NEW YORK, NY (November 16, 2009)– MC2 Gallery (Milan, Italy) in collaboration with Leica Gallery New York (New York, USA), Leica Ginza Salon (Tokyo, Japan), Galerie Photo 4 (Paris, France) and Vision Quest Gallery (Genoa) announces the photography book release of Tokyo Untitled, by Italian photographer Renato D’Agostin, with afterwords by Eikoh Hosoe and Ralph Gibson.
In Tokyo Untitled D’Agostin isolates himself in the geometries of the Japanese city. He narrates his journey through his experience of the street, describing with the language of abstract images, charged of deep blacks and sharp edges. Dislocating subjects from their realities, D'Agostin depicts his perception of the space around him, the relationship between the city's architecture and its people, and their interferences. This is emphasized in Tokyo, according to D'Agostin, where he has no reference or connection with the external world, and his sense of disconnection brings him to a discovery of the unseen.
"Tokyo Untitled" photographs bring me back to the destroyed Tokyo as it appeared right after the war ended. It may be totally impossible for young Renato to imagine that his "Tokyo Untitled" reminds me of such tragic images as Tokyo's air raid attack which happened 64 years ago.–Eikoh Hosoe.
These images are the thinnest possible slices of inconceivable urban density. Slices so thin that they must be measured in fractions of light, tiny microscopic moments of DNA in time taken from the huge archeology of a true metropolis.–Ralph Gibson.
Tokyo Untitled will be released early November, marking the third published photography book by D’Agostin. Tokyo Untitled will be launched in conjunction with a travelling exhibition to debut at the Galerie Photo 4, Paris on November 5, Leica Ginza Salon, Tokyo on November 12, Leica Gallery, New York on November 18, and FORMA in collaboration with MC2 Gallery, Milan, February 2010.
Le 24 mars 1976, le peuple argentin subit un coup d’état militaire. C’est le début d’une ère de répression sanglante, où quelque 30 000 personnes disparaissent et près de 500 bébés sont volés. Mais s’ouvre également une période d’ultralibéralisme d&ea...

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
