CIEL VARIABLE 129 - From Continent to Continent

Summary

Entitled From Continent to Continent, the thematic dossier highlights the books of three artists — Mallory Lowe Mpoka, Fatine-Violette Sabiri and Ed Pien —whose photographic projects explore questions of identity through portraiture and self-portraiture, in an intimate journey across continents, cultures, and personal histories.

The issue also features essays on landmark exhibitions such as Science/Fiction at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (Paris) and Pounding the Pavement at the McCord Stewart Museum (Montreal), along with a reflection on the hybridization of photography and animation and its impact on the conventions of fiction.

An interview with Éric Desmarais (Sporobole) further enriches the issue, addressing challenges related to artificial intelligence in the arts, particularly regarding copyright and public funding.

Finally, the Actualité section offers a panorama of exhibitions presented in Quebec, Canada and internationally, along with reviews of three recent books on contemporary photography.
