Replaying Narrative
Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal 2007
Edited by Marie Fraser
Guest Curator for the 10th presentation
This 400-page book is the first major study of contemporary image-based explorations of narrative. In this publication scholars, curators and historians and theoreticians of photography, video and the new media turn their attention to narrative procedures that have become ever more prevalent since the early 1990s. Such themes as photographic staging, digital technologies, appropriations from film and the mass media are approached from the perspective of an unprecedented broadening of the narrative and temporal possibilities of the image. This study also documents and examines the work of more than 30 artists, several of whom initiated this reassessment of narrative forms. With essays by Olivier Asselin, Söke Dinkla, Marie Fraser, Nicole Gingras, Lori Pauli, and Jean-Christophe Royoux.

NOW. Images of Present Time
Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal 2003
Edited by Vincent Lavoie
Guest Curator for the 8th presentation
NOW. Images of Present Time is much more than a catalogue of exhibitions; rather, it is an autonomous and authoritative work which assembles ten or so contributors issuing from diverse professional and theoretical perspectives (psychoanalysis, media studies, philosophy, political sciences, etc.): Ariella Azoulay, Guy Bellavance, Anne Bénichou, Albert Boime, Malcolm Foley and J. John Lennon, Robert Graham, Edgar Roskis, John Taylor. Previously unpublished analyses and essays treating such matters as the rituals of the media, the monumentalization of press imagery, the artistic interpretation of the catastrophic, the manner in which the impact of an event will colour the reception of its depiction, the rejection of the event, compassion fatigue, the privileges of the spectator/witness, etc., figure prominently in this bilingual and richly illustrated publication. In 2004, NOW. Images of Present Time won the Grand Prix Award for books in the prestigious Grafika design contest.
