zane's, is the first comprehensive
presentation of his photography. Zane took up the camera in earnest
in 1971, the year he and Jones met. His photography examines the
body's physicality, sexual identity, and potential for beauty and
decay. The design of the book and of its associated exhibition--which
will travel widely within the United States--reflects Zane's aesthetic
strategies and the dynamic interplay between his art and life, photography
and dance, his collection of found images and his own photographs,
and his self-portraits and images of others. The core of the book
consists of six portfolios that present Zane's photographs side
by side with his artwork, sketches, performance notes, snapshots
of Bill and Arnie, and video stills and photos of the company in
action. The portfolios are interpreted through writings by friends,
dancers, curators, and historians from the worlds of photography,
art, and dance." |

Marco
Zata: The Space Between Photographs About Japan,
Marco Zanta
2002, Charta
11" x 10", 72 pp.
List price: 29.95 |
Essays by
Emmanuel Hermange
"Slow and contemplative then fast-paced and frantic, Marco
Zanta's photographic eye roams the urban landscapes of Tokyo, Osaka,
and Kyoto. Zanta shows us a Japan in which descriptions give way
to images, in which memory and the senses are primary. Industrial
worlds, religious faiths, and constant contradictions unravel uninterrupted."

Marco
Zanta: Red Noise,
Marco Zanta
2001, Charta
13" x 9.5", 80 pp.
List price: $35.00 |
"The
photographic research offered by architectural photographer Marco
Zanta focuses on contemporary industrial sites. Zanta has inherited
and synthesized the language of Italian culture as well as the more
recent and liberatory philosophies of contemporary American photography.
His photography has previously been presented in the volume Venezia-Marghera:
Photography and Transformations in the Contemporary City,
published by Charta in 1997. This new book offers a comprehensive
selection of Zanta’s project, begun in the 1980s, to explore
the changing landscape of the world of work. As critic Italo Zannier
puts it: “Zanta…sometimes enhances the clearness of
detail with his large format camera, which imposes on him, long,
passionate, solitary reflections on the ground glass and which always
stimulate him to search for implicitly existential structures, which
in the end suggest melancholy, remoteness of spaces, ‘spectralizations,’
as the Futurist Tato would have said, looking at these pictures.”

Andreas
Zust: Roundabouts,
Andreas Zust
2004, Scalo Verlag
6.25" x 9.5", 128 pp.
List price: $49.95 |
"For
years, Andreas Züst, the late photographer, meteorologist,
publisher, collector, and patron of the arts, took photographs of
roundabouts in Europe, America, and Asia. Almost everything can
manifest itself in the center of a roundabout--advertisements for
local businesses, historical allegories, artworks, craft, monuments
to ruling ideologies and religions--endowing this non-place with
a meaning that we only casually glimpse while driving by, as though
man could not abide a void. These wry photographs, with their delight
in the absurd, are a prime example of an anthropology of everyday
and popular culture, inviting the reader to reflect on cultural
and social differences, vernacular culture, and man's horror of
the void. At the time of his premature death, Züst was preparing
the publication of this book." - 95 color. |
