Chine : instantanés de voyages

Quarante ans de photographie en Chine

Choses vues

Pensa a se stesso più come viandante che come viaggiatore, ma in realtà ha percorso la terra, dalla Cina all'Arabia. al Vietnam, agli Stati Uniti. Marc Riboud, classe 1923, membro dell'agenzia Magnum, non è in ogni caso un reporter nel senso classico del termine. Riluttante di fronte alla violenza, ma trascinato dalla curiosità di vedere nonostante tutto, straniero alla ricerca dell'avvenimento, prova un fascino irresistibile per il mondo intero. Dalla Rivoluzione culturale alle manifestazioni anti Nixon. si interroga sul potere delle immagini e attende che la verità interiore possa affiorare "alla superficie delle cose".

" Riboud est de ceux qui emportent leur caméra dans la rue, dans les champs, sur les routes du monde ", écrit Claude Roy. Images engagées ou photos buissonnières, depuis cinquante ans Marc Riboud sillonne le monde comme un reporter, un voyageur, un promeneur qui aime prendre son temps. Dans ce recueil de Photos choisies, les amateurs retrouveront ce plaisir de l'œil, ce goût de la surprise, cette sympathie pour les êtres qui caractérisent les images de ce grand photographe longtemps associé à l'agence Magnum. Cet ouvrage illustre à merveille cette définition du photographe selon Walker Evans : " un joyeux sensuel parce que l'œil manipule les sens et non les idées ".
