In January 2019, at the age of 51, Geneva photographer Jean Revillard suddenly disappeared. Death seized him while he was photographing the forest of Huelgoat, in Brittany. His photographic work is a committed testimony to the multiple, often dramatic, realities of our world. It is preserved today by the Bibliothèque de Genève. Three years before his death, Jean Revillard published Outland, a work bringing together the projects that were dearest…

Wonderful, this revival of Gaston Paris that we are currently witnessing! In addition to the Centre Pompidou, it is at the Galerie Roger-Viollet that you can also see his pictures. Gaston Paris (1903-1964) had an impressive photographic oeuvre both by its style and by the diversity of the subjects it represents, from the festive intoxication of the thirties to the difficulties of the post-second world War. The world is a…

Hecatombe Hécatombe explores life after death, the Other Life: where the human being is no more than a carnal envelope returning to the earth, where beauty, glory and power become perfect inanity, and where nature follows its crushing cycle. Angelic faces putrefy, clothes disintegrate, vines cover graves, insects attack flesh and, finally, everything disappears. Ghost-women, statue-women, corpse-women: Hecatombe explores the vain and ephemeral nature of our existences. The greatest beauties…
...but so many good things happened to you! Why is it that we remember good memories less than bad ones? In my project I am looking for the answer to this through family portraits which I appear in or I have taken in the past, and which I have good memories of, but forgot them over time. Without looking at photos, it’s like there are only pixels in the place…
I divide my photographic activity between portraiture and travel. I've always traveled, and I've always taken photos of my travels. I've lugged kilos of equipment and refrigerated film to many remote corners of the world. I have thousands of slides in storage. But that was before. With age, I travel light now, my hybrid, my phone and my sneakers. I don't plan my trips “so I don't miss anything I…
Interiors Small apartments.Dark rooms. Increasingly narrower spaces. People sitting, waiting. Without hope, without illusion. Lost.
Into Their Souls An interpretation of what my “Decisive moment” is through my 52 years of Street Photography Henri Cartier-Bresson talks about what he calls “The Decisive Moment”, he says: “Composition must be one of our constant preoccupations, but at the moment of shooting it can stem only from our intuition, for we are out to capture the fugitive moment, and all the interrelationships involved are on the move.” For…
The Old Oak Or the Call of Nature Remarkable tree From a small seed, you've become the Master of this land. Several hundred years old year after year, you draw closer to the firmament. As I leaned against your bark, I felt a heartbeat... I heard it shudder.... you are the memory of the past... It is said that you are the "Tree of Doors", that you allow passage between…
Hands Hands from here, hands from elsewhere, hands from yesterday, hands from today, hands loved, hands unknown, hands placed, hands caught in flight, hands like so many portraits both singular and universal.
The 23rd Lodz FotoFestiwal will be held until June 23. This year's theme, "Letting Go / Liberation", is explained as follows by the organizers: Fotofestiwal 2024 emerged from the collective need of freeing ourselves from curatorial boundaries. Used to designing each edition around a theme, this year took the idea of letting go, to encounter a loose approach, paired with multiple readings, without full restriction of a word. Thus, the…
Peter Pflügler presents his project Now is not the right time at the Lodz Fotofestiwal 2024. Here is his text ! When I was two years old, my father went into the woods with the intention of never coming back. For almost 20 years, my parents chose silence about his suicidal attempt. And still, I found myself drawn to the place where the incident happened and on its anniversary a…
Michalina Kacperak presents her project Soft Spot at the Lodz Fotofestiwal 2024. Here is her text ! There is a very popular saying in Poland, which I have heard many times in my life in various situations: ‘Fish and children have no voice’. I decided that I would give a say to all the children and the child in me. Our family is devoid of adults, those who grew up…

Each work is presented in a box which forms the frame. The format of each of the PODAS is the same, 9X12 cm, the price is also always the same, forty-nine euros. These are the specificities of…

Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Chronicle I am always sorry to see, before my eyes, a buyer being tricked by one of our peers without much scruple. The scene becomes totally distressing when the seller (also producer of the image) commits his misdeed in complete innocence. The worst is when the sale is made by an intermediary, also called a professional, who literally defrauds his buyers at risks shared by the author,…
The Galerie Le Réverbère in Lyon will close at the end of the year. Histoire(s) sans fin will be their last collective exhibition, it will open in September.
