Fragility Road Steps of Melancholy I travelled between space and time, between touch and smell, between sight and hearing. Everything was open, closed in my house. The rust-coloured air smells of antiquity. Of an antique that, you feel, belongs to you. Of an antique that speaks to you. That colour speaks to you. Roots present in things appear to you in the flow of views and perspectives. Visions of feeling…
Being: I am in, I found you I became who I was afraid of becoming. A being with a social form as its only identity. And the worst thing for the one I was is that he did rather well. 40 years ago I was doing photography then for more than 20 years I stopped. I traveled and led a professional career as a sociologist, leaving the photography boxes in…
Skies of Highlands The Scottish Highlands offer an unforgettable experience for those who want to take the time to immerse themselves in them. Many places are renowned for their beauty. But these landscapes would only be a shadow of themselves without the incredible skies that sweep over them. The sky, or rather the skies, are the subjects of this series. The relief is merely a showcase for these masses of…

The relationship between dance and fashion began in the Renaissance period, where social dancing echoed society's values. Historically, around the 1830s-1840s Romantic era, ballerinas were becoming the epitome of beauty. Ballerinas were idealized and regarded as celebrities. Today fashion models are more so subject to these standards. Around the same time, ballroom dance culture emerged, beginning with the waltz. Social developments of the time were reflected through the movements, but…

Editions Imogène (with the support of the Antoine de Galbert Foundation) publishes Privaatt, the book by artist Aalam. Regime collapses mark our collective memory. The images of dictators finally defeated, totally vulnerable, have indelibly imprinted our retinas. Benito Mussolini hanging by his feet, Muammar Gaddafi on his knees, Saddam Hussein haggard... With the same aim of annihilating the monstrous power of these tyrants, the Egyptian artist Aalam chose to divert…

The Berlin space presents a retrospective of the committed Austrian artist VALIE EXPORT. From her first successes to her practice of land art, through her reinterpretations of classic paintings, the exhibition retraces an entire body of work dedicated to the cause of women. In 1967, at the age of 27, she took the pseudonym VALIE EXPORT. A capital act for the woman who, through this means, got rid of the…

ACC Art Books releases New York: High Life, Low Life by Dafydd Jones. If there was ever a time to get away with a little trouble, it was New York in the 1990's.

Until May 11, the Ithaque gallery in Paris is showing an exhibition by Raphaël Gotheil entitled Israel Post October 7. It is accompanied by this text. Hamas’ large-scale attack on southern Israel on October 7th, 2023, set many precedents. Leaving more than 1,200 Israelis dead, mostly civilians, it was the bloodiest day in Jewish history since the Holocaust. Unlike any time in Israel’s history, including the 1948 War of Independence,…
Viltin Gallery in Budapest presents Permutation, an exhibition by Péter Tímár as part of the Budapest Photo Festival 2024 program. The photographer writes : I have also learned that one must seek the best. Just as it is the actor's job to find the best tone of voice, the best gesture, so it is with the photographer who seeks the 'best' moment, the best angle, framing, tone. But often this…
Jean-Claude Marguerite sends us this portfolio accompanied by this text: At the beginning of the 2000s, I lived a stone's throw from the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris. On my first walk, I was struck by the self-importance displayed by the male busts, almost all made on the same model. I then began to photograph the female statuary, in black and white and in 6x6. I moved shortly after, and another…
Seen on the Corridor Éléphant website this portfolio by Bruno Dumas. He writes : How to explain, or even develop meaning in a speech where just the second is the most important. The instant, so furtive an instinct, challenges our eyes to what must be, perhaps a good image, a beautiful illustration. But this second, just this second when I think I have brushed against the Holy of the Holy…
