- Ces
photographies font partie de la série "Figures du
pouvoir".
- Elles montrent le pouvoir, en France, en
ce début de 21ème siècle.
- Plus
exactement, ces photographies montrent des hommes de
pouvoir, ce qui n'est pas la même chose.
- Si
le pouvoir est immuable, les hommes de pouvoir, eux, sont
friables.
- Ils
sont ministres, financiers, publicitaires, patrons de
médias...
- Ce
qui est photographié, c'est un pouvoir en
mutation, en suspens, peut-être en train de
disparaître.
- Le
pouvoir est ce rêve de défier le temps, en
sachant que le temps sera plus fort.
- L'homme de pouvoir sait qu'il a
perdu.
TRAVAIL EN COURS - WORK IN PROGRESS
- These photographs belong to the cycle
"Figures du pouvoir / Figures of influence".
- They
show power in France at the beginning of the 21st
century.
- More
precisely, these pictures show men of authority, which is
not exactly the same.
- If
power is immutable, men of authority are actually
«flaky».
- They
are ministers, financiers, admen, press owners. What is
portrayed here is a power undergoing radical
transformation, poised.
- Do
ministers still have real power?
- Several people among the admen have been
part of the golden age in advertising during the 80's and
90's. Nowadays it has completely changed. Advertising
gave way to an exclusive image. Newspaper and magazines
will still exist within 10 years?
- What
is photographed is a disappearing world.
- The
power is the dream of defying the time, but well-knowing
that the time will be stronger.
- The
man of authority knows he has lost.
