Founded in 1991, Tendance floue (literally, a tendency to be out of focus) is a group of thirteen photographers who have created a collective with the aim of working together to open up new perspectives and diversify the ways that contemporary photography can represent the world. In addition to their personal work, these photographers nurture their collective photographic research by comparing images, assemblages and combinations, their pooled results giving rise to completely new material. Involved in the press, publishing, exhibitions, screenings, collection prints, and corporate and institutional marketing, this collective is open to everything, embracing all the different media of contemporary photography. New York is brought into focus by Tendance floue photographer Mat Jacob. In the early 1990s, Mat Jacob began his career in documentary photography, travelling the world to take pictures of schools. In the Chiapas region of Mexico, he captured both a people's resistance to injustice and their native Indian and peasant farming heritage. Since 2007, he has made a photographic journey through Finistère (Brittany) to explore the relationships between his current activities and his memory. He is also an artistic director and producer for web films.
