Lancement du livre Higurashi

avec Milo Keller, MAP

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.

Some projects focus on concrete aspects of 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 particularities of Japanese culture such as food in a family setting, the desire to generate humanoid robots, the confusion of child and adult worlds in manga, Pichinko Gambling , the reinvention of Ikebana and the rising stars among young girls.

Dye City

avec MAP, Letha Wilson, Ethan Greenbaum

Dye City New York is an inescapable place of the world's artistic and photographic scene, and is experiencing an unprecedented effervescence in the revival of conceptual art. After the strong dematerialization of photographic practice, many artists working in New York have taken advantage of the technological upheaval to break the codes and social norms of photographic devices and objects. Without a doubt, the dynamic spatial framework of New York gives artists and art establishments a frenzied impulse of research and experimentation on the photographic medium.The students were able to follow a week-long workshop with Letha Wilson and Ethan Greenbaum, two renowned American artists working on the concept of three dimensions of the photographic image, enabling students to develop their knowledge of printing techniques but also their relation to the realisation of a physical work with few means of production and very short schedule.The result of the workshop was presented in Ethan Greenbaum's workshop in Long Island on Friday, May 12th as a collective exhibition where all the students showed them their successful project.In addition, students were able to benefit from a wide selection of artists' meetings and visits to workshops, museums and galleries, their best references and dreams with a view to achieving free artistic work. The boundaries that the photographic medium observes.
