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…

Among a few invitations by e-mail to traditional vernissages, an image immediately caught my attention on the invite of the Fontaine Obscure. What an interesting photograph, it jumps out at you, intoxicates your mind without knowing why. Well almost, because after the first feeling and emotion, the inquisitive eye will look for other images of the series which it dissects and analyzes. It is this curiosity, a little useless; but,…
For his second exhibition at the in camera gallery, the Catalan photographer Txema Salvans guides us, as usual, through a candid journey far from any artifice. Industrial areas, cargo ports, power stations and evanescent seaside resorts, the series “My Kingdom” documents with humor and light tenderness the gloomy summer adventures of the Spaniards. “I photograph my own culture, people and landscapes. I have to feel a physical connection with the…

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…

On March 11, 2011, an earthquake of unprecedented magnitude devastated the northeastern coast of Japan. This catastrophe devastated and questioned a new generation of photographers: how could images reflect a nightmarish reality? What role should the photographer play? How to evoke the trauma but also the rehabilitation and reconstruction? These works addresse these questions through the contribution of twelve photographers, whose practice was completely reconsidered after the tragedy. The results…
