De l’enfer à l’Élysée
Entre ses projets aussi sportifs qu’altruistes et sa vie de famille, l’équilibre de Christian s’effondre. Entre le 22e Marathon des sables dans le sud marocain au profit des malades de la sclérose en plaques et son abandon lors de la traversée non-stop de la Réunion en faveur de la recherche contre l’Alzheimer, ce pompier volontaire a perdu son couple. A son retour, après une mutation professionnelle avortée, il se retrouve bientôt à la rue avec son fils. Christian n’a alors plus rien à perdre, mais tout à gagner : le 15 août 2009, date anniversaire de son fils, il s’élance dans son dernier défi, l’ « Opération survie », soit courir les 600 kilomètres séparant Périgueux du conseil des ministres à l’Elysée... Le courage et la ténacité pour vaincre la misère et la dépression : c’est l’aventure humaine extraordinaire d’un SDF fonctionnaire que nous raconte le marathonien Christian Kowal. Face aux désillusions devant l’inaction des élus, une histoire insolite pour un message d’espoir et d’encouragement.

Slides
"Although the history of photography was built around prints, there were significant developments in slides from the last third of the 19th century, renewing the tradition of magic lanterns. Photographic projection offers a unique field of exploration involving a wide variety of forms, protagonists and places spanning a period of over one hundred and fifty years. Its history tells of the dissemination of knowledge, the quest for color and stereoscopy, the boom in amateur photography, and the medium's integration into the contemporary art scene from the 1960s. Amateurs, professional photographers, publishers, artists, architects and designers have joined forces here to describe the specificities of the slide and show its impact on visual culture."--Page 4 of cover.
