les presses du réel
Les presses du réel is a Dijon publisher and distributor of contemporary art, founded by Xavier Douroux and Franck Gautherot of the Consortium art centre. Its own list runs across contemporary art, criticism and theory, philosophy, architecture and design, the avant-gardes, cinema, dance and literature, in collections such as Perceptions and the ArTeC series, and it also issues records, CDs and DVDs, limited editions and a number of journals. The house distributes many other independent publishers as well, so its catalogue reads as a map of artists' books and art-world writing in French and English. Photography is one thread among many, present in monographs, history and theory more than in a dedicated line.
