La liberté d’expression semble être souvent un concept à deux vitesses, surtout quand cette liberté vient ternir des intérêts économiques comme celui généré par le tourisme de masse. Gianni Berengo Gardin, un grand photographe italien, vient visiblement d’en faire les frais… Censuré dans son pays, il voulait dénoncer le tourisme de masse à travers la photographie de paquebots géants qui étouffent Venise. Les bateaux de la désillusion Le tourisme de masse qui écrase la sérénissime Venise un peu plus chaque année ne cesse de nous questionner sur les impacts de cette industrie sur les grands sites touristiques.

L’un des symboles de cette marchandisation du rêve se trouve être ces énormes paquebots à touristes. Régulièrement, malgré une interdiction progressive instaurée en 2014, ces géants des mers viennent vomir plusieurs milliers de passagers à quelques mètres de la place Saint-Marc, au cœur de Venise.

Photographer Bence Bakonyi spent one year in China, where he tried to find his home in a world that felt strange and unfamiliar at the very beginning. Without being able to speak Chinese, it was difficult for him to talk with the locals. At the beginning of his journey he tried to avoid the metropolitan areas. Therefore, Bence Bakonyi wandered through the vastness of China’s landscapes.

Instead of taking pictures of people, he focused on their environment. A few images can be seen below but I recommend you to visit Bence Bakonyi’s website to explore the full series.

These amazing hand-colored photographs of old Japan give us a history lesson about what life was like in the late 1800's to early 1900's. As an isolationist country opening its doors to the outside world for the first time in more than 200 years, a truly astounding transformation took place and, as fate would have it, photography had just been invented.

According to flickr user Yves Tennevin, the photographs are presumed to be taken by Adolfo Farsari, an Italian photographer who was based in Yokohama, Japan. Following a brief military career, including service in the American Civil War, he became a successful entrepreneur and commercial photographer. Farsari's photographic work was highly regarded, particularly his hand-colored portraits and landscapes, which he sold mostly to foreign residents and visitors to the country. His studio, the last notable foreign-owned studio in Japan, was one of the country's largest and most prolific commercial photographic firms.
