The French photographer Camille Brasselet stages her photographs as if they were paintings and makes her models characters in a story without beginning or end. In her soft-color compositions with flat lighting, out-of-frame objects become protagonists in their own right. That which is not shown becomes the irreducible element of mystery within the banality of everyday life. Camille Brasselet's photographs are similar to the first lines of a script: a…

The Centre de la photographie de Mougins presents an exhibition by Anna Niskanen: Point sublime. By using traditional photographic techniques, we try, while it is still possible, to resist the standardization of prints, a consequence of digital techniques. A photographic print by its uniqueness is more than an artisanal refuge, it affirms a principle of life, a way of paying homage to nature, a refusal of the inevitable ecological peril.…
