Présentation

Ten years earlier, Les Boutographies were investing the Pavillon Populaire for the first time, after a happy childhood in the neighborhood that had given them their name. We were in May 2008. Then we remembered another month of May, that of '68, and this arrival at the Pavillon Populaire took on an air of intrusion into the well-guarded territories of the cultural institution. Novelistic and a little exalted sensation, but able to support us in this unreasonable bet: occupy the venue with our own programming, and carry out the festival downtown with a team that was then on one hand. Since then, several billion photographs had covered the planet, threatening to engulf us. But we were still there, with this kind of meticulous determination to choose the few images that we wanted to show against all odds. What could justify such stubbornness, apart from our concern to occupy our long winter evenings and continue to make photography a pretext for encounters, to debates, if not our wonder at the infinite capacity of our fellow creatures to bring forth images that until then existed only in our dreams, or in our own worries? The adventure was therefore going to continue, sown with new pitfalls and accompanied by new faces, new skills that joined the team year after year.
In the auditorium of the Fabre museum, Karim El Maktafi, a young Italian photographer of Moroccan origin spotted at FotoLeggendo, is that year the guest of the ritual meeting with the members of the association Il Dilettante, lover of Italian culture in Montpellier.
1998, 2018... years of footballing glory: Cédric Calandraud wins the Jury Prize with a series that evokes France in blue from summer 98, while that of 2018 hopes for a consecration, which will come in July... Les Boutographies, always one step ahead of history !
