Summary:
L’annonce de l’invention de la photographie, en 1839, est un événement capital pour le XIXe siècle occidental. Elle plonge la société au cœur d’une ère nouvelle pour l’art, dans laquelle une image mécanique – le daguerréotype – met en crise, pour ne pas dire ruine instantanément tout un pan de la représentation fondé sur l’imitation des formes du visible et la figuration.(...)

Summary:
L’annonce de l’invention de la photographie, en 1839, est un événement capital pour le XIXe siècle occidental. Elle plonge la société au cœur d’une ère nouvelle pour l’art, dans laquelle une image mécanique – le daguerréotype – met en crise, pour ne pas dire ruine instantanément tout un pan de la représentation fondé sur l’imitation des formes du visible et la figuration. Quels sont les effets de cette annonce sur les acteurs de l’époque ? Quels en sont les conséquences dans le champ de l’art contemporain d’alors ? Critiques et écrivains polémiquent, peintres et sculpteurs sont mêlés aux débats - à partir de 1839, on assiste à deux décennies d’affrontements...

Summary:
If abandoned and left alone, human settlements are inevitably taken back into nature’s fold. Photographer and ruin explorer Nakasuji Jun confronts us with the eerily still and untouched buildings and interiors of a modern town now lost to the forest. Chairs and tables are covered in lush carpets of moss, trees spring from roofless houses and rusted vehicles, once lively industry lies quiet, and vines delicately drape facades and power lines with a mantle of green. The stories the town holds slowly slip away in nature’s embrace.
