The 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…

Fisheye MagazineDocumentary photography: Let's get to the stories
This 20th issue of Fisheye brings you a feature on documentary photography, a genre that falls between photojournalism and fine art, with a history and writing in motion. A name that is very present today, that can be found on the posters of festivals and galleries. Fisheye tries to shed light on this part of photography by giving a voice to authors, critics and curators, and by going to see what is happening on social networks. This 20th edition will also take you to a panorama of Belgium photography, for a focus on this small country with great talents. You will also go to Switzerland to take a look at the Images Vevey festival, before going to Hong Kong to discover the images of the new generation presented at Photaumnales, and to make a detour to China for a rereading of the Cultural Revolution. Finally, you can dive back into the underground Paris of the 1980s, make a detour to the neighborhoods of the Paris region to meet new entrepreneurs, or be dazzled by L'Indifférence des étoiles, the discovery portfolio by Julien Mauve. This issue also marks the opening of the Fisheye Gallery. A space dedicated to contemporary authors with a strong personal universe. The very good reception you gave us in Arles this summer, with thousands of visitors and several dozen prints sold, pushes us to continue this experimentation that completes our magazine. More and more of you are following us on social networks, on our website, in newsstands or by subscription, and we hope that this craze will also materialize at the Fisheye Gallery in Paris, which will open its doors on September 29th.

Fisheye MagazinePublishing, a new generation turns the page
The world of photo publishing is in the midst of a major shakeup. A new generation of independent publishers is shaking things up. Favoring the production of book-objects made with inventive graphic designers, they are reviving an editorial audacity that was thought to have disappeared. These new players are taking note of the difficulties of the market and are taking advantage of the new tools of production and distribution to develop creative works where the writing of tomorrow is invented. Let's dive into this laboratory of photography through a dozen publishers of this new wave.

Fisheye MagazineMonth of Photography, the bet of Greater Paris
The new Month of Photography plays on openness and curiosity. Beyond the institutional venues and specialized galleries that usually mark out the event, this edition ventures into lesser-known places in the Parisian suburbs with an eclectic program and no less than a hundred exhibitions. The organizers do not produce, they federate, galvanize, highlight and attempt a collective adventure. In these mysteries, we went in search of meaning to offer you our reading. Are we objective? Certainly not, and this is what we propose: a reading of the world, a point of view through photography. We went to look at amateur photography and participative exhibitions: Le Grand Paris vu de nos fenêtres and L'Histoire est à Noue. We were interested in thematic exhibitions that tell us our history: Autophoto and L'Esprit français, 1969-1989, among others. And we went to discover the work of students, these researchers who question photography in their "laboratories". We have also prepared a selection of about twenty exhibitions not to be missed. In this issue, you will also find a focus on India, which explores the photo manifestations of the sub-continent. You'll go into photo novel mode in cities held by the FN, before venturing on Jack Kerouac's last road, making a detour to Upper Volta, and then visiting Stéphane Lavoué's Le Royaume, a new exhibition at the Fisheye Gallery (March 30 to May 6, 2017).
