Il y a une cinquantaine d’années, les gens utilisaient les caméras 35mm et les Instamatics comme nous utilisons nos smartphones à l’ère d’Instagram et de Snapchat. Ils photographiaient ce qu’ils mangeaient et buvaient, leurs lieux de vacances, leurs fêtes. Ils immortalisaient la naissance des bébés, la première bicyclette d’un enfant ou le premier poste de télé couleur de la famille; leurs visites dans les parcs nationaux, leurs parties de pêche, les mariages, les fêtes au bureau, les réunions de familles, les couples qui trinquent, se tiennent la main, s’embrassent, dansent. Des moments qui n’étaient précieux que pour leurs protagonistes et peut-être même pas pour eux. Imaginer la raison pour laquelle un cliché a été pris, les émotions et les motivations enfouies qui ont poussé quelqu’un, il y a plusieurs dizaines d’années, à appuyer sur l’obturateur, telle est la curiosité qui sous-tend The Anonymous Project.
Tout a commencé par une enchère innocente sur eBay. Le réalisateur Lee Shulman acquiert un lot de diapositives 35mm Kodachrome – des photos de famille d’anonymes – et il est si captivé par ce qu’il appelle «la valeur émotionnelle de ces instants de vie» qu’il comprend qu’il va lui en falloir davantage. Il lance The Anonymous Project en 2017 et rassemble près de 700.000 images données ou achetées à des brocanteurs.
Cette anthologie choisie de près de 150 images prises entre les années 1950 et 1970 donne à voir l’intimité de ces anonymes dans leur quotidien un aperçu intime de la vie de ces anonymes. Si les lieux, les dates, les photographes et les sujets pris en photo sont inconnus, ces images et les histoires fascinantes qu’elles renferment nous sont universellement familières.

Hardback. Etat : New. Rewind back to the midcentury, before the age of Instagram and Snapchat, where people were using 35mm cameras loaded with color film to document both monumental and mundane moments in their lives. They took pictures of their loved ones, their vacations, their celebrations. They memorialized the births of babies; a child in a cowboy outfit; a new color television set; sightseeing in National Parks; fishing trips; lazing on the beach; weddings; office parties; family reunions; holding hands, kissing and dancing. Imagining these lives and the possible stories that lie behind the images is what makes The Anonymous Project such a compelling journey into our past. The passing of time is enhanced by the book's narrative that begins with scenes of early childhood and ends with seniors, with all the stages of life in between.It all started with an innocent purchase on eBay. Filmmaker Lee Shulman bought a set of 35mm Kodachrome slides-anonymous family photos-and was so taken with what he calls "the emotional value of these slices of life" that he knew he had to have more. He launched The Anonymous Project in 2017 and has since acquired around 700,000 images either by donation or via vintage sellers. As noted photography critic Richard B. Woodward writes in the introduction: "It is significant-and fascinating-that in virtually every image here, photographer and subject seem to know one another. In this embracing album of humanity, no one exists in isolation. There are no strangers here."This curated collection of around 150 images taken between the 1940s and '70s offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of these anonymous subjects. The locations, dates, and the subjects may be unknown-but these shots taken by skilled amateur photographers, and the fascinating stories they contain, are universally familiar.
