Death Valley I had long been curious to explore Death Valley, California. A rare weather event had brought extreme amounts for rain filling Badwater Basin with water for the first time since 2005, so it seemed like the right time to make the trek to this harsh desert landscape. On arrival, our 4X4 jeep immediately got stuck in the mud, but thankfully, passersby were kind of enough to help, literally,…

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.

Social developments of the time were reflected through the movements, but…

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.

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…

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.
