Le photobook de paysage contemporain comme portrait de pays, ou comment la photographie française a aujourd’hui force d’art
Cet essai propose de reconsidérer et de calibrer à nouveau le statut relativement marginalisé du photobook — en particulier du photobook de paysage français contemporain —, et de montrer comment la forme et le format du livre contribuent, peut-être plus que tout autre support, à la fabrication d’un imaginaire spatial et topographique. Après une analyse de l’émergence, de l’état actuel et de la spécificité du genre, l’essai se conclut par plusieur…
Into the Woods
Trees, among the world’s oldest creatures, seem to be having a moment. Not only have researchers made fascinating discoveries about their “secret lives,” these ubiquitous superorganisms have sparked the culture’s imagination as well. Trees have recently been the subject of best-selling novels, essays, and high-impact films. While most human beings would be hard pressed to name any species of tree they might encounter in their daily lives, talk ab…

Tanguy Viel's Manic Fictions
Phototextuality
Ever since the advent of the medium in the mid-nineteenth century, photography and literature have been involved in an almost constant dialogue and process of intersemiotic cross-fertilisation. The scholarly field that has recently begun to develop around the critical study of this kind of aesthetic border crossing – what will here be called 'phototextuality' – is as burgeoning as it is multidisciplinary, spanning over 150 years of literary, arti…
Remake
An exemplary illustration of the postmodern logic of “postproduction,” in which cultural artifacts are not simply recycled but reinvented and re-consumed (Bourriaud), Tanguy Viel's 1999 novel Cinéma delves into the infinite archive of popular images and appropriates a film that it remakes in words. Turning the tradition of adaptation from text to film inside out, Viel's contemporary take on the avant-garde practice of the “readymade” projects a s…
