💬 « Photo Against the Machine est un ouvrage résolument moderne. Son autrice déconstruit les codes de l'interprétation traditionnelle de l'art. »
– Fisheye, Lou Tsatsas

🗞 « Les questions séquencées de Massal nous font pénétrer, traverser et contourner les idées reçues sur certain.es des plus grand.es photographes, jamais pour se moquer mais toujours pour pousser plus loin les modes normatifs de pensée et d'écriture d ela photographie. »
 – Fisheye, Lou Tsatsas

  📰 Photo Against the Machine emerges as a boundary-defying work that pushes the art world to rethink traditional interpretative practices, challenging notions of creativity, consciousness, and the art of seeing.”
– Foto Femme United, Xingyi He



“The only interesting answers are those that destroy the questions.”
– Susan Sontag 

 

🌎 Ann Massal, a creative thinker and photographer, decided to shoot questions at an artificial intelligence about 25 photographers from the world-class photographic collection at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP), Paris. Part philosophical essay, part art critique of one of the most emblematic photographic collections in the world, this photobook of our times sheds new light on the world of photography, demonstrating that pulling the right trigger is a work of art, no matter what medium we use.

 

🇫🇷 Ann Massal, penseuse, artiste et photographe, bombarde de ses questions une intelligence artificielle à propos de 25 photographes qu’elle a choisis dans la prestigieuse collection de la Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP) Paris. Autant essai philosophique que regard critique sur une collection photographique emblématique, ce livre-photo du XXIe siècle renvoie un point de vue unique sur le monde de la photographie, et démontre qu’en visant juste, on peut produire une œuvre d’art, quel que soit le médium utilisé.
