Featuring artists including Philippe Bazin, Arnaud Claass, Corinne Mercadier, Catherine Poncin and Patrick Tosani, this book is not a succession of essays but a genuine crossing and theoretical distillation drawing on the thinking of the artists convened alongside young researchers elaborating new theoretical frameworks, built from an inter-university seminar between Paris 8 and Paris 1 since 2010, structured in six chapters named after the verbs repeat, reproduce, represent, transcribe, translate and transmit, proposing a new way of thinking the photographic today from a corpus of artists' statements and doctoral and master's research.
