The silence before the name I photograph ordinary objects to the point where they cease to be recognisable. Before they are named, things experience a moment of silence: they are no longer objects, but merely surfaces, volumes, light and shadow. This series explores that moment when the gaze hesitates. Deprived of its points of reference, the eye searches, imagines and formulates hypotheses, oscillating between abstraction and figuration. Gradually, clues emerge.…

Something of Venice Fragile, ancestral, unique, today Venice risks to lose its soul and the memory of its diversity, crushed in the mono-cultural mill of standardised entertainment. 1000 residents leave Venice every year and Venetians have begun to live in the memory of their own city. As Salvatore Settis reminds us in his essay ”If Venice dies”, the city risks becoming an empty shell, “a sort of artificial paradise for…

The Horizon of Metamorphoses: Oetopos Having explored the impermanence of space, I continue my investigation into emptiness and the threshold through a new series, Oetopos, in which the landscape becomes the site of a slow reclamation. My intention is no longer to document reality, but to reconstruct it. Oetopos is a place that does not exist: a visual utopia born from the assemblage of photographic fragments gathered within an abandoned…

New York: Beyond the Reflection New York is often portrayed for its sharpness and relentless dynamism. However, my gaze has turned elsewhere. In this project, I have chosen to filter the metropolis through handcrafted glass panes, superimposing them over my smartphone’s lens. This technical approach is not merely an aesthetic choice, but a narrative necessity: the glass becomes a veil separating the observer from the subject. The neon lights of…

The street as a stage for the unexpected I have always been drawn to street photography. Over the years, it has become much more than just a photographic practice: it is a way of looking at the world. I never set out with the intention of proving anything or telling a pre-written story. I walk. I observe. I wait for the city to offer me a moment that no one…

Nature City “Nature City” series started in 2019 out of despair, watching helplessly as our rich natural and cultural heritage gradually disappear, giving way to rampant urbanization. It is a plea to bring nature back into our cities, which have become heat islands, creating an imbalance in our climate system—a dream of one day seeing our cities covered in a green mantle. More nature in our cities, not just decorative,…

ROSEGALLERY presents White Fence, Los Cholos, an exhibition of photographs made by Graciela Iturbide in East Los Angeles in 1986. On May 2, 1986, an assignment for the landmark documentary photographic project A Day in the Life of America brought Iturbide to an apartment in the East L.A. neighborhood of Boyle Heights.

Kehrer Verlag publishes Subrosa and the Cult of Aphrodite by Jason Langer. The photographer turns his lens toward Portland, Oregon’s (The Rose City) exuberant and eccentric world of night performance. Over the course of five years, he documented and interviewed more than one hundred performers whose acts blur the boundaries between disguise and revelation, using their bodies as vehicles for both erotic and political expression. His intimate color photographs, captured…

Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Cogitations At exhibition openings, debates, or conferences, this question comes up very often: “What criteria do you use to classify a photograph when you say or write that it is correct, good, or beautiful?” First and foremost, it’s important to understand that a classification is by no means a judgment; it is an assessment that is as objective as possible based on factual observations. The criteria are…

éditions lamaindonne presents KODO by Martin Bogren. He writes: “I went back to Japan to photograph something close to me, without knowing exactly what. I was looking for a stillness that seems impossible to find in a megacity. I told myself that if I could find it in Tokyo, then maybe I could find it in myself too. That's when I discovered the Kodo, a trail winding through forests and…
