Magnum Chronicles: GenZ
Launch Event and signing with Antoine d’Agata in Arles.

As a part of Les Rencontres d’Arles 2026 Les Rencontres d'Arles Magnum Photos Magnum Photos presents Magnum Chronicles: GenZ, the second edition of its annual publication dedicated to collective documentary storytelling, edited by Giulietta Palumbo Giulia Palumbo Global Head of Editorial at Magnum Photos.

Inspired by Generation X, the landmark collaborative project initiated by Robert Capa Robert Capa in 1951, Magnum Chronicles: GenZ brings together Magnum photographers across more than ten countries to create a global portrait of Generation Z through their voices, lived experiences, concerns, and aspirations.

This year’s edition features work by Chien-Chi Chang Chien-Chi Chang (Taiwan), Myriam Boulos Myriam Boulos ميريم بولس 🍉🍓unmasking fairy (Lebanon), Newsha Tavakolian Newsha Tavakolian (Iran), Cristina de Middel (Brazil), Emin Özmen Emin Özmen (Colombia, working with Venezuelan refugees), Zied Ben Romdhane Zied Ben Romdhane (Tunisia), Antoine d’Agata Antoine d'Agata (Georgia and the United States), Sakir Khader (Palestine and Syria), and Salih Basheer Salih Basheer (working with Sudanese refugees), Alec Soth Alec Soth (USA).

For his contribution to the publication, Antoine d’Agata worked with young people in Los Angeles and in Tbilisi, exploring a generation shaped by political uncertainty, emotional exhaustion, and a profound moral awareness. Rather than producing conventional documentary portraits, his work reflects on resistance, vulnerability, and the search for new forms of intimacy and collective presence. As throughout his practice, photography becomes not simply testimony, but a space where ethical commitment and lived experience converge.

Join Antoine d’Agata at the Galerie Magnum Photos Paris for an artist talk of his latest project: MÉTHODE.

In this three-volume special collector’s edition, d’Agata traces the history of violence through previously unpublished photographs, archival documents and a selection of works. Each volume is intended to be both a visual document and a political testimony, weaving a dialogue between the artist’s gaze and the weight of collective memory.

Conceived during Antoine d’Agata’s exhibition and five-month residency at the Centre Pompidou (September 2024 – February 2025), the MÉTHODE triptych challenges the official narratives of contemporary history and confronts us with our collective responsibility regarding the state of the world today.

The evening will open with a conversation between Marie Sumalla Photo Editor at Le Monde and Antoine d’Agata, moderated by Maria Stucchi .stucchii Head of Publications at Magnum Photos Paris, followed by a book signing.

For this event, a special collector’s edition of Méthode, exclusive to Magnum Publications, will be available. This limited edition is accompanied by a signed print by d’Agata and can be found at the Magnum Store.

The Square Print Sale, in partnership with The Photographers’ Gallery, celebrates Odyssey through a curated selection of time-limited prints by acclaimed photographers, tracing personal and collective journeys across landscapes, borders, and inner worlds.

From the book Mala Noche. San Salvador, El Salvador, 1993.

“The body as the object of touch — through a gesture that turned toward oneself or toward the other — and, in turn, as what allows itself to be touched. A timeless gesture, yet one that carries meanings that are never universal. The physical act and its metaphorical implications: excessive gestures, signs of madness, or omens and wonders. A polysemous gesture — rhetorical on one side, iconic on the other — emerging at the intersection of movements and inevitably answered by other gestures. For no gesture exists in isolation; the body in action always responds to the action of another. Gesture is active, creating movement and dialogue. The body, not thought of through a dichotomy with the soul, speaks through the many verbs of touch: grasping, pulling, dragging, pressing, striking, piercing, crushing, wounding. Warriors wound through weapons; vision itself, in archaic thought, projected towards objects, a fire emanating from the eyes. ‘Three times I rushed forward, and my heart urged me to take her, but three times she escaped from my arms and flew away, like a shadow or a dream’ (Odyssey, XI). Endless gesture, in an infinite movement of desire, vertigo, waste — an awkward, nihilistic contraction of time.” — Antoine d’Agata

Méthode (Atelier du Monde) by Antoine d’Agata
Artist residency at the Centre Georges Pompidou.

The artist opened his working process to the public, transforming the Museum into an active space of editing, classification, and reflection. Day after day, visitors were able to witness how he organizes and reconfigures decades of visual production and an extensive archive of objects, books, documents, and digital images.

Held between September 2024 and February 2025, Méthode was conceived as an open residency structured in six chapters. Throughout this period, the exhibition space functioned as a constantly evolving workshop, where more than forty years of material were unfolded, edited, and reordered as a living history of the contemporary world.

From the initial construction of the structure to the final cataloguing, Méthode reveals the core of d’Agata’s practice: editing understood as a political gesture, classification as a form of archaeology of the present, and the archive as a living organism in motion. By sharing his process, the artist exposed not only outcomes, but also the rhythms, decisions, and tensions inherent to creation.

More than a retrospective, Méthode was a real-time experience—a continuous flow in which looking, ordering, and looking again become a way of being in the world. This residency-installation offers an intimate and deeply political lens on contemporary history, inviting us to understand the world through his experience and sensibility, and stands as one of the most radical and significant propositions in Antoine d’Agata’s artistic body of work.

Thank you all for your visits and exchanges.
