Raymond Depardon

ഒരു ഫോട്ടോഗ്രാഫറുടെ ഓര്‍മ്മക്കുറിപ്പുകള്‍

En 1980, Raymond Depardon réalise une commande pour le Sunday TimesMagazine sur la ville de Glasgow mais le reportage ne sera jamais publié. Les images resteront dans les cartons du photographe jusqu'à l'exposition Un moment si doux au Grand Palais (14 Novembre 2013 - 10 Février 2014) où le public découvre une partie de la série Glasgow et s'émerveille : Depardon saisit la lumière d'Ecosse comme jamais et sublime la fin d'un monde ouvrier. Les ciels nuageux et les sols détrempés de Glasgow apportent une beauté inouïe à l'errance d'un peuple ouvrier désoeuvré, traînant le long des devantures de magasins, marchant contre les murs d'usines ou jouant au pied d'habitations en ruine. William Boyd, qui est d'origine écossaise et qui a fait ses études à Glasgow, préface le livre (texte bilingue anglais-français). Nous publions ici ce reportage dans son entièreté : 68 photographies en couleurs. Les photos seront sans légendes, seul un court texte de quelques lignes (en bilingue aussi) de Depardon introduira le reportage, à la suite de la préface de William Boyd.

Glasgow

The Fondation Cartier pour lart contemporain presents an exhibition of worldrenowned French photojournalist Raymond Depardon at the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin. This special project brings together a series of seven short films that were first presented at the Fondation Cartier in the Fall of 2004. These five-minute films capture daily life in the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Berlin, Moscow, Shanghai, Addis Ababa and Cairo. In addition, Depardon will also present five new films on the cities of Buenos Aires, Paris, New York, Johannesburg and Dubai, realized specifically for the exhibition in Berlin. This catalogue will include a series of photographs Depardon realized during his stay in each of these twelve cities as well as an introductory text providing us with his personal point of view on his travels.

Cities

X93;At the age of 22 I was sent to Saigon to cover the war as a photojournalist. I was too late for Indochina, and too early for Vietnam. Muggers robbed me on my arrival, and I lived in a small hotel by the river. I drove towards the front in an old Citroën. I think I was happy. I returned some years later. It was for another war, and the famous reporters had left. The streets were full of GIs and their girlfriends, of blind bomb victims and so many children returning to school. It was the end of an epoch, people would hand flowers to the soldiers. Everybody wanted to leave, and it was cheap to stay at luxury hotels. To forget my heartache, I got drunk and walked the streets all day. The city was very generous and welcomed me with open arms, so I lost sense of time. I stayed for months in this city that no longer exists. The last time I went there I was at peace with things, and at the War Remnants Museum I visited my friends who had died on the battlefield. Today, the city has another name and has fully entered globalization.” Raymond Depardon.
