Photo Elysée recently paid tribute to Deborah Turbeville, an American photographer recognised in the 1970s for her fashion photographs.

As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said: You can only see what you already know and understand. There are probably more incomprehensible than comprehensible phenomena between heaven and earth, and it is in this in-between, the known and the unknown that artists Roel Stels and Bart Ramakers operate. At first sight, no two artists are more different from each other. Roel is a maker, a constructor, a do-it-yourself engineer who starts with a…

"His photographs are beautiful, but it is not so much the beauty you see with your eyes that is the point. It is the fact that the beauty he has captured with his camera was not the same before he clicked the shutter and will not be the same after. That impermanence is the more profound beauty he seeks in his work."—Eikoh Hosoe Veritas Editions, the premier publishing house specializing in…

The word ordeal is used here in all its polysemy. The point is to submit to experience so as to test its qualities; the photographer’s proof print, the trials and tribulations of the traveller, the ordeal of entire peoples, the test of poetry that transcend the test of art. According to Lévi-Strauss, man can change his behaviour because he is a being of culture(s). Understanding and sensitivity structure his perception…
