Transience and Belonging I aim to show the progression of the feeling of not belonging anywhere as something natural. I transit between the landscapes like a figure, I leave no trace, nothing I take, nothing I bring. I arrive at the moment when I find myself facing the prospect that in order to be alive we need roots. My motivation comes from the idea that it is necessary to feed…
These photographs, from the series “Living Ghosts,” are taken through glass filters to create blurring and obscuring effects. These painterly photographs, which live at the border between knowledge formation and the world we see, engage themes of history, politics, perception, and the mysterious question of why we think we know what we know. Given the human tendency to perceive connections between unrelated or random data, which is a pressing concern…
The Walkers Street Art, popular and ephemeral visual art, has conquered many areas of our cities around the world in recent years. The movement of indifferent passers-by is part of the frozen pose of these portraits with powerful looks. The moment of confinement gives additional value to our social and cultural habits which we are deprived of, but also allows time for reflection. Here our relationship to the street, the…

This exhibition has been canceled, postponed or can only be seen by appointment: we have decided to show it to you! Max Scheler – Der Philosoph unter den Fotografen (The philosopher among the photographers) Starting the spring season, the Flo Peters Gallery honores the work of photographer Max Scheler with a solo exhibition. 30 works provide an insight into the work of the subtle exceptional artist, who has been wrongly almost forgotten today. Max Scheler, born in Cologne in 1928 as the son of the German philosopher of the same name, frst studied art history and German studies in Munich, […]
This exhibition has been canceled, postponed or can only be seen by appointment: we have decided to show it to you! Galerie &CO119 collaborated with Foto Femme United (FFU) to launch their first ever open call photography competition and exhibition on the topic of censorship in the media. The competition had no entry fee and was open to all women identifying photographers worldwide. SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE FFU claims that censorship of art on social media is not only embarrassing: ruthless while being random, but that it hides a deeper dimension. April Wiser, founder of the FFU, says that […]
Chapter One: On Abortion Under “natural” circumstances, the average woman would get pregnant about 15 times in her life, resulting in ten births. Seven of those babies would survive childhood. For centuries, people have searched for ways to delay or terminate pregnancy. Today, safe and efficient means of abortion finally exist, yet women around the world continue to use ancient, illegal or risky home methods: Every year, 47,000 women around the world die due to botched abortions. Why do they take the risk? Across countries and religions, millions of women are blocked from abortion technologies by law and social coercion, […]
For its 2020 outing, the Biennale für aktuelle Fotografie (Biennale for Current Photography) is curated by David Campany around a set of thematically distinct exhibitions taking place in three cities and six museums. The catalogue, The Lives and Loves of Images, introduces each of the exhibitions, the photographers and the projects behind the works on display. The result is an engagement, verbal and visual, with aspects of contemporary photography. It is commonplace to say that we inhabit a culture dominated by images but, notes Campany, ‘really it is an image-text culture’. We look at pictures and they speak when responses […]
In the hall of Rangoon Central Station, a large format print of an unlikely encounter between a diver and a whale overlooks the waiting room and intrigues travelers. This amazing photo is not there by chance, it is one of the works exhibited in several public places in the city, during the Yangon Photography Festival (YPF). For its 12th edition, the festival invests in new popular spaces, where waiting and idleness usually reign: the hall of the central station, and the Dala ferry terminal. A spectator dressed in a longyi, the traditional Burmese habit, stops for several minutes to contemplate […]
I thought that in 45 years of reporting in 170 countries I had seen everything, the best and the worst of men, wars, famines, riots, earthquakes, volcanoes, crimes, Chernobyl, Fukushima, fascist or communist dictatorships, pollution , etc … But now, during this reportage from Marseille to Nice, barely meeting 20 people, and a few police men , I can hardly find the words to express this vacuum. As if humanity had disappeared … and being alone, really alone in Saint Tropez in the spring … even the weirdest writers would not have done better … or worse ???? François Lochon […]
His name: Jean-Pascal Hesse. He is a writer, director of communication for Pierre Cardin and a lover of Capri. He has just finished a book on this subject with a preface by Brigitte Bardot who was filmed by Jean-Luc Godard in Le Mépris. And this is precisely what he is looking for today: a very nice photo of Bardot taken on the island at the time of the filming in May 1963! If you think you have an image corresponding to his wishes: jph.75@hotmail.fr
Quarantine Days Life has inertia. It rolls on even when we tell it to stop. I make pictures and tell stories, and that keeps me busy and gives me a sense of purpose in the world. But now, that world has gone away. We told it to come to an end a couple of weeks ago and it did. It makes sense, of course, it just doesn’t “make sense” to the me that does things. I’ve been struggling in this new world, afraid every minute I’m going to make a miss-step and die but finding it necessary to go out […]
Fashion Windows Last week I took this series of photos of the windows of high-end fashion brands that were empty, without any products on display, I find that it is a historic moment, windows of this kind of brands have never been empty in front of the public, as a symbol of what is happening with the global economic crisis and the absence of people on the street, therefore the absence of fashion. – Luis Alejandro Cuéllar www.lacuellar.com http://instagram.com/lacuellar
Travel and photograph despite these times of confinement! Vorkouta is a photo reportage about a small city in the north of Russia, 150 km above the polar circle. The originality of this series is that I have never been to Russia; which mean, that I have never walked through the streets of Vorkouta. It is thanks to Google Street View that I could discover this small town of about 60 000 inhabitants and take pictures as if I was an invisible visitor and compose this post-photography series. During those time of confinement, I therefore invite the readers of The Eye of Photography missing wide […]
