Ter gelegenheid van de honderdste verjaardag van zijn geboorte brengt Cinematek hulde aan Jacques Ledoux, de conservator dankzij wie het Koninklijk Belgisch Filmarchief een internationaal gerenommeerde instelling is geworden. Jacques Ledoux, geboren in 1921, heeft een van 's werelds belangrijkste filmverzamelingen en filmdocumentatie opgebouwd. Met de dagelijks vertoningen in het Filmmuseum heeft hij films uit de vergetelheid en van de ondergang gered. Zich bewust van de historische rijkdom van de 7e kunst, zal hij ook een belangrijke motor zijn van nieuwe creaties. Dit boek bundelt exclusieve getuigenissen die in 2021 werden verzameld bij historici zoals David Bordwell, Kristin Thompson of Bernard Eisenschitz en voormalige medewerkers van het Filmarchief. Een getuigenis van Paul Davay en een transcriptie van een interview met Jacques Ledoux, beide nog niet eerder gepubliceerd, vervolledigen dit werk, samen met de heruitgave van een biografische notitie van Gabrielle Claes. Het boek is rijkelijk geïllustreerd met archiefbeelden.

I have always loved square images shooting a lot of photographs with my Yashica Mat 124G. When Fujifilm came out with the X100 series, they included in their "S" model the one on one format. It became the drive to start this new project in the summer of 2015. I was looking for a new portfolio where I could record all the sights around me as a visual statement. It was clear that it would be a black and white essay. Why is so much fading away, could be the main question of the reportage spread over 6 years? The Wilson in Squares project complements my Wilson Project where I photographed for 30 months the people of the city. One portfolio is about people, the other one about the set where they live. Combined they represent two chapters but one artistic vision.All the photographs here are shot within 3 miles (5 kilometers) of the Historic District, going in circles from months to months, years after years. As I live in the middle of the circle, never has it been easier for me to walk around: waiting one day for heavy rain or the rare snowstorm that would give the portfolio an extra edge. The same way, it was easy to play with the light or the darkness: waiting for the exact right second depending on the subject matter of the day. Last but not least, my fiery German Shepherd, Nealah, worked diligently as my assistant walking together close to 10 miles on shooting days, never tiring of getting the next shot.As with both my Shanghai and Chicago books that were published in 2020 and 2021, besides the camera in my hand, curiosity to look around every street or behind every wall corner became my main working tool. I am an explorer; every inch outside my house has become my land of adventures and travels.

I grew up in Belgium with a Chinese Grandmother born in Yixing, a small town two hours West of Shanghai. In 1929 my Grandmother left Shanghai by boat to study in Europe, where she met my Russian Grandfather. Growing up, it was fascinating listening to all the stories related to my family in China. After graduating from the Agnès Varda School of Photography in Brussels, it was the right time to visit my relatives in the Far East. In March 1985, I boarded a plane to Hong Kong and traveled for six weeks around China, falling in love straight away with Shanghai. The meals cooked by my Grandaunt are to this day the best Chinese meals I have ever eaten. In December 2019, I completed my 9th photo trip to Shanghai, walking through the city for over 15 months in total. Yes, by walking over and over the same neighborhoods and photographing the same street corners and Lilongs, I was able to build an extensive portfolio covering all the changes happening in these dynamic neighborhoods. From a still sleepy town in the eighties to one of the most vibrant world metropolises today, I covered many of those changes over a period of 35 years. Nothing compares to Shanghai, The Bund remains as attractive as ever. Jerome De Perlinghi

A book of photographs shot in Chicago from 2011 to 2018 with a selection of 200 images. From Oak Park to Lake Michigan, from Evanston to the border with Indiana, this books represents over 15,000 miles of walks through the city. Two texts written by Thomas Thorp and Fabrice Rouselot will give the readers all the details they need about the project. It is important to show photographs that do question our vision and understanding of the world. Chicago is the third largest city in America, on the surface, one of the most pleasant. Yet, at the same time, the dualities of light and dark are ever more present. In this book I am the true outsider -no family ties like in Shanghai- trying to make sense of the world through the use of photography is the ultimate goal. By trying to be somewhat invisible, the street photographer wants to blend in the crowd, but like in any large city, tensions can rise -I am usually only a few feet away from my subjects. Surprisingly these tense moments are not with the people struggling to survive, rather with the high society and privileged, the people in charge. Though the streets belong to everyone and the moving scenes are for any photographer to grab, some would like to control the message. Making certain to cross the path of many, taking time to acknowledge and walking through the wards of the city, it is a tale of two Americas. Why are we so divided as a country and remote from each other? Can "Chicago, A Tale of Two Cities" encourage us to be more responsive to some of our existential questions in life?

A portrait is not a photo of a woman or a man. It is something else. Something more. The extra is the photographer. The one who leads this strange, unusual ritual, that of the portrait celebration. A portrait is an encounter between the one who makes the photo and the one who poses. In the end, it is not the image of this woman or man that appears, but the image of the relationship that arose between one world, the photographer's, in the shadows, and another world, the sitter's, in the light. The framing, the moment, the light, the technical equipment of cameras and films, all are selected by the photographer. And directing the actor is, here again, the photographer's responsibility. Jérôme De Perlinghi, through the festivals of Deauville, Montreal and elsewhere, the backstage area of the Cinematek in Belgium, his encounters with cinema, has been able to impose, with great kindness and infinite determination, his world on those who were willing to spend a few minutes with him - or to be more precise, in front of him, between his canvas, his spotlight and his Yashica 6X6. He was able to seduce them with his honesty and a certain pugnacity, but without ever attempting to flatter or deceive them. With him, each sitter knew where they were going, accepted to play this game, this power struggle, and forget their image to build with Jérôme another image: unique, different and free.
