Virginie Rebetez
This is a conceptual work with a tragic underlying narrative: the disappearance of the teenager. The project tends to question our relationship towards absence and loss and the need of physicality in the process of acceptance and closure. The book combines materials from different sources, such as family archives, reproductions of police and psychic files as well as photographs by Virginie Rebetez. This two year project is also a a reflection on the medium of photography. The status of each image is constantly shifting, offering new meaning and context to this open case. Delphine Bedel, the editor and publisher, and Virginie Rebetez worked together 6 months on this publication, with great attention details and to the narrative structure of the book. The roles of images and their haptic qualities keep shifting, family archives and memories becomes first police evidence and later tactile objets for the mediums and the artist, a fragmented representation of reality, a transformation process that Delphine calls 'the haptic image'.
Fashion & Sustainability
This book examines how sustainability has the potential to transform both the fashion system and the innovators who work within it. Sustainability is arguably the defining theme of the twenty-first century. The issues in fashion are broad-ranging and include labour abuses, toxic chemicals use and conspicuous consumption, giving rise to an undeniable tension between fashion and sustainability. The book is organized in three parts. The first part is concerned with transforming fashion products across the garment's lifecycle and includes innovation in materials, manufacture, distribution, use and re-use. The second part looks at ideas that are transforming the fashion system at root into something more sustainable, including new business models that reduce material throughput. The third section is concerned with transforming the role of fashion designers and looks to examples where the designer changes from a stylist or creator into a communicator, activist or facilitator.

ReGeneration
"This book, the broadest and most enterprising survey of its kind, showcases the creativity, ingenuity, and inspiration of up-and-coming photographic artists in over 200 images. Curators at the Musee de l'Elysee in Lausanne selected the photographers from hundreds of candidates submitted by more than sixty of the world's top photography schools. The panel's choice was made with one key question in mind: are these images likely to be known in twenty years' time?"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Der Tod und das Ding
Textile Dinge sind vielseitige und allgegenwärtige Begleiter des Alltags. Sie prägen Erfahrungswelten und Körper; sie kommunizieren gesellschaftliche und individuelle Belange. Wie aber betreffen Tod und Vergänglichkeit diese dynamische Beziehung zwischen Mensch und – textiler – Materialität? Welche Potentiale bergen Kleidung, Textilien und Mode in diesem Kontext? Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes gehen diesen Fragen nach: Seine dreizehn Autor*innen begreifen Materielle Kultur als einen Gegenstandsbereich ihrer Disziplin und als eine spezifische Sicht auf die Kultur von Tod und Vergänglichkeit. (Textile) Materialitäten verleihen Ideen und Konzepten in diesen Kontexten eine verfügbare...
Moda & sustentabilidade
Sustentabilidade é sem dúvida o tema do século XXI. Na moda, as questões sobre como ser sustentável abrangem desde o abuso no trabalho até o uso de produtos químicos na indústria têxtil e o consumo exagerado. O Senac São Paulo publica Moda & sustentabilidade: design para mudança, que examina como a sustentabilidade pode transformar tanto o sistema como as pessoas que trabalham no setor fashion. O livro discute as maneiras como o impacto do vestuário pode ser reduzido e de que forma podemos aumentar sua durabilidade – seja por meio de novos materiais, manufaturas, distribuição ou reutilização –, analisa as alternativas para modificar as bases da moda e levanta novas opções aos designers, que devem atuar além de seu papel tradicional de criador para ser também comunicador, ativista e facilitador de mudanças sistêmicas.

Margins of Excess
In ?Margins of Excess? the notion of how personal imagination conflicts with generally accepted beliefs is expressed through the narratives of six individuals. Every one of them momentarily received nationwide attention in the US press because of their attempts to realize a dream or passion, but were presented as frauds or deceivers by the mass media?s apparent incapacity to deal with idiosyncratic versions of reality.0The current era of ?post-truth?, in which truths, half-truths, lies, fiction or entertainment are easily interchanged, has produced a culture of ?hyper-individual truths?, demanding a new approach to identify the underlying narratives that structure our perception of reality in a world where there is no longer a generally accepted frame of realism. 0Embedding the stories of the six main protagonists into a clustering tale of cloned military dogs, religious apparitions, suspect vehicles, fake terrorist plots, accidental bombings and fictional presidents, this book follows an associative logic akin to the indiscriminate way a paranoid mind connects unrelated events, or the hysteria of the 24-second news cycle.
Alex & Me
James Pfaff?s work deals with the documentation and reconstruction of his own life and universe. Drawing on his photographic archive and personal journals, his expression is primarily through the medium of photography. He often later combines his images with the abstract form, paint, collage, and the written word in contemporary response. The series?Alex & Me? (1998)? in which the narrative of an American road trip undertaken by Pfaff together with a woman poetically plays out? can be considered as a point of departure. He writes:?The summer of?98 was slipping away as we made our way south. Asphalt and neon. Black coffee, cigarettes. Night-scented Louisiana.?
