VERNISSAGE - "Books on Photobooks" by Anatole Desachy, Jean-Marie Donat and Daniel Blaize
For many years, the photobook remained in the shadow of photography, but today it has conquered its autonomy and become an essential component of photography under its now-established name: Photobook.
Faced with the diversity and number of publications, from the invention of photography to the recent craze for the Photobook, the need for a compendium has arisen, giving rise to compilations with a universal vocation, such as the Parr & Badger trilogy, or to collections devoted to specific fields: geographical areas, photographers, themes...
It's with great pleasure that L'INAPERÇU, whose DNA is Photobooks, brings you a selection of some fifty of these compilations, the Books on Photobooks, often rare because they are highly sought-after by collectors.
To coincide with this carte blanche at L'INAPERÇU, Editions Innocences and Les Yeux Ouverts are co-publishing The Book of Books on Photobooks, a compilation of books on photography published around the world, featuring over a hundred references.
POULPE - book signing by Jean-Pierre Montanay and special dinner
This book is more than just a collection of recipes.
It's the story of a passion, of love at first sight for octopus.
In this book, delve into ancient legends and literature to understand why the octopus has, in the past, so frightened and fascinated sailors, adventurers and fishermen the world over; and discover how this cephalopod is cooked around the world: from Japanese-style octopus cooked in sake and tea to Bahia octopus moqueca, not forgetting octopus in wine, dumplings...
Followed by a special octopus dinner - Three octopus appetizers - One octopus entrée - One octopus main course - One dessert - Mignardises
