#7 CURATED BY ERIK KESSELS: TOO FUNNY FOR WORDS
These days, we're bathed in an endless stream of images. Everyone is a photographer, and any one of us can take a great picture. In the small world of pho-tobooks, artists often tend to take themselves a little too seriously, and humor is rare.
#6 CURATED BY CHRISTINE BARTHE: SUR/AMERICA
"On America, from America, about America...The south and its images, the south of its north, the south of which Alfredo Jaar declared in 1987 on a map of the USA "This is not America".

#4 CURATED BY ALINE PUJO: AUTEURS DE VUES

#3 CURATED BY JONAS CUÉNIN: IMAGES D'AMÉRIQUE
"America is my adopted home. It was in New York that I discovered photography, where it became my greatest passion, and where I met some extraordinary photographers.

#2 CURATED BY VALÉRIE BELIN : WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHERS

#1 CURATED BY PATRICK REMY
"I like to pick and choose! I like to wander around a few selected bookshops, which mark out my Parisian strolls. I sometimes go to book fairs, but the abundance of publications quickly turns me off. Of course, there are the documentation books for the work I do with fashion and beauty brands, and then there are the others, all the others! "
