La photographie américaine, du daguerréotype au modernisme
Communiqué presse

"Imaging History" au FoMu
Capture the past. That was the assignment photographers Bruno Vandermeulen and Danny Veys were given at the archaeological site of Sagalassos in Turkey. How does a photographer approach the past? When photographing the ancient city, Vandermeulen and Veys decided not just to record the archaeological finds, but to question the very objectivity of the lens itself.
This was the starting point for Imaging History. How does one look at something that is no longer there? Do we have enough imagination, or does it vary according to the vision of the photographer? Along with Vandermeulen and Veys, five internationally renowned photographers - Shimon Attie (USA, 1957), Raphaël Dallaporta (FR, 1980) Sally Mann (USA, 1951), Bart Michiels (BE, °1964) and Simon Norfolk (NGA, 1963) - present a series of images and appro... - Exposition

LE PARADIS, OU PRESQUE LOS ANGELES 1865-2008
L.A. ou si vous préférez Los Angeles, la cité des anges... et des démons. Pour quelques chanceux, L.A. est synonyme de soleil, de plage, de piscine, de corps sains et bronzés. Pour les autres, L.A. n'est souvent qu'une concentration d'autoroutes encombrées, de pollutions et de peurs de toutes sortes. C'est une ville sans centre et sans âme... Là-haut, dans les cieux, règnent les stars d'Hollywood; mais ici-bas, les habitants craignent un nouveau tremblement de terre ou le déclenchement d'émeutes. Rêve ou cauchemar? Réalité ou fiction? La vérité sur ce lieu mythique et fascinant se situe peut-être entre les deux.
Los Angeles, ville à multiples facettes, est adorée des photographes de tout...
