La Fonte Des Bois. Jérémie Gindre. published by Attitudes, Genève
D 15€

Il s’agit d’un roman-photos. Un roman-photos conçu en Laponie finlandaise. La Laponie finlandaise se situant un peu en dessous mais plutôt en dessus du Cercle Polaire. Le Cercle Polaire passe par le Village du Père Noël®. Le Village du Père Noël® possède son propre office de poste. La poste d’Ivalo, quant à elle, est à 200m de la gare routière. Cette gare routière comprend un snack ou l’on peut manger de la pizza à la viande de rennes. Les rennes se tiennent souvent sur la route en été parce qu’il y a moins de moustiques. Les moustiques sont peut-être sensibles aux ondes infra-rouges. Apprenez tout cela et même plus encore en lisant “La Fonte des Bois”, roman-photos en 5 chapitres. 104 pages / couleurs Postface par Hervé Laurent.

Birds At Airports, Philippe Desarzens

is a self published project achieved during bird’s autumn migration period in 2003.
It includes a booklet / poster. Airports today are interesting places to observe the human-bird
interaction. A multitude of decoys, signs or sounds are used to scare off birds.
This work is also a reflection on our way to communicate.

Ghostown, Laurence Bonvin. Published by Madrid Abierto.

Ghostown is a photographic project about some of the new neighbourhoods in and around Madrid, mainly Seseña in the South and Valdeluz in the North. The series of photographs looks at the state of these places after the financial crisis severely hit Spain at the end of 2008, triggering the collapse of the real estate sector.
Constructions were either brutally suspended ¬- like in Valdeluz, an unfinished city planned for 30.000 where a mere 400 people live at the present time. Or, as in Seseña, left empty due to speculation as the large majority of owners never intend to live in this remote area and are now unable to sell their flats. Ghostown is a journey through the uncanny vacancy and observes the lifeless, melancholic state of these on-going construction sites.
During MADRID ABIERTO 2010 Ghostown will be showcased in different formats: as a free large format publication, as postcards as well as images published in the newspaper Público.
