L'Inventaire infini

Both a filmmaker and a great collector of vernacular photographs since his adolescence, Sébastien Lifshitz offers us in this book a personal anthology gathering more than 300 images. An astonishing collection from all eras and all origins presented under different themes: identity, photographic games, color, movement, etc. This book tells fragments of stories where we find the questionings of artistic photography in this amateur approach. Each series is brilliantly illuminated by texts by the historian of photography, Isabelle Bonnet, who places these images in their historical and artistic context.
