French Textures French Textures is a collection of photographs hyper focused on the streets and walls of Paris, France, taken from a wandering pedestrian’s point of view in September 2023. A visiting flaneur takes 150 thousand steps around the city, 90 years after Brassai, through doorways and sidewalks, interior day, exterior night, noticing the effects of weather, time, and man on the texture of the city’s surfaces.
Volver a Chile My father was born in Chile. Like many others, he had to flee the dictatorship to take refuge in Europe. And like many refugees, he left a part of himself behind in his country. I've been travelling regularly to Chile for several years now. The landscapes and history there give me a better understanding of my father, his story and also my own. Each trip is an…
Souls of the Dead Forest The project is inspired by a popular theme – exploring yourself, listening to your subtle mental processes. This is a call for the viewer to comprehend and identify what is hidden from himself in the basements of the unconscious, a reference to deep prehistoric fears. In our troubled times, the collective fear of the insecurity of the world around us shackles us from the inside,…

As soon as you see the first two exhibitions of Luma: James Barnor and Arthur Jafa: you understand: the scenography is sublime and the presentation perfect, Arles has entered contemporary art and we have just changed eras. The city breathes this change. Every day, houses, apartments, buildings change owners. This week, half of the city was under Airbnb status and 115 shops had turned into paying galleries. 300 meters from…

Architecture of the Contemplatives In the early morning, in Saint-Gervais, Paris becomes this silence where God makes his voice heard. They are twenty. Whatever their age, their studies, their origin, the same call unites them: to contemplate God in the city of men. They have chosen to devote half their time to prayer, morning, noon and evening, as well as to sororal life: solitary or community prayer; silent or sung…

Fabulous Faces of Classic Hollywood (published by ACC Art Books) contains over 200 photographs from the internationally renowned John Kobal Foundation, taken by leading Hollywood portrait photographers during the motion picture industry’s golden years of 1920 to 1960. In 2018, The Hood Museum at Dartmouth College in the USA acquired the foundation’s print archive so the images in this book had to be selected entirely from the little-seen negatives, long…

Atelier EXB's new monograph, Shima no Ama, Kusukasu Uraguchi, accompanies the exhibition presented this summer at the Rencontres d'Arles. For several centuries, ama – Japanese fishermen-divers – have nourished the Japanese imagination. These freedivers collect abalone, shells and algae, the sale of which ensures them financial autonomy within their household. Since the late 1950s and for more than thirty years, Kusukazu Uraguchi (1922-1988) photographed them in the Shima region, along…

More than 1,000 photographs and personal objects of the American master are preserved and exhibited…
Monday morning, an unforgettable event upon my arrival in Arles, for the first day of the prestigious professional week of the Rencontres Photographiques d'Arles. Coming out onto the Rue de la République, directly onto the Museon Arlaten, superbly restored by the department, surprise, surprise! A picket line, two corrugated cardboard panels, an empty entrance: the museum is on strike. The day is well chosen, it is the day of the…
More than seventy large-format photographs from thirty countries (which Mario Testino has visited over the last seven years): this is how A Beautiful World takes shape. A world that Testino has captured and analysed by taking his subjects out of their environment and bringing them to his portable studio from where their membership in a community becomes evident thanks to the clothes they wear, those of their own history. Testino's…
A project of the VII Foundation, MONUMENTAL is an exhibition that encourages dialogue on faith, national identity, power in politics, social cohesion, colonization, division and political violence through the symbolism of two emblematic religious buildings: Notre-Dame de Paris and The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Tomas van Houtryve and Ziyah Gafić, collaborating photographers at the VII Foundation, benefited from unprecedented access to these two religious structures between 2019 and…
"A photo must be paid for," the ADAGP reminds us with this striking communication campaign, which for the third consecutive year highlights the lack of recognition for the works of photographers. "We already pay you for the print version, we’re not going to pay you again for the web!" "No, this isn’t paid, but it will give you great visibility!" "It's just a small edit, you’re not going to charge…
