A propos de cet article

1st Printing. 120 pages. Published in 2006. Retrospective Exhibition Monograph. Collection of color portrait-photographs. One of the best books on the photographic art and achievement of Charles Freger. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only that was not commercially distributed outside Luxembourg. The Exhibition Monograph is now scarce. A brilliant production by Charles Freger: Regular-sized volume format. Glossy pictorial softcovers with white titles embossed on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Charles Freger. Text by Stephane Bern-Schlanger in the French original and felicitous English translation. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Liege, Belgium to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the retrospective exhibition held at the Musee d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean in 2006. Presents Charles Freger's "LUX". A selection of his oeuvre thus far, in a landmark show: Sports teams, ballet dancers, schoolchildren, the military, and workers, all young people as themselves while being self-identified members of a group ("tribe"). The work of a brilliant portrait-photographer whose only possible equal is Rineke Dijkstra, the Freger Style is documentary PLUS portrait. His antecedent is August Sander, with an opposite twist: His portraits present not a national community (as Sander does) but the individuals who give a specific community its face and form. As such, his work is neither purely documentary or sociological. His emphasis on individual particularity repudiates nationalism as well as "globalization" and "the human family", the most cherished ideas of humanist-photojournalists (and corporations), as nothing more and nothing less than a myth. Instead, he suggests, human beings choose, almost innately, to identify with a much smaller community than the nation or the UN. With every seemingly exotic portrait, Freger poses the same provocative and compelling questions: Why do I choose to belong to a tribe? Why do I adhere to its rules? Why do I believe in the necessity of social cohesion? Why do I express myself through others? Freger reminds us that so-called personal identity is inconceivable without the notion of belonging to a community; ethnic and sexual minorities understand this instinctively better than anyone else. An absolute "must-have" title for Charles Freger collectors. This title is a contemporary photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition Monograph available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER CHARLES FREGER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 2919923137.…
