This book is a revised and enlarged version of the original maquette for Josef Koudelkas book Cikani (Czech for Gypsies), prepared by Koudelka and graphic designer Milan Kopriva in 1968, and intended for publication in Prague in 1970. However, Koudelka left Czechoslovakia in 1970, and the book was never published in that original form. Koudelkas stark images depict the poverty and clannishness of Gypsy life, but he does not present their situation as a social problem that should somehow be fixed. Instead, he shows the Gypsies as perpetual outsiders, and their lives as a primal mix of glee and wonder, sorrow and mystery. This extended version of the seminal 'Gitans, la fin du voyage' consists of 109 photographs taken between 1962 and 1971 in what was Czechoslovakia (Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia), Romania, Hungary, France and Spain. Sociologist Will Guy, author of the text that accompanied the first publication of Gypsies, has contributed an updated essay, tracing the migration of the Roma from their original homeland in northern India, to their current status one that continues to be contested internationally.

About Exiles, Cornell Capa once wrote, Koudelka's unsentimental, stark, brooding, intensely human imagery reflects his own spirit, the very essence of an exile who is at home wherever his wandering body finds haven in the night. In this newly revised and expanded edition of the 1988 classic, which includes ten new images and a new commentary with Robert Delpire, Koudelka's work once more forms a powerful document of the spiritual and physical state of exile. The sense of private mystery that fills these photographs—mostly taken during Koudelka's many years of wandering through Europe and Great Britain since leaving his native Czechoslovakia in 1968—speaks of passion and reserve, of his rage to see. Solitary, moving, deeply felt and strangely disturbing, the images in Exiles suggest alienation, disconnection and love. Exiles evokes some of the most compelling and troubling themes of the twentieth century, while resonating with equal force in this current moment of profound migrations and transience.

Brenner, Ewald, Kollar, Koudelka, Lee, Peress, Sheikh, Shore, Solomon, Struth, Wall, Waplington This Place This Place explores the complexity of Israel and the West Bank, as place and metaphor, through the eyes of twelve internationally acclaimed photographers, each of whom use photography to ask essential questions about culture, society and the inner lives of individuals. The photographers, all outsiders to Israeli and Palestinian society, represent an array of nationalities, cultures, and visual grammars; they are Frédéric Brenner, Wendy Ewald, Martin Kollar, Josef Koudelka, Jungjin Lee, Gilles Peress, Fazal Sheikh, Stephen Shore, Rosalind Solomon, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, and Nick Waplington As each artist pursues their own line of investigation, what emerges is a dissonant and startling portrait; together, the highly individualised works combine to create not a single, monolithic vision, but rather a diverse and fragmented portrait, alive to all the rifts and paradoxes of this important and much contested space. This book accompanies a monumental exhibition, curated by Charlotte Cotton, which features more than 600 images, all newly-commissioned work, the product of four years of artist residencies. It includes an essay by the curator and extensive interviews with each of the participating artists. To accompany a touring exhibition: 24 October 2014 - 2 March 2015: DOX: Centre for Contemporary Art, Prague 14 May - 6 September 2015: Tel Aviv Museum of Art 15 October 2015 - 15 January 2016: Norton Museum of Art, Florida

XAVIER BARRAL

En 1986, il commence à utiliser un appareil photo au format panoramique et participe à la mission photographique de la DATAR, dont l’objectif est de «?représenter le paysage français des années 1980?». Il sillonne alors la France, puis le monde entier, pour rendre compte de l’influence de l’homme moderne sur le paysage. Le livre est composé de quarante photographies panoramiques choisies par l’artiste et François Hébel parmi les plus emblématiques de ce thème. Ces images, prises sur tous les continents, témoignent des grands travaux humains, allant des usines aux carrières, en passant par d’énormes complexes miniers et des zones abandonnées. Les photographies transportent le lecteur dans des zones inaccessibles et méconnues, entre désolation et curiosité, pour rendre compte de l’imposante réalité de l’industrie. Forte de cette esthétique photographique caractéristique du travail de Koudelka, cette selection donne à voir un imposant travail en noir et blanc. L’ouvrage paraît à l’occasion  de l’exposition éponyme au festival Foto/Industria de Bologne, biennale photographique internationale créée en 2013, où les expositions investissent la ville pendant près de trois mois.

In this collection of panoramic photographs, Josef Koudelka takes as his subject the vast river delta south of Arles, France.

Koudelka's bucolic compositions eloquently capture the wild, isolated feel of the place. Stiff cardboard cover, accordion bound. 54 pages; b&w plates; 11.75 x 9.25 inches. Text in French.

Book Description\nCe livre rassemble un choix d'images panoramiques qui illustre bien la singularité de Koudelka. Ce sont des plans tout en longueur, des compositions géométriques partagées entre les ténèbres et la clarté, l'ombre et la lumière. Ces images font le constat virulent de l'anarchie que l'homme impose à la nature et s'impose à lui-même, elles composent un espace onirique, un « ailleurs » déserté, non daté, à peine situé. Voilà tout un monde minéralisé, débarrassé de ses hommes, chaotique, marqué par les désastres. Et, au bout du compte, c'est un autre paysage qui est recomposé, un autre décor, façonné par l'oeil du photographe.\nFrom the Back Cover\nCe livre rassemble un choix d'images panoramiques qui illustre bien la singularité de Koudelka.
