Art press 2 n°24: L'art en images, images de l'artiste
The February-March-April 2012 issue of art press 2, n°24 highlights the documentary works of graduates from the École nationale supérieure de la photographie (ENSP). Notable projects include Jürgen Nefzger's 'Fluffy Clouds' (2003-2006), which addresses nuclear landscapes, along with his earlier exploration of EuroDisney (1998-2000). Andréa Keen juxtaposes beauty with territorial markers, while Monique Deregibus investigates urban violence from Beirut to Las Vegas. Philippe Bazin portrays the vulnerability of newborns, the elderly, and those with mental illnesses. Pierre Faure looks at self-representation in public areas. Annual photo series are produced by Marc Roig Blesa and Maria Cavaller. Mathieu Pernot challenges police photography, and Valérie Jouve engages with her subjects. Bruno Serralongue captures the alter-globalization movement and the emergence of South Sudan in 'Carnival of Independence' (2011).
