publication · 2026-04-23

Artpress has released a special edition titled 'La photographie. Pratiques contemporaines,' which explores the impact of the digital revolution on photography and its significant transformations. Central to this issue is a roundtable discussion named 'La post-photographie, et après ?' that challenges the idea of photography's demise and highlights current artistic concerns. It addresses various themes, including the revival of traditional techniques, the nature of photographic objects, and emerging documentary styles. Additionally, the issue features a dossier on the Collège international de photographie du Grand Paris (CIPGP), scheduled to launch in Ivry-sur-Seine. This institution, described as both a conservatory and a laboratory, emphasizes analog methods while embracing contemporary adaptations. Notable contributors include Marc Aufraise, Quentin Bajac, and others. The cover showcases Letha Wilson's 'Joshua Tree Steel Cut (Hole)' (2015), a C-print on steel, provided by the artist and Galerie Christophe Gaillard, Paris.
