O quase-documentário: Entrevista entre Jeff Wall e Jean-François Chevrier
No full textJeff Wall, um dos grandes nomes atuais da fotografia, conversou em 2001 com Jean-François Chevrier, que recebeu três de suas obras para a exposição Des territoires. Organizada no âmbito do seminário de mesmo título que o historiador francês ministrava na École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, a ocasião serviu de oportunidade para que os dois conversassem sobre um, ou alguns, termos com os quais o próprio Wall organiza seu corpo de trabalho. No caso, o título e questão principal é sobre um nome que carrega em si o exercício de pensar uma imprecisão: Citizen (1996), A Villager from Aricaköyü arriving in Mahmutbey-Istanbul, September, 1997 (1997) e Man with a Rifle (2000) quase são aquilo que parecem ser, registros documentais.

Jeff Wall
No full textDans cet article, Dot Tuer interroge la production, la réception et le contexte dans le travail photographique de Jeff Wall. Elle avance que la confusion entre les codes de la peinture et de la photographie, du documentaire et de la mise en scène produit des images séduisantes et déconcertantes dans lesquelles la forme et le contenu s’opposent. Elle y traite des affinités et des différences que le travail de Wall entretient avec celui de photographes postmodernes comme Sherri Levine ou Cindy Sherman, qu’a observé Douglas Crimp. Analysant les images noir et blanc de Jeff Wall, l’auteure suggère que, agissant comme index du documentaire américain classique, elles soulèvent des questions de véracité, d’histoire et d’image photographique
