ISBN10: 2842307585, ISBN13: 9782842307585, [publisher: HOEBEKE] Softcover Ce moment où, face à une oeuvre d'art, on ne comprend pas. et où l'on ne veut pas comprendre.Où faute d'expliquer, de décortiquer, on veut avant tout évoquer. Ressentir. Quand cette incompréhension devient une ouverture sur l'Ailleurs. sur la possibilité d'autre chose.CAMERA OBSCURA, la chambre noire. La surface où la lumière se fixe. La surface où elle sculpte nos ombres, les malmène, les transcende, leur donne une finalité.Au milieu des écrans de fumée, les grands cinéastes traquent ces moments suspendus. Le film devient un prisme, un vaisseau entièrement voué à effleurer ces rares instants qui sont. un peu plus. Où une forme de sorcellerie crépite à l'écran. Ces moments fugaces, affleurant à la surface, où le spectateur incrédule déchire un voile et goûte à quelque chose d'immortel. Quelque chose qu'il n'était peut-être pas censé voir.Le livre que vous tenez entre les mains n'est pas une analyse ou un récit historique, bien qu'il en possède certains aspects. C'est une errance fascinée et brumeuse dans la magie des images. - Nombre de page(s) : 192 - Poids : 1162g - Genre : Cinéma, Télévision, Audiovisuel, Presse, Médias

L'auteur s'est attaqué à un sujet épineux : les regards croisés des voyageurs européens en Perse à l'époque Safavide (fin XVIè siècle), la façon dont les Persans ont perçu leur présence et la manière dont ils les ont accueillis chez eux. Il montre assez habilement la difficulté que présente l'écran religieux et les préjugés qui en découlent, de part et d'autre, pour communiquer. Des deux côtés, la religion joue son rôle. Les Persans d'alors montrent plus d'ouverture que les délégués de l'Occident (Daryush Shayegan). - Nombre de page(s) : 214 - Poids : 255g - Genre : Philosophie Textes / Critiques / Essais / Commentaires

ISBN10: 0811806553, ISBN13: 9780811806558, [publisher: Chronicle Books, San Francisco] Hardcover First Edition First impression. Size: 12mo Small. 139 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Dust jacket has been protected by it's Brodart plastic cover. This book is available and ready to be shipped. Invented by two Chinese eccentrics, stolen by Leonardo da Vinci, and exploited by the Dutch painter Vermeer, the camera obscura has a mysterious and eventful past that now appears to be linked to several murders. In a contemporary American city, a beautiful young woman who frequented the camera obscura is found decapitated just beyond the range of its lens. Another visitor to the tourist attraction, a secretive art student, becomes the prime suspect. Watching them all is the man who runs the camera obscura - a black room with a moveable lens to the outside world. From this cliff-top perch he writes the enigmatic history of the camera obscura's invention and its use, all the while unveiling strangely parallel tales of love and obsession. With sharp humor, historical revelations, and increasingly sinister clarity, author David Knowles unfolds this layered and unpredictable tale of duplicity and jealousy and the special powers of the camera obscura.

ISBN10: 2260056245, ISBN13: 9782260056249, [publisher: JULLIARD] Softcover Un matin, un photographe militaire voit arriver, à l'hôpital où il travaille, quatre corps torturés. Puis d'autres, et d'autres encore. Au fil des clichés réglementaires qu'il est chargé de prendre, il observe, caché derrière son appareil photo, son pays s'abîmer dans la terreur. Peu à peu, lui qui n'a jamais remis en cause l'ordre établi se pose des questions. Mais se poser des questions, ce n'est pas prudent. Avec une justesse troublante, ce roman raconte le cheminement saisissant d'un homme qui ose tourner le dos à son éducation et au régime qui a façonné sa vie. De sa discrétion, presque lâche, à sa colère et à son courage insensé, il dit comment il parvient à vaincre la folie qui le menace et à se dresser contre la barbarie. - Nombre de page(s) : 224 - Poids : 284g - Genre : Littérature française Romans Nouvelles Correspondance

ISBN10: 0702235970, ISBN13: 9780702235979, [publisher: University of Queensland Press, St Lucia] Softcover Paperback. Light and shadow, love and loss, the extraordinary and the everyday are captured through the lens of this evocative new collection of fiction. Camera Obscura moves through Greece, Italy and France, across to Japan and into the Australian suburbs, as its characters take journeys into themselves and away from their pasts. A mother's shattered view of the world is healed through her friendship with a blind man, and a mortician, unable to engage in life, finds solace among the dead. A couple plays out the final moments of a fading love, while an old man sets out to rekindle an enduring love from long ago.This is an outstanding collection of short fiction from an award-winning Tasmanian writer. Using a poets's ear and a photographer's eye, Kathryn Lomer infuses her writing with a distinctive irony and an intuitive understanding of the human experience. Australian author.
