Résumé:
"Thinking photography" brings debates within the theory and practice of communications and culture, in this case in photography and photography criticism, to a wider audience. Victor Burgin's book is concerned with the production of meaning in photographs ( and so it is fully illustrated). A photograph has traditionally been understood as an expression of the photographer's personality, a transparent presentation of a real scene, or more recently in 'modernist' criticism as a purely formal object. Victor Burgin and his collaborators - Umberto Eco, Allan Sekula, John Tagg and Simon Watney - taking their cue from Walter Benjamin's "The author as producer" (also reprinted here), and working from a wide range of photographs, challenge the concept of the autonomous, spontaneously creative artist, the idea of documentary truth in photography and the notion of purely visual languages. They develop an account of the production of the meaning as a photograph within social institutions - advertising, journalism, art - within a society with a history and within the unconscious.

Résumé:
Over a creative career of more than thirty years, Victor Burgin has established an international reputation as an artist and theoretician in the field of both moving and stationary images. Burgin became known in the late 1960s as one of the founders of Conceptual art. During the 1970s, his works consisted mainly of large-format photographic sequences that often involved text. At the beginning of the 1990s he turned to digital video art. This volume documents the many perspectives of the British artist’s reflections on Pompeii. Burgin created this series of images in 2006, while examining a nineteenth-century photograph of Pompeii from the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal.

Résumé:
Most books about cinema, whether popular or academic, concentrate on what we might call the ‘inside’ of the film: from star performances to narrative structures. The relatively few books about the ‘outside’ of films speak mainly of such aspects of production and reception as the organization of the film industry and the sociology of audiences: the Hollywood studio system, for example, or fan clubs. The Remembered Film is unique in addressing a previously overlooked aspect of cinema: the isolated fragments of films, iconic images or scenes, that fleetingly cross our perceptions and thoughts in the course of everyday life. Victor Burgin examines a kaleidescope of film fragments drawn from a variety of media, the internet, memory and fantasy. Among these are sequences of such brevity they might almost be stills. Such ‘sequence-images’, as Burgin calls them, are neither strictly ‘image’ nor ‘image sequence’ and have not been considered before by either film or photography theory. He also considers some typical individual experiences ‘sampled’ from mainstream cinema. He reflects on such disparate occurrences as the association in memory of fragments from otherwise unrelated films, of the relation of a recollected film image to an architectural setting, or of a feeling ‘marked’ by an image remembered from a film. The Remembered Film provides a radical new way of thinking about film outside conventional cinema, and in relation to our everyday lives. It will appeal to a wide audience interested in film and media.

Résumé:
Victor Burgin is one of the most influential artists and writers working today. He came to prominence as a key ?gure in the Conceptual Art of the late 1960s. After turning to photography in his artistic practice he produced a series of groundbreaking theoretical essays that drew on semiotics, psychoanalysis and feminism in order to think through the ideological role of photographs in the production of beliefs and values, and in the understanding of memory, history, subjectivity and space. This collection brings together for the ?rst time Victor Burgin’s writings related speci?cally to the camera, following the shifts and nuances in his thinking over nearly ?ve decades. Moreover, it allows us to chart the evolution of what the camera was and is, and how its affects are to be understood.

Résumé:
Depuis la seconde moitié des années 1960, Victor Burgin développe une œuvre d'une rare exigence plastique autant que théorique. D'abord identifié comme l'un des acteurs majeurs de l'art conceptuel, Victor Burgin s'est employé, dans son travail articulant texte et photographie, à décoder les présupposés et les usages des images. Son œuvre fait fonds des médias de masse, du cinéma ou de la peinture aussi bien que de la littérature, de la sémiologie, de la psychanalyse ou des études culturelles. Dans les années 1990, la vidéo s'ajoute aux photo-textes et devient le médium privilégié de l'artiste. Si cet ouvrage offre une vision d'ensemble du parcours de Victor Burgin, c'est à cette pratique de vidéaste qu'il s'attache plus particulièrement. Rassemblant des écrits de l'artiste lui-même (pour la plupart inédits ou traduits pour la première fois en français), des essais critiques de Philippe Dubois, Evgenia Giannouri, Marianne Massin et Françoise Parfait, deux entretiens (l'un avec Homi Bhabha, datant de 1991, l'autre avec les étudiants du Master professionnel "Métiers et arts de l'exposition ", réalisé en 2007) et des notices consacrées à ses différentes vidéos, cette monographie propose une analyse approfondie de l'art de Victor Burgin et permet d'apprécier l'ampleur de ses enjeux esthétiques et politiques. C'est en effet une véritable politique de et par l'image qui se construit au fil de ses œuvres et de ses essais. Cet ouvrage documente enfin Fogliazzi, l'installation photo-vidéo que Victor Burgin a créée pour son exposition à la galerie Art & Essai de l'université Rennes 2 Haute-Bretagne (3 mai/15 juin 2007).
