Premier photographe français à avoir consacré sa vie à documenter l'Amérique des années 1960 aux années 1980, Jean-Pierre Laffont offre, à travers ses photographies emblématiques, le regard d'un observateur extérieur sur les phénomènes d'une génération marquée par sa volonté de remettre en question les normes établies.
En 1964, Jean-Pierre Laffont est arrivé aux États-Unis en tant qu'immigrant muni d'un appareil photo, ce qui lui a permis de documenter la contre-culture de près. Né d'une opposition croissante au capitalisme et au matérialisme, le mouvement de la contre-culture était une insurrection massive menée par la jeunesse qui a façonné l'identité et la mémoire collective de l'Amérique. Ce dernier projet comprend plus de cent cinquante photographies et constitue une célébration kaléidoscopique des rébellions, notamment les manifestations contre la guerre du Vietnam, le mouvement des droits civiques, la libération des femmes, le mouvement LGBTQ+, les hippies, les religions et les gangs. Ces photographies offrent un aperçu des différents groupes et mouvement qui ont peuplé une période ayant indélébilement modifié le cours de l'histoire américaine

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Rebels with a Cause invites viewers to consider how visual culture shapes historical memory and how images circulate between activism, art, and personal archive. Rebels with a Cause presents Jean-Pierre Laffonts deeply personal photobook on a formative period of American history, when counterculture ignited a series of cultural revolutions that continue to shape our lives today. As the first French photographer to dedicate his life to documenting America from the 1960s to 1980s, Jean-Pierre Laffonts iconic photographs offer an outsiders perspective on the phenomena of a generation defined by their drive to question established norms. In 1965, Jean-Pierre Laffont arrived in the United States as an immigrant with a camera, allowing him to document the counterculture up close. Borne out of growing opposition to capitalism and materialism, the counterculture movement was a massive youth-driven insurrection that shaped the identity and collective memory of America. This latest project is a kaleidoscopic celebration of rebellions, including the Vietnam War protests, the civil rights movement, womens liberation, the LGBTQ+ movement, hippies, religions, and gangs. These photographs give viewers a window into the groups that populated a period that indelibly altered the course of American history. Laffonts latest book, Rebels with a Cause, includes over one hundred and fifty photographs as well as a foreword by Pulitzer Prize finalist Lucy Sante which serves as the foundation of the next exhibition. Organized by themes, Rebels with a Cause contains paragraphs devoted to specific movements including Black Style: Trailblazing Changes in Fashion, Gangs: Arousing City Phenomenon, LGBTQ+: The Birth of a Movement, Spiritual Groups: Faith in the Streets, and other culturally significant shifts, including the protests that took over streets and campuses across America. The exhibition uses visual sequencing to allow viewers to encounter the work as both art and historical artifact. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9788862088626
