Mea Silva Mea Silva explores the forest as a space for experience, reflection and encounter with living beings. The installation combines photography, video and sound design to create a journey in which the gaze moves forward, hesitates, delves deeper and loses its way – just like a walker who leaves the marked path to enter the depths of the world. The forest as both a trial and a revelation, as…
Seuil SEUIL is a black-and-white series spanning 13 years. For this project, I have removed the locations, dates and captions in order to keep the images timeless and detached from their immediate context, without evoking any specific reference or personal memory, and to leave each stage in a deliberately suspended state of time. The series unfolds like a silent film, in two parts: what things convey, and then what people…
The Steppe Player Thierry lived by night, alone with his cat. He would eat a plate of pasta in the evening and another in the morning, engaging in no activities other than gaming and a spiritual quest. Self-taught, he became the French chess champion before turning away from the game to devote himself to meditation and the study of esotericism—primarily the writings of Rudolf Steiner. Aside from archives discovered on-site,…

Those looking for the infinite or transcendence are unlikely to find it during bus journeys or football matches, at the Pier Head ferry terminal of the Mersey River, or in the shipyard changing rooms. As for those looking for a deterministic logic, a sociological and political statement about England, they will find here and there visual information about a specific period and place. Tom Wood enables us to escape the…

She likes challenges and has a fair look at things. Passionate about theater and cinema since her childhood, she has known over the…
Exploring how humans witness each other, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art (BCMA) presents an expansive selection of photographs in a new exhibition titled People Watching: Contemporary Photography since 1965. The show examines how people look at each other: as a recreational activity, an act of surveillance, a type of harassment, a sign of empathy, and a documentary form of expression. The idea for the exhibition came together in the…

I first met the photographer Bastiaan Woudt through gallerist Benjamin Jaeger, and was immediately drawn to his singular way of combining minimalism, portraiture, and mystery. With Bastiaan’s recent pilgrimage to Japan, and his first exhibition in Italy on the horizon, I wanted to look back at his story while catching up on both old and new work. I also had a chance to chat with his gallerist, Vincenzo Maccarone, co-founder…

It’s summer, as heralded by the The Eye of Photography column ritually opened to enthusiasts each season when the sun and sea bathing return – sometimes too much sun, as this year. Meanwhile, holed up in the cool in front of my computer, I took advantage of this break to relax, – and entertain you, by selecting among my nude photobooks those ostensibly made to amuse, to have fun, made…
A photographer based in Geneva, Jean-Marc Martin du Theil has self-published a book, printed by Printer Trento in Italy, that tells the story of a life—his own—in photographs. Drawing on these words by photographer Raymond Depardon (from Voyages, Éditions Hazan): “I would tell a young photographer that they must photograph everything, have the awareness and the courage to photograph their life. It can be difficult because one will be accused…

Archives - September 4, 2023 He is a legendary auctioneer of the world of photography. He organized some of the biggest auctions in the history of the still image. And yes, he is also a photographer! Philippe Garner is exhibited at the Hamiltons Gallery until October 4. I have two very fond memories of Garner. The first encounter was in the mid-1970s.

Sandrine Arons : What the image does not show For Sandrine Arons, the true subject of photography begins precisely where the visible ends. Her images do not document reality: they put it to the test. They question what we think we see, what we have forgotten to look at, and what an image sometimes reveals only in retrospect. For her, photography is less about capturing than exploring. A face, a…
The J. Paul Getty Museum presents “Every Minute Is History: Five Views of Los Angeles”.

The Print Center presents Ron Tarver: The Long Ride Home, Black Cowboys in America, an exhibition that reveals the depth, breadth, beauty and visual poetry of Black cowboys throughout America. Until recently, popular culture had not recognized the vital Black contribution to our national stories of “The American West.” The Long Ride Home offers a contemporary counter-narrative to the traditional whitewashed myths. Tarver’s insightful photographs of Black Western heritage affirm…
Once again this year, Arles was transformed into a vast city devoted to photography. For the 57th edition of the Rencontres d’Arles, I moved through the exhibitions with the sense that, more than the images themselves, it was our way of looking that was being put to the test. From the body to animals, from intimacy to work, from family to forgotten histories, the works I found seemed to raise…
