Trevor Paglen Livres
Trevor Paglen est un artiste et écrivain dont le travail brouille délibérément les lignes entre les sciences sociales, l'art contemporain et le journalisme. Grâce à des explorations méticuleusement recherchées, Paglen construit des manières inédites mais accessibles de voir et d'interpréter le monde qui nous entoure. Ses œuvres visuelles et ses publications explorent les systèmes de pouvoir cachés et les cultures visuelles qui façonnent notre compréhension de la réalité. Le travail de Paglen met au défi les spectateurs de considérer de manière critique comment nous voyons et interprétons le monde, révélant les aspects invisibles de la vie moderne.

The 70 military shoulder patches presented in this book reveal a secret world of military imagery and jargon, where classified projects are known by peculiar names and illustrated with occult symbols and ridiculous cartoons. The patches are precisely photographed, hinting at a world about which little is known

Invisible: Covert Operations and Classified Landscapes is Trevor Paglen's long-awaited first photographic monograph. Social scientist, artist, writer and provocateur, Paglen has been exploring the secret activities of the U.S. military and intelligence agencies--the "black world"--for the last eight years, publishing, speaking and making astonishing photographs. As an artist, Paglen is interested in the idea of photography as truth-telling, but his pictures often stop short of traditional ideas of documentation. In the series Limit Telephotography, for example, he employs high-end optical systems to photograph top-secret governmental sites; and in The Other Night Sky, he uses the data of amateur satellite watchers to track and photograph classified spacecraft in Earth's orbit. In other works Paglen transforms documents such as passports, flight data and aliases of CIA operatives into art objects. Rebecca Solnit contributes a searing essay that traces this history of clandestine military activity on the American landscape.
