Fragility Road Steps of Melancholy I travelled between space and time, between touch and smell, between sight and hearing. Everything was open, closed in my house. The rust-coloured air smells of antiquity. Of an antique that, you feel, belongs to you. Of an antique that speaks to you. That colour speaks to you. Roots present in things appear to you in the flow of views and perspectives. Visions of feeling…

Being: I am in, I found you I became who I was afraid of becoming. A being with a social form as its only identity.

The relationship between dance and fashion began in the Renaissance period, where social dancing echoed society's values. Historically, around the 1830s-1840s Romantic era, ballerinas were becoming the epitome of beauty. Ballerinas were idealized and regarded as celebrities. Today fashion models are more so subject to these standards. Around the same time, ballroom dance culture emerged, beginning with the waltz. Social developments of the time were reflected through the movements, but…

The picture taken, their work is done." - Louis Stettner Over the course of his eight-decade career, Louis Stettner created a singular approach to photographing everyday life. Born in Brooklyn in 1922, Stettner began working as a photographer in the 1930s…
An angel exalted by the fire of androgynous desire disguise the being to avoid the worst: naked the truth of the genre cries it out because a doubt remains. Every king crumbles behind his ghost. The queen goes astray in the same way. The first must be made up as an Elizabethan whore and the second as a mystery. Confused at having lost his way among men, the being can…

Today, opening at the Fondation Manuel Rivera-Ortiz. The exhibition presented by FOTOHAUS and curated by Marc Barbey follows Amin El Dib’s unique path of brutal deconstruction in his images.
