{"product_id":"cloud-stories","title":"Cloud Stories","description":"Cloud Stories presents a fresh account of the history of cloud photography, from\nthe invention of the medium in the early 19th century to the present day.\n\nNaturally ephemeral phenomena, cloud formations have fascinated the art world\nsince antiquity: how can these clouds be captured? What do they signify? What do\nthey foretell? Are their shapes identical across the globe? Are they a mirror of\nour psyche? Can they be artificially reproduced? Artists and scientists have\nbeen fascinated by the sky and its manifestations for centuries, so when the\nprocess of photography emerged–;along with its potential to capture\nreality–;inventors, chemists, astronomers, meteorologists, engineers, and above\nall, pioneers of photography, set about developing innovative technical\nprocesses that now offer new ways of seeing and understanding the world.\n\nDrawing on the prestigious Archive of Modern Conflict collection, housed in\nLondon, the book offers an immersive exploration of a rare body of photographic\nwork, enriched with images from renowned collections, including those of the\nBibliothèque nationale de France and the Société française de photographie.\nOrganized thematically, Cloud stories unfolds like a grand photographic album\npunctuated by portfolios and essays. Renowned for bringing lesser-known\ncollections to light, Luce Lebart highlights here the documentary, aesthetic,\nand scientific contributions of cloud photography to the history of the medium.\nThis photography thus played a role in the development of an international cloud\nclassification system and the establishment of a nomenclature, as clouds once\nhad no names.","brand":"INTERFORUM EDITIS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67727630434613,"sku":"9782365114165","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/9023\/3653\/files\/a181d740-4b00-4a08-96dd-e8f689ac5ddd.jpg?v=1792143135","url":"https:\/\/librairiesanstitre.com\/en\/products\/cloud-stories","provider":"librairie sans titre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
