Meyer
photographe
Membre de Tendance Floue depuis 1996, Meyer utilise la photographie comme outil de dialogue avec le monde des images. En cultivant la conviction que l’acte photographique n’est pas fait pour observer le monde, mais pour le construire. Privilégiant l’expérience au style, Meyer éprouve son regard sur un spectre large qui embrasse autant le reportage que des créations de photomontages élaborés. De la Palestine (prix spécial du jury Paris Match), au cinéma ambulant en Afrique (WorldPress), en passant par les mouvements altermondialistes, Nuit Debout ou bien la tauromachie, dans son œuvre le sujet s’impose.
JOUE-LA COMME SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE
Meyer / Denis Bourges / Rémy Fière
Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine has been a soccer-mad town for over a century. From the very young kicking a ball around in the courtyards of the housing projects to the legendary Bauer Stadium and the Union Sportive Multisections Audonienne, this book pays tribute to those whose hearts beat to the rhythm of soccer. Meyer and Denis Bourges, from the Tendance Floue collective, bring a resolutely fresh and sensitive authorial perspective to this rich book, exploring a wide spectrum of styles, from documentary photography to visual art photography. Archival images also punctuate the work.
Rémy Fière's writing is varied and multifaceted, mixing literary genres and found archives, portraits and interviews, and quotations with the sound of slogans: a whole world of naive and raw poetry surrounding the world of soccer.

Lunacy
Meyer / Erwan Perron
Photographer Meyer (from the Tendance Floue collective) presents a unique and personal story, that of Lunacy, an iconic rave party from the early days of the House and Techno movement in France. A rare testimony to this important counterculture movement, Lunacy is above all the story of a party and an encounter with the creativity and nonconformity of the underground world. Eight events took place between 1993 and 1995 in a warehouse in Genevilliers-port. The aim is not simply to look back on this era, but to question the scope and influence of counterculture in our contemporary societies, and its political radicalism.
A very personal text by Meyer opens the book, along with an introduction to House and Techno by Télérama journalist Erwan Perron.
