Summary:
Picturing Mexico: From the Camera Lucida to Film explores the early artistic and cultural factors that contributed to the emergence of film in a heterogeneous media environment at the turn of the 20th century. Focusing his attention upon lithographs and photographs of Mexico created by European and North American visitors, Fullerton argues that the introduction of the illustrated press and the popular photographic album towards the end of the 19th century transformed the private space of the printed page. He contends that the dynamics of the moving image were informed by the convergence of these media forms.

Ce livre est un hommage aux images à la fois tendres et violentes de la photographe Nan Goldin. Goldin est une guerrière, une gardienne de la mémoire. Elle lutte pour qu’on n’oublie pas la vie des femmes, des sidéens, des bannis. Depuis la mort brutale de sa sœur aînée adorée, elle se bat pour le souvenir de ceux qu’elle a perdus. Goldin est une gorgone dont le regard sidère. Elle demande de poser les yeux sur ce qui est étranger, elle exige que les secrets soient dénudés. Martine Delvaux met ici ses pas dans les pas de Goldin, et avance avec elle dans la colère, la rébellion et l’amour fou.

August Sander (1876-1964), Walker Evans (1903-1975) : ils ont produit quelques-unes des icônes du XXe siècle tout en prétendant n’y être pour rien. Le « style documentaire » (la formule est d’Evans, 1935) relève du paradoxe. Par quel miracle ces photographes qui présentent leurs œuvres comme des duplications du monde, de purs reflets, qui assurent que c’est le motif qui fait la photo, que c’est le modèle qui dicte l’image, par quel miracle ces réductionnistes, ces objectivistes ont-ils non seulement engendré une suite infinie de disciples, mais aussi fourni les témoignages les plus durables sur l’Allemagne de Weimar (Sander) et sur l’Amérique de la Dépression (Evans) ?
