Thomas Mailaender has been known as an exhibition maverick, a technical swashbuckler, a collector of curios, in short, something of an outlaw of art; now, he is presenting himself wearing two new hats: an industrious artist and a worksite foreman. He intends to plunge, mix, coat, light, expose, print, bind, project, recycle, destroy, and, while doing this, place all of these actions and gestures on display. A handcraft manufactory, therefore,…
Anchored in ideas around deep time (which can be loosely defined as a geological history of the planet), paleoclimatology (the study of past climates) and relational geographies, Noémie Goudal’s complex and performative series of films and constructed photographs reflect on the inter-connectedness of human and non-human life. Knitting together lush vegetation, rocky coastlines, snow-capped mountains and swamplands, her latest body of work explores spatiotemporal vastness and post-anthropocentric modalities of belonging.…
An eponymous exhibition will be held at the Chapelle du Méjan from July 4 to September 25 on the occasion of the Rencontres de la Photographie d'Arles 2022. In southern Chile, the forest catalyzes several struggles for life. In the beginning, that of the Mapuche indigenous peoples for the preservation of their territorial and cultural sovereignty in the face of Spanish imperialism, now perpetuated by the expansion of the agroforestry…

Lucien Clergue, was born in Arles in 1934 a few steps from the arenas. He was brought up by his mother, a grocer in La Roquette, the neighborhood of the Rhône sailors and gypsies. A man from the South, he photographed his territory and its inhabitants, the sands, the nudes in the sea, the gypsies, his native Camargue, and immerses us in Mediterranean civilization. For nearly sixty years, light and…
On the occasion of the new edition of Photo-poche by Frank Horvat (1928-2020), Actes Sud presents an exhibition in Arles during the Rencontres. A selection of around forty intimate images rarely exhibited tfrom his reportages from the 50s and 60s. Curious Frank Horvat sneaks up and watches. See everything and link what surrounds him to better understand; an appetite that guided him until the last moments. He seeks the eyes,…
On June 17, 2022, la Galerie Coutaz inaugurated its space at 7 rue Balechou in Arles. The Gallery presents an exhibition of Denis Brihat, godfather of the gallery. A major photographer of the second half of the 20th century, the artist, or rather “The man of the craft” as he says, participated in the emancipation of photography in contemporary art from the beginning of the 1960s Settling in Bonnieux in 1958,…
Colette Pourroy unveils the 4th part of her family saga, which will be presented during the first week of the Rencontres d'Arles, with the simultaneous publication of the book L'ombre de Kate, published by André Frère, and an exhibition L'ombre de Kate, from 22 black and white photos, printed by Andres Romero. The Absent Face by Fabien Ribery In the beginning there was darkness, then hollowness, then a blinding…
The Atlas in Motion presents the work carried out by Mathieu Pernot for more than ten years with migrants and offers a new perspective in the way of representing them. Astronomy, botany, anatomy, cartography, the history of writing, the question of habitat are summoned in this atlas as knowledge common to all of humanity. A common knowledge that is embodied here by individuals with singular destinies encountered by the author.…
The Rencontres d’Arles present, for the first time in France, the exhibition A Feminist Avant-Garde. Photographs and Performances of the 1970s from the Verbund Collection, Vienna, with over 200 works by 71 female artists. The exhibition title refers to “an” Avant-Garde, one containing a multitude of feminist movements, diverse in age, nationality, and culture. Feminisms are also considered in intersectional terms because some of those female artists have experienced, and continue…
Between 1978 and 1989, Mitch Epstein made eight trips to India and shot thousands of photographs. The result is an extensive body of work that shows Epstein’s unusual dual vantage in an extraordinarily complicated culture: Through his Indian family life and work, he was both an insider and outsider. These photographs, many of which are exhibited here for the first time, show a wide swath of subcultures which Epstein was…
In a week, the 53rd Rencontres d'Arles Festival will open. We are devoting the whole week to it. The first indications: an interesting but very artistic program. All the other components of photography have almost disappeared. Decision-making centers have become multiple and decentralized. It is no longer the Rencontres d’Arles Festival but that of the whole region. The Off, open, creative, free and friendly seems dead, replaced by a pack…
Kristian Gavoille : Photographer by accident. Born on the Congo River, Kristian Gavoille grew up on the Mediterranean coast. If he studied architecture and design, he dreamed long before that of becoming an oceanographer, then a sailing instructor in Banyuls sur Mer, his grandmother's village. In the end, destiny decided otherwise, and he also became a photographer. In 1986, he started as Philippe Starck's main collaborator before opening his own…
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…
Serge Assier: he is one of the last mythical figures of Mediterranean photography. Often ignored, sometimes mistreated like last year by a few ignorant town hall employees who wanted to throw away his archives, which fortunately the State and Heritage have recovered. Aware of the passage of time and always in search of a more than deserved recognition, this year he rented a place to show his images in Arles…
If there is no established definition, the notion of wild habitats, chosen by the artist to qualify the living places of the people she met, allows both to embrace the complexity of her approach and the heterogeneity of the situations observed. As opposed to the notion of home, which refers to the idea of a conventional house, that of savage testifies to a desire to be part of an unconventional…
This exhibition, whose title "the blind spot" refers to the Mariotte blind spot (the only place of the retina that does not see), is the culmination of the unprecedented research carried out by the photographer and visual artist Jacqueline Salmon on an object central and yet very absent from research in Art History: the perizonium. Attached to the figure of Christ, this loincloth is both a veil of modesty, a…
The selfie is a photographic genre within everyone's reach. Its vocation is to talk about oneself in the best possible circumstances. The opposite would be strange. However, it only shows an apparent truth where staging occupies a deceptive place. The purpose of this series is to go against usage, where it is impossible to cheat. The women represented appear naked, without artifice, lying on their sofa. They choose their positions…
The Covid plague seems to be dozing off. Are we going to have real holidays? In any case, we will try and photograph them. This summer, again, we will mix everything. No more barriers: the week will be devoted to holiday photos and news from the photographic world. And the weekend, will always be dedicated to your very own portfolios. Next week will be devoted entirely to the Rencontres d'Arles…
