(Auto)censorship, art as a victim of fear
In the contents of this 11th issue of Fisheye, there is a twenty-page dossier on the night, largely illustrated with works by contemporary photographers who talk about their nocturnal approach. In counterpoint, a short outline of a history of night photography puts these approaches in perspective.
We also find a portrait of a young photographer of 24 years, Raphaël Yaghobzadeh, symbol of a generation that questions photojournalism; a report on the origin and the functioning of the Everyday Egypt movement on Instagram; an unpublished portfolio by Luc Choquer on women in Istanbul; an investigation on the pressures that led to the removal of several works in recent weeks; several pages on the new services offered to photographers; an incursion into the photo department of the Elysée Palace; a report by Grégoire Korganow on French prisons; a review of the Festival of Fashion and Photography in Hyères on the occasion of its 30th edition; an unpublished portfolio of architectural images by Matthias Heiderich; and even a little trip to a fishmonger’s shop that exhibits photos on top of his sardines. And, of course, all the other sections: Tumblr of the readers, Video art, Job, Web project, Exhibitions, Books, Camera test, Photo workshop, Education, Chronicles… In short, something to consider the arrival of spring with a smile.

Fisheye MagazinePhotographers and Politics: Power Games
2017 will be an intense political year, between the election of a new President of the Republic next May and the election of the National Assembly in June. A great opportunity to examine the relationship between photographers and politicians, who regularly clash over issues of the power of image and the image of power. The views of a dozen authors served as guides in this investigation and led us to editorial offices, print and web, and social networks. A way to decipher how, from information to propaganda, images try to take power over our consciences. This issue also focuses on the new edition of Circulation(s), on a trip to Lianzhou, China, the land of all photographic possibilities, to New Orleans by night and to nightclubs by day. You will also descend into the bowels of the Earth with Raphaël Dallaporta to (re)visit the Chauvet cave in a surprising way. You will go to Haiti to discover Kolektif 2 Dimansyon, and then Corentin Fohlen's offbeat look presented at the Fisheye Gallery, starting January 18. You will travel to Flint, Michigan, to meet Claressa "T-Rex", a young woman who has just won her second Olympic boxing title in Rio.

Fisheye MagazineSocial photography, activist practices
More than photojournalists who respond to press orders, the actors of social photography make their practice a life choice, which is also a political choice. With new writings to awaken our consciences. A photography of commitment that renews the classic approaches of photoreportage to move the lines. The authors presented in this dossier propose us to look at what we don't see, what we don't want to see, what we can't see anymore.

Fisheye MagazineThe automated image, authors take on machines
Images that are made without any human intention are growing and proliferating around us. Photomatons, surveillance cameras, satellites, drones... If these images could lead one to believe at first sight that the authors have disappeared, the latter turn the paradox around by using them as material to regain their authority. The development of techniques always reveals the concerns of a society and its technological unconscious, and these new photographs tell us something of our time. We therefore ask the question of these images without author. What do they bring? What do they tell? What are their uses? How do artists take possession of them? The subject is vast and touches the borders of freedom. With this mass of photos, the reflection is now on their analysis and their exploitation in this "marvellous" set that is the Big Data. Each automated image contributes to a system that is questionable, to say the least, and yet no one refutes it. As a society magazine about images, we had to open the debate. In this issue, you will also find a report on phototherapy, an investigation on photography in China, a portrait of Eileen Gittins, the founder of Blurb, and of course portfolios such as the one by Géraldine Millo on young people in training, or the one by Estelle Hanania which features funny characters conjuring up the evil spirits of winter. With also David Burnett's view on sports, and many other things...
