unREST : explorer les vibrations du monde actuel
Forte de son expérience acquise, le festival Photoreporter a choisi pour cette édition d'aller plus loin qu'une juxtaposition d'expositions en adoptant un fil conducteur commun « unREST » :
UnREST correspond à cet état d'esprit d'incertitude et de renouveau, synthèse des deux tendances opposées qui animent le monde actuel.
Le monde semble instable, chaotique : incerti...

Main exhibitions : Photography Now : engaged, personal, and vital - Curated by Enrico Bossan & Elisabeth Biondi.
Hope: Between Dream and Reality - Curated by Enrico Bossan.
« Hope is the emotion that reveals an urgency of life. Just like a child’s eye staring at the world, hope encompasses the desire to live, look to the future and, crucially, change the world around us.
I have chosen a group of young photographers who neither provide a faithful representation of reality nor create an illusion, but who have impressed me with their ability to capture the essential aspects of life. These photos show the role photography can play as a witness. Photography may portray the world at its bleakest but we must remember to be positive towards the future and the opportunities that lie ahead.

L'exposition Horizons présente les travaux de douze jeunes photographes européens invités, dans le cadre de la deuxième édition de l'European Photo Exhibition Award, à travailler autour du « nouveau social ». Souligné par plusieurs analyses récentes, ce « nouveau social » est le résultat de la fragmentation des espaces et discours publics et de l'augmentation de nouveaux types de tensions sociales. Ainsi, les douze participants à ce prix ont exploré les thèmes liés à ce paysage social émergent et révèlent les mutations significatives en termes d'identité culturelle, de modes de vie, de moyens de communication, de territoire ou de politique. A travers pa...
The exhibition Horizons presents the work of 12 young European photographers who have been invited to focus on the "new social" within the framework of the second edition of the European Photo Exhibition Award. Highlighted by several recent analyses, this "new social" stems from the fragmentation of spaces and public discourses and the rise of new kinds of social tension. Accordingly, the 12 artists participating in this prize explore themes related to this emerging social landscape and reveal significant changes in the areas of cultural identity, lifestyle, communication, territory, and politics. Through urban landscapes, photojournalism, reportage, portraiture, and staging, these photographers have each interpreted the subject in their own way while remaining profoundly marked by their cultures. Whe...
Every work is commented by a text especially written by each artist on the occasion of Paris Photo 2009
(with the exception of Mario Giacomelli); the text – when possible handwritten – will be given together with the actual work to the buyer.
Each photograph is the result of a vision. The author has imagined it, maybe dreamt of it, and then has retraced it in the reality to reproduce it with photography. Or perhaps, the author has staged it, following an impulse, a memory, a dream.
The images in this selection are examples of many possible “photographic dreams”, the results of projects created by different authors, young or not, famous and well established or moving their first steps in the international art scene.
To each of them we have asked to choose and comment their preferred visions...
Being there, looking, shooting, showing, keeping. Italian photographers gave themselves this painful but necessary task: to recount the tragedy of the Abruzzo earthquake in pictures. Hundreds of moments passed before their eyes: personal stories, separated families, fallen houses. When the memory needs evidence, the photograph comes into play. An exhibition is the most immediate way of putting these together. The creation of an institutional fund to conserve them....
