Een ongemakkelijke plek
In april 2021 reisden auteur Jonathan Littell en fotograaf Antoine d’Agata naar Kyiv om onderzoek te doen voor een nieuw boek in opdracht van het Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Centre. Babi Jar was de plek waar in 1941 meer dan 33.000 Joden door de nazi’s werden vermoord. Maar voordat het boek voltooid kon worden, begon op 24 februari 2022 de Russische invasie van Oekraïne. Het werd onmogelijk om alleen over Babi Jar te schrijven. De bezoeken aan Oekraïne om overlevenden, soldaten en vrienden te interviewen resulteerden in een grimmig bewijs van opeengestapelde verschrikkingen, de echo’s van de geschiedenis en een falend collectief geheugen.

Un luogo scomodo
Nel 2021 Jonathan Littell e Antoine d'Agata iniziano a lavorare insieme a un libro su Babyn Yar, il luogo alla periferia di Kyiv in cui avvenne il massacro nazista del 1941. Poi il 24 febbraio 2022 la Russia invade l'Ucraina. Gli orrori di un'epoca lontana riecheggiano assordanti: lo scrittore e il fotografo ricominciano allora da un'altra prospettiva, testimoni diretti delle atrocità di una nuova guerra. Tra le cicatrici di un passato sepolto e le ferite laceranti del presente, "Un luogo scomodo" è il racconto per parole e immagini di un viaggio attraverso un'Ucraina piena di dolore, che aspira solo a una qualche forma di pace e normalità. Un luogo, che cos'è? Un luogo in cui sono successe cose, cose orribili? Un luogo concreto, di cui si sono cancellate e si continuano a cancellare le tracce, ma che rimane carico di memoria, una memoria sotterrata come lo sono stati i corpi, ripiegata sotto la terra spianata? L'Ucraina, da tanto tempo, è piena di questi 'luoghi scomodi' che mettono a disagio tutti: crimini dello stalinismo, crimini nazisti, crimini dei nazionalisti, crimini russi; i massacri si susseguono su questo territorio ferito, che aspira solo a una qualche forma di pace e di normalità. Prima dell'invasione russa dell'Ucraina, Antoine d'Agata ed io avevamo cominciato a girare in lungo e in largo per Babyn Yar, il luogo in cui nel 1941 avvenne il massacro degli ebrei di Kyiv e poi di decine di migliaia di altre vittime. La guerra ha interrotto il nostro lavoro. Lo abbiamo ripreso poco dopo in un'altra forma e in un altro luogo, a Buca, la cittadina alla periferia di Kyiv divenuta tristemente famosa per le atrocità lì perpetrate dalle truppe di occupazione russe. Di nuovo un luogo dove sono successe cose; di nuovo un luogo di cui si cancellano subito le tracce. Circolare, circolare. Allora come scrivere, come fotografare quando non c'è letteralmente niente da vedere, o quasi? (J. L.)

Désir du monde
Avec passion, avec rage, quelquefois avec crudité, Antoine D'Agata refait son parcours d'homme et de photographe, d'homme-photographe. Il raconte les combats qu'il mène avec (contre) lui-même et avec (contre) le monde pour parvenir à exister dans l'intégrité de ses choix et de son désir. Avec Antoine D'Agata, la photographie ne se sépare pas d'une forme de présence-absence au monde : elle " fait corps " avec une quête de vivre jamais achevée. Ce livre s'adresse à tout public s'intéressant à la photographie et aux photographes, et par-delà, aux rapports que l'artiste (ou l'auteur) entretient avec son œuvre.

Fleurs du Mal
For Charles Baudelaire, the photographic medium is not an art but a technical means of representing reality. As a counterpoint to Baudelaire, Antoine d’Agata reworks his own photographs through digital intervention to return to engraving, as if to go from the pixel to the line of the time. He pushes photography to its limits, discarding the medium to return to the raw. Baudelaire’s texts thus enter into dialogue with photographs that have become engravings through wear and tear and manipulation, where the bodies blend together to give way to the poetry of the body. The work is based on the original uncensored edition of Baudelaire’s collection accompanied by these engraved prints by d’Agata. Present and past are superimposed. Like a game of transparency that will present the frame of an image on the cover. In this work Fleurs du Mal, Baudelaire is a stroller, a spectator of the world around him, of urban transformations, while d’Agata embodies photography, life and reappropriates the space of the city by the gesture. Two personalities meet on the occasion of the 200 years of the birth of Charles Baudelaire. Two artists who could have meet each other, debated, confronted each other. For d’Agata, Baudelaire leaves a legacy that must be pushed to extend its own reflection. The artist intervenes on the edge of Baudelaire’s poems with personal reflections and quotations from his favorite thinkers, descendants of Baudelaire’s thought: Walter Benjamin, Guy Debord or Georges Bataille. Affixed vertically to the poems, these handwritten interventions assert themselves while leaving the original text its own space. A second sense of reading is thus offered to the reader between Baudelaire’s text and the interpretation given by d’Agata through the words as much as through the engravings.

Antoine d'Agata: Codex-Mexico 1986-2016
Over the past 30 years, French photographer Antoine d’Agata (born 1961) has undertaken various journeys in Mexico. As a photographer, d’Agata tends to focus on societal taboos like addiction and prostitution, and embroil himself directly in these darker parts of human nature. “It’s not how photographers look at the world that is important,” d’Agata has remarked. “It’s their intimate relationship with it.” This book is a record of the photographer’s Mexican travels, a tense, immobile diary of his experiences in the devastated landscapes of an increasingly volatile criminal society. Still images, cinematographic narratives and texts make up a personal diary that, through intimate, sexual and narcotic encounters, constructs an increasingly sickening reality. Mirroring his journey as he wanders through a lonely and marginal world, d’Agata’s photographic language seems to fracture and degenerate page by page. As a whole, Mexico presents a complex, difficult portrait of a period that has been constructed as a time of lawlessness and criminality in Mexican society. D’Agata structures the book around six photographic movements, relating directly to different times in the contemporary history of Mexico. These chapters suggest ruptures in the continuity of history, even as D’Agata creates a narrative of descent into pain and savagery.
