<p>Dear members of the list, <br>
</p>
<p>It is with great sadness and deep sense of loss that I announce
the death of Jean-François Bonhomme, a close friend, eminent
photographer, and devoted friend of Greece. Born in 1943,
Bonhomme was interested in the questions on time and space that
surround the practice of photography, and in the philosophical and
literary dimensions of cinema. He initially studied film at the
French Film Institute under Noël Burch, before pursuing his
studies in philosophy at the University of Paris VIII, mainly with
Deleuze<a href="http://monoskop.org/Gilles_Deleuze" title="Gilles
Deleuze"></a> and Lyotard, while participating in the seminars
of Roland Barthes <u></u>and Michel Foucault at the Collège de
France. Since 1982, he devoted himself mainly to photography. He
lived between Paris and Athens (or, better said, between Paris and
Markopoulo). In 1996 he collaborated with Jacques Derrida in the
volume <i><a rel="nofollow" class="external text"
href="http://monoskop.org/log/?p=8964">Athens, Still Remains:
The Photographs of Jean-François Bonhomme</a></i>. On Helen
Tartar's initiative the book was eventually trans. from the Greek
by Pascale-Anne Brault and Michael Naas, and was published by
Fordham University Press, New York, [1996], 2010.<br>
</p>
<p>In 2004 I had the good fortune to collaborate with Bonhomme in a
photographic project that was organized by the Municipality of
Markopoulo and the Benaki Museum under the title <i>East of
Attica. Photographs 1930-1970 </i>eventually published by the
Benaki Museum <i>(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.benaki.gr/index.asp?lang=gr&id=20205&sid=161">http://www.benaki.gr/index.asp?lang=gr&id=20205&sid=161</a>).

<p>We have lost a great talent and a great human being. <br>
