Until the 23rd of November, Joseph Bellows Gallery presents the work of Bevan Davies. Bevan Davies: New York Typologies features vintage black and white photographs of lower Manhattan made in the mid-1970s. Davies utilized a large-format view camera to generate images of great depth and clarity, pursuing an approach to documenting the urban landscape of the Empire City that the late photographer Lewis Baltz described as “rigorously contemporary while acknowledging…

What a beautiful book, what a wonderful eye! A Poor Sort of Memory by Tracy L. Chandler captures the essential strangeness of the inhabited desert in a special way, her photos telling us stories about things that happened in a private past. These are not the decisive moments of photo theory but rather the memories of them. They stir emotions in the same way visiting a historical site stir emotions.…
Bruno Quinquet sends us his series “〒YUBIN” and presents it as follows: “〒 YUBIN” is a collection of urban scenes from Tokyo, observed from the standpoint of a postal worker on their delivery round. The 〒 sign, known as “yubin mark”, is the symbol of the postal service (yubin) and zip code in Japan. The idea of emulating a postal worker’s eye on the city arose from my desire to…

Recently discovered at a Paris flea market, František Drtikol's "Nude with Ropes" went to a lucky collector for a magnificent 28,800 euros (starting price: 8,000 euros) at OstLicht Photo Auction. The motif was the only one from this series to appear in the now expensively traded photobook "Women in Light" and – as evidenced by the signature, dating, stamp and labels on the original box – was selected by Drtikol…

This is the sixteenth dialogue in the Ettore Molinario Collection. A dialogue dedicated to that stage of voluptuousness and feminine personality that shoes represent. Heeled shoes, of course, photographed by Monsieur X and Helmut Newton, extraordinary masters, one anonymous and the other world-famous, who, even without ever having met, would have understood each other immediately. They were both women and shoes lovers. And walking together with their creatures, we wish…

Formal Portraits by YLLA (Camilla Koffler, 1911 - 1955) My pictures preach no message and present no scheme of world betterment … I try for simpler goals: the personalities of the animals, their expressions, their beauty. I have often been asked what my favorite animal is. Any animal I am photographing is my favorite until I feel that I have exhausted
The sky essences The sky essences, trees, are at the base of the development and multiplication of the various forms of life on earth. This work finds and reincarnates the mythological tree of life. Trees are necessary, indispensable, they are everywhere but they are also so mistreated and eliminated by human activities. Trees are beings of light. They feed on it, absorb it, reflect it. Photographs are made by light.…
Sorry I Trashed It. The title Is a reference to the planet and my generation passing on a world covered is trash from every corner of the surface of the earth to the depths of the ocean. Somehow the Ocean seems to be a favorite dumping ground for our trash. Most of what we manufacture, purchase, use and consume is made to be perishable and eventually obsolete but at the…
You must believe in spring This project explores my unreliable narrative as an immigrant, as someone alien to a new territory. My work integrates photography and embroidery, creating unique pieces that deconstruct and reconstruct landscape imagery. I capture photos during car journeys, often with my partner driving. I then digitally manipulate these raw images, employing excessive image correction tools("retouch" and "blend" functions) until they lose their single vanishing point. Once…

The shots, while anchored in the tangibility of spaces, invite reflection that transcends the image fixed on film. The monochrome palette and the choice of black and white exalt the drama of architectural forms and chiaroscuro, highlighting the latent nature of places concealing untold stories. Each frame embodies a delicate balance…
The Morning Light In the study of history of photography it’s easy to see how light is fundamental, in fact photographers of every ages have been able to create atmospheres, communicate sensations and show the movement of surfaces through more or less intense contrasts of lights and shadows. Even in the observation of reality we realize that even most common objects get particular visual aspects thanks to light. I studied…

These tableaux — whether…

Born on the island of Hokkaido, in the north of Japan in 1934, Masahisa is the eldest of the Fukase family who managed his own photo studio previously founded by his grandfather. Not very enchanted by the idea of taking over the family…

Until November 2, La Nouvelle Chambre Claire presents Entre rêve et cauchemar, an exhibition by Jean-Christophe Clamagirand. It is accompanied by these few sentences.

After training as a black & white printer at the ECPA ( the film and photography department of the army), during my military Service, I discovered…

Our collaborator Jean-Paul Gavard-Perret publishes a book "Beckett - Extinctions" at the Éditions Douro, Chaumont. Here's how he presents it: Beckett: what happens or the death of words and images This essay expresses the rut which in Beckett springs from the impossibility of retaining anything. The fear of the void, the impossibility of saying and representing becomes the necessary extinguishing of a light until the moment of absolute destitution. Here…
