Hardcover. The photographs in Cherry Trees were made in Japan in spring 2020. Spring is the time of 'hanami', the annual celebration of cherry blossom, a symbol of the transience and fragility of life. But in 2020, it also coincided with the very beginning of the Covid pandemic. Here, French photographer Alexandre Morvan documents the invisible threat of the virus to everyday life. As his work progressed, he began to see connections between the strangeness of the situation and the dystopian worlds of anime and Japanese TV series that he had watched as a youth. Anticipating major environmental and humanitarian crises, some of these turned out to be visionary. This book is a story about transmission - the transmission of a virus, but also about the transmission of lifeworlds from the fictions of the past to our current lived reality.

About this title

Synopsis

Fleur de cerisier, pand�mie et anime dystopique du 20e si�cle Les photographies de Cherry Trees ont �t� prises au Japon au printemps 2020. Le printemps est la p�riode de Hanami, la c�l�bration annuelle de la eur de cerisier, symbole de l’�ph�- m�re et de la fragilit� de la vie, mais en 2020, il a �galement co�ncid� avec le d�but de la pan- d�mie de Covid. Le photographe fran�ais Alexandre Morvan documente ici la menace invi- sible que le virus fait peser sur la vie quotidienne. Au fil de son travail, il a commenc� � �tablir des liens entre l’�tranget� de la situation et les mondes dystopiques des dessins anim�s et des s�ries t�l�vis�es japonaises qu’il avait regard�s dans sa jeunesse. Anticipant des crises environnementales et humanitaires majeures, certains de ces projets se sont r�v�l�s vision- naires. Ce livre est une histoire de transmission - la transmission d’un virus, mais aussi la trans- mission de mondes de vie depuis les fictions du pass� jusqu’� notre r�alit� v�cue aujourd’hui.
