Release by Éditions Complicités of Rolwaling, une vallée sacrée en Himalaya by Matthieu Alexandre. "A tsunami in the mountains". This is the title of the dispatch that motivated the two authors to go and meet the Sherpa community of the Rolwaling valley, neighboring Everest, threatened by the rupture of Tsho Rolpa, the most dangerous glacial lake in the Himalayas perched at 4580 meters. Threatened certainly, but surprisingly confident nonetheless... …

Magic Hats I'm particularly fond of autumn, those suspended moments when the light is magical. The undergrowth behind my house is a magical place. It's like stepping into another world, the world of elves and fairies. That's when I meet my favorite creatures, those magicians of the living world, the mushrooms. Without them, neither trees, forests nor human beings could exist. These "magic hats" are in fact the submerged part…

Ael Pagny : Photo as a Reflex From a very young age, Ael Pagny was captivated by the unique landscapes of Patagonia where she spent a large part of her childhood, and felt in total communion with the great spaces.

His artistic journey began with painting, which then naturally gave rise to his photographic images. In these images, the artist makes his experience with art his own, acquiring and elaborating it according to a personal perspective, and…

Happy birthday Ralph! https://www.pacicontemporary.com/en/artist/gibson-ralph/ "I’m interested in producing truncated shapes in proportion to the frame and composition, shapes that are preferably luminous.

Quiet Amid the Turmoil Yes, New York City is fast, busy and noisy. Nonetheless, one can find many and varied places in which to discuss, contemplate and play.
Vanishing Venice Different styles coexist in the architecture of this seductive city: Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque. The foggy atmosphere that reigns there leads us to observe how the initial stylistic identity often fades, through conservative stratification, into other forms, changing the original features of the architecture and defining new identities. The “Reappearing Venice” project chooses buildings portrayed with an unusual perspective and chromatic tones as subjects, chosen regardless of the…
Inner world "Man is not this external being who builds his sandcastle on an abandoned beach. He is the most sensitive, most vital part of the living Universe; it is to him that nature whispers its most constant desires, its most buried secrets. A reversal of perspective then takes place. While man becomes the interior of the landscape, the latter becomes the interior landscape of man." Freely inspired by this…
Dead Leaves An anthotype is an image created from photosensitive substances from plants. I use linden leaves, their shape being the one that looks like the most to my face and body. I expose them to the sun for several hours; its light will mark the exposed parts and reveal the image. It is a reflection on the passing of time and the fear of growing old. I want to…
Los Espejos (2023-2024) The series is a close inspection of the portraiture elements of classic fashion photography. Shot only on film, mostly in monochrome. Participants are a mix of professional models and ordinary people; those with a sense of or curiosity as to what form of portrait may be painted with the physique as the brush. Multiple examples represent a kind of alter ego for myself, hence the title "Los…
On the "Road of Bones" We are in Siberia, not far from the Pole of Cold. It is winter and it snows, the longer the harder. The roads are, if not icy, then drifted with snow. The trucks have long since given up fighting the snow and are parked on the side of the road, snowed in. We are sitting in a UAZ 452, the indestructible Russian 4wd minibus, and…

His name: Mehdi Sotot. His exhibition: Drag The Line is on until February 20th. He introduces himself like this. I come from the suburbs of Saint-Denis in the Ile de France, where my reputation has more than once crossed borders for bad reasons. I have always felt excluded from society as a person coming from a city where the majority of inhabitants remain invisible in order to make way for…
The list of filmmakers who have occasionally but diligently ventured into still images is not that long. David Lynch was a jack-of-all-trades, with photos of abandoned factories, voluptuous female nudes, serial snowmen and image manipulation. Wim Wenders explored Australian and American landscapes, told visual stories during his many travels and did a lot of Polaroid photography. Abbas Kiarostami, who started out as a painter and graphic designer, exhibited his contemplative…

Our collaborator Jean Loh has a deep friendship and admiration for Ian Berry, one of the last Magnum veterans. So for his 91st birthday, he sent us this: When the Fedex man rung at my door and handed me a parcel I wondered aloud who’d sent me a belated Christmas present?
