Il percorso dei marmi

Clara Moschini
Skira

Le cave di marmo di Candoglia e Ornavasso hanno avuto per la loro contiguità un'evoluzione parallela e simbiotica, sia pure con alterne vicende, dai tempi dei romani ai giorni nostri. Le separa il fiume Toce, ma solo per la qualità e le caratteristiche chimico-fisiche, mentre per tutto il resto, a cominciare dalle loro popolazioni, dalla coltivazione e produzione, hanno sviluppato e continuato la attività per due millenni gestendo la loro disponibilità come generatrici di grande opere artistiche e monumentali, soprattutto in Piemonte e Lombardia. Questo volume documenta lo sviluppo di queste cave, in cui il marmo di Candoglia, per le sue particolari qualità, assume un primato per essere stato impiegato per la realizzazione del Duomo di Milano.

Abandoned Japan

Jordy Meow
Jonglez

Japan is often thought of as a place where the modern world and ancient traditions meet in surprising and fascinating ways. The rapid pace of technological, social and cultural change throughout the 20th century propelled the country forward but left countless establishments, industries and entire towns deserted.

Through his photography Jordy Meow explores these forgotten places and sheds light on a lost world that was thriving just a few decades ago.

Abandoned Japan documents famed ruins (haikyo in Japanese) such as Gunkanjima, the island featured in the Bond movie Skyfall, which once had a population of over 5,000 but is now completely abandoned, and the Disneyland-inspired Nara Dreamland theme park. Beyond these well-known sites, Jordy Meow also takes us on a journey through every aspect of a rapidly disappearing past: from schools and hospitals to industrial sites and nightlife, including strip clubs and love hotels.

The ruins captured here range from the quaint and serene to the dark and nightmarish. Some have an atmosphere reminiscent of the animation films of Studio Ghibli while others seem almost dystopian. These places show that people can leave a lasting mark on their environment but, given the chance, nature finds its way back.

Fabrizio Orsi, Marcello Grassi
Skira

Un omaggio fotografico dedicato al piccolo paese emiliano di Luzzara, ai suoi abitanti e alla sua storia, ritratti nelle belle immagini di Fabrizio Orsi, Marcello Grassi. Un progetto contemporaneo a poco più di cinquant'anni dalla campagna fotografica di Paul Strand e a quasi trent'anni da quella di Gianni Berengo Gardin, che ha visto la luce nel volume Un paese vent'anni dopo pubblicato nel 1976. Luzzara, un paese... Con ostinazione, dal tempo in cui Paul Strand e Cesare Zavattini condivisero il soggetto del loro agire creativo, con precisa e severa ostinazione Luzzara mostra il suo volto, che da allora è insieme unico e assoluto.

La quatrième de couverture indique : "Graines est un voyage dans l'intimité d'une nature étonnante de beauté. Paul Starosta, photographe naturaliste français, est célèbre pour avoir débusqué et mis en lumière le caractère artistique de la nature. Au fil des 200 superbes photographies de ce livre, il nous ouvre à la beauté et à la complexité recelées même par les plus petites des graines. Pour réaliser ses photographies, il a pu s'appuyer sur les collections de Jean Laty et sur celles de l'association La Voie des fleurs à Draveil, en France. Les formes et les couleurs qu'il nous donne à voir sont infinies et les détails stupéfiants. Certaines graines évoquent des fleurs, d'autres des pierres ou des sculptures, d'autres encore des bijoux créés par un orfèvre imaginaire. Par les jeux d'ombre et de lumière, ces images font ressortir l'aspect artistique, presque magique, de ces petits chefs-d'oeuvre qui contiennent le mystère de la vie, concentré à la fois dans le minuscule et l'infiniment grand. Chacune de ces merveilles en évoquant d'autres, on pense en les voyant à des oeuvres d'art ou à des détails architecturaux. L'homme lui-même est nature, et il a toujours été inspiré par elle - quoique parfois indirectement, voire en s'en défendant - pour produire des créations curieuses ou audacieuses. Grâce à ce livre, vous ne regarderez plus la nature de la même façon."

Il secolo dell'avvocato

Marcello Sorgi
Skira Editore

Una galleria di ritratti ripercorre la lunga vita di Gianni Agnelli, personaggio emblematico di un'intera epoca. A cinque anni dalla scomparsa al più grande industriale che il nostro paese abbia avuto, l'italiano più conosciuto e invidiato all'estero, il capo carismatico di una importantissima famiglia imprenditoriale che ha attraversato due secoli di storia senza mai uscire di scena. Modello unico e irripetibile di un'Italia elegante e minoritaria. Grande editore, grande collezionista e amante dell'arte e grande sportivo. Un excursus lungo quasi un secolo attraverso le immagini dell'avvocato "pubblico" e "istituzionale" con le sue passioni per lo sport (Juve, sci, Ferrari e vela), per l'editoria (storico il legame con La Stampa), per la sua Fabbrica e per il suo ruolo politico di senatore a vita.

The stories told with graphics and infographics are now being visualized through photography. Fotoviz shows how these powerful images are depicting correlations, making the invisible visible, and revealing more detail than classic photojournalism. Images are omnipresent in our digital age, but they're worth a closer look. Many of them can tell us stories in new and surprising ways. Fotoviz reveals how infographics and data visualization are currently impacting photography and points to innovative possibilities for the future. Today, data is being visualized through photographic techniques such as long and multiple exposures. Insightful information is being communicated by making a single image out of several different shots or using a 3D perspective. The work featured in Fotoviz, to cite only a few compelling examples, makes invisible Wi-Fi fields visible, allows airport flight activity from a full day to appear as if it were happening at once, and illustrates the average selfietaking behavior of an entire city.

The gift of kings

Loro Piana
Skira Editore

The story of a new Loro Piana excellence, told through the photos of wonderful landscapes and extraordinary people in Australia and New Zealand.

There is excellence nature bestows upon man with an implicit understanding: taking care of, preserving and enhancing its qualities. In order to respect this pact with nature, man must work with her, follow her, understand her and join forces with others. This is the story of "The Gift of Kings", the excellent extrafine wool from merino sheep raised in Australia and New Zealand, thanks to a collaboration between Loro Piana and some of the most expert, cutting-edge breeders in both countries. Wool has achieved unthinkable fineness.

Since ancient times the importance of this material was acknowledged and praised so much it historically became the privilege of kings, hence its name, "The Gift of Kings". This wool gives rise to extraordinary, breathable, all natural, sustainable and light yarn and textiles that keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

"The Gift of Kings" is a rare and precious product man has jealously guarded. Thanks to Loro Piana, and the support given to breeders and special practices aimed at merino sheep, it has achieved excellence.

A slow, complex, laborious process involves entire communities that revolve around the magnificent farms in New Zealand and Australia, with which Loro Piana has collaborated for years, supporting and encouraging the efforts aimed at quality and excellence.

This book portrays, through images, the stunning landscapes and extraordinary people, along with the emotions and passions of their teamwork, in a relationship based on trust with Loro Piana and those who for generations have lovingly taken care of these sheep, the gift of kings and of nature.
