here we will first discover
the workshop de jacques of the times
seven neighborhood flon a neighborhood
transformed into a district of
commercial nightclub shops
of restaurants but in this neighborhood there
there are also some artists last
Mohicans who are there in the workshop
especially the workshop of jacques concrete
then the concrete telly sa
peculiarity is that it’s a real
photographers workshop with really
all the panoply since he survived
in the ag that at the beginning it was a workshop
in argentic then this coming of the
digital but here we really find
what to make reproductions of what
store what to turn treat
the image and that’s what is beautiful
it’s to see that there are still some
workshops like that we can do some
shooting one can do all the
necessary and it’s absolutely
beautiful to be welcomed in the
jacques studio b as we
find out here that’s it then jacques on
discover in workshop behind the workshop
there is art there is the artist and the idea of
to photograph all his life as it is
your case is what you can you can us
say what motive she’s paying attention
behind this commitment of photographers
which has always interested me in the
photo 7.7 and the art of trying to find
the inner quality of someone that
this is through reports to
through portraits
and then it’s translating his image
we are going to look at images and I am
come in this workshop there are some
weeks
and as always there are pictures on
the tables and there were series
you do not have but you do not know this
series is killing me if I did that and then
I said but never since time
but now you have to show all that
you have to share it so he does it and
you do it but discover them and
let’s try to understand how you got
managed to realize them then all of
after
the first is this george
brassens
it’s in the 60’s 13
at that time I had to make a
series of portraits of artists who
was going to a big theater in
lausanne and george brassens was
interviewed I simply do not try
to find something that is not who
is an unusual position of the
who does not show up in his
image of actors if we want so I
makes them sit on a chair and then
while he was talking with the interviewer
I’m trying to capture a moment where there is
Something
finally it seems to me something that
appears from george brassens we see
not usually does it simply
as a human being so thank you there
it’s an artist a spirit and what made me
struck is that it is not only 1 and
that they were all that amazing and
chew gold as we say then
here is the second
there we are dealing with leo rail but
before the photo what is interesting
it is the artist I liked very much léo
railroad when he passed to Lausanne
I was trying to meet him what is
the first thing is meeting
to try to have a relationship with the
with the person photographed him
appears the photo am at the same time
she finally comes to account
so that’s the rule in his lodge and then
we discuss then here I know that
again captured a moment that is
not a moment ask there you told me
that you went on a trip with him then
that’s it no I followed several
concerts during his tour in
Switzerland and beyond and has accepted
possible the first company to be done
forget to be very discreet in
principle the artists do not like to feel
the presence of someone from a
photographer she has to watch no
I’m here I’m here to
to be with him for
yeah good talk with him and the photo of
new Thursday comes after this a
it is a result of this attitude
respect for someone
be an artist or anyone then
the following are worth raging at
ada saint jo dassin yoke of a saint
singer I passed all of you if all the
world knows it everybody thinks about
him when he goes to Paris I have the
luck there were other photographers there
wanted nobody else to have between
in his dressing room
that’s after his concert in his
lodges since he is weak he is relaxed he
cigar lighter and suddenly and to
the lighting the lamp of a kind of
bedside lamps so never we
knows clear hfr ambient lust and
suddenly there is this attitude
passed a picture then it’s all but
it’s the right moment and a look at
all that is interesting worry the
look what will come off of
the person is what there is a moment of
transformation that takes place and not
only a kind of masks
outside that is the wad for
represent an image the purchase would
rather for
what is evident from him more +
internally
so then we discover that
Serbian replied that at the time
so it’s a jazz musician that
many know this new in
the 70s and directs the jazz
messengers
I loved jazz messengers and
I learn that they pass to Lausanne
so of course
I have a great desire to
to photograph alas the time on
scene he was illuminating the artists
now I find that the lights
of artists are very bad because
to illuminate a backdrop
decor but the more the artist is
there could even approach
get close to the drummer while
now it’s impossible
we must stay in confined areas
while here I can get close
gently then grab a moment
these are the sounds of this jazz musician
adloff who does not even need it anymore
to give the name ben so there’s
again it is on the occasion of a
varnishing of choice of balthus paintings
the balthus lepad that you need
know and we’ll see after he
had he been friend with empty
bowie so that’s during a
vernissage and was a moment where he is
more removed from the crowd
I could enter but say
ask permission nothing at all and
as I was a little invisible
here I was able to do portrait that
I like david bowie so that
it’s more recent this year
felli scratch perry which is a bit the
reggae pope that a little who created
two of the new sounds in jamaica
who inspired bob marley that sucking bob
marley who made him change a little bit of
sounds but there it was it was
wanted them to pay
a pay of ransoms to shortly
with the local mafia so this is it
refused he refused any allegiance
at this trade there and he had to fires
are his production house go for
crazy for several years and then get
save from jamaica
otherwise he was risking death so there this
year
he now lives in zurich and does
tours all over the world this
past year near lausanne and
hall covers this festival
I was able to catch him in his dressing room a
moment of relaxation and it’s a small
guy who is very friendly who
is all the time
smiling for a moment as a result
and that there is joey starr during this
same festival
in valais he is surrounded joey starr
so it’s harder to
photograph
because it is a fondue at intermission
where at the end of center his turn of
singing here of these t-shirt and a crowd
who is compact around him so he
must sneak and then she this moment
I found where the moment he is
with a child and look at it is
ok he gets his picture taken
it takes a selphy with him then I
thought it was good
representative of
of the actor and singer then there we
