Art on the fly Presentation text borrowed from André Malraux: ... The role of museums in our relationship with works of art is so great that we find it hard to believe that they do not exist, that they never existed, where the civilization of modern Europe is or was unknown; and that they have existed in our country for less than two centuries. The 19th century lived off them;…

Lights I suggest you take a trip in search of lights in the Cantal department.

I came upon photography quite by chance. I was a young college student in Boston when a friend loaned me his Leica. The city had completely shut down that day during a blizzard. It was dead quiet with snow and ice casting a white pall over the entire city. Camera in hand, I wandered the city for the entire day. As I looked for things to photograph, I experienced an…

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. This is undoubtedly what the 3,000 French political deportees (communards) and Algerian Kabiles saw first. They will build roads, military buildings, their homes, walls of tears and pain. The penal colony will be in…

Crush & Pull Light’s immateriality challenges its makers today, analog versus digital, doubles our challenges. My projects begin with questions. “What is a 21st century photograph?” sees my answer in partnering 19th century photogram with 20th century Polaroid’s instant technology. “What do these two have in common?” and “Where do they overlap?” follows “How?” finds the negative. Briefly stated, the history of the ‘shadow’ in art is cited in the…

The exhibition Anton Corbijn: Favourite Darkness at Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien brings together around two hundred works from five decades, including Corbijn’s most famous photographs and a selection of his music videos since 1983, which rather have the look and feel of short auteur films.

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.…

Haverford College presents Eadweard Muybridge and Harold Edgerton: The Poetics of High-Speed Motion Photography, an exhibition of forty-eight photographic objects selected from the Fine Art Photography Collection. The exhibition’s centerpiece is works by Edward Muybridge (1830-1904) born in England and Harold Edgerton (1903-1990) born in Fremont, Nebraska. Both made important contributions to the art and science of photography that changed our fundamental understanding of reality. Photography means writing or drawing…

The Fundación MAPFRE in Madrid presents the first major retrospective dedicated to Japanese photographer Sakiko Nomura, revealing a body of work of rare sensitivity. Nocturnal landscapes, sensual bodies, faded flowers, urban or interior scenes... in the dim light of the exhibition hall, Sakiko Nomura's photographs emerge like a mirage, a fleeting and mysterious apparition. Although she is often associated with Nobuyoshi Araki, with whom she worked for several years, the…
