Nieprzezroczyste. Historie chłopskiej fotografii

Nowa książka Agnieszki Pajączkowskiej odbiła się echem w mediach i nazwana została najlepszą książką o chłopach. Okazała się też wielkim rozczarowaniem, na poziomie podrzędnego magistra a nie kobiety z tytułem naukowym i licznymi nagrodami. Continue reading Untitled

[slow-cinema]

“In his introduction to the book, editor Itzhak Goldberg points out that (as I have previously argued in the context of Slow Cinema) the larger visibility of emptiness as a subject is, as such, not a recent phenomenon. Rather, emptiness has always been there, but external circumstances, such as the increased speed of our lives, make us more aware of the opposite: of slowness, of nothingness, emptiness. It’s like you searching for something to do when you’re bored. Nothingness gives way to fullness, and the other way around. In his online article about emptiness in art, André Rouillé argues – to me quite convincingly – that art has the opportunity to set itself apart from all other mediated images in a world full of images by putting emptiness (or nothingness) at their centre. According to Rouillé, the media are condemned to be fast all the time. It is about grabbing the spectator, about reporting first about an important event. It is, as he says, all about the spectacle, which makes me think of Guy Debord’s Society of the Spectacle and his own comments on it. In any case, Rouillé suggests that art can function as the antidote of this ever-increasing speed, which is being normalised by the (spectacle of the) media.“

Fotografia. Między dokumentem a sztuką współczesną

Nie raz słyszeliście o historii fotografii. Wynaleziona wtedy a wtedy, przez tego a tego. Inną wersją tej opowieści jest przewodnik po słynnych zdjęciach od zarania do chwili obecnej. Mniej lub bardziej obecnej. Tymczasem, za każdym zjawiskiem stoją jakieś idee. Toczy się dyskurs. Pisane są sążniste manifesty, toczy się ideologiczna walka. Właśnie o tym jest książka autorstwa André Rouillé:…

EN MONDE RURAL

Anna Maisonneuve / © Raymond Depardon / Magnum - Marcel Privat, Le Villaret, Lozère.

Succédant à Sebastião Salgado, Bernard Plossu ou Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Raymond Depardon envahit les cimaises de la galerie dédiée aux expositions du château Palmer à Margaux avec une quarantaine de clichés prenant pour thème « La terre des paysans ».

Il a parcouru les quatre coins du globe. Rapporté des images d’Alger sous tension. Couvert une expédition scientifique au Sahara. Capté les lumières froides et incroyables de la ville de Glasgow en 1980 à la demande du Sunday Times Magazine. Réalisé un reportage sur Beyrouth pour Stern. Immortalisé une Trabant, voiture symbole de la RDA en panne dans un champ. Rencontré des nomades toubous au nord du Tchad comme des gratte-ciel à New York. Sillonné le Rwanda, le Soudan, le Vietnam, les États-Unis, la Mauritanie, l’Afghanistan, l’Angola…

Mais sa quête la plus personnelle prend pour point de départ la ferme familiale du Garet, à proximité de Villefranche-sur-Saône. Là où s’écoule son enfance et s’accomplit son éveil à la photographie. « Un Noël, mes parents ont offert à mon frère un appareil photo très rudimentaire : un Lumière 6x6. J’étais très jeune, mon frère l’a laissé traîner et je lui ai vite emprunté, j’ai commencé à photographier mes parents dans la cuisine un jour de semaine, puis un dimanche, juste avant d’aller visiter des cousins dans la Bresse… ��

