48e Rencontres internationales de la photographie
À travers une trentaine d'expositions installées dans divers lieux patrimoniaux de la ville, les Rencontres d'Arles, placées depuis 2015 sous la direction de Sam Stourdzé, contribuent chaque été depuis quarante-sept ans à transmettre et diffuser le patrimoine photographique mondial, tout en proposant un panorama de la création contemporaine liée à l'image et à la diversité de ses problématiques et pratiques.
Monsanto
As a manufacturer of food and animal feed, seeds and chemical products, Monsanto is relentlessly developing and marketing new technologies. The monopoly it has arguably secured by dubious means bears no relation to its negligence with regard to potential risks. Particularly in light of the devastating consequences that are still causing suffering to people and the environment in many places, the company's self-portrayal as a forward-looking, omnipotent force for good seems cynical. The photographer Mathieu Asselin, who lives in France and Venezuela, has tried his hand at the daunting task of exploring the issues surrounding Monsanto. His investigative photographic study manages to capture the complexity of this topic, creating links between past, present and future and illuminating many different aspects from a variety of perspectives.
And Their Children After Them
'[A] page-turner of a novel . . . I couldn't put the book down' - New York Times 'A multi-viewpoint panorama of thwarted aspirations, spiced with breathy sex scenes and nostalgic detail.' - Mail on Sunday August 1992. Fourteen-year-old Anthony and his cousin decide to steal a canoe to fight their all-consuming boredom on a lazy summer afternoon. Their simple act of defiance will lead to Anthony's first love and his first real summer - that one summer that comes to define everything that follows. Over four sultry summers in the 1990s, Anthony and his friends grow up in a France trapped between nostalgia and decline, decency and rage, desperate to escape their small town, the scarred countryside and grey council estates, in search of a more hopeful future. Nicolas Mathieu's eloquent novel gives a pitch-perfect depiction of teenage angst. Winner of the Prix Goncourt, it won praise for its portrayal of people living on the margins and shines a light on the struggles of French society today. 'Deeply felt . . . An exceptional portrait of youth' - Irish Times

Stefen Chow and Huiyi Lin: the Poverty Line
How the poor eat: an ambitious visual anthropology of diet and poverty in 36 case studies across the world To demonstrate what it means to live at the poverty line, Beijing-based artist duo Stefen Chow and Huiyi Lin visited 36 countries and territories on six continents--from Germany and China to New York and London--examining poverty with regard to food. From local markets, they bought vegetables, fruits, cereal products, proteins and snacks, basing the amount of food they could afford per day on the respective poverty-line definition set by each government. The duo photographed the resulting food, placed on a page of a local newspaper bought that day, calibrating lighting and shooting distance to ensure uniformity and comparability. In addition, the duo selected nine foods available in most of the economies observed to illustrate the globalization of production and the variations in prices and consumption. With this brilliantly conceived project, Chow and Lin render the problem of poverty visible and comprehensible to all.
Lee Ufan
Lee Ufan is a major figure of contemporary art. In 2011, his exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, demonstrated the universal character of his creations. Born in Korea, he initially worked on poetry and philosophy. He went on to produce his first works in Japan before his reputation developed internationally. His classical training inspires universalism and artistic movements engendering form, space, and natural and human creations. His radical work, with its minimalist movement, seems directed at the music of the spheres rather than the murmuring of the world. He is never far from the headlines, and his sovereign work appears as an antidote to our image- saturated civilisation. T...
