En 2021, tandis que le monde se relève du choc de la pandémie de Covid, le ministère de la Culture lance une grande commande à l'adresse des photojournalistes, pilotée par la Bibliothèque nationale de France, destinée à soutenir la profession mais aussi à prendre le pouls de cette "France d'après". Deux cents photojournalistes, choisis par un jury pluriel, partent alors à la rencontre des habitants de l'Hexagone et des territoires ultramarins, deux cents regards et autant de reportages permettant de dessiner un instantané du pays en cette période charnière. Les questionnements actuels sur le genre, la néoruralité, le dérèglement climatique ou les nouvelles technologies côtoient ici des problématiques plus intemporelles comme le quotidien des personnes âgées, les joies et les difficultés de la jeunesse, l'accueil des réfugiés, la pauvreté, le travail, les loisirs... Les quelque cinq cents images rassemblées dans ce catalogue reflètent ainsi les évolutions de la photographie de presse et la variété de ses écritures. Certains lauréats ont fait le choix de la captation de l'instant quand d'autres ont opté pour une temporalité moins marquée, revendiquant en ce sens un registre plus métaphorique. Avec cette importante commande de l'histoire de la photographie contemporaine se révèle, sous leurs yeux, une France traversée par de nouveaux défis.

"Flour, water, and salt. These are the sole ingredients that make Hardtack: a Civil War-era food long-associated with survivalism, land migration, and its extremely long shelf life. Drawing from this history as a metaphor for the long-enduring nature of Black culture and traditions, Hardtack uncovers the roots that tie Fortune's native landscape to the conflicts and nuances associated with the post-emancipation Americas. In the follow-up to his breakout monograph I can't stand to see you cry, Fortune borrows from the language of vernacular and archival photography to interrogate the historical relationship of his community to photography; rooted in the landscape, Fortune often uses sites of historical and cultural interest as a guide but not a subject, implying the deep ties that bind modern Black communities resiliently to their regions, in the face of both adversity and joy. A significant theme in Hardtack is Fortune's striking portraits of coming-of-age traditions. Inside, young bull-riders, praise dancers, and pageant queens inherit and gracefully embrace these forms of community ritual. Fortune's dignifying eye pays tribute to these cultural performances' rigour, discipline and creative flair, alongside the intergenerational conversation between young people and elders handing down these traditions. Collecting together nearly a decade of work, Hardtack continues Fortune's weaving of documentary and personal history, marking a sincere expression of love and passion to a region that has nourished the artist personally and creatively, while also marking an important contribution to photographing the American South." --

"The posthumous release of the last book that Michael Wolf himself worked on, published to mark the fifth anniversary of his death. Award-winning German photographer Michael Wolf (1954–2019) grew up in Canada, Europe and the United States. In 1994, Wolf moved to Hong Kong, where he worked for eight years as a contract photographer for Stern Magazine. The core of Wolf’s work consisted of capturing life in megacities. Many of his projects depict the architecture and popular culture of metropolises, and Hong Kong Whispers is no exception. This book contains a stunning series of photos showing the vibrant global city of Hong Kong. Wolf’s photographs are displayed in dialogue with the acerbic and ambiguous drawings of Arpaïs Du Bois (°1973). Based on intense engagement with Wolf’s series of images, she reflects on unnoticed moments and events that characterise life in the metropolis. The visual exchange between photographs and drawings took shape during Du Bois’s stay of several weeks in Hong Kong (2014), during which the two artists observed the city both together and individually." --Publisher's description.

"For more than two decades, the artist-activist LaToya Ruby Frazier has used photography, text, moving images, and performance to revive and preserve forgotten narratives of labor, gender, and race in the postindustrial era. Frazier has cultivated a practice that builds on the legacy of the social documentary tradition of the 1930s, the photo-conceptual forays of the 1960s and 1970s, and the work of socially conscious writers like Upton Sinclair, James Baldwin, and bell hooks. Monuments of Solidarity celebrates the creativity and collaboration that persist in the face of industrialization and deindustrialization, racial and environmental injustice, gender disparities, unequal access to health care and clean water, and the erosion or denial of fundamental human rights. A form of Black feminist world-building, Frazier's nontraditional 'monuments' demand recognition of the crucial role that women and people of color have played, and continue to play, in histories of labor and the working class. Published in conjunction with the first comprehensive museum survey dedicated to the artist, LaToya Ruby Frazier: Monuments of Solidarity presents the full range of her practice and includes both rarely seen and brand-new bodies of work. An illuminating overview essay by the exhibition's curator, Roxana Marcoci, is accompanied by a manifesto by the artist and a suite of focused essays by other curators and scholars"--
