Photography
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.
