Maï Lucas - Hip Hop Diary of a Fly Girl 1986 - 1996 Paris
Maï LUCAS est une artiste photographe qui collabore avec la presse et la publicité. Depuis ses débuts en 1986, la recherche d'une dimension artistique dans son œuvre a toujours été présente, ce qui lui a permis d’exposer dans des galeries et des musées à travers le monde.
Maï LUCAS s’est construite avec l’émergence du mouvement Hip Hop en France. Un mouvement fait par les jeunes et pour les jeunes.
Actrice et témoins de cette nouvelle vague, elle a développé sa vision artistique dans ce bouillonnement multi-culturel inédit.
Les clichés qu’elle a fait de cette époque cristallisent la mémoire collective de ce mouvement dont les préceptes sont "PEACE-LOVE-UNITY-AND HAVING FUN". Franco-vietnamienne de la première génération, Maï LUCAS se reconnait immédiatement au sein de ce mouvement et se lie d’amitié avec les jeunes musiciens, graffeurs, danseurs de toutes origines sociales et géographiques, précurseurs de ce nouveau mouvement.
Paris devient un vivier social et culturel: le carrefour des banlieues où la rue est à l'honneur. Chacun cherche à briller par son attitude et son talent.
Artisane majeur de l'univers visuel du Hip Hop français, Les photographies de Maï LUCAS ont valeur de transmissions, elles sont la trace de son identité dans ce mouvement.
Entre introspection et témoignage le livre offre une plongée dans l’intimité et la genèse du Hip Hop français.
A travers 104 photos, Mai LUCAS rend hommage aux temples de ce mouvement que sont: Ticaret, le terrain vague de La Chapelle, le Globo, radio Nova.
On decouvre des portraits des jeunes rappeurs : MC Solaar, Booba, Joey Starr, Assassin, Stomy Bugsy, Doc Gyneco, Kery James, Alliance Ethnik, Oxmo Puccino...
des Dj: Cut Killer, Dee nasty, Fab. et des Graffeurs tel que Jonone, Bando, Mode2, Sign et Futura 2000.
Finalement Maï Lucas ne manque pas de représenter la féminité de ce mouvement avec des clichés de B-Love, K-reen, Sté Strausz, les Ladies Night, la chorégraphe Max Laure...
