ON THE OCCASION OF THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSGENDER VISIBILITY DAY : RELEASE OF THE 2ND EDITION OF THE EYES # 11 – TRANSGALACTIC,
DEDICATED TO TRANSGENDER ARTISTS

The success of this carte blanche entrusted to the artist researcher SMITH and to the performer Nadège Piton underlines the interest of readers for a major contemporary social subject still little documented and exposed.
How have queer and / or trans artists seized upon photography to represent their / trans-identity? This is the starting point of this issue.
Around historical and contemporary portfolios of artists and the founding books that inspired them, SMITH and Nadège Piton take us on an extraordinary trans-galactic journey.

Marie Richeux – France Culture, By Les temps qui courent
