Interview by Corridor Éléphant
CORRIDOR ÉLÉPHANT was founded in 2012 by a group of a dozen people (photographers, journalists, authors, artists). This online magazine, like the quarterly paper NIEPCEBOOK born at the end of 2015, has as its objective showing and promoting contemporary photography, that which testifies to our present, that which is hardly shown, little or not published despite its quality whatever its origin in the world. Since 2016 CORRIDOR ÉLÉPHANT has also been a small publishing house dedicated to contemporary photography. It publishes books in participatory limited editions, numbered and signed by their authors.
