From 1984 to 1991, “God” lived in Naples, Italy. Outside the San Paolo stadium, every other Sunday, he could be found walking through the city’s streets, in a shoe store or in a restaurant by the sea. Diego Armando Maradona’s presence in Naples was much more than a football phenomenon for the Neapolitans: it was above all a religious experience. The presence of Dios in their city was a mystical…

I also had body aches…
For his second exhibition at the in camera gallery, the Catalan photographer Txema Salvans guides us, as usual, through a candid journey far from any artifice.

I have to feel a physical connection with the…
Willy Maywald (1907-1985) was one of the most important photographers in Paris from the 1930s to the 1960s. His training at the Werkkunstschulen in Krefeld, Cologne and Berlin shaped his avant-garde formal language. In 1932 he moved on the Seine, where he made friends with many protagonists of artistic modernism. His range of subjects, which includes both commissioned and free works, extends from a spectacular collection of portrait photographs and…

Since 2006, Dany Leriche and Jean Michel Fickinger have been making numerous trips to Mali to meet the leaders of the various brotherhoods of hunters-donso. Guardians of a way of thinking and rites called "animist", a representation of the original world that the wear and tear of time has spared, these "hunters of the invisible" controlling the magic, perpetuate the past and knowledge. They are both healers and soothsayers. Long…
An opportunity, two in fact, to deepen our knowledge of the work by this author, who shed new light on the landscape, the people who inhabit it and the space of the world. The occasion, then, is two exhibitions dedicated to him (as well as two books), which are being held almost simultaneously in Parma and Milan and which, in these years, when the dematerialisation of the image seems to…

I met Julian Sander through the DGPh, the German Association for Photography, back during the times of Corona. We talked about his gallery program, the legacy of his great-grandfather, August Sander, and the focus of his gallery.

Miami Beach Convention Center, Wednesday, Dec 4th, 2024 The quiet calm from Untitled spilled into the Convention Hall on Miami Beach. Arriving a bit earlier, I wandered upstairs, grabbed a spinach empanada, and settled into a chair on the roof deck. Here, Miami revealed its magic: crisp breezes swayed palm trees, their shimmering leaves catching the light and inviting a moment of stillness. Right at 11am, I joined the line…

Jean-Jacques Naudet Bart Ramakers and his artistic team…
