I moved shortly after, and another…

Seen on the Corridor Éléphant website this portfolio by Bruno Dumas. He writes : How to explain, or even develop meaning in a speech where just the second is the most important.

This is the twentieth dialogue in the Ettore Molinario Collection. It is a tribute to the light of the stars, a light to which photography, Promethean by nature, has felt attracted since its origins, as the vault of heaven by John Franklin-Adams reminds us. Next to it, lighting up the sky of our desire, is another star, Marilyn Monroe, still named Norma Jean in Earl Moran’s portrait. Beautiful lights to…

In the spring of 2022, two Parisian exhibitions dialogued, intensely, without those in charge (artist, curator, gallery owner, etc.) perhaps being aware of it.

Some time later, Sylvie Matton sent us this text. It's great and we're publishing it today. JJN A mesh of texts, objects…

This is a really a nice piece of work. 534 photographs in this Breton "bible" of heritage photography. I picked 34 of them for you, somewhat at random from the different parts of the book. You have 500 left to discover, relive, challenge. The text supports this very rich iconography to allow those who can neither know nor imagine that: "...in those days...". How many heritage funds have been destroyed…
