Nouveau Palais is the name of a diner on the corner of Bernard Street and Parc Avenue in Montreal. Facing that sign, one cold day of 2019, I thought I just found the name of my not yet started éditions. In my idea, the new palace won’t look like the old one (l’Élysée for instance in France). Plead for the destroy of the old palaces and to build something else different and for all that was the image behind catching that restaurant name.
Regarding the photobooks, Nouveau Palais tries to push ways of doing politically pictures and not political pictures to paraphrase Jean-Luc Godard. Each publication is a well thought balance between photographs, book form and texts and a close collaboration between the photographer, the author, the graphic designer, which is Marie Pellaton for most titles, and me, the publisher.
Books are not an end for the publishing house. An online review, distribution, podcasts, and a constant correspondences with the growing circle of the éditions are few of the many ways to spread the ideas and build a happy publishing process with modest means.
