Gene Lemuel's ESO Gallery in Los Angeles presents until May 11 the work of Rusty Long, a surfer, journalist, writer and photographer.

Release by Artiere editions of To Be by Lois Conner. She presents it like this: When I was 17, my older sister Susan let me photograph her.

Alcatraz Since 2020 I’ve visited Alcatraz - the former prison island in San Francisco Bay – to reflect on pandemic-era themes of isolation, confinement, and social control. Alcatraz is Spanish for a type of bird. We say “free as a bird,” but some birds live in cages. Sometimes they are jailbirds. Alcatraz Island, whose name evokes freedom, has become synonymous not with the bird but with the cage. Although the old penitentiary’s…

The Forgotten Forests “What's the good of liberty if there is no free space on the map? » Aldo Leopold Only these forgotten places against which we have never declared war or with which we have decided to sign a peace pact can give rise to this extraordinary paradox of enigmatic disorder, great confusion, coupled with lasting calm, of a prodigious serenity: the feeling that here everything is in its…
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,…

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…
