This is the most unusual text received this week. It is by Daniel Dytrych, the author of these photos! Does anything else release stress and problems in life more than an outdoor swim in the warm sun? My partner embraced an empty pool in Lanzarote. We have been together for ten years and I have never seen her enjoy being underwater, ever! I guess we learn something new about our…

Among a few invitations by e-mail to traditional vernissages, an image immediately caught my attention on the invite of the Fontaine Obscure. What an interesting photograph, it jumps out at you, intoxicates your mind without knowing why. Well almost, because after the first feeling and emotion, the inquisitive eye will look for other images of the series which it dissects and analyzes. It is this curiosity, a little useless; but,…
An appreciation of Helga Paris’s photography reached a wider audience than ever before with a 2019 major retrospective in Berlin, the city where she lived and worked. An exhibition at Kicken Berlin at the end of the following year confirmed the realization that Helga Paris’s work was of considerable and intrinsic interest. Now, two books of her portrait photography in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) make clear that the enduring…
Beauty, complexity and cruelty Born in 1948 in Toulouse, Philippe Blache has always seen his mother paint, and this is how he became familiar with the world of art. But very early on it was photography that attracted him, and more particularly the work of the photographer Edward Weston. Equipped with a 24x36 Miranda, he developed his films in the kitchen and when the day was over, it was the…

What drives artists when they leave school? Does an artist born in the 3rd millennium see his role in society differently? What are the challenges of starting a career for an artist? These are some of the questions that 100% L’Expo asks each year by opening the Grande Halle de la Villette to young artists from French art schools. Here is the work of Daria Svertilova, presented by her text.…
La Villette presents 100% L’Expo, a panorama of young creation. Here is the work of Zoé Chauvet, presented by her text. Altær is a photographic project born from the desire to portray people who question their gender and their relationship to identity. On this path, my friends and the people I encountered gradually transformed into a sensitive archive intended to (re)give importance to the fluidity of bodies and their stories.…
Thierry Maindrault’s Monthly Chronicle With the early arrival of spring, I suggest this time to get away from the incongruous behaviour of the exponential world of Photography. If, for a change, we talked a little about photography, about the photographic image, that goes without saying. The photographic image boils down to a perception of sight based on the natural impact of light. It does not matter whether it comes from…

So you have photographers who cherish the moment, decisive or otherwise. In their judgement, the maker must always be alert for what is momentarily worth capturing. On the other end of the spectrum, you have the other image-maker; he or she who swears by control. And some among them go very far - Gregory Crewdson e.g. mobilises a small army of collaborators and realises his scenes like a film director.…
The photographs of Dick Blau. it is not often that we have the opportunity to explore a forty-year endeavor by a single photographer. Thicker Than Water exhibits the 40 plus year inquiry by Dick Blau into his relationship to family and himself. This, for me, is the crux of the work: can relationships be photographed or shared? Blau is public with his work, he is sharing, he is writing his…

Zoème exhibits the work of André Mérian with the exhibition 1984-1987, Portraits Pont-Aven. In 1984, André Mérian settled as a photographer in Pont-Aven, Brittany. In the Aven workshop, he produced identity pictures and commissioned portraits. The protocol was always the same: the model posed in front of a neutral background and photographed in medium format in natural light. Little by little the idea arose of diverting these commissioned images to…
In a new photobook published by Thames & Hudson, Peter van Agtmael shares a harrowing personal account of the post-9/11 era, at war and at home. "Sometimes I felt like a real bastard to be taking pictures, but it felt worse when I hesitated and let a powerful moment pass, a record of the war lost forever," writes Peter van Agtmael in his new photobook, Look at the U.S.A.: A Diary…
I’ve been thinking about the space between pictures of everyday life and the pictures that venture beyond. Scot Sothern and John Matkowsky think about these things too, Scot as a photographer/writer/provocateur and John as a publisher of books that rub up against the question of what’s okay to show the world, and what’s on the other side. In many people there is an appetite for things society officially disapproves of. Google…
