INSIDE VIEWS is a monograph that traces the reflection that photographer Floriane de Lassée has made on the city as we know it today: disproportionate, vertical, it is that of the megalopolis where the individual has been slowly caught up. Through her images of a fantasized city, Floriane de Lassée does not make any inventory. But constructs her own aesthetic of the city, a falsely neutral point of view, marked by a visual game with several planes, by the preponderant role of color, the geometrization of facades, by the choice of perspectives and daring frames. The city becomes a field of experimentation that she transforms into a reservoir of signs by the choice of a specific device. "The city as a privileged photographic territory appears from the birth of photography (even if the first image, that of Niepce, is rural)," recalls Gilles Mora. "From then on, the medium never ceases to accompany and document the city and its transformations, the events that punctuate its existence, the monuments, and more rarely the banality of its daily life or its spaces without qualities," adds Thierry Bonzon. Floriane de Lassée, as an attentive observer of the world and social relationships, brings her stone to the fascinating edifice of urban photography, which is only a confrontation of the medium with reality. As for any artist, it is always and still a question of "coinciding with the contemporary world and integrating it into art (...) and inventing absolutely new forms of expression". Here, each "view", like a Hopper painting, is a story in itself where one can project oneself until the night fades and the lights disappear.

Nathan Lyons: Selected Essays, Lectures, and Interviews
<p> As a curator, theorist, educator, artist, and powerful advocate, <i>Nathan Lyons</i> has played a central role in the expansion of photography over the last five decades. After producing seminal exhibitions and publications as curator at George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, in the 1960s, he founded the Visual Studies Workshop, an independent arts organization where his innovative programs trained a new generation of photographers, critics, curators, and historians. <i>Nathan Lyons: Selected Essays, Lectures, and Interviews</i> provides the first comprehensive overview of Lyons's career as one of the most important voices in American photography. </p><p> Of primary importance in this volume are Lyons's own writings, gathered here for the first time. These include essays and articles formulated while Lyons was a young curator, as well as early statements about his own artistic practice and his emerging philosophy of photographic education. Important unpublished lectures are presented here, most significantly "Photography and the Picture Experience," Lyons's groundbreaking lecture on the snapshot, and "Sequential Considerations," addressing photographic sequence and visual books. Lyons's recent projects bring this volume up to the present. </p><p> Contributions from other scholars include essays by James Borcoman, Joel Eisinger, Vicki Goldberg, Keith Smith, Anne Wilkes Tucker, and Adam D. Weinberg. Also featured are interviews with Lyons by Maria Antonella Pelizzari, Thomas Dugan, Bob Rogers, and Robert Hirsch, and a newly translated interview by Joan Fontcuberta. Two selections in this volume are drawn from rare unpublished audio recordings made by Lyons in the 1960s: the first, a 1965 interview with Paul Strand on the subject of photographic books, and the second, an extensive discussion with photographers Simpson Kalisher and Garry Winogrand recorded in 1966. </p>
