Here is an extract of her essay: This essay solves the enigma of Deborah Turbeville's work by going over her photographic prints with a fine tooth-comb and exposing the infinite layers that lie beneath. She is more than a photographer : her work continually breaks down the blurred boundaries between…

Photo Elysée recently paid tribute to Deborah Turbeville, an American photographer recognised in the 1970s for her fashion photographs. But Turbeville is much more than that; it is a work on photography and its materiality. In collaboration with the MUUS collection, Photo Elysée allows us to discover a true female artist. It's challenging to classify Deborah Turbeville's (1932-2013) work because her oeuvre is rich in research and diverse use of…

This essay examines the role that photo-based imagery played in the immediate aftermath of Liberation by means of The Nuremberg Trials.

Observing that the internet envelops our lives is such a commonplace that it’s boring to have it repeated. Yet for something so omnipresent, relatively little is generally known about its physical location. It is not immediately obvious what photographs of the internet in situ would look like or where they would be taken. Cyberspace is both notional and real: a metaphor for the sense of somewhere we go when browsing,…

Lucien Hervé (1910 – 2007) is widely recognised as the preeminent photographer of Modernist architecture. His pictures go beyond documenting these revolutionary buildings, to create a new visual language for expressing them. Hervé’s bold sense of composition and keen eye for detail have animated many of the 20th century’s most iconic buildings, as revealed through his astutely perceptive photography. Since their first exhibition of Hervé’s work in 1998, Michael Hoppen…
Black Sun is a project by Danish photographer Søren Solkær capturing one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena; the large murmurations of starlings. The countless birds puts on an incredible show of collaboration and performance skills twice a year when they migrate from one destination to the next. Growing up in Southern Denmark, where this breathtaking scenery unfolds, Søren always had a fascination for the starlings that naturally lead to the…
Mexican born photographer Manuel Moncayo’s work is a search for the quiet and the simple. He swapped the tropical weather and virgin beaches of Mexico for the cold and concrete buildings of Berlin where he now lives, and where he found the openness to nudity. He has a sharp eye for men, nature and colour. His images are very personal and many come from his own photo diaries. He photographs in empty spaces, mostly nature, where his pictures have no…

Every year in February, many birds gather on the island of Hokkaido in Japan, just across Siberia. At the beginning of the 20th century, they almost disappeared because there were only about 40 cranes left on the island. So a farmer had the idea to feed them corn for the cattle. This was the first rescue. Unfortunately today, there are only 2,750 birds, about half of which are in Japan.…

The Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow presents an exhibition by American artist Sandy Skoglund, a key representative of the genre of tableau photography — ‘staged’ or ‘constructed’ photography. Back in the early 1980s, long before the advent of Photoshop, Skoglund presented the world with images of extraordinary surreal installations that instantly brought her international renown. Sandy Skoglund was born in 1946 in North Weymouth, Massachusetts. The artist’s family often moved around,…
Alexander Strinadko is recognised as one of the most brilliant representatives of contemporary documentary photography. In his work we can detect the influence of the classic Russian photographer Alexander Slyusarev. But while Slyusarev was committed to metaphysics and pure forms bordering on abstraction, Strinadko’s interest lies in the subject matter and everyday life, on the basis of which he resolves complex compositional tasks. The images included in the exhibition ‘On…
As part of the ‘Photobiennale-2020’ the Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow presents an exhibition by French documentary photographer Pascal Maitre.

After leaving school Maitre studied psychology at university and was then drafted into…
In early 2020, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of FotoEvidence, I interviewed founder Svetlana Bachevanova. At the time, I asked her what the next 10 years might look like. “I am always working on crazy ideas and thinking of new collaborations,” she’d laughed. “Let’s see where we might go from here.” Less than 12 months later, the FotoEvidence Foundation made its official debut in January 2021 in France. The new…
Le Serpent Noir, an unprecedented project by Cécile Hartmann presented to the public at MABA in Nogent-sur-Marne until July 18, 2021, revolves around the metaphor of the black snake: the giant Keystone pipeline that transports more than 700,000 barrels of unclean tailings, from surface mining in Alberta to Indian reservations, contaminating lands and water supplies and causing unprecedented ecological damage. This pipeline, supported during the Trump era, saw construction of…
