Kaleidoscarbres Long fascinated by bare trees that desperately stretch their bends towards the sky in an attempt to catch a few rays of sunshine to warm up in winter, I photographed them aimlessly. Until, through a play of symmetries, a lacemaker turns it into a collection of astonishing arabesques as in a kaleidoscope. https://photalmo.fr

Objectification As an artist I like to explore different mediums. Photography has allowed to make pictures using a wide range of materials. The pictures appear to be portraits with out directly photographing the person. I play with this concept finding that I could create a different sort of portrait then just photographing the person alone. www.dareuc.net
Roman holiday August. With the temperature and humidity rising at unsustainable levels, the only chance of survival for people living in Rome, far from exotic destinations, is to grab a few square meters either on the rare beaches accessible without paying on the nearby coast or the brand-new city beach carved out of the Tiber's mud. From Ostia to Anzio, the ritual repeats: umbrellas, deckchairs, towels everywhere; people drying themselves…

Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Cogitations. The slippery slope of the descent into hell of Photography and those who serve it becomes a soapy slide on a direct highway to limbo. As always, in all the many misfortunes of photography that have followed one another for twenty years, the executioners, the protagonists, sell us traps covered in good intentions. No one evaluates the scope and consequences of rushing into these paths which,…

I have great admiration for Diane Dufour. With LE BAL, successfully transforming Chez Isis, a prostitute bar and a brothel that became a ruined betting place into one of the most important places in world photography is always a constant delight. And yet, her programming is always demanding. Currently, she presents: Yasuhiro Ishimoto. We dedicate this day to him. Jean-Jacques Naudet Yasuhiro Ishimoto, a destiny between two countries -…
Yasuhiro Ishimoto - Chicago, the New Bauhaus by László Moholy-Nagy and Harry Callahan - By Agathe Cancellieri “The teaching at the New Bauhaus (ID) was very unorthodox. Before we could even pick up a camera, we were taught drawing from A to Z, starting with very simple sketches. Day after day, we were trained to master points, lines, surface texture and light, so much so that I wondered when I…
Yasuhiro Ishimoto - Doors - By Agathe Cancellieri “…As the language of photographic expression has developed, the emphasis on the meaning of a photograph has slipped – slipped from what the world looks like to how we see the world and what we want to tell of the world.” - Aaron Siskind Ishimoto, through the documentary approach, seeked to capture the formal power of an image and the graphic dimension…
Yasuhiro Ishimoto - Katsura, 17th century imperial villa with “Mondrianesque” motifs - By Yasufumi Nakamori “I found the basic elements of Chicago architecture in Katsura. It was by contemplating the pure geometry of Mies van der Rohe’s buildings in Chicago that my vocation was revealed. What an emotion to find in the classical architecture of my country of origin, not only reminders of modernist architecture, but its very source…” -…
Ishimoto and the Japanese photographic scene of the 1950s - By Diane Dufour At the beginning of the 1950s, the strangeness of Ishimoto's images, devoid of journalistic aim, collided head-on with social realism, the dominant mode of post-war Japanese photography. The shock produced by Ishimoto's images on his contemporaries is perceptible in this testimony from Ikko Tanaka (artistic director of Approach magazine): "Who could have forgotten the considerable impact that…
Yasuhiro Ishimoto - Moment - By Mei Asakura “…Yasuhiro Ishimoto is visually bilingual: Japanese in his culture, Eastern in his way of seeing and Western in his training at the Chicago Institute of Design (contemporary center of the Bauhaus tradition), he speaks English with a German accent.” - Minor White In the late 1980s, Ishimoto began his series “Toki” [Moment], whose working title throughout the years of filming was utsuroi…
Yasuhiro Ishimoto - A scenography at LE BAL under influence - By Cyril Delhomme “The photographs unfold with minimalist restraint in a very beautiful scenography in the form of a maze on two floors. A string of legs in contrapposto, framed in such a way as to extract the textures of the skin and the shapes of the flesh like patterns. [...] However, the exhibition does not fall into the…
