Failles, entre lieux et non-lieux I in no way wish to add a stone to a hypothetical theory of human nature; I only aspire to propose a more effective and less ethnocentric way to account for what is ordinarily called cultural diversity. Philippe Descola, Les Lances du crépuscule, Plon/Terre humaine, 1993 Faults, between places and non-places is based on a theory formulated by several archaeologists and anthropologists according to which,…
Paris I have traveled a bit in the last 25 years and for seven years in a row I found myself in Paris. Since I’m a photographer, my trips always centered around photography. On my last two trips (2007 and 2019) my work was digital. The 12 year gap between those years can be explained by knowing that I discovered Venice, Italy. You can see two of my Venice in…
The gaze of Edward Dodwell The English archaeologist Edward Dodwell (Dublin 1767-Rome 1832) was one of the first travellers of a new "Thought" born out of the interest and admiration for Greek Civilisation and Culture, called the pro-Hellenic current that arose in the early 19th century and counted Lord Byron among its most active supporters. In 1801 Dodwell undertook his first of three trips to Greece, then still under Ottoman…

Alan Klotz Gallery, New York, will exhibit this image from The Americans, Robert Frank’s magnum opus which changed the way journalism was used by artists and photographers, establishing the field of personal journalism. Documentary records merged with snapshots and serious diaries and placed the photographer right in the middle of the action rather than on the periphery. The Americans was transformational and an entire generation of photographers followed in its…

In 1923 Tina Modotti and Edward Weston moved together from California to Mexico City and, from the start, Modotti became a perceptive student. Some of Weston’s earliest Mexican images, many of them architectural, revealed his developing interest in the inherent geometry of otherwise ordinary objects and structures. This aesthetic would inspire Modotti, so evident in this formal, architectural study of shape and form, on view at Michael Shapiro Photographs, Westport,…
