Où commence le ciel ?

Corinne Mercadier

Corinne Mercadier

François Seigneur, Bernard Plossu, Alain Fleischer, Charles-Arthur Boyer

Où commence le ciel ? Cette question apparemment légère a été posée par Corinne Mercadier à quinze auteurs: architectes, artistes, écrivains, chorégraphe, danseuse, plasticiens… (Stéphane André, Mary Canal, Alain Fleischer, Christian Gattinoni, Liliane Giraudon, François Grey, Denis Lanzenberg, Daniel Larrieu, Philippe Le Meur, Sabine Macher, Jean-Baptiste Para, Mireille Roll, Paul Louis Rossi, François Seigneur, Jean-Jacques Viton).
Préface Charles-Arthur Boyeret aussi à trois auteurs photographes. Tous ont cherché un lieu, donné leur point de vue, traversé les mythes, retourné la question dans tous les sens en expliquant par des écrits et des images où et comment, pour eux, le ciel a commencé.

Bernard Plossu

Photographe

Plossu Bernard, born in South Vietnam in 1945, he grew up surrounded by photographs of the desert taken by his father when he went skiing on the dunes of the Sahara in 1937 with Roger Frisian-Roche. Modesty, sensuality, emotion, joy, here is what is the “sap” that already permeate the images of the self that landed in Mexico in 1965 and 1967 to join his grandparents. Travel as a Mexican issue 15 years later its editor Claude Nori. A book that, as the creator of Ed. Contrejour has become a sort of bible for a generation suddenly uninhibited by his freedom of tone and its intimate and poetic vision.
