By Lucy Mulroney. One of the earliest functions of photographically illustrated books was to chart lands, both known and unknown. In the 1850s and '60s, photography was often used to index a nation's cultural heritage, to document travel in foreign locales, and to report back to colonial governments. During this time period, Captain Linnaeus Tripe of the British East India Company produced the

This #7 is a bit of a special issue, all the pictures were taken during a week spent hanging out with Bernard Plossu around his home, near Marseille.Plossu is a solid handrail between American and European photography, he has published many great books since the 1970's, his most famous being Le Voyage Mexicain (1979), another favorite of mine is Forget Me Not (2002).REMORA#7 is here.All the

Mårten Lange: I first came in contact with your work through your book Landmasses and Railways. I was fascinated by the structure of the book; it is built very much like a novel, divided into chapters. Have you ever worked with text? How do you think the narrative of your book relates to that of a novel? Bertrand Fleuret: I was more focused on creating an imaginary world and make it coherent

By Nicholas Calcott. One of the pleasures of going to Arles for the photofestival is not so much the exhibitions, which pretty consistently disappoint, but rather to hang out with a bunch of other photographers and talk about their work. This year, among many other highlights, I had long conversations with Olivier Cablat, Thomas Manneke, Adam Etmanski, Ken Schles (with whom a conversation that

I owe so much to Markus Schaden, he's been showing my books everywhere from the day I published The Risk of an Early Spring in 2005, and he invited me to do the opening of his new store with a book signing.Seeing Landmasses and Railways displayed in the front window was as good as it gets.If you like photography you must run, run, run to Albertusstrasse #4 in Cologne, Germany. The new store is

By Sebastian Hau.Bertrand Fleuret has published his second book at the small, Atlanta-based publisher J&L Books, and it’s another daring exploration of travel and mystery. It’s a medium-format book, comparable to his debut, in black-and-white, in which a cascade of images washes away most of what you’ve seen before. Surely Fleuret has his inspirations in photography (as diverse as Lee Friedlander

Wandering, as if at random, among the unrecognizable fragments of what were palatial homes, public buildings, private residences, gaming houses and houses of prostitution, theatres, temples, and fountains.
