Diving into the 1980s means rediscovering a decade of transformation through historic photographs and images from the Agence France-Presse archives, captured live by its photographers.
The photographic archives of Agence France-Presse are among the most valuable visual testimonies of our contemporary history. This book, published by Éditions Cercle d'Art, brings together a selection of photographs that marked the 1980s, from the Tiananmen Square protests to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, from the trial of Klaus Barbie, German war criminal, in Lyon, to the great figures of culture and sport, as well as the Heysel Stadium tragedy. Far more than a book of archives, Photos from the 1980s constructs a genuine photographic narrative in which each image illuminates its era through both documentary value and aesthetic power. On the occasion of the bicentenary of photography in 2026, this volume highlights the importance of photojournalism in transmitting our collective memory and understanding the present.