Raymond Depardon a 12 ans. 6 ans plus tard, il quitte Garet pour Paris et entame sa carrière de reporter. Pour autant, les attaches matricielles s’entêtent au point de s’inviter en filigrane dans nombre de ses travaux. En 1984, une commande de la DATAR (Délégation interministérielle de l’Aménagement du Territoire et de l’Attractivité Régionale) lui offre l’occasion d’y retourner. « Je fus volontaire et enthousiaste pour photographier la ferme de mes parents et ses environs, raconte-t-il. J’en voulais à l’Aménagement du territoire qui avait fait tant de mal à mon père en lui prenant de force ses terres si fertiles pour faire passer l’autoroute en plein milieu de ses champs, puis qui avait décrété zone industrielle et commerçante le reste de ses terres. Je tenais les gens qui avaient pris ces décisions pour responsables de la détérioration de sa santé. Il s’était fait beaucoup de souci jusqu’à sa disparition, à soixante-treize ans. Usé par le travail sans doute, mais surtout en colère et impuissant contre l’expropriation de ses terres. »

Ce projet marque le prélude d’une aventure intime : photographier la France rurale. Il sera emboîté par d’autres : une commande du journal Pèlerin en 1986, une autre pour Libération trois ans plus tard toujours sur le thème de la ruralité. Suivront la publication du livre La Ferme du Garet, en 1995, et la trilogie cinématographique Profils paysans, entamée en 2000.

À Margaux, l’exposition restitue ce parcours thématique à travers un ensemble d’images prises entre 1960 et 2007. Les explorations de Raymond Depardon entrelacent portrait introspectif et témoignages sociologiques d’une France reculée, qui se partage entre la Haute-Loire, l’Ardèche, la Lozère, le nord de la Dordogne, les Ardennes, la Saône-et-Loire ou l’Ariège.

Au fil des saisons, on rencontre les agriculteurs Marcel et Raymond Privat. En 1993 puis en 2007. Le visage de Paul Argaud émacié par 15 ans d’intervalle. Marcel et Germaine Chalaye Le Rey. Le père et la mère de Raymond Depardon. Un paysan devant son étable flanquée de la mention « indemne de tuberculose » signée par le service vétérinaire du département. Dehors avec les bêtes ou dans leur vaste cuisine, de celle qui habite les souvenirs de tous ceux qui ont foulé les terres de leurs aïeux : avec toile cirée, poêle à bois, buffet et tic-tac immuable de la pendule.

Ailleurs, une hache trône solitairement au milieu de restes de bûches coupées. Un chien traverse une route. Dans un village désert, deux hommes, les mains dans les poches, sortent d’un café avec autour d’eux, la neige fondue qui trace les allées et venues de fantomatiques automobiles.

Sobre, pudique et éminemment émouvant, ce travail illustre aussi l’un des préceptes esthétiques de Depardon : une photographie « des temps faibles » développée par opposition à l’« instant décisif » d’Henri Cartier-Bresson : « Dans une photographie du temps faible, rien ne se passerait. Il n’y aurait aucun intérêt, pas de moment décisif, pas de couleurs ni de lumières magnifiques, pas de petit rayon de soleil, pas de chimie bricolée – sauf pour obtenir une extrême douceur (1). »

radiographie

Les radiographie mettent en jeu d'autres perceptions du corps, d'autres visibilités et d'autre savoirs, ainsi que d'autres lieux et d'autres pratiques. Alors qu'à la Salpêtrière la photographie était une image pour le médecin, la radiographie est, selon Albert Londe, une image pour le malade : pour son traitement et sa guérison. Avec la radiographie, l'image médicale devient un outil à diagnostiquer, et à soigner, notamment certaines tumeurs, mais aussi à tuer - faute de s'être protégés, nombre de radiologues succomberont aux trop longues expositions à l'action des rayons X. Outil thérapeutique et de mort, rayonnement invisible producteur de nouvelles visibilités, la radiographie est dotée d'effets miraculeux : elle fait disparaître d'énormes sarcomes, inverse les opaque des corps, et dévoile leurs inaccessibles profondeurs. Le radiologue procède à une véritable autopsie sur le vif et sans lésion, il faut, pour la première fois, pénétrer le regard dans les profondeurs des chairs et des organes. Ainsi sont redistribués le visible et l'invisible, les rapports entre l'extérieur et l'intérieur des corps. André Rouillé, La photographie, Gallimard, 2005, p. 152.
