Désordres :: Antoine d'Agata publie un livre aux Editions Voies Off

<p> <em><strong>"Disorders"</strong></em></p> <p> <strong>Antoine d’Agata /  Voies Off Publishing</strong></p> <p> <strong>A book, two parallel roads, 20 years of photography </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of <em>Voies Off</em> Festival, we are publishing "Disorders", Antoine d'Agata’s latest book. It highlights 20 years of his photographic work. A beautiful way to celebrate our parallels roads, and share this event with you. </p> <p>  </p> <p> “Confronted with a global ruling power that generates an inflation of stereotypical images, and with the multiplication of these images by cultural industries, facing a generalized obscenity, being / living has become the sole meaningful challenge; and the sole possible master piece can only be the perpetration of senseless acts.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> Antoine d’Agata</p> <p>  </p> <p> ________________________________________________________</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><em>DISORDERS</em> :: A STORY</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> For its first edition in Arles (1996), <em>Voies Off</em> Festival presented the work of Antoine d'Agata, an unknown photographer based in Marseille. From the first meeting, we discovered the artist’s talent and deep dedication to his work, a dedication that he has been entertaining through a complicated relationship with the world and  photography. </p> <p>  </p> <p> That series of images, "<em>Mala noche</em>", photographs of a trip across the United States and Mexico, was quickly recognized as a major work, awarded the <em>Voies Off</em> Prize, while supported by famous French photo-editor and curator, Christian Caujolle, also the founder and director of the <em>VU </em>photo-agency (and gallery).</p> <p>  </p> <p> During the twenty years that elapsed between 1995 and 2015, Antoine d’Agata asserted his style, producing a succession of series in his very atypical way. A good deal of these works start from a documentary approach, with a definite “concerned” and militant slant: human migrations, wars, prostitution…</p> <p>  </p> <p> In 2013, the exhibition "Anticorps" (Antibodies) at the BAL gallery in Paris, as well as  a book of the same title published by Xavier Barral celebrated this stage of his career.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Antoine d'Agata</strong> <strong>is a member of the prestigious Magnum agency. He is represented by <em>Les filles du calvaire</em> gallery, in Paris.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Desordres_antoine_dagata__page_06-1433520276" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/206793/Desordres_Antoine_DAgata__Page_06-1433520276.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Desordres_antoine_dagata__page_19-1433520292" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/206794/Desordres_Antoine_DAgata__Page_19-1433520292.jpg">© Antoine D'Agata/Magnum Photos</p> <p>  </p> <p> ________________________________________________________</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><em>DISORDERS </em></strong><strong>:: PUSHING THE LIMITS</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> All along these years, and his projects and trips, Antoine d’Agata has relentlessly tracked and documented situations of emergency. This documentary aspect of his work, a corner stone of his œuvre, has never been extensively displayed in any sort of manifesto book that would generate a better understanding of the meaning of his concerned commitment.</p> <p>  </p> <p> We would like to give this book a chance to exist. That is the very reason why we need you to show your own commitment and participation.</p> <p>  </p> <p> One of the core qualities of this book lies about fifty texts written by the artist himself, between 1995 and 2015. These texts illustrate Antoine d’Agata’s reflections on, and assessment of his photographic practice.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Many have had the opportunity to encounter Antoine d’Agata's photographic work, but rare are those who have been lucky enough to indulge in his writings.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>:: <em>Disorders</em></strong></p> <p> <strong>:: <em>Voies Off</em> Publishing</strong></p> <p> <strong>:: Book size: 24 cm x 32 cm</strong></p> <p> <strong>:: Hard cover</strong></p> <p> <strong>:: 128 black &amp; white and colors pages.</strong></p> <p> <strong>:: 96 pages of photographs</strong></p> <p> <strong>:: 50 pages of text</strong></p> <p> <strong>:: Designed by Antoine d’Agata in collaboration with Voies Off</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> “Only an art that is noxious, subversive, asocial, atheist, erotic, and immoral, an antidote to the infectious spectacle that neutralizes the spirits and distils death, only such an art can be valid.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> Antoine d’Agata</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Desordres_antoine_dagata__page_32-1433520337" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/206796/Desordres_Antoine_DAgata__Page_32-1433520337.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Desordres_antoine_dagata__page_33-1433520413" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/206802/Desordres_Antoine_DAgata__Page_33-1433520413.jpg"></p> <p> © Antoine D'Agata/Magnum Photos</p> <p>  </p> <p> ________________________________________________________</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>A NETWORK OF PARTNERS</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> A great publishing project cannot be created without any support, without any helping network, without any friend.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>Voies Off</em>  is extremely grateful to the partners of the book :</p> <p> <em>Les filles du calvaire</em> gallery (Paris),</p> <p> Magnum Photos,</p> <p> Escourbiac Printing Company (Graulhet).</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Ligne_logo-1433171774" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/205234/Ligne_logo-1433171774.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> ________________________________________________________</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>THE 20th EDITION OF <em>VOIES OFF</em> FESTIVAL</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> Inaugurated in Arles, twenty years ago, <strong><em>Voies Off</em> Festival</strong> aims to support emerging photographers during the Rencontres d'Arles festival. <em>Voies Off</em> Festival has offered an alternative approach and stage to emerging contemporary photography, its particulars, its evolutions, and its areas of resistance.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>20 years later, to celebrate together this great anniversary, <em>Voies Off</em> is inviting Antoine d'Agata again in order to create an exceptional book, and to create an exhibition that will be one of the highlights of <em>Voies Off 2015</em> Festival.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> This renewed collaboration and mutual trust came as an evidence, we deeply and sincerely thank Antoine for his committed confidence.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Every year, at the beginning of July, <em>Voies Off</em> Festival during <em>Les Rencontres d'Arles </em>shares the best of contemporary photography during evenings of night projections in a historical setting.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Over time, <em>Voies Off</em> has become a signature name, informed and nurtured by its expertise and its experience of 20 years in the field of contemporary photography, its artistic choices and its achievements. The festival spreads a thought in constant motion which, thanks to the vision of the artists, attempts to decrypt our contemporary world.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>Voies Off</em> Festival is an alternative to as well as a complement of <em>Les Rencontres d'Arles</em>, a talent spotter and a mediator with a general public.</p> <p>  </p> <p> This anniversary edition will be marked by exhibitions, events, and night projections in the Cour de l'Archêché and the Place du Forum, at the heart of the city of Arles.</p> <p>  </p> <p> As one of the highlights of this program, <strong>Antoine d'Agata has been invited to design and curate an exhibition </strong>which will be presented at <em>Voies Off</em> Gallery, from July 6th until September 20th, 2015.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="http://voies-off.com/" target="_blank">voies-off.com </a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Photographe-florent-gardin-0025-1432648371" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/202886/PHOTOGRAPHE-FLORENT-GARDIN-0025-1432648371.jpg"></p> <p> © Florent Gardin</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="02___jorge_pedro-1433172149" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/205245/02___Jorge_Pedro-1433172149.jpg"></p> <p> © Jorge Pedro</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="09___florent_gardin-1433172159" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/205246/09___Florent_Gardin-1433172159.jpg"></p> <p> © Florent Gardin</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> ________________________________________________________</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>ANTOINE D’AGATA</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> “I document what I live while I am living it, in a quasi impossibility to exist outside photography that has grafted itself on my fears and my desires, living off them like of some living flesh.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> Adrift since 1983, Antoine d' Agata photographs worldwide. Le BAL dedicated an exhibition to his work from January to April, 2013.
