Les Rencontres is where I’ll see an incredible collision of photographic disciplines, periods and approaches. It’s a smorgasboard. It’s overload. It’s fantastic. Jeff Dunas https://www.instagram.com/jeffdunas/ www.rencontres-arles.com

When I first came in 1986 I was the newcomer and met the veterans who had been coming since the beginning. Gradually I’ve become one of the veterans. I’m woven into fabric of Les Rencontres. Aside from 2020, I’ve never missed one. Jeff Dunas https://www.instagram.com/jeffdunas/ www.rencontres-arles.com

Hymns to the night When the night has taken over our memories, we will only have our hands left to search it, and an obscure taste on the lips of those who have tasted it. When we have lost our memory – at a time when the doors are closed, the moon pale, the wheat tilting in the evening – we will only have to roam the countryside in search…
I baarioti The baariota is the inhabitant of Bagheria, a city a few kilometers from Palermo, in Sicily. It gave birth to artists such as the painter Guttuso, the photographer Scianna and the Oscar-winning director Tornatore. A small diatribe from the end of the 19th century used to make a difference between "baariota" and "bagherese" ... the first concerned mainly those who did not want to have political and administrative…
Śūnyatā - The Ultimate Void The images displayed here are the first in a series of a personal journey where I search answers to some fundamental questions about life, its meaning and purpose and then later my understanding about nature of ‘Reality’. This quest is taking me to every nook and corner of India meeting sadhus, monks, philosophers, scientists and charlatans alike. Images of this story were shot in different…

Selected Works Since beginning their collaboration, photographers Ning Kai (b. 1987, China) and Sabrina Scarpa (b. 1991, the Netherlands) have been in constant pursuit of beauty. Partners in work and life, their artistic mission has become to portray the land between them. "From east to west, we seek places that bring us closer to nature to capture and convey the poetry and harmony we witness therein. Bridging the spiritual and…
"Rosto de Sal” proposes a reflection on the image as a means of alchemy, elaboration and healing. It raises the incessant metamorphosis of life: energy transforming into matter, matter transforming into energy. We are transitory forms sparking in and out of existence, engendering a continuous movement. In 2021, when my mother's physical-body was ripped away from me by the Inconceivable, I began the journey that would give rise to this…
Sanctuary Frozen in Time When nothing but earth, heaven and nature are the companions of your days and nights, then life is a wonderful journey into the immensity of true freedom. Sanctuary Frozen in Time is a series of photo that takes us on a photographic journey throughout Mongolia with Marc Progin leading us on a pilgrimage back to the origins of life, across a vast domain, where nature is…
Gypsy swing This series presents street portraits of people from different gypsy communities. The fervor, sometimes theatricality, resilience, trans-nationality, travel and increasingly sedentary lifestyle of this often marginalized people are all combined. It's also from all these dimensions that a certain photogenic beauty emerges, which I wanted to show.
Au Bonheur des Dames "Au Bonheur des Dames" is a series of images to illustrate my questions and point out certain situations that I feel are prejudicial to women in today's society. Of course, I questioned the legitimacy, as a man, of tackling these subjects, but I think I speak for many men who are rarely heard. https://maxjuillot.myportfolio.com/
Balkan Trieste - The Damned of the Silos Winter 2024. They arrive from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, then from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Bangladesh. Men fleeing from misery, from wars, from torture. They have crossed the entire Balkan Route, they have been traveling for months, some for years. They enter from Slovenia to finish the game in Trieste, the last north-eastern border for Europe. They faced unspeakable vicissitudes, overcame rejections, beatings from…
A few hours with Eridano I am originally from the Emilia Romagna region of Italy, whose northern border is delimited by the Po – known in roman times as Eridano – the widest and longest of Italian rivers. A fascinating river, the Po is the soul and lifeblood of the fertile valley that stretches from west to east across northern Italy and is one of the most important industrial and…
My first meeting with Jean-Claude Gautrand dates back to yesteryear 1967. I had the honor of being invited to exhibit, by the Grand Cercle, some of my first creative photographs, avenue Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Paris -Champs Elysées. Very active in the “30 × 40” (a large photo club named after the size of the exhibition prints required at the time), Jean-Claude was present at the opening of the large…
It’s hard to believe that it’s already ten years since Camille Lepage was killed. Through this commemoration, we remember her exceptional talent and dedication as a photojournalist, particularly in conflict zones such as the Central African Republic. In 2014, Camille Lepage was awarded the Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation’s first Award of Excellence, a well-deserved recognition of her work. Tragically, however, she did not have the opportunity to receive it in person.…
In his work, Mexican artist Diego Moreno deals with very personal experiences growing up in an environment deeply marked by religion, in which he did not recognize himself. Aware of his homosexuality from a young age, Moreno considered it incompatible with the “good” values instilled in him by family, school and the Catholic Church. In Malign Influences he imagines an alternative reality composed of monstrous beings. He manipulates photos taken…

Hal, an astronaut, suddenly appears on the dock where he meets three idle sailors hanging around. From then on, their lives intertwine while the dock is invaded by a feeling of desire. After an intense struggle, the sailors die in a pool of blood as the passion fades.…
Georgia is the name of the ship that brought a certain Ljubiša Danilovic to New York in 1906, a nineteen-year old Montenegrin dreaming of a different life. A century later, in Butte, a mining town in Montana, the photographer and his namesake began a fictional conversation about exile. In 2021, Ljubiša Danilovic imagined the journey that took him from his native Montenegro to the United States, repeating a journey comparable in…
How was your dream ? is a photographic project realized during the Hong Kong protests between June and October 2019. This work deals with new forms of demonstration and insurrection in our post-contemporary era dominated by hard controlling societies. Five years before, in Hong Kong, the “Umbrella Movement“ was quickly repressed by state and police violence. In 2019 the democratic uprising that began in May, gave itself the means to…

Hans Silvester's photographs of bowling have already been exhibited and published numerous times over the years. A master's eye to identify the game that should not be missed, his instinct to anticipate the event and finally his precise and…
