Lancement du livre Higurashi

In Summer 2019, thirteen students from the ECAL Master’s in Photography programme supervised by Milo Keller travelled to Japan to work on thirteen individual projects in collaboration with Japanese photographer Taisuke Koyama within the framework of the Tokyo Photographic Research project. The students’ artworks range from still and moving images to computer-generated photographic visuals and explore multiple facets of the Japanese megalopolis which is, once again, undergoing major transformation in preparation for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games. Some projects focus on aspects specific to the city, from the destruction of small residential houses to the construction of the gigantic Olympic Village and the conquest of new territories by the sea. Other works investigate distinctive Japanese culture such as home-cooked food, the appetite for designing humanoid robots, the blending of child and adult worlds in manga, pachinko gambling, the reinvention of ikebana and young girls as ‘rising stars.’ Finally, the works seek to visually represent more abstract concepts such as loneliness, emptiness and intimacy in a city that, due to its density, size and power, offers a challenging, fascinating and extremely stimulating complexity to the eyes of the thirteen photographers. Higurashi has been presented at Espace Commines in Paris in November 2021, inside the exhibition Automated Photography during Paris Photo.

Daniel Martinez – A River Has No Shore

MA PHOTOGRAPHIE

Daniel Martinez – A River Has No Shore

by Daniel Martinez

Du glacier alpin à la Méditerranée, le Rhône traverse grottes de glace, forêts, villes et zones industrielles. Il soutient des écosystèmes, relie des cultures et façonne des territoires. Mais les eaux du monde charrient aujourd’hui des récits de crise et de désastre. Le changement climatique affecte aussi notre vie émotionnelle, nourrissant l’éco-anxiété et la solastalgie. A River Has No Shore explore cette détresse en suivant l’eau du Rhône, dans ses formes multiples, comme reflet des bouleversements contemporains.

Doyoung Kim – Flattened Roughness

MA PHOTOGRAPHIE

Doyoung Kim – Flattened Roughness

by Doyoung Kim

L’œuvre Flattened Roughness explore la consommation d’images de guerre et la culpabilité qui en découle. Le photographe collecte et imprime des images de mort, puis les lèche et les absorbe physiquement, affrontant la distance émotionnelle et physique créée par les médias. Les caméras des drones-suicides mesurent sans cesse la distance aux humains pour détruire. Dans ce processus, la distance entre les humains est oubliée. Pour surmonter cette distance, il introduit ces images dans son corps. Cet acte, où l’intimité et la brutalité coexistent, transforme le voyeurisme en deuil et en soin, confrontant son humanité perdue. Par la performance sensorielle, il réduit l’écart entre lui-même et la mort médiatisée, explorant le conflit entre émotion émoussée et sensation.
