Résumé:
Où en sont les jeunes photographes à l'aube de cette deuxième décennie du XXIe siècle ? Quel regard portent-ils sur le monde ? Dans quelle mesure s'inscrivent-ils dans la tradition, s'en inspirent-ils ou la rejettent-ils ? C'est à ces questions et à bien d'autres encore que tente de répondre cette publication. Elle propose de découvrir les travaux inédits de 80 jeunes photographes abordant des thématiques aussi diverses que l'espace urbain, la mondialisation, l'identité ou la mémoire, par le biais de pratiques souvent hybrides qui permettent plus que jamais de brouiller les pistes entre réalité et fiction.

Résumé:
In his Habitat series, Olaf Otto Becker (born 1959) presents idyllic dreamlike places—paradisical tableaus from the jungles of Malaysia and Indonesia. Even the temperate rainforest of Redwood National Parks in California seems reassuringly intact: the mammoth trees are surviving thanks to rigorous conservation measures. By contrast, in the second half of his series Becker shows what happens across the globe when international corporations clear large tracts of land and giant areas of barren, treeless terrain result. Erosion also does its work, and no life can survive in these places. In the final section, Becker presents the artificial "forests" conceived by various international architects to insert greenery into urban space.

Résumé:
From monumental industrial architecture to the interiors of strange machines, the photographs of Carlo Valsecchi alternate between precise figuration and poetic abstraction. Devoid of human presence, these large-format images often adopt unexpected vantage points, which initially destabilize our perception and then encourage us to engage more actively with the image. Although much of his work clearly occupies the strong tradition of the industrial landscape developed by the German school (Becher, Gursky), Valsecchi inhabits his own expressive register, with a soft palette and nuanced chromatic scale.
