Losing the North Diptychs I was born in northern France, where I lived from childhood until I was 19, in a small working-class town between slag heaps and glassworks. Sixteen years later, when my daughter was born, I returned with my camera to capture the faces of those who had never really known me as I was. My country, my family, our otherness. I look at them today with tenderness,…

Our beautiful Camargue, a treasure on borrowed time? (Here is an overview of my work with 15 photographs. Full report 60 photographs). "How beautiful is my Camargue". I've said this phrase so many times since my earliest childhood. As a native of the magnificent Gard department, my parents introduced me to it at a very early age. This land of the Petite Camargue is very dear to my heart... I…
Shipyards For a long time, I thought about how I could tackle this subject, which was close to my heart, but which I found so difficult to tackle in a rational and, if possible, original photographic study. In memory of all those thousands of workers involved in shipbuilding for several generations, who had lost their tools of the trade, with the direct consequence of losing their jobs to shipyard workers…

Quatre Instants de Nudité / Four Moments of Nudity I have been taking photos with models, mainly female, for a very long time. Why only photos of women? Surely because women are a great source of inspiration for me. Certainly also, for this book, I wanted to idealize everything that makes their differences, their beauty, their sweetness, their emotions, their power of seduction. I also appreciate this exchange, this trust, even this complicity…

Those looking for the infinite or transcendence are unlikely to find it during bus journeys or football matches, at the Pier Head ferry terminal of the Mersey River, or in the shipyard changing rooms. As for those looking for a deterministic logic, a sociological and political statement about England, they will find here and there visual information about a specific period and place. Tom Wood enables us to escape the…
Serge Assier: he is one of the last mythical figures of Mediterranean photography. Often ignored, sometimes mistreated like last year by a few ignorant town hall employees who wanted to throw away his archives, which fortunately the State and Heritage have recovered. Aware of the passage of time and always in search of a more than deserved recognition, this year he rented a place to show his images in Arles…
If there is no established definition, the notion of wild habitats, chosen by the artist to qualify the living places of the people she met, allows both to embrace the complexity of her approach and the heterogeneity of the situations observed. As opposed to the notion of home, which refers to the idea of a conventional house, that of savage testifies to a desire to be part of an unconventional…
This exhibition, whose title "the blind spot" refers to the Mariotte blind spot (the only place of the retina that does not see), is the culmination of the unprecedented research carried out by the photographer and visual artist Jacqueline Salmon on an object central and yet very absent from research in Art History: the perizonium. Attached to the figure of Christ, this loincloth is both a veil of modesty, a…
The selfie is a photographic genre within everyone's reach. Its vocation is to talk about oneself in the best possible circumstances. The opposite would be strange. However, it only shows an apparent truth where staging occupies a deceptive place. The purpose of this series is to go against usage, where it is impossible to cheat. The women represented appear naked, without artifice, lying on their sofa. They choose their positions…
Selected by Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) at the end of his life, the photographs in the exhibition L'expérience du paysage(The Landscape Experience) testify to the artist's approach to what is not simply a setting to observe human being, but a subject in its own right. Each of these images, taken between the 1930s and the 1990s in Europe, Asia and America, illustrates the construction of landscape by the photographer, whether natural…
From the North Sea to the Mediterranean, it is an iodized breath that crosses the Galerie Roger-Viollet thanks to an unpublished series of panoramic and stereoscopic colored photographs. These images, taken from 1860 until the early 1900s, depict a very different perception of the sea whether you are a summer holidaymaker in Nice or a shrimp fisherman in Calais. At that time, in the minds of most people, the French…

In his own words, the South African photographer Lindokuhle Sobekwa (Johannesburg, 1995) ‘looks inward’ through his camera at the country of his ancestors, the Eastern Cape. Sobekwa’s work can be read as an autobiographical narrative on the border between reality and fiction. The mysterious disappearance of his sister Ziyanda, the subject of the series I carry her photo with me, is at the heart of his work on show at…
