On the walls of Naples Napoli is an invitation to look, to discover, to observe. Streets and alleys, like souls, offer their drawings, their letters, jets of words, most often ignored by passers-by. I can't resist the urge to take them with me to the sister city, Marseille.

At the gates of Paradise, Hell The Isle of Pins, 100 kilometers southeast of Nouméa (New Caledonia), is nicknamed the “island closest to paradise”, tropical vegetation, beaches of fine white sand, the blue of the lagoon.

A collection can have a lot to do with the indeterminacy principle. And you might say: what does a quantum physics formula have to do with a collection of photographs? It has much to do with it. Just like scuba diving in the darkness of caves and the study of the self and of one's identity has. A collection of photographs is much more complex than a collection of images.…

The Fundación MAPFRE in Madrid presents the first major retrospective dedicated to Japanese photographer Sakiko Nomura, revealing a body of work of rare sensitivity.
