Sous la forme d'un véritable plan de Paris, Martin Parr nous invite à le suivre dans la capitale. Pendant trois ans, à la demande de la Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP), Martin Parr s'est penché sur les parisiens et les parisiennes et a photographié les Champs-Elysées, les touristes, le 14 juillet, les défilés de mode, le salon d'aéronautique du Bourget, Paris Plage, les musées et les foires d'art, le salon d'agriculture ... Au final, une quarantaine d'images inédites et quelques clichés antérieurs incontournables qui nous livrent à travers ces scènes de vie ordinaires, un véritable concentré d'atmosphère parisienne
This compelling publication traces the broad arc of photography’s development in France from the 1970s to the present day. A decade-by-decade account reveals unexpected points of convergence between practices that are not usually considered in a comparative perspective. These include photographic practices in contemporary art, documentary, photojournalism, and fashion. Author Olga Smith sets these practices in dialogue with French philosophy – the writings of Roland Barthes, Jean Baudrillard, and Jacques Rancière – to produce an innovative study of the intersections between the photographic image, text, practice, and theory. This analysis is guided by an understanding of photography as deeply engaged with historical, cultural, and intellectual events that defined French national experience in the contemporary period. Landscape provides a particular focus to study issues of key significance, including national identification, colonial past, legacies of modernization and environmental breakdown.
Illustrated with reproductions of Ruben's photographs.

Artistic Bedfellows is an international interdisciplinary collection of historical essays, critical papers, case studies, interviews, and comments from scholars and practitioners that shed new light on the growing field of collaborative art. This collection examines the field of collaborative art broadly, while asking specific questions with regard to the issues of interdisciplinary and cultural difference, as well as the psychological and political complexity of collaboration. The diversity of approach is needed in the current multimedia and cross disciplinarily world of art. This reader is designed to stimulate thought and discussion for anyone interested in this growing field and practice.
Overzicht van het werk van de Franse fotograaf en cineast (1942-).
Denis Roche est l'auteur d'une œuvre où l'écriture et la photographie ne cessent de se croiser. Elles s'informent, s'emboîtent, se joignent, se saisissent l'une de l'autre, s'infléchissent, se transcrivent, se transposent. Il en résulte une œuvre difficile, énergumène, rétive à la reprise critique, dessinant une trajectoire capricieuse : courbes, diagonales, sauts d'obstacles, apparentes ruptures. C'est la logique de ces mouvements (et de leurs vitesses, de leurs rythmes, de leurs coupes) que l'on essaie ici d'interroger à nouveau, avec les outils qu'il faut (on les invente au besoin) pour circuler dans cette œuvre par voie technique, poétologique, performative, circonstancielle, projective, comparative, littérale. Il s'agit de lire Denis Roche au collimateur, aux machines, ou encore de l'observer à la lumière des lucioles.
Autobiography in France has taken a decidedly visual turn in recent years: photographs, shown or withheld, become evidence of what was, might have been, or cannot be said; photographers, filmmakers, and cartoonists undertake projects that explore issues of identity. Textual and Visual Selves investigates, from a variety of theoretical perspectives, the ways in which the textual and the visual combine in certain French works to reconfigure ideas—and images—of self-representation. Surprisingly, what these accounts reveal is that photography or film does not necessarily serve to shore up the referentiality of the autobiographical account: on the contrary, the inclusion of visual material can even increase indeterminacy and ambiguity. Far from offering documentary evidence of an extratextual self coincident with the “I” of the text, these images testify only to absence, loss, evasiveness, and the desire to avoid objectification. However, where Roland Barthes famously saw the photograph as a prefiguration of death, in this volume we see how the textual strategies deployed by these writers and artists result in work that is ultimately life-affirming.
