The Eye Photography: World Photography Art History, Latest News and Photography Events

Forgotten, Not Gone I have this fascination with the old structures that were built in and about the Western United States— being that arid geography generally west of the Mississippi. It seems to be something of a flawed fit between the Euro Americans who first settled the west and the stone buildings constructed during the colonial area in the eastern US by the first landed settlers. These structures had a…

Alice and Nelly, a story or a fairy tale? I will now tell you the story, or rather the fairy tale, of "Alice and Nelly in Wonderland..." Once upon a time there were a sister and brother, Alice and Nellino (Nelly for their friends), two teachers who, at some point in their lives, decided to leave their jobs behind and completely devote themselves to their greatest passion: art. They were…

The heap of the past “This is how it works: the past accumulates, while the present holds back only a moment before pouring drop by drop into that same pile.” From “Jimi Hendrix in Lviv” by Andrei Kurkov The past appears variegated in its crystallization, in its chaotic packing.

Dissolving borders to the delight of getting lost Along the streets, in Aix en Provence, Montpellier, Nîmes, Arles or Avignon, capture fragments of time. Scenes of life, familiar or confusing, from the decisive moment to the poetry of the ephemeral, trying to dissolve the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. A gift from the photographer to the viewer, from the luminous alchemy of suspended time to “the invisible beauty of…

The seagulls, my holiday feeling What a feeling of freedom when I observe birds in full flight. I fly with them up there... Since my youngest age, hearing the seagulls has always been a great pleasure for me. It is synonymous with holidays, the seaside, seashells, all the things I love. What a joy to wake up in the early morning and hear them... Through this series of photos I…

Deauville is a generous land for photography. The idyll of the fascinations of Robert Doisneau, Robert Capa or Gisèle Freund and the town can today boast of hosting on its shores and within its walls, one of the most exciting festivals, Planches Contact. Since 2021, Deauville has had a multi-purpose cultural facility, in place of a nineteenth-century convent of the Franciscan sisters, which has been remodelled and upgraded by the…

Since the beginning of the year, the C/O Berlin space has devoted a major exhibition to the American photographer. On the program, vast spaces, singular points of view, cars from the last century and nothing, in which there is absolutely everything. Before becoming the illustrious craftsman of color that we know, it was in black and white that William Eggleston forged his unconventional vision of the world around him. As…

When Hans Silvester showed me the design of his latest album and asked me to write a presentation for it, I was really amazed by the quality of his superb photographs. We immediately agreed that for such a work, a preface, a preamble, a presentation, an exordium or any other development would be absurd. Each photograph is a poem resulting from the communion between the Horse and the Photographer. It…
