Over the course of five decades, Marc Riboud (1923-2016) has painted a fascinating and vivid portrait of China, drawing on a rich and unique back catalogue consisting of hundreds of black and white and colour images and accompanied by a host of anecdotes, which trace the revolution (in the fullest sense of the word) which has occurred in this country. His images are full of beauty, strength and truth.
The book retraces the journey of photographer Marc Riboud and journalist Jean Daniel in November 1963 in Cuba, meeting with Fidel Castro. Marc Riboud left the day before the assassination of J.F. Kennedy. Jean Daniel was there when Castro heard of the news. Foreword by Wim Wenders
The “patient passerby”, Robert Doisneau is famous for his street photographs in Paris. He also spent time in the circuses and fairgrounds, showing the travelling fair from both the stands and the wings, conveying the full wonder of the performing fleas or the mountains of muscle on display under the astonished eyes of children and adults alike. A wonderful work, with photos almost never published before.
Sabine Weiss is the last remaining representative of the post-war French humanist school. A ubiquitous figure on the post-war French art scene; This complete monography documents her life and work through photographs, films, and original documents.
The idea is simple: based on his own photographs (along with images and a short bio of two or three key books), the author demonstrates why the vision of photography greats, including Diane Arbus, Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, August Sander, and Stephen Shore, carries weight today – and is essential, even, to amateur photographers.

7/7 Guillaume Herbaut Hardbound 280 x 230 mm 168 pages 5 000 words €40 Fall 2016
A poetic and photographic journey throughout Paris. Michel Setboun’s black and white pictures explore Paris in the footsteps of Doisneau, Prévert, Léo Ferré, Brassaï, through shadows and lights, rain and sun, between the Seine and sandlots and show a new side of the eternal photogenic city…
Travelling around the world, Frédéric Soltan and Dominique Rabotteau have gathered photos of the most diverse cities in the world, to show the contradictions, the beauty and to give food for thought on the world of tomorrow.
After Silencio exploring deserted places of city life, Thomas Jorion devoted the new part of his work to the skeleton of what used to be one of the XIXth and XXth century European “empires”. A haunting journey into the architectural remains of French colonialism (Cambodia, Senegal, China…), driving us into a universal reflection on the ephemeral aspects of our societies and political organizations. Thomas Jorion invites us to a journey in vast no man’s urban lands, devoid of any human presence but still permeated with the life of their gone inhabitants. Through 150 photographs from all over the globe, he captures all the strangeness and poetry of these places and takes us on a silent pilgrimage on the steps of the relics of our history.
Young French photographer Guillaume Herbaut’s work focuses on the effects of History on people, whether it is war, industrial catastrophes or century-old oppressive social systems. Revenge laws in Albania, women’s mass murders in Ciudad Juarez, how to live today in Auschwitz, Nagasaki, or Tchernobyl, Herbaut’s art of framing captures the life made impossible by the weight of history on the shoulders of the living. A powerful and unforgettable testimony that questions our links to the past and the notion of collective responsibility.

A wonderful and poetical collection of XIXth century photos, picturing a past and gone Northern Africa (Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon). Selected from the famous French Roger-Viollet agency, these portraits unveil a world remained close to its antique roots—ancient costumes, street scenes, landscapes. A visual and spiritual journey in the East enlightened by the dialogue between a Jewish and a Muslim historian (to be confirmed).
For now 50 years, the mythical couple of photographers Roland and Sabrina Michaud have devoted their life to the study of Asian and Islamic cultures in a fervent quest for beauty, wisdom and absoluteness. This book presents a complete retrospective of their work. A true inspiration and models for a whole generation of photographers, Roland and Sabrina live in Paris, without computer nor cell phone.
Following his years-long work and fascination for the Omo valley peoples in Ethiopia, award-winning Hans Silvester has gathered a complete report on a disappearing custom, that of the children keeping cattle. With a rare sense of poetry, Hans Silvester shows the exceptional connection existing between the Suri children, their cattle and their natural environment. Probably Silvester’s last book on the Omo valley, this title constitutes a major celebration of the beauty of nature, childhood and Africa.
By the major photographer Hans Silvester, a book on tribal decorations from the Omo valley in Ethiopia, a priceless record of a unique and increasingly fragile way of life, threatened by conflicts, climate change and tourism.
Multiple award-winning Magnum photographer Bruno Barbey has documented the world with a profound and sensitive eye for over 50 years of travels. This sumptuous monograph displays his most important works as a photojournalist, and acute witness of the tormented history of our world.

Kosuke Okahara is a young but already largely awarded Japanese photographer living in France. On the aftermath of Fukushima’s disaster, he has returned to his native land to testify. Destroyed houses, deserted streets, desolation, silence. And yet slowly, little by little, life is taking over. A contemplative yet striking journey into another world.
Darcy Padilla is an American photojournalist and documentary photographer. Her awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Getty Images Grant for Editorial Photography and a previous World Press Photo award in 2011 among others. Family Love is one of these intense books that keep you silent for a long time after closing it, and a unique companionship between a photographer following his model in her fight against her fate of “off the grid” woman in San Francisco streets. Who has never spent time looking out through the window, peeping at what is happening in the room in front, making up scenarios and imaginary lives? Through 60 photographs, Gail Albert Halaban offers an exclusive look into Paris, its architecture and inhabitants. Her lenses tell us of the life in the French capital, as well as of our human condition.
Liu Bolin is a chameleon. From body art to photography and sculpture, from the Popular Republic of China to the West, he uses a wide range of art forms and manages to hide himself inside the backgrounds surrounding him. This book is the first complete monograph to this day of this major Chinese artist.

This book adopts an original parallel approach to The Interpretation of Dreams, courtesy of a psychoanalyst who is an expert on dreams (and on Freud), who has selected the most significant extracts from the original text, and of a renowned illustrator, whose talents give vivid expression to the words of Freud.

The book will explore the great diversity and creativity in the field of animated movies in France. A proper French style exists, providing artists and designers to the American studios. The story started in France 125 years ago, before the invention of cinema.
The companion book to an exhibition in end 2017 in Paris will recount everything there is to know about special effects today: from the previz (story board) to the animation of characters, creating decors (matte painting), how to make up a digital character, sound designing…
Nothing in Marcello’s upbringing and poor origins would predestinate him to his extraordinary acting career. After years spent on stage under Visconti’s direction, he became Federico Fellini’s alter ego and that of all the great Italian directors, but also starred for Louis Malle, John Boorman, Robert Altman, Manoel de Oliviera… Reknown Italian specialist Jean A. Gili retells this fabulous story and this unforgettable character for the 20th anniversary of his passing away in 1996.
This book offers an outstanding exploration of French cinema by journalist and film expert, Jean-Luc Douin. 130 films are analyzed in a chronological order allowing the reader to understand the evolution of an art, made of a succession of strong aesthetic movements (poetic realism, the new wave), in which artists (painters, photographers, illustrators, poets, writers) played an important role and that continues to influence filmmakers around the world.
