Résumé:
Au tournant XXe siècle, trois frères, dessinateurs sur étoffe de profession, décident de se lancer dans l'aventure photographique en créant un atelier familial. Epaulés par leurs mère, sœur et épouse, Jules, Louis et Henri Séeberger s'attachent à documenter leur époque, dans le cadre des concours lancés par la ville de Paris puis pour le compte d'éditeurs de cartes postales, avant de se spécialiser dans les reportages d'élégance. Reconnaissable par une subtile harmonie de composition, l'œuvre des Séeberger se distingue de la production courante de cartes postales par une parfaite maîtrise technique et une sensibilité particulière aux personnages, considérés comme des documents vivants. De l'ouvrier, de l'artisan, du bourgeois, du commerçant ou de l'aristocrate, les Séeberger semblent dire "voici ce que nous avons vu", sans critique ni jugement. Modeste et discrète, leur vision n'en reste pas moins un témoignage émouvant et troublant de la société d'avant 1914.

Résumé:
Over a creative career of more than thirty years, Victor Burgin has established an international reputation as an artist and theoretician in the field of both moving and stationary images. Burgin became known in the late 1960s as one of the founders of Conceptual art. During the 1970s, his works consisted mainly of large-format photographic sequences that often involved text. At the beginning of the 1990s he turned to digital video art. This volume documents the many perspectives of the British artist’s reflections on Pompeii. Burgin created this series of images in 2006, while examining a nineteenth-century photograph of Pompeii from the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal.

Résumé:
Percer le mystère de la culture japonaise et plus particulièrement l’essence de son esthétisme, telle était la gageure que je m’étais fixée dans ce travail photographique que j’ai réalisé en 2003 grâce à une résidence Villa Médicis Hors les Murs. Comme dans une certaine réalité, j’ai d’abord créé un panel d’opinion composé d’une centaine de représentants du Japon à Paris, une sorte «d’élite japonaise» en France censée incarner l’âme de son pays. De Kenzo aux présidents de Suzuki, de Toshiba ou de la Maison de la culture du Japon, que j’ai rencontrés un par un, j’ai défini une liste de sites et concepts à mettre en image. Ce travail propose donc à travers une chasse aux trésors esthétiques, passée par le filtre des techniques d’études marketing, d’étudier une question éminemment romantique. En somme, il s’agit d’une réactualisation du voyage photographique du XIXe siècle mais emprunt des réalités sociales et économiques actuelles.

Résumé:
In "Unfamiliar journeys", photographer Alan McKernan takes us on an unconventional excursion through his home town, the ever-changing city of Liverpool. McKernan has spent the past ten years documenting the city’s evolution, and these photographs reflect both the grandeur and decay of this modern urban landscape. As well as Liverpool’s architectural landmarks, "Unfamiliar journeys" captures deserted warehouses, boarded-up butchers’ shops, the cathedral glimpsed between shabby terraces. Signs of Liverpool’s recent economic boom – billboards, towering high-rises, skeletal construction cranes – also feature. It takes a moment to realize that there are no people in McKernan’s vision of the city. The unusual viewpoints and stark pattern of cast shadows caught on black and white silver-based film enhances this feeling of eerie enchantment.

The towering figure of Mr. O’Lucky becomes a home for the homeless, while the crumpled sign of a wedding chapel reflects the faded dreams of a lost paradise.
