A Madagascar. Photographies de Jacques Faublée, 1938-1941

Inauguration jeudi 29 avril 2010 à 18h
Musée d’ethnographie de Genève Carl-Vogt

Cette exposition présente des photographies de la première mission ethnographique de Jacques Faublée à Madagascar, de 1938 à 1941. Elle propose de découvrir une sélection d’images parmi les 12’600 négatifs noir/blanc du Fonds légué au MEG en
2008. Le public est invité à découvrir ce Fonds visuel aux qualités esthétiques confirmées où figurent les grands thèmes de recherche de cet ethnographe: nature, navigation, habitats, élevage, portraits, rites funéraires. L’exposition engage une réflexion sur les relations entre l’ethnographie et la photographie; elle questionne aussi le rôle de nos fonds photographiques pour la recherche scientifique et leur accessibilité à nos publics.

Base de données en ligne. 7213 images du Fonds Faublée à découvrir:

Be Carefully, the council that Mr. John, my guide, every morning repeated to me. Careful, you are much careful one: where hills the feet, to where I placed the hands, to which seize grab hold of to you. In order not to fall, in order not to ruin in the mud, in order to arrive finally in top to these small it goes them, and to make that my search of the Dani population, it caught up
the hoped result: to find one, ten, hundreds Dani still immune from the progress, still free to dress themselves and to think their traditions second.
Be carefully, to every they small scar, every they curious look to every repeated and ritual?s gesture, of a vital rhythm, that it is in order to disappear.
This part of world, the West Papua, is still immune from the tourism bites and escapes, from the mass tourism; my search of the "particular", that we see but "we do not watch". A surveying lead with the solo 50mm, that it obligates to being ?within the photo?, within the scene, ?to skin? with the subject portrait. ?The normal? objective this time has created some embarrassment is for me, is for the photographed subject.
I tried the colourful faces and tattoo, have found bodies from the deformed anatomy, bodies modelled and adapted to the atmosphere and the nature, but not for this less beautiful.
I know within the next few years that, that I have seen will be replaced completely from short and infrafinger, t-shirt and hats; I know that how much ?I have stopped? could be the last outcry of aid of traditions and sideboards religious at this point desuetude and forgotten from young?
