Since 2021, Artexte Editions has collaborated with the research group Formes actuelles de l’expérience photographique : épistémologies, pratiques, histoires (FAEP) on a series of books entitled Sites of Photographic Knowledge. FAEP brings together established and emerging researchers with a mandate to enrich photographic discourse, whether artistic, scientific, social or pedagogical, while redefining photographic studies – and its knowledge – as a constellation of experiences.

“The rules and regulations of photography –how to get the best results– have been nothing but taunts to photographic artists and inventors who have asked themselves the simplest question: what would happen if I did this, instead? Whether we cast our laboratories in scientific or social terms, whether we call them studios, classrooms, or studies, this rebellious question precipitates our imaginations.” – Martha Langford with Zoë Tousignant

Edited by Martha Langford and Zoë Tousignant, with contributions from Michel Campeau, Emily Doucet, Luce Lebart, Leisure, Zoë Tousigant, Romain Guedj and Martha Langford.
