What a surprising moment we have just experienced these first days of July. The 50th anniversary has fulfilled its promise.
The end of a world and the birth of a second. The Rencontres as we have known them are dead. They have given way to a formidable festival of contemporary art.
Today’s photography: we find it at the Ateliers. It is everything, it is film, installation, sculpture, book, drawing! Photo Brut is a masterpiece of collecting, like an orgasm of intelligence! It is the same at the Réattu with this monument which is the exhibition entitled We Were Five.
Traditional photography has some sublime remains; East Germany, The Movida, Helen Levitt, Eve Arnold, Abigail Heyman, Susan Meiselas, Variétés magazine but it’s already the past.
