Thaddé Comar: Aujourd'hui

This volume presents Thaddé Comar's latest series, which explores the question of information and the ways it is staged through the “media machine”. To bear witness to this highly topical subject, Thaddé Comar went to the Assemblée Nationale and the Palais de Justice in Paris. His images depict politicians immersed in a forest of microphones, cameras and poles, highlighting the dense, often impenetrable world of the media, and our desensitisation to it. Accompanied by various texts. This series, produced specifically for the book, is put into perspective with an essay by Nathalie Herschdorfer, director of the Photo Élysée Museum in Lausanne, which contextualizes Thaddé Comar's work within the history of photography. This text is accompanied by an interview with curator Song Tae Chong, presenting the creation of the 7L Photography Grand Jury Prize. Finally, writer Fabienne Radi has imagined a short story echoing the photographer's theme of public discourse.Aujourd'hui inaugurates the new collection of the Grand Prix du jury de la Photographie 7L, revealing a new generation of photographers.
