Harry Gruyaert at the festival

“Harry Gruyaert – le photographe qui fait vibrer les couleurs”
Membre de l’agence Magnum depuis 1981, le photographe belge Harry Gruyaert est un des grands maîtres de la photographie en couleur. Dans ses images puisées aux quatre coins du monde, il donne à la couleur une dimension purement émotive, non narrative et radicalement graphique. Pionnier européen de la couleur depuis les années 1970-80, aux côtés de ses compères américains tels que Saul Leiter, Joel Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore et William Eggleston, Harry Gruyaert a développé un ton chromatique qui n’appartient qu’à lui, un mélange de poésie, surréalisme et ironie.
” Ses rouges sang cueillis en Suède, ses noirs profonds empruntés aux ombres de Meknès, ses verts métalliques importés de Bruxelles sautent à la gorge comme une émotion brute, pure, qui bouscule les spectateurs, les caresse, les plonge parfois dans les ténèbres, pour ensuite les ramener à la vie. ” Télérama
Dans sa conférence, Harry Gruyaert nous parlera de sa façon très intuitive de regarder le monde en couleurs. Il nous présentera en particulier son ouvrage le plus récent, East/West, paru aux Editions Textuel.

Christian Reister at the festival
“Capturing the life stories of ordinary people and the environments that bear silent witness to those tales”
Christian Reister, *1972, lives and works in Berlin, Germany. He started photography in 2001 and has been working mainly on urban streets and city life ever since. After taking his pictures in colour for the first 10 years he switched to black and white in 2011. His main focus today is on Berlin’s night life which he documents in a very subjective diary-like way: dark, grainy and often blurry.
However one describes the photographic style he evolved into, by looking at his photographs, the viewer feels like he is drawn deeply into the dynamic nights of the cities where Christian is photographing.
As important as the act of taking pictures, to Christian is the process of editing, developing and layouting image series for different media such as exhibition installations, photo films, live projections, photobooks, zines or silk screen prints.
Christian Reister’s work has been published and exhibited internationally with different solo exhibitions, screenings, festivals and in the press. He is the author of several photobooks, amongst them “Alex” (2010) and “Alle Katzen grau” (2015). From 2016 on he has been publishing his ongoing zines series “Driftwood”. He is also co-author of the interview blog Obst und Muse.
The audience will have the possibility to ask questions at the end during the Q&A part.
In addition Christian will take part in the discussion panel after the conferences.

“The most intense way of observing everyday life”
Txema Salvans is a Catalan photographer born in 1971. He chose photography because “it is the most intense way of observing and experiencing everyday life”. Txema began studying biology at the University of Barcelona before joining the International Center of Photography in New York. His first exhibitions took place in the 1990s at the Museum of Modern Art in Madrid. In 2003, he exhibited at VISA for Image. Since 2000, he has authored many photo books. For the past two decades, Txema Salvans has developed a documentary approach outside the conventional photojournalist platforms, in photoessays that balance critical thinking with a poetic sense of humour. His book project “Nice to Meet You” (Actar, 2005) received the 2005 PhotoEspaña award for best Spanish photobook. “The Waiting Game” (RM, 2014), winner of the 2012 Iberoamerican Photobook Competition, explores prostitution and the necessity of desire along the Mediterranean coastline of Spain.
Txema will speak about his approach to street photography, how he starts a project and about his books.
The audience will have the possibility to ask questions at the end during the Q&A part.
