Château Coquelle in Dunkirk presents until April 5 an exhibition by Thierry Girard entitled: Places of affect [landscapes, people, lives]. He sent us this text.

It was my first artist residency and my first published book, Far-Westhoek; the Westhoek being precisely this western point which forms the border between France, Belgium and the North…

Fog The reddish tiles were still damp and the dead leaves, fallen from the bare trees and black as ravens, when slowly, like an ethereal and graceful woman, a thick blanket of fog descended. She landed on everything and everyone with her wet, cold veil. Everything was full of it. The old and imposing tree, which turned its branches heavily towards the sky, as if to welcome that goddess as…

Erieta Attali : The timeless illusion Born in Tel Aviv, Erieta Attali embodies the Mediterranean light and the mystery of ancient shadows. At the age of fifteen, moving between Athens and the Princes’ Islands, she was already destined for the art of photography. Her strides through forests, her gaze upon archaeological ruins, and her wanderings among abandoned Byzantine churches shaped her vision. The hidden cemeteries overlooking the Sea of Marmara…
Dis quand reviendras tu ? (Say when will you come back?) First of all, the title of the exhibition is fantastic. Its author Marc de Pierrefeu explains it this way! “Black is a sublime light” Barbara is one of those popular artists who are more than the sum of their songs. It is a mental space, a territory that cannot be completely mapped. When Noëmi Waysfeld asked me to work…

On The Road In Tennessee Tennessee roads hold artistic significance as the real and symbolic links between diverse ethnic and spiritual traditions ranging from the Appalachian mountains around Bristol to the Mississippi river flats around Memphis. I am creating a body of work documenting the cultural and physical landscape of Tennessee - along its urban, suburban, and rural pathways - from the point of view of a European-born person living…
Intorno a me I took these photos over several years in Trentino, during my hikes in the Dolomites and the Lagorai range, where I go several times a year. Timeless beauty. Sumptuous beauty. Fragile beauty, however, as the Dolomites face numerous threats endangering their balance: rising temperatures, melting glaciers and eternal snow, thawing permafrost, landslides… The threats are of a worrying magnitude.
The Empire State Building On a frigid day on January 22, 2025, I finally made the trip, which I have postponed for over a decade, to see and photograph New York City, from its outdoor observation deck. The Empire State Building is an ancient warrior of architecture leaning against the Manhattan skyline in defiance of being eclipsed by the growing forest of sleek supertall modern edifices. Waves of tourists jostled…
Born from the Flame This project, beyond using chiaroscuro, is to highlight the woman's curves, highlight the natural charm of the female body, Here the flame of the candle highlights the body while the smoke released dresses it in a soft, voluptuous embrace. This is where the project takes on its full meaning. The woman is stripped naked while preserving her privacy. It's a subtle mix. The series was produced…
Lada, because I'm worth it... In November 2020, Armenia is emerging from the 44-day war with Azerbaijan. The atmosphere could not be better. As photographers of Armenian origin, it seemed obvious to us that my father, my son and I should go to Armenia to bring back images of the situation and the heritage threatened by the consequences of the war. When you set off on a mission like that,…
Low Countries Walking around the Netherlands, particularly in The Hague, Leiden and Delft, I was enchanted by the evolution of sunlight on many surfaces. This was long before I came to live in Paris, France. The subtle action of sunshine imbued these scenes with mystery, and the world with a new beauty, the play of shadows on rock, flesh or water, among other things, reflecting the miracle of existence. These are…
Back to nature The attribution at the end of 2023 of a research grant by Adagp enabled me to produce the series of photographs I am submitting to you. It is entitled Retour à la nature. In the 80s and 90s, I mainly photographed tulips with a Polaroid SX70. For Retour à la nature, I photographed all the flowers with my smarphone, which gave me great spontaneity in the shots…
