Photography has been woven so thoroughly into the contours of our lives that we rarely stop to feel its texture. Evan Roth does. In A Hundred Thousand Years of Light, his solo exhibition at Dorothée Nilsson, Berlin, photographic images are digitally printed onto fabric and stitched with a domestic sewing machine, thread tracing a path that wanders without destination. What happens when a contemporary artist chooses quilting as the primary…

"Self-portraits" Giorgia Bellotti lives in the province of Bologna, Italy, high up in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. Since childhood, it was drawing and painting were the disciplines that she preferred. It was only a few years ago that she discovered photography as an artistic medium. This gave her the impetus to start artistic research focused on herself and her inner universe. Giorgia uses the self-portrait to see herself, heal herself, seek herself,…

Archives - July 2, 2019 As the publisher of Collectors Photography magazine in the mid-eighties, I decided to head to Arles and see about finding new photography to publish in the magazine in 1986. As anyone who has tried knows, finding a room in Arles during what was then called the Rencontres Internationale de la Photo (RIP which was an unfortunate acronym because while in French it sounds fine, in…

To celebrate the bicentenary of photography, Christie’s exceptionally presents a selection of works from the prestigious collection of Roger Thérond, former editor-in-chief of Paris Match, which the house…
There is a certain poetry in the fact that Christie’s Paris is devoting an exhibition to Jean-Marie Périer at the very same time they are exhibiting the Roger Thérond Collection. Once again, these two figures of Photography find themselves within the same walls, a short distance from 63 Champs-Élysées, the building of the Filipacchi Publications where they saw so much of each other, often alongside Jean-Jacques Naudet, who would surely…

Laughter. It is the first thing that strikes us when we visit Sophie Calle’s exhibition at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. Visitors, whether alone or in groups, often find their jaw muscles tensing or let out a faint snort through their nose when their gaze falls upon one of the French artist’s projects. In a country where the locals are known for being rather reserved, this can…
Jackson Fine Art presents Vee Speers' newest release The King's Court, a series influenced from the extravagant courts of Versailles. Known for drawing historical and cultural references throughout her career, this collection explores contemporary themes of identity, performance, and illusion that nods to the classical portraiture of the period. Like the courtiers who lived under the watchful eye of the King, her subjects are caught between self-expression and societal expectation. Spoiled by adoration, Louis…
DashBook publishes Épreuves bleues by Julie Michelet. Épreuves bleues is an artist’s book built around the cyanotype, an early photographic process whose deep blue becomes here the territory of an intimate exploration of identity. Through portraits, self-portraits and staged scenes, Julie Michelet interrogates what constitutes an individual: what is visible, what is lived, what is inherited and what is transformed. The images answer one another, overlap and metamorphose across the…
Archives - July 1, 2015 Germaine Krull is at once one of the best-known figures in the history of photography, by virtue of her role in the avant-gardes from 1920 to 1940, and a pioneer of modern photojournalism. She was also the first to publish in book form as an end in itself. The exhibition at Jeu de Paume revisits Germaine Krull’s work in a new way, based on collections…

For more than forty years, François Halard has explored through his images the sensitive traces left by time, architecture and landscape not as backdrops, but as spaces inhabited by an invisible presence. The Hôtel de Gallifet invited him for an unprecedented exhibition bringing together more than a hundred photographs, some previously unseen. A choice that seems entirely natural given how fully the photographer’s world enters into dialogue with that of…

Born in Romania in 1970 and raised in Germany…
