Paths My paths are a starting point. They are a collection of the fascination I feel when I discover them... Paths hide a thousand possibilities; they can open up a new path or close another.

As Above, So Below:…

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…
