Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal 2003
NOW. Images of Present Time
Edited by Vincent Lavoie
Guest Curator, 8th edition
NOW. Images of Present Time brings together contributors with diverse professional and theoretical perspectives (psychoanalysis, media studies, philosophy, political sciences, etc.): Ariella Azoulay, Guy Bellavance, Anne Bénichou, Albert Boime, Malcolm Foley + J. John Lennon, Robert Graham, Edgar Roskis, and John Taylor. Previously unpublished analyses and essays discuss such matters as the rituals of the media, the monumentalization of press imagery, the artistic interpretation of the catastrophic, the manner in which the impact of an event will colour the reception of its depiction, the rejection of the event, compassion fatigue, and the privileges of the spectator/witness. In 2004, this bilingual and richly illustrated publication won the Grand Prix Grafika Award for books.
