On the shores of the Ourcq Canal in one of Paris’ trendy neighbourhoods, a group of award-winning photographers have got together to launch an innovative online magazine.
MeMo – which stands for Memory in Motion – is the brainchild of Spanish photographers Manu Brabo, Guillem Valle, José Colón, Diego Ibarra Sánchez, and Italian photographer Fabio Bucciarelli.
Valle is currently developing a long-term project about stateless nations around the world. He says the idea is to create a new space for photojournalism: “For us, Me-mo is a way of moving forward, of trying out a new formula. We don’t claim to have created the best model of photojournalism. Rather, it’s a bet, we are saying, well, let’s try to open up a new path. And we’ll see where it will take us.”
Fabio Bucciarelli has spent the last few years working on major events in places like Libya, Syria, South Sudan and Mali. He talks about the risks of working as a war photographer: “Documenting conflict has always been dange
