Until May 18, 2025, the Haut de France Centre Régional de la Photographie presents Arlene Gottfried, Singing Photographer, in partnership with Les Douches la Galerie. New York, in the 1970s and 1990s, is the scene of irresistible social diversity, revealing a gallery of characters, each more eccentric than the last. With humor and tenderness, American photographer Arlene Gottfried (1950-2017) made a portrait of her hometown with a thousand faces, finding…
Release by Dewi Lewis Publishing of Writing in the Sand by Finnish photographer Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen. As a presentation, these few lines by the photographer. The sandy beaches of North East England are beautiful... the high-spirited happenings are spontaneous, generous acts of Geordie exuberance. Here you find yourself laughing with your fellow creatures; and before you know it, you too have been transformed into a child, adding your antics to the…

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…
Jean Paul Olive presents in this book a new photographic odyssey, the adventure of an indefatigable traveler, at odds with everything digital. The b & w reality, with strong images of Greece sitting on its past questions the present. The game of hopscotch from land to sea, characters to landscapes, struggle between shadow and light, echoes the words of Blaise Cendrars, throwing his shoes overboard, to go to the end…

Spomeniks The SPOMENIKS, ‘monuments’ in Yugoslav, are a group of architectural totems erected by Tito to celebrate the friendship of the partisans of this former part of the Eastern bloc. The Brutalist concrete style has an avant-garde gigantism that transports us into a veritable science-fiction film and counters the Soviet style of busts and statues. My inspiration was tinged with a supernatural touch, using lighting and night shots to give…
Orient The notion of the Orient refers first and foremost to the source of light, the place from which the dawn rises. The Oriental world is not a geographical space, but a cultural area, a phantasmatic projection shaped by the collective Western mentality, a concept into which everyone projects their imagination, arousing fascination and curiosity. Orient, Orients... From the Balkans to the Far East, I went to meet its smells,…

It is dedicated to capturing the silent isolation concealed between bustling spaces, cityscapes, and digital interactions, portraying each person as a faint whisper amidst an overwhelming cacophony. The project frames a…

These mysterious entities captivate the collective imagination with their ancient and indecipherable allure. Their origin is shrouded in mystery, with multiple interpretations that never reach a certain truth. Like fleeting apparitions, the Cucibocca emerge from nowhere, bringing with them a profound and arcane significance. On the night before…

The Desert by the Sea The Desert by the Sea is a series shot around the Salton Sea in the Mojave Desert of Southern California. I stumbled across this unlikely destination while browsing through the work on the Californian desert by the American photographer Robert Misrach. Misrach had fascinated me and opened the doors to a new imagination. I decided to go there twenty years later, to follow in his…
Halcyon Days Morning Aletheia “Landscape pictures can offer us three verities: geography, autobiography, and metaphor. Geography is, if taken alone, sometimes boring, autobiography is frequently trivial, and metaphor can be dubious. But taken together, as in the best work of people like Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Weston, the three kinds of information strengthen each other and reinforce what we all work to keep intact, an affection for life.” Robert Adams…
