Rencontres d'Arles 2011
NON CONFORME, par François Hébel, directeur des Rencontres d’Arles.
« En 2002, pour la première édition de la nouvelle formule des Rencontres d’Arles, nous prenions en compte l’élargissement de la palette du photographe par le numérique. Nous présentions Here is New York (Voici New-York suite aux attentats du 11 septembre), premier phénomène de l’ère digitale mélangeant professionnels et amateurs, et nous affirmions le genre de la photographie « vernaculaire ».
Dix éditions plus loin, le monde a changé, la photographie et son public aussi.

Exhibition : «High Summer» in New-York
An exhibition featuring works by Penelope Umbrico, Matthew Porter, Justine Kurland, Bill Jacobson, Pacifico Silano, Anastasia Samoylova, Hernease Davis, Thomas Albdorf, Jeremy August Haik, Joseph Desler Costa, Bobby Davidson, Christopher Rodriguez, Todd Mattei, Genevieve Gaignard, Christina Labey, Daniel AnTon Johnson, Dillon DeWaters, Sam Contis, Daniel Terna, Tommy Kha, Jessica Yatrofsky, Erin O'Keefe, Craig Kalpakjian and Sylvia Hardy.
High Summer, a survey of contemporary photo and lens-based works, is a collection of works referencing the sun. The works collected come from practices and processes as varied as the nature of sunlight itself; at times warm and life-giving, but also scorching and destructive. The sun is a bright blind spot in our sky, a void, impossible to see, but impossible to not perceiv... - Exposition
Stills Gallery presents «The Big Picture»
One sunset a day just isn’t enough. In our mediated environment, where points of view outnumber eyes to view them, it seems there is no longer one nature, just an excess of human ones.

Collectively they ask, if a picture speaks a thousand words, what can a thousand pictures reveal?
