Among a few invitations by e-mail to traditional vernissages, an image immediately caught my attention on the invite of the Fontaine Obscure. What an interesting photograph, it jumps out at you, intoxicates your mind without knowing why.

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.

That is an interesting contrasting harmony between the 22 large format photographs by Francesco Zizola, composing the exhibition Mare Omnis, and the ancient halls of Palazzo Borghese in Rome where they are on stage at the Galleria terrena, the Galleria del Cembalo.

On the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, the Musée Nicéphore Niépce (1972) proposes to lift the veil on a dimension concealed from public view: the storerooms, the richness of its collections.

So, to make them sensitive to both diversity and number, to avoid repetition with the permanent route, the public is…
