Summary:
''Extérieurs. Annie Ernaux et Photographie'' rassemble les écrits célèbres d'Annie Ernaux, lauréate du prix Nobel de littérature, avec des photographies de la collection de la Maison Européenne de la Photographie par des photographes tels que Harry Callahan, Claude Dityvon, Dolorès Marat, Daido Moriyama, Janine Niépce, Issei Suda, Henry Wessel et Bernard Pierre Wolff. Reprenant la démarche artistique unique d'Ernaux consistant à "décrire la réalité comme à travers les yeux d'un photographe et à préserver le mystère et l'opacité des vies que j'ai rencontrées", ce projet de l'écrivaine et commissaire d'exposition Lou Stoppard dévoile les manières profondes dont l'image écrite et visuelle peuvent s'informer et s'infléchir mutuellement. Ce faisant, il propose une nouvelle façon de penser la littérature et la photographie, et la manière dont des thèmes communs - tels que la classe sociale, le voyage, les stéréotypes sociaux et l'identité individuelle dans l'environnement urbain moderne - peuvent être explorés entre ces deux formes d'art.

Summary:
The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape was one of those rare exhibitions that permanently alters how an art form is perceived. Held at the International Museum of Photography in Rochester, New York, in January 1975, curator William Jenkins brought together ten contemporary photographers: Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore and Henry Wessel, Jr. Signaling the emergence of a new approach to landscape, New Topographics has since come to be understood as marking a paradigm shift, for the show occurred just as photography ceased to be an isolated, self-defined practice and took its place within the contemporary art world. In this vital reassessment of the genre, essays by Britt Salvesen and Alison Nordström accompany illustrations of selected works from the 1975 exhibition, with installation views and contextual comparisons, to demonstrate both the historical significance of New Topographics and its continued relevance today.