saw international stars
and then in this local sensibility
we see that they come to Switzerland so
it’s international artists
but we also have Swiss artists
incredible taken in times of which
magical moments
so here it’s just business balthus
to balthus balthus for a long time he
refuse any picture he is very
attractive no pictures then towards the
end of his life there he must see 93 in
joy they call me to photograph
his last painting because I believe
that paris match he had sent a
photo by telex and then has it
found by good that there I say but
that’s it comes from the bad
quality of the fax pin in time it takes
come to photograph I arrive lahoud
his studio which was a very
closed virtually no one entered and
the forgotten jav but flash it is dark
the workshop feels very well that a small
gold rossinière window while my
help him who knows what is it all
near castle so it’s a good
side of rossi hyeres during a
code my assistants will look if they
find a photographer who will lend
who will lend in flash if it’s
possible i’m with him i tell him eh
well you agree while we
wait I’ll take your picture on
velib if you want she has for a
pub it does not have the time it was movie if
that during a sweet break I was able to
pass internally taking pictures
but one way is sitting on his
armchair
from where he they always controlled
the advancement of his painting because they
it almost and there he saw
his wife is an assistant
who put the colors and then who
made him check it check
the advancement of his painting so here
that’s also a moment to bullets
know a little different since we see it
usually
so we saw a Swiss artist
and then we send some more more
briefly to have a touch
it’s a base or the staging of
theater
yes it’s bothering peter brook
peter brook and there was 1 2 there is
with a young Indian actress and he
is getting close to him
give the last indications I
believe it was before the storm the
piece of shakespeare and always what
interested in throwing the person who
is focused who is caring and
which gives some indications with
a lot of finesse
so this is a photo I like
that’s what I’m looking for
is it possible during a
moment that is a just transformation
for for this focus
how is this possible then after bah
yes I will tell you why traveling
at mount athos in turkey saïd rab
relationship with his affero lan at the patro
mono jean decorator soon
twenty years he died
that’s a
he was the decorator of the festival of
winemakers from 64 it’s a party that has
place every 25 years where there really is
thousands of extras and gold oil
he had done the creative part
that was one of the big
decorators who worked a lot
in geneva at the pocket theater at the
comedy he is there he is hollow who
so in private he is in his studio
relaxed is someone who was
able with his hands to do all
kinds chosen you take a paper that
it was a little bit and he was doing here
a princess dress with pieces
of paper it was an extraordinary
decorator which brings us to hugo
pratt from the father of corto maltese is
death to grandvaux and him chew
hudak how did you catch her at the
after two loans asking it’s near
of madam and workshops there was a
comics bookstore and that’s
one of the first one of the first
bookstores that was even he was doing
come the designers for
to dedicate the books for a meeting
with the public
so I kept this picture of him
there I have nothing special
so we saw stars and the idea
it is to discover in the
a few minutes that remain a
sensitivity that applies beyond
stars that applies to anyone
difficult to access to anyone
that it’s about other it’s about keeping
authenticity finally so there has been
trips around the world and we
could not of course show all the
since it is to help
decades of archived incredible at
Beyond the single portrait is a whole
series there are dummies architecture ya there
is mentoring nature is beautiful
but we saw
stunning images but have other
always this red thread of respect for
intimacy and nature so that
it’s gypsies it’s the last
finally the last one is in avignon
France there was a gypsy neighborhood that
to them that has been demolished since
a long time and there this as part of a
radio interview that there were some
gypsies people like that who
was very suspicious
it’s a moment to the Basques always a
moment a photo it was the one
this is the magic of the photo is at
to say it is to be to be there without
know of preconceived ideas
I do not know what I want to do but I
look before and then the picture is going on
he was late enough to prague in 68
a student demonstration after
the entry of the ten russian in prague
I had a picture left because not
during this event
I was embarked in a truck of the
police
they took my previous film
so I had two pictures left and
the other members you have near the
Prague Castle
look then this woman is 7
inch is again it’s a moment
who is who seemed interesting
who know why it happened in
out of me then there we see the mount
athos accessible by boat and we have
succeeded it was not easy
to access the monks of Mount Athos
was not used to
photographers not or dead wrong it’s
the cell sacred places of orthodoxy
global which of which reaches 7 in this
peninsula there are twenty monasteries
main ones that each represent a
from countries to Russian monastery to
Bulgarian monastery tires me the Romanians
etc who advances who had fallen a little
there were Russian monasteries by
example with two thousand monks to a
given moment and when I passed there
remained more than 10
since its recovery then you are what
what they do there for us why
mount athos because always this
question how is this possible
to arrive at a moment a
transformation so I knew that you me
also near country the monks practice the
prayer of the heart that is to say that
through all kinds of activity in
gardener doing the building
a building he keeps repeating
internally a word to try
to stop the mechanical thinking that
turned his head
so that’s what it can be
translate this kind of speech
repetitive that allows to have a
much more inward approach
can we translate it here
I have a morale in the sense that it is
concentrate it will leave boats that
connect one monastery to another and he
is concentrated the image that I like
well because it reflects is what
I look for
she is going to finish now on
images without comment but who have
that same intention and I believe you
so good to express this respect
this depth that we can afford this
luxury to look at some images without
words knowing that they are in turkey
at davies toner then in afghanistan
with the Buddha that was destroyed and
families leave have hosted in
a wedding in the middle of the night we will not
comment we’re just going to discover them
will be able to dream with you imagined 7
the iccat s to capture the real moment
authentic
if concrete jacques
[Applause]
