    Between auditions, model Gloria Barnes passes images of youthful beauty. Gloria, who became a model in her sixties, has appeared in such publications as Vogue, Glamour, and Marie Claire. In the past, older models were relegated to shoots for pharmaceuticals and retirement communities; today, they are used for fashion and glamour. (New York City, 1998)

    Eclats de guerre
    A la fois constat et témoignage, ce livre ne démontre pas, il montre. Et ce qu'il montre, c'est le drame humain de la dernière guerre du XXe siècle : des miettes, des bribes, des éclats d'humanité déchirée, meurtrie, qu'aucune revendication nationale ou religieuse ne peut justifier. Vukovar, Mostar, Sarajevo sont autant de noms devenus symboles de l'inacceptable.

    Alexandra Boulot a suivi le conflit yougoslave du tout premier assaut sur la Slovénie à l'entrée des troupes de l'OTAN au Kosovo. Avec un talent qui lui a valu l'admiration de ses pairs comme celle du grand public, elle n'accuse ni ne stigmatise, elle en appelle à nos consciences.

    « Il faut aller au bout de ses images, écrit Bernard-Henri Lévy dans sa préface. Parce qu'elles sont la vérité de cette guerre. Et parce que les regarder en face, c'est comme réouvrir le livre du crime. Nous le devons aux morts. Nous le devons aux survivants. »

    Photographe de réputation mondiale, Alexandra Boulot a été récompensée par de nombreux prix, dont l'Infinity du Centre international de la photographie de New York, le Visa d'or du Festival international de la photographie de Perpignan et le prix Paris-Match.

    Pastorale africaine
    D'addis-Abeda, il faut compter trois jours de 4x4. D'abord la route, puis les pistes, de plus en plus difficiles, les chemins défoncés, où l'on s'embourbe à la saison des pluies. Bientôt, les véhicules ne passent plus. On continue à pied; Ce périple entre 2002 et 2014, je l'ai accompli à trente-trois reprises, à la rencontre des tribus de la vallée de l'Omo, afin de rester dans leur territoire, chaque fois, trois ou quatre semaines. J'ai voulu recueillir les images de ces peuples mal connus qui perpétuent leurs traditions millénaires au plus près de la nature, protégés pendant quelques temps encore par le mauvais état des voies d'accès alors même que la construction de nouvelles pistes les rapproche de la civilisation. Au fil de mes voyages, je me suis enfoncé de plus en plus loin du fleuve, sur ses affluents reculés, au Sud de l'Ethiopie, à la découverte de l'ethnie des Suri, qu'on appelle aussi Surma, éleveurs semi-nomades . Mes cheveux blancs m'ont permis de m'adresser aux anciens de la tribu, qui m'ont écouté, jaugé, et ont admis ma présence.
    Mis en confiance, les Suri en sont venus à m'accepter comme un familier. Ainsi ai-je pu photographier au quotidien la vie des garçons du clan, gardiens du troupeau dès leur plus jeune âge. Au fil des ans, je les ai vus grandir au milieu des bovins. Ils se sont habitués à moi, ils m'ont fait un bon accueil.
    Mes photos, que j'ai montré sur l'écran de mon appareil numérique, n'intéressent pas le moins du monde les Suri, mais, pour les prendre, j'ai toujours dû payer et recueillir trois autorisations: celle du propriétaire du troupeau, celle de l'adulte responsable et celle de l'enfant lui même.

    Léninisme de marché / Vietnam
    Bien que des millions de Vietnamiens se soient battus sous le drapeau communiste pendant plusieurs décennies de guerre, y laissant souvent leur vie, le pays a vite abandonné les principes économiques marxistes et l’économie centrale planifiée. En 1986, onze ans après la victoire communiste, les réformes « Doi Moi » ont mis fin à la collectivisation et établi l’économie de marché dans le pays. Aujourd’hui, une grande partie de la piste Hô Chi Minh a été convertie en autoroute ; des villes hier lourdement bombardées par les forces américaines sont maintenant équipées de centres commerciaux et de fast-foods KFC. Même le Parti communiste a changé : les nouveaux membres des sections « jeunesse » n’adhèrent pas tant par motivation idéologique que pour faire du réseau.

    Throughout Iraqi Kurdistan, students are finally studying Kurdish history, which was forbidden under Iraqi rule. It is the only place in Kurdistan where classes are held in Kurdish. Without the money to print their own text books, students are forced to make do with what the Iraqis left behind, sometimes filling up notebooks and erasing them to be used. These students are in a classroom of a bombed out school in Penjwin, Iraq, near the border with Iran.

    Throughout Iraqi Kurdistan, students are finally studying Kurdish history, which was forbidden under Iraqi rule. It is the only place in Kurdistan where classes are held in Kurdish. Without the money to print their own text books, students are forced to make do with what the Iraqis left behind, sometimes filling up notebooks and erasing them to be used. These students are in a classroom of a bombed out school in Penjwin, Iraq, near the border with Iran.
