Alcatraz Since 2020 I’ve visited Alcatraz - the former prison island in San Francisco Bay – to reflect on pandemic-era themes of isolation, confinement, and social control. Alcatraz is Spanish for a type of bird. We say “free as a bird,” but some birds live in cages. Sometimes they are jailbirds. Alcatraz Island, whose name evokes freedom, has become synonymous not with the bird but with the cage. Although the old penitentiary’s…

That was 4 years ago! Some symbolic photos signed Thierry Bouët and accompanied by this text: The circumstances were so exceptional that a photographer could not escape a precious visual testimony. Not being on an equal footing with my press colleagues circulating freely, I decided on another, less academic, method of operation. It is strictly prohibited to fly a drone over a built-up area. However, this was the only way…
In 1996, rock band The Afghan Whigs released their album Black Love, a musical opus that changed the lives of many of the group’s loyal followers. The well-known lore that a film would accompany the record never came to fruition, leaving devotees to wonder what such a visual accompaniment might have looked like. There Is No Light at the End of the Tunnel Because the Tunnel Is Made of Light…

Rememory For the past 9 years I have witnessed an invisible change in my mother and when verbal language was powerless and lost, we were connected through a photograph. It became an act of love and an attempt to keep the memory and intimacy with each other from fading into oblivion. The series of works presented covers the time of the inner experience of war at the same time as…

Trees in Lisette Mode Lisette is part of my vintage doll family. She has a little orange camera (a toy).

She's the coolest doll photographer I know, and she adores trees! www.instagram.com/myrtheciancia/
Forgotten by Fashion My work has been best described as GLAMORIZING NORMALCY I chose to question why in 2024 societies beauty ideal is still so miniscule and often near unattainable, why fashion photography insists on a certain sameness and leaves so many OUT. So here we see burn and cancer survivors, transgender, bearded lady, organ transplant and amputees and many more... Enjoy! http://www.volup2.com

I always thought that my books were the hidden face of my convictions or my rejections — that they represented the most vigorous and condensed expression of my art. (Ed Ruscha, excerpt from the book) Since our meeting in 2005 in Santa Fe, New Mexico […], I dreamed of paying tribute to Ed Ruscha, this artist who spent his life playing with words and images.
