Synopsis

En 2007, Nicolas Righetti photographie une Damas saturée de portraits et slogans de Bachar al-Assad, symboles d'une propagande omniprésente. Yes To A Rosy Future associe ces clichés à des discours officiels, explorant l'image du pouvoir et sa répression. À l'aube du Printemps arabe, ces représentations prennent une résonance nouvelle.

À propos de l?auteur

Nicolas Righetti was born in Geneva in 1967 and studied at the Beaux-Arts de Geneve. His travels, particularly in Asia, sparked in interest in totalitarian politicians and how they are represented and this became the basis for Righetti s work to come. Righetti is a member of the photo agency Rezo and works for numerous publications, including La Repubblica, Newsweek, The New Yorker and The New York Times. Yes To A Rosy Future is Righetti's third book exploring how power is projected within dictatorships and capturing the megalomaniacal leaders of such regimes. The Last Paradise, Righetti's book on North Korea (published by Olizane/Umbrage), won the 2004 Swiss Press Award in the 'Foreign' category. He then went on to receive the World Press First Prize in the category 'Portrait Stories' in 2007 for his work on the former head of Turkmenistan which was published by Trolley in the book, Love Me Turkmenistan.
