Nato a Marsiglia, Antoine d’Agata lasciò la Francia nel 1983 e rimase oltreoceano per i successivi 10 anni. Trovandosi a New York nel 1990, cominciò ad interessarsi alla fotografia frequentando corsi all’ International Center of Photography, con insegnanti del calibro di Larry Clark e Nan Goldin, tra gli altri.
Durante la sua esperienza newyorchese, negli anni 1991-1992, D’Agata lavorò come stagista nel dipartimento editoriale di Magnum ma, nonostante le sue esperienze e la sua formazione statunitense, dopo il suo ritorno in Francia nel 1993, si prese una pausa di 4 anni dalla fotografia. I suoi primi libri di fotografia, De Mala Muerte e Mala Noche, furono pubblicati nel 1998, e l’anno successivo la Galerie Vu cominciò a distribuire il suo lavoro. Nel 2001 pubblicò Hometown e vinse il Niépce Prize per giovani fotografi. Continuò a pubblicare regolarmente: Vortex e Insomnia apparvero nel 2003, accompagnando la sua mostra 1001 Nuits, che inaugurò a Parigi in settembre; Stigma fu pubblicato nel 2004 e Manifeste nel 2005.
Nel 2004 d’Agata si unì a Magnum Photos e nello stesso anno, girò il suo primo cortometraggio, Le Ventre du Monde; questo esperimento lo condusse al suo lungometraggio Aka Ana, girato a Tokyo nel 2006.
Dal 2005 Antoine d’Agata non ha un luogo fisso di residenza e lavora in giro per il mondo.
Qua la sua pagina su Magnum e qui una recente intervista
Born in Marseilles, Antoine d’Agata left France in 1983 and remained overseas for the next ten years. Finding himself in New York in 1990, he pursued an interest in photography by taking courses at the International Center of Photography, where his teachers included Larry Clark and Nan Goldin.
During his time in New York , in 1991-92, d’Agata worked as an intern in the editorial department of Magnum, but despite his experiences and training in the US, after his return to France in 1993 he took a four-year break from photography. His first books of photographs, De Mala Muerte and Mala Noche, were published in 1998, and the following year Galerie Vu began distributing his work. In 2001 he published Hometown, and won the Niépce Prize for young photographers. He continued to publish regularly: Vortex and Insomnia appeared in 2003, accompanying his exhibition 1001 Nuits, which opened in Paris in September; Stigma was published in 2004, and Manifeste in 2005.
In 2004 d’Agata joined Magnum Photos and in the same year, shot his first short film, Le Ventre du Monde (The World’s Belly); this experiment led to his long feature film Aka Ana, shot in 2006 in Tokyo.
Since 2005 Antoine d’Agata has had no settled place of residence but has worked around the world.

A demonstrator is arrested by St. Louis police on West Florissant Avenue in Ferguson, Missouri while protesting the killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old African-American teenager who was shot and killed on August 9, 2014 by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, in Ferguson, Missouri – a predominantly black suburb of St. Louis whose police force is 94 percent white. Brown’s death and a heavily militarized police response to protests sparked months of demonstrations throughout the St. Louis area. Tuesday, August 19, 2014.

Chien-Chi Chang (張乾琦) (nato nel1961, Taichung, Taiwan) è un fotografo membro di Magnum Photos.
Chang ha ottenuto un Master of Science all’Università dell’Indiana. Bloomington e un Bachelor fo Arts alla Soochow University, Taipei.
He joined Magnum Photos in 1995 and was elected as a full member in 2001.
Vive traTaichung, Taiwan and Graz, Austria.
Chang si focalizza sui concetti astratti di alienazione e connessione. “The Chain,” una serie di ritratti scattati in un ospedale psichiatrico a Taiwan, è stato in mostra a La Biennale di Venezia (2001) e alla Bienal de São Paulo (2002).
Le fotografie quasi a grandezza naturale di pazienti incatenati insieme, ricordando, attraverso lo sguardo di Chang, i meno visibili legami del matrimonio. Egli ha trattato i legami matrimoniali in due libri – I do I do I do (2001), una serie di immagini che rappresentano coppie di sposi alienate a Taiwan e in Double Happiness (2005), la rappresentazione del business di commercio delle sposse a Taiwan. I legami famigliari e culturali sono anche i temi di un progetto iniziato nel 1192. Per 21 anni Chang ha fotografato e ripreso in video la vita biforcata degli immigrati cinesi nelle Chinatown di New York, insieme a quelle delle loro mogli e famiglie a casa loro a Fujian. Ancora in progress, il progetto è stato esibito al National Museum of Singapore nel 2008, e alla Biennale di Venezia (2011), oltre all’International Center of Photography, New York (2012).
La ricerca di Chang sui legami che legano una persona all’altra, rimandano alla sua esperienza personali di immigrato diviso negli USA.
Qui un interessante articolo apparso sul Time riguardante il particolare approccio di Chang con i provini a contatto,
Chien-Chi Chang (張乾琦) (born 1961, Taichung, Taiwan) is a photographer and member of Magnum Photos. Chang received an M.S. from Indiana University, Bloomington and a B. A. from Soochow University, Taipei. He joined Magnum Photos in 1995 and was elected as a full member in 2001. He lives in Taichung, Taiwan and Graz, Austria.
Chang focuses on the abstract concepts of alienation and connection. “The Chain,” a collection of portraits made in a mental asylum in Taiwan, was shown at La Biennale di Venezia (2001) and the Bienal de São Paulo (2002). The nearly life-sized photographs of pairs of patients chained together resonate with Chang’s look at the less visible bonds of marriage. He has treated marital ties in two books—I do I do I do (2001), a collection of images depicting alienated grooms and brides in Taiwan, and in Double Happiness (2005), a depiction of the business of selling brides in Vietnam. The ties of family and of culture are also the themes of a project begun in 1992. For 21 years, Chang has photographed and videoed the bifurcated lives of Chinese immigrants in New York’s Chinatown, along with those of their wives and families back home in Fujian. Still a work in progress, “China Town” was hung at the National Museum of Singapore in 2008 as part of a mid-career survey and at Venice Biennale (2011) as well as at International Center of Photography, New York (2012). Chang’s investigation of the ties that bind one person to another draws on his own divided immigrant experience in the United States.

Republic of Chechnya, Russia, 03/2013. A girl praying in the only official female madrasa in Chechnya and in Russia. This is one of the oldest madrasas, where girls and women can study Muslim religion. It has been operational for the past 13 years, and in the past, before Ramzan Kadyrov’s full approval, the school was burned down by Russian Federal Authorities. Thanks to Aiman Kadyrova, President of the Regional Public Foundation named after Akhmat-Khadji Kadyrov, the madrasa now has its own building, equipped with everything that is necessary for training. A resident of the village declares: “I remember the time when President Djokhar Dudaev claimed that our girls needed not schools, but madrasas, and that statement caused a wave of indignation in the Republic. Djokhar Dudaev was criticized everywhere and by everyone. People said that he did not want our children to get good education, that the rights of women were being violated, and so on. Today, for some reason, no one protests against women’s madrasas, against mandatory wearing of headscarves for young women, or against the introduction of some elements of Sharia law. On the contrary, all people thank the government, and personally Ramzan Kadyrov for that. That is, the outlook on life has so dramatically changed in the past twenty years in our Republic”.

Much of the money spent by the Russian federal government to rebuild Chechnya has been wasted. The economic situation has improved considerably since 2000, yet the majority of people complain with the high rate of unemployment which in 2012 reached 40%. Argun.
