Résumé

ELSE is completing its fourth year. Four years of telling visual stories, asserting the supremacy of images over text, four years encouraging indiscriminate dialogues between vernacular and artistic, contemporary and historical. Not out of a will to bring extremes together, but because the actors involved are blurring the lines, and swapping roles. Artists, collectors, historians, or curators all seem to be collecting images and composing sets, using others’ images to produce their own work. In this vast movement of reappropriation and displacement, artifacts of popular culture have turned into an amazing fertile ground for the manufacture of new representations. The great collectors bring back to life sleeping photographs that had drifted to the depths of the useless because they had done their time. Yesterday confined to their usage, they are rekindled. Tossed in cross-disciplinary effervescence, they watch or tell the world again. ELSE ceaselessly questioned images. The adventure is now coming to an end, at least in its initial form. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Editorial Committee whose pugnacious dedication and suggestions gave life to the magazine. Thank you to the many contributors and artists we have published.
