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 MagazineChina in transition
It is to a real exploration that our dossier dedicated to the photographic creation in China invites you. In addition to a report that took us to Lianzhou to discover the first public museum of photography, to Xiamen for the second edition of the Jimei x Arles International Photo Festival, and to Hong Kong to visit the new galleries, you will find many portfolios and analyses to understand the reasons for this effervescence. Chinese photographers bear witness to the mutations of their country through their views and experiments, using in turn documentary images, staging, performance, vernacular images, video or virtual worlds.

Fisheye MagazinePhotographers play it collective
For this back-to-school issue, we asked ourselves about collaborative work in photography. Faced with the myth of the lone wolf photographer, we had to highlight the increasing number of initiatives that see works being developed within a mutual reflection where each one enriches rather than vamps on the other. Our dossier shows the multitude of points of view and the ability to put egos behind the common achievement. Fisheye investigated in France and abroad by interviewing photographers who tell us about their journey. And by discovering experiences which, like so many laboratories, seek solutions to continue to invent what photography allows to explore. Let's embark on a journey to Cambodia, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Congo, Poland, Canada, Angola, Argentina, and of course France, for a visit to photographers who have decided to work together. From the Month of Photography in Montreal, which questions the post-photographic condition with Joan Fontcuberta, to the Photaumnales, which revisits old processes, via a panorama of Swiss photography, the new edition of Photoquai, the saga from Hara-Kiri to Charlie Hebdo, the dive into Peter Menzel's archives to the emergence of the Internet, or the controversy over Robert Capa's D-Day photos, this new issue of Fisheye should tickle your curiosity.

Fisheye MagazineModern Bestiary
Fisheye is a society magazine that deals with the world through the eyes of photographers, and it seemed obvious to us that authors engaged in the representation of animals had new things to tell us. With images that speak above all about us, humans, and the way we project our fears, our weaknesses and our social organizations onto animals. Finding the authors around the globe was a delight, a real treasure hunt that allowed us to find beautiful, funny, moving or inspiring nuggets. Contemporary wildlife photography delivers strong messages, like William Wegman, who signs the cover of this issue. This 24th edition of Fisheye went to the country of the Rising Sun to see what was happening in Kyotographie, the new up-and-coming festival, before exploring the photographic offerings of the Netherlands, as generous as they are varied. Then it was to Sweden, in the suburbs of Malmö, that Martin Bogren took us with his Tractor Boys, offering us, thanks to his smoky images, a dizzying journey into the world of teenagers. But we didn't neglect France, either, as we went to La Gacilly, in Brittany, to discover emerging talents, or to Vichy, where the Modds agency exhibited its French touch at the Portrait(s) festival. This issue also takes you to other territories: Adobe is preparing a revolution that should reshape the landscape in depth; some municipalities are deploying their anti-homeless arsenal, which the Survival Group catalogues in images... But fortunately, Guerlain brings us a touch of poetry with the photos of Sarah Moon, Alice Springs and Dolorès Marat, who take a look at women...
