Josef Dapra is an Austrian photographer born in 1922. Starting from the idea that "The world is all that is going on" dear to Wittgenstein, he doubled reality as it is with his portraits of the women of his country. When knowledge is inscribed on the matrix of reality, the artist adds an extra bit of soul to it. He gives each portrait a special emotion. Suggestion creates a particular…

Making these photographs has been a way to document, in a very personal way, the times I’ve spent with friends over a 38-year period. We all come to invest in the friendships we’ve made and continue to make here. Jeff Dunas https://www.instagram.com/jeffdunas/ www.rencontres-arles.com
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

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.

"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 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…
