Release by Atelier EXB of the title Horses by Jane Evelyn Atwood, which presents a little-known part of the photographer's work: her passion for horses. She presents it as follows: Since I was very young, it has always been a love story between horses and me. When we lived in Tennessee, it didn't cost anything to ride horses and that's where I learned to ride. Much later, I started show…

In Gien, the castle overlooks the roofs of the city and dominate the Loire which flows, to the rhythm of the seasons, more or less lazily. A soothing gentleness is required since automobile transits are asked to cross the river outside the walls of the city and its venerable bridge. For once it is possible to approach an exhibition with a liberated and relaxed mind, without having to rush out…

In Berlin's Mitte district, the Chaussee 36 gallery presents the first solo exhibition in Germany by the mysterious Swedish-British artist AdeY. Conceived as a nod to Instagram and its rigid censorship of nudity, Uncensored questions our relationship to the body and human relationships through a dialogue between photography and dance. AdeY is a plural artist: choreographer, dancer, photographer… His artistic practice explores in a transversal way the themes of identity…

The small mountain borders the village of Coustouges (Costoja) located at an altitude of 827 meters in the Haut Vallespir and is part of the Eastern Pyrenees in the very south of France. It is less than 1…

Terra Femina Deep inside of me, I have always had this land, these places that make our path of life. This land, the land of the women, those who are the guardian of our humanity, those who are our past and our future, our roots and our dreams. Mother-Earth, fecund earth, fertile earth, the one that bears the world Flowers show up in my work to tell life from conception…

The Weight of light The Weight of Light project arose from my pressing need to shield myself from light, seen here as a metaphor for the high expectations I once placed on the land where I live (Salento, in southern Italy). Such expectations, often unmet, left me deeply disappointed, eventually driving me to leave my birthplace. I ended up moving to London for a while, and upon my return, I…

The finger A few photos that wouldn't have a voice without a finger! From the existential finger to the master finger, from the questioning finger to the sniffing finger, from the missing finger to the pointing finger, from the middle finger to the Barthian finger, here's a selection.

Dysturban ‘I don’t have any politics. I’m an observer.’ -Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness [01] Konmark’s photographs are shadowy and mercurial as one’s psyche. His black and white images portray a subdued urban environment, mainly faceless and sometimes threatening, where human figures appear to be consumable, albeit beautifully romantic in their decay. One detects the presence of an uncanny shadow, sometimes pitch black, and sometimes grainy… As Carl Gustav…

(Ni) queue ni tête In Hans Christian Andersen's story “The Emperor's New Clothes”, the emperor is naked. However, even naked, the emperor remains emperor. But what will he be if he also loses his face? In this series, the faces disappear, hidden by a mask, a cone or any other accessory. Do these characters look at the future, at the past, inside themselves? No one knows. Are they optimistic, resigned,…

The digital shadows of words My visit to the North Caucasus residence coincided with the start of work on the project of the Chechen poet Arbi Mamakayev. The first thing that was done was look up information about him online. The biography of Arbi tells the tale of a man who experienced a challenging period of transition. In the Chechen-Ingush ASSR, in the village of Nadterechnoye, he was born in…

Two Visits to Poland In this portfolio of 15 photographs, the first 7 are from a visit in 2013 to Augustów, a small town in the north east, quite close to the Lithuanian border. It is an inland resort, with leisure activities centred on the river Netta and lakes. The final 8 are from a visit to Gdansk in 2017. They were all taken on Ulica Dluga (Dluga Street/’The Royal…

In 2008, the Photo Phnom Penh festival was born on the initiative of Alain Arnaudet who was then the director of the French Cultural Center, now the French Institute of Cambodia (IFC). He had already launched a dance festival, a street music festival, and theater activities, when he met two young people who wanted to exhibit their photographs before the creation of the gallery, library and restaurant. Concerned by the…

Chiron Duong (Durong Quang Dat) Vietnam. Born 1996 To paint a portrait of Vietnamese youth today, Chiron Duong proceeded in a systematic and highly organized manner. He asked each of his models, all different, to come to his studio with two types of clothing, those they usually wear on a daily basis to go for a coffee or meet friends and those they reserve for more important, more formal events,…
