There are various ways of organising photography archives: alphabetically, thematically, or date of capture. Not so at the Archive of Modern Conflict in Holland Park in London. The 8 million plus images (and there could be many more) are filed according to the date of acquisition, with the archive function- ing almost as a diary, a library of the imagination in the Borgesian sense, or Situationist drifts. Of all the…

Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Chronicle The doors of Paris Photo, vintage 2022, have just closed. With my accreditation: “press” in hand, I was able to access the so-called VIP day on Wednesday. Incidentally, it should be noted that the “Very Very VIPs” had already been invited the day before by a very great American international bank, which was - this year - the leader of the sponsors for this shining event.…

Initiated at the end of the 1970s, at a time when artistic photography was almost exclusively a matter of black and white, the “Photocolore” series is particularly revealing of the practice of John Batho, an artist born in 1939. Very early, from 1963 , the choice of color seems obvious to him. In the photographs he takes of his close environment, he isolates everyday objects on a colored background to…
Le Point du Jour, art center and publisher in Cherbourg presents an exhibition and a book by Maxence Rifflet entitled: Nos Prisons (Our Prisons). Nos prisons is the result of work carried out over three years by Maxence Rifflet with prisoners from seven French prisons.

To dive a little deeper into her fantastical world and learn more about the…
As in many fields of art history, the work of women photographers has often been overlooked, and few of their names are now widely recognized. However, women were closely involved in all major photography movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, and have used the camera as an extraordinary tool for emancipation and experimentation. These are artists who never stopped documenting, questioning and transforming the world, breaking down social boundaries,…
Danziger Gallery L.A. presents the first showing of Tod Papageorge’s photographs taken in the late seventies and early eighties of Los Angeles beachgoers. An early participant in the American school of street photography Tod Papageorge’s path has taken him from the streets of New York to the capitals of Europe, from black and white to color, and from small to mid-sized cameras. Central to his art (if not his life)…
Jean-Christophe Béchet has been pursuing for several decades a photographic work characterized by a photograph taken in the street, on the go, or what is called Street photography whose name has been perpetuated in the American photographic tradition as a genre. In this new book, he revisits photographs taken throughout his career which particularly questions the different situations of this type of photography. He wishes through a hundred selected photographs…
Staley-Wise Gallery presents their new exhibition Art + Fashion in those words : “Sculpture and painting have always inspired photographers, presenting a challenge and an opportunity for a dialogue between artists – sometimes reverential and sometimes provocative. This exhibition demonstrates how the influence of other artistic mediums has given these photographs a broader cultural context well beyond fashion.” Among the photographers presented are : Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Patrick Demarchelier, Abe Frajndlich,…
As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said: You can only see what you already know and understand. There are probably more incomprehensible than comprehensible phenomena between heaven and earth, and it is in this in-between, the known and the unknown that artists Roel Stels and Bart Ramakers operate. At first sight, no two artists are more different from each other. Roel is a maker, a constructor, a do-it-yourself engineer who starts with a…
The exhibition presents James Welling's most recent series Personae, which relates to his ongoing series Cento that focuses on sculptures and artifacts from the Mediterranean region. In these new works, Welling reanimates images from Greek and Roman busts using elements drawn from historical artworks including Old Master paintings to Impressionist works. The series continues Welling's project to focus on the history of photography and construction of images themselves, something he…
Harry Benson : Being in the right place at the right time!

He has captured some of the world's most iconic events and people from the…
The exhibition proposes to retrace the history of the beginnings of the cultural and institutional recognition of color photography, from the end of the 1970s until its assimilation and generalization during the 1980s. A brief and little-known period is thus explored: when artistic color photography reached the walls of museums and galleries previously reserved for black and white (it generally began in 1976 with the exhibitions of William Eggleston and…
"His photographs are beautiful, but it is not so much the beauty you see with your eyes that is the point. It is the fact that the beauty he has captured with his camera was not the same before he clicked the shutter and will not be the same after. That impermanence is the more profound beauty he seeks in his work."—Eikoh Hosoe Veritas Editions, the premier publishing house specializing in…
Thomas Hoepker was 27 years old when he set out on his ambitious journey across the United States—one that took him from coast to coast and back again over the course of three months and resulted in thousands of photos. The year was 1963 and Hoepker had been commissioned by the German magazine Kristall to “discover” America through his camera. The photo reportages he made, published in five issues of…
The word ordeal is used here in all its polysemy. The point is to submit to experience so as to test its qualities; the photographer’s proof print, the trials and tribulations of the traveller, the ordeal of entire peoples, the test of poetry that transcend the test of art. According to Lévi-Strauss, man can change his behaviour because he is a being of culture(s). Understanding and sensitivity structure his perception…
