Mind's Eye / Galerie Adrian Bondy presents the exhibition Présences by Nacho Gómez Sales. The photographer introduces his work as follow.

On the other hand, alongside this analytical aspect, there is…

Today I invite you to return to the beginning of my tests and research into alternative developers. In fact, a year ago, I carried out my first processings in this type of developer. I started by using old expired black and white and color film. I had carefully inherited them from my photographer father, telling me that these emulsions could perhaps be useful to me later. Forty years have passed,…

Modern photographic reinterpretation My photographic reinterpretation of classical works of art represents a tribute to famous painters such as Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Rubens and other admirables. When remaking a painting, there is the possibility of creatively projecting new concepts, new information that give new meaning to the scene and make us observe and extract a new discourse. Each generation attributes new meanings to art and needs to retake the entire historical…
Renée Jacobs : A free woman A former American lawyer specializing in civil rights and constitutional litigation, Renée Jacobs is now well known for her nude photographs of women - her favorite subject - and is thus fulfilling a childhood dream. Atypical in her approach, her reconversion quickly earned her the International Photography Award (IPA) in 2008. While working as a photojournalist for The New York Times and the Philadelphia…

Alien Love brings together two series by photographer Sacha Goldberger: I want to believe and Extra Not So Terrestre. In the first, Sacha invites us to look for a way to break free and escape our condition and our immobility. The 23 black & white silver photographs testify to the loneliness of an alien after the end of a world, lost on a planet where drought has destroyed everything and…
Photography is often an attempt, perhaps the last, to make sense of things, to recompose them through a creative discipline. It represents the place where, at that precise moment, disorder comes to a halt, after the invasion of desire or the pain of loss. It was Jacques Lacan who showed us the difference between reality and what is real. In the ordinary flow of reality, beautiful or ugly, there is…
Stephan Vanfleteren (1969) began his career at the newly founded newspaper De Morgen, which at the time was the embodiment of the new journalism. Many pages were devoted to images and photographers like Vanfleteren gave the paper its own outlook. He quickly became one of the best-known image-makers, with empathetic and thoughtful black-and-white photography, with a sense of nuance and a focus on the human being, with a touch of…
It is a book by John Robert Rodrigues. Its title: An Affair of Flowers. The publisher Goff Books. The introduction is astonishing, it begins like this: Plants bear flowers for one reason only: Sex. Colorful petals encircle hidden sexual organs, pollen-containing anthers and ovules (future seeds) within fleshy ovaries. Flowers are plant sexual signposts, living billboards, advertising their sweet nectar droplets and nutritious pollen for their visitors. Sniffing a flower…
Rachel Uffner Gallery presents Leaning In, the first solo exhibition at the gallery by artist Sheree Hovsepian. Following her inclusion earlier this year in the 59th Venice Biennale, Hovsepian continues her ongoing investigation into the process of photography and its conceptual implications while also exhibiting works in other mediums, such as works on paper and figurative sculptures, for the first time. In their varied forms of expression and the cross-referential…
Far from heroic figures, of great men and great women, the memory of the 20th century is communicated to our hearts more favorably by the documents of private life, the traces of intimate or family memories than through the evocations of great history. . In Les Années, Annie Ernaux lists the marks of passing time, commenting on old photographs on which personal and collective stories are projected, intertwined. It is…
The striking black and white photographs of American photographer Diane Arbus (1923–1971) revolutionized portraiture because of their style and variety of subjects. Arbus, whose shots were taken, for the most part, in New York and its surroundings, selected her subjects couples, children, nudists, suburban families and circus artists, among others – for their singularity. Diane Arbus: Photographs, 1956-1971 brings together some 90 photographs by the artist carefully selected from 522 gelatin…
MFA Boston presents unprecedented exhibition exploring Life magazine’s innovative use of photography. In the period from the Great Depression to the Vietnam War, the majority of photographs printed and consumed in the U.S. appeared on the pages of illustrated magazines. Among them, Life—published weekly from 1936 to 1972—was both extraordinarily popular and visually revolutionary. Estimates for pass-along readership—the number of people who shared each copy of Life in spaces like waiting rooms and…
Synonymous with the art of travel since 1854, Louis Vuitton continues to add titles to its "Fashion Eye" collection. Each book evokes a city, a region or a country, seen through the eyes of a photographer. Kilamba by photographer Laura Bonnefous brilliantly shows an Angolan dormitory town with architecture as colorful as it is confusing. The essence of an editorial collection is to be on the long term. Without the…
A few months ago, I received the latest work of Gosette Lubondo. It's superb, superb for the result obtained, superb for the evolution of her work. This contemporary creator operates from an increasingly perfect mastery of her tools of expression. Her research remains very oriented on historical paths and the gap that is widening between the temporal obsolescence of memory and the permanence of transmission. The representativeness of her photographic work…
New York City was empty in the first few days of the pandemic, but its bones have never been documented in such a manner before Jessica Lange’s masterful eye. Acclaimed actor and photographer Jessica Lange embraced the onslaught of the pandemic and the initial lockdown in New York City in a remarkably intimate and engaging way: having been tempted to read French philosopher Guy Debord’s landmark text, Theory of the Dérive,…
Maryam Mahdavi : Image as a reflection of imagination. Interior designer, architect, stylist, and scenographer, Maryam Mahdavi defines herself as a dresser of houses. Full of paradoxes, she loves the politically incorrect and everything that is whimsical. Her universe is often colorful, and she dares to mix and match, giving an identity and a real signature to her creations. She loves the carefree provocation and the appearance of beauty, and…

Didier Brousse her agent who represents her through his gallery Camera Obscura wrote these few words: “Faraway but so near Ethiopia, India, Japan… It seems that her photography unfolds only in a state of weightlessness, of openness to the world offered by these privileged moments when one suddenly finds oneself immersed in a daily…
