Whatever you do, don’t tell Katrien de Blauwer that she makes collages: “Let's say I’m a photographer without a camera. For me, cutting is comparable to clicking on the shutter release”. She snips, glues, assembles, infringes, colors and handles photographs from the old magazines she collects. Close to photomontage or film editing, her works conceal an intense narrative charge. They are linked to memory and personal history, but, paradoxically, as…

Galerie XII Paris presents the work of Danish artist Susanne Wellm who combines photography with weaving. Gabriel Bauret writes this text. The history of photography, since its invention, is that of a conquest to gain more details, to master the restitution of lights and colors, to the point of giving an ever more realistic representation of the world. And as in a pendulum swing, artists have conversely worked to find…
