Tunisie: Cet heureux revirement de situation à l'avantage de cette merveilleuse révolution est fait non sans calculs

After twenty-five years at the heart of power Beji Caid Essebsi not hesitate to assert that "the political responsibilities that I assumed were more or less long parenthesis in my legal career." What conclusions in fact it? "At the end of my last term as MP in 1994 I had the feeling of not being able to change much in the political system. But I left the political scene without regret. And without nostalgia. I accept fully that everything I did, "he adds. History decided otherwise, the revolution has meant that this disciple of Bourguiba is position to change the political system of a dual dictatorship.

Beji Caid Essebsi just like his mentor is a pragmatist. His political approach has always been marked by good sense and justice. A lawyer by training, process for its legitimacy and legality. Share the strategy of confrontation with public opinion against that of "the essential and important." The key is to restore security, the important thing is to change the political system in place that draws its legitimacy of listening to the voice of the majority and seeks to establish the legality through a constituent assembly. A methodology Bourguiba taken literally: to the essential and most important legally and under cover of popular legitimacy.

In the chaos that marked the post Ben Ali and the RCD Fiasco Ghanouchi and government, I wonder why the West has tried to exclude the voice of wisdom and ignore the great politicians of this nation. It must be said that those who were in place during the reign of Ben Ali had no political competence, otherwise agents to execute the orders of a Mafia clan. After the failure of their maneuvers were intended to save the system failed that Ben Ali has left after he fled, the French Right and American diplomacy have resigned to the idea that Tunisian society is made ready to Avenue of true democracy and that their interests would be better guaranteed by the Tunisian state Democrat who will serve as pilot project policy in the Arab world.

The stakes are high for this happy turn of events to the advantage of this wonderful revolution is not without calculations. The events in Egypt and the uncertainty in Libya have made a file folder to classify Tunisian emergency. Americans, Italians and French need a reliable ally in order to kill the regime "crazy Tripoli" sit and another that will preserve their interests. Westerners know very well that in Tunisia the power is delivered into the hands of the street and that the government is made up of a government opposed to the people, they have examined their consciences and decided de se rallier au vrai détenteur du pouvoir.

Seiichi Furuya, Memoirs. 1984-1987













On October 7, 1985, the anniversary of the GDR, the wife of the Japanese photographer Seiichi Furuya was thrown from the window of his apartment in East Berlin. Since 1982, Christine Gössler began to show symptoms of schizophrenia. It took a few round trips in a psychiatric hospital Graz (where she had met and Furuya, 1978), Vienna (where she had begun to study drama, before abandoning them due to illness). Furuya, graduated from photography school in Tokyo since 1975 traveling between Vienna, Graz and East Berlin after a long post soixantehuitard trip aboard the Trans-Siberian Railway. One knows a little work today in the journal Camera Austria, where he must have been one of the first in Europe to show or Moryama Araki Daido, but when he met Christine in February 1978 Furuya was not living with his photos. He lived from odd jobs translations. Photograph was an attempt for him to see clearly, to translate the image by this silent Eastern bloc which appeared unbreakable: streets, of everyday perspectives and trams, collected with a gently ironic eye, stranger in a similar style of Gary Winogrand. Of course, a lot of his photos were portraits of this beautiful woman in the dark face and their little boy, Komiyo Klaus, born in 1981. Photos showing less than fronted the cities of Eastern Europe, as if no corner could never succeed in achieving this woman who gradually moved away from reality, he became foreign. The day before his suicide, Seiichi Furuya photographed the still, in a garden in autumn colors. His look at it that tries to hook the camera, but it obviously can not do it, the farewell is already endorsed. Suicide Christine bisects the book. The second half is completely haunted by his absence - they are the same buildings the same streets, the gardens themselves, the same sky, even the Communist bloc and yet still glaciation, but a piece missing, which upsets the architecture of the together. Silence does not replace it. Where is Christine? Splice by what she has escaped? At the exact
hyphenation of the book, as of April 7, 1985, found a contact sheet, you do not notice it right away, the photographs are too numerous, tiny, but one of them is seen a body pressed against the green grass, a patch of greenery amidst towers of concrete. We understand that this photo was taken from the window where the body even ejected. A photo does not enlarge Furuya, not expose. A picture that defies art, photography, life, understanding. We do not know what is happening in his head when he made this photo there at that time. We know, however, in which he has lived for empty, his art is barely concealing his pain under a false trivial - dozens of photos of a flat lifeless, dozens of photos of land and full of herbs that repel always a bit by erasing the traces, dozens of pictures of tanks, steps, all these festivals celebrating every 7 October 1 Republic meaningless, undecipherable condition promptly.

What Happened Freeones

Michael Wolf, Compression Tokyo, 2010


Michael Wolf is a German photographer I discovered another book, "The transparent city. He photographed huge glass towers around the world, sometimes zooming in on their occupants. I have often experienced alone, lost in a hotel on the 36th floor, watch who lived in the tower opposite and try to subdue its people. Voyeurism what! With
Tokyo Compression , Wolf explores something more confined, as it is a series of photos taken on the banks of the Tokyo subway stations, showing passenger cars in compressed rush hour, totally absorbed in their thoughts. Almost trapped like animals in a cattle car.
addition to their graphic qualities, aesthetic and poetic, it appears from these pictures something disturbing, a mixture of oppression, freedom, confinement, privacy and secretions (water vapor, perspiration and odors). A striking contrast between the promiscuity of the car packed and loneliness that emerges beings.
In fact, when it does nothing, even though we would be surrounded by dozens of people, we are in touch with our inner voices. One can not escape it.
There is something universal in there.
This book could have been photograph of the Swiss, the Mongols or the Egyptians: it is only when one thinks ... probably all more or less the same things.
