Highway 40 Quebec-Montreal Here are 15 photos from a series of 32 "chronicling" a trip from Quebec City to Montreal on Highway 40 at sunset. I took advantage of the fact that I wasn't the driver to photograph the landscape along the highway, using relatively slow exposure times to obtain deliberate abstractions. The effect varies according to the nature, variety and distance of the vegetation that borders it, but also…

Masks Having discovered Venice outside of the carnival festivities, I toured the workshops and boutiques of the artisans, the real ones who make things made in Venice. Whether they are made of leather, wood, plaster, papier-mâché, painted, decorated with stones, jewels or feathers, they are true works of art. A long time ago the main function of the mask was to preserve anonymity, allowing its owner to play a role…
Paths My paths are a starting point. They are a collection of the fascination I feel when I discover them... Paths hide a thousand possibilities; they can open up a new path or close another. Paths get lost or they find each other again. There are those who no longer offer a way out, those who are a birth, those who destroy themselves, and those who discover a new heaven.…

Mercurial Alchemists believe in the ultimate unity of matter and spirit; the direct correlation that exists between the tangible physical world (the Body) and the immaterial realm of consciousness (the Soul). To them, the human Mind is the special place in the cosmos that stands in between the two, and is thus able to conceive them not as separate, but rather as parallels on different dimensions. As Above, So Below:…

In a country where there is no fixed image training, the festival…

Wars, the Suez crisis, the events of May 68, the energy crisis of 1973 and 1979… a look back at the times when our petrol pumps ran dry. Discover the selection of the Roger-Viollet Agency. Agence Roger-Viollet 6, rue de Seine 75006 Paris www.roger-viollet.fr
Françoise Hardy and the Eiffel Tower. After all, I really liked Paris. I had lived my good years there, those of more or less deserved success, years of loves that were light with definitive oaths, immortal friendships, and especially those where all the chances smiled on me. A divorce later, I left to live in the United States, an old childhood dream; I still believed in the myth of the…

His published photos on the front page of Paris Match allowed him to make a name for himself.…
Alien Love brings together two series by photographer Sacha Goldberger: I want to believe and Extra Not So Terrestre. In the first, Sacha invites us to look for a way to break free and escape our condition and our immobility. The 23 black & white silver photographs testify to the loneliness of an alien after the end of a world, lost on a planet where drought has destroyed everything and…
Photography is often an attempt, perhaps the last, to make sense of things, to recompose them through a creative discipline. It represents the place where, at that precise moment, disorder comes to a halt, after the invasion of desire or the pain of loss. It was Jacques Lacan who showed us the difference between reality and what is real. In the ordinary flow of reality, beautiful or ugly, there is…
Stephan Vanfleteren (1969) began his career at the newly founded newspaper De Morgen, which at the time was the embodiment of the new journalism. Many pages were devoted to images and photographers like Vanfleteren gave the paper its own outlook. He quickly became one of the best-known image-makers, with empathetic and thoughtful black-and-white photography, with a sense of nuance and a focus on the human being, with a touch of…
It is a book by John Robert Rodrigues. Its title: An Affair of Flowers. The publisher Goff Books. The introduction is astonishing, it begins like this: Plants bear flowers for one reason only: Sex. Colorful petals encircle hidden sexual organs, pollen-containing anthers and ovules (future seeds) within fleshy ovaries. Flowers are plant sexual signposts, living billboards, advertising their sweet nectar droplets and nutritious pollen for their visitors. Sniffing a flower…
Rachel Uffner Gallery presents Leaning In, the first solo exhibition at the gallery by artist Sheree Hovsepian. Following her inclusion earlier this year in the 59th Venice Biennale, Hovsepian continues her ongoing investigation into the process of photography and its conceptual implications while also exhibiting works in other mediums, such as works on paper and figurative sculptures, for the first time. In their varied forms of expression and the cross-referential…
Far from heroic figures, of great men and great women, the memory of the 20th century is communicated to our hearts more favorably by the documents of private life, the traces of intimate or family memories than through the evocations of great history. . In Les Années, Annie Ernaux lists the marks of passing time, commenting on old photographs on which personal and collective stories are projected, intertwined. It is…
The striking black and white photographs of American photographer Diane Arbus (1923–1971) revolutionized portraiture because of their style and variety of subjects. Arbus, whose shots were taken, for the most part, in New York and its surroundings, selected her subjects couples, children, nudists, suburban families and circus artists, among others – for their singularity. Diane Arbus: Photographs, 1956-1971 brings together some 90 photographs by the artist carefully selected from 522 gelatin…
MFA Boston presents unprecedented exhibition exploring Life magazine’s innovative use of photography. In the period from the Great Depression to the Vietnam War, the majority of photographs printed and consumed in the U.S. appeared on the pages of illustrated magazines. Among them, Life—published weekly from 1936 to 1972—was both extraordinarily popular and visually revolutionary. Estimates for pass-along readership—the number of people who shared each copy of Life in spaces like waiting rooms and…
Synonymous with the art of travel since 1854, Louis Vuitton continues to add titles to its "Fashion Eye" collection. Each book evokes a city, a region or a country, seen through the eyes of a photographer. Kilamba by photographer Laura Bonnefous brilliantly shows an Angolan dormitory town with architecture as colorful as it is confusing. The essence of an editorial collection is to be on the long term. Without the…
A few months ago, I received the latest work of Gosette Lubondo. It's superb, superb for the result obtained, superb for the evolution of her work. This contemporary creator operates from an increasingly perfect mastery of her tools of expression. Her research remains very oriented on historical paths and the gap that is widening between the temporal obsolescence of memory and the permanence of transmission. The representativeness of her photographic work…
New York City was empty in the first few days of the pandemic, but its bones have never been documented in such a manner before Jessica Lange’s masterful eye. Acclaimed actor and photographer Jessica Lange embraced the onslaught of the pandemic and the initial lockdown in New York City in a remarkably intimate and engaging way: having been tempted to read French philosopher Guy Debord’s landmark text, Theory of the Dérive,…
