Published by Yellow Now in 2015, *Empire* is a French-language volume associated with Marie Sordat and classified as a catalogue of artistic photography. Its title is concise and heavily charged: a single word that can describe territory and rule, but also systems of influence, possession, and representation. Rather than prescribing a specific reading, it establishes a broad conceptual horizon for the photographs gathered within the book.

The publication’s 128 pages give the work room to develop beyond the isolated image. In photobook form, meaning arises not only from individual photographs but from their accumulation, adjacency, and return; the title remains present as a lens through which those relationships may be considered. The result is best approached as a sustained photographic proposition rather than as an illustrated account of a narrowly defined topic.

At approximately 21.6 × 17.3 cm, the paperback occupies a compact, intimate scale. That format encourages close handling and repeated viewing, qualities suited to a book whose interpretive force begins with the friction between an expansive title and a contained object. The French-language context and Yellow Now imprint also locate *Empire* clearly within European photographic publishing of the mid-2010s.

For a collector, the book deserves attention on precise rather than speculative grounds. It brings together an artistically oriented photographic catalogue, a notably open title, and a concentrated 128-page format in a publication identifiable by ISBN 978-2-87340-366-9. Its interest lies in how a large political and cultural term is placed into the measured space of a photobook—an encounter that invites slow examination without reducing the work to a predetermined thesis.
