with photographs by Gérard Rancinan
A report on a hazardous, year-long journey around the world. In a sensitive relationship with his peers, Gérard Rancinan produces a series of portraits, while Caroline Gaudriault evokes fragments of conversations with their subjects. The photographer and the writer provide curious readers with a book describing their progress in the form of rare instants and meetings with the leading names in contemporary photography. Rather than establishing a hierarchy, Caroline Gaudriault talks to them about their approach to the art.
With, among others, Pierre&Gilles, David Lachapelle, James Nachtwey, Sebastiao Salgado, Malick Sidibé, Eikoh Hosoe.
