Commuter Motions Traveling from the industrial town of Easton, Pennsylvania, through sparsely populated western New Jersey, and into the cacophony of New York City, Commuter Motions is a photography series that develops from the experiential capture of an eighty-mile commute. By opposing the usual fixity of photography, the series attempts to capture the energy and movement of that commute using an almost Bergsonian approach, which, through time-lapse, builds images from…

The chiaroscuro, the mood of the moment, the place of fire, everything is conducive to evocation. The curve is the muse, the light the mistress, the black the revealer. The framing, the black and white then the color and finally the gradient towards the monochrome are a photographed…
This was the solo show at Paci contemporary gallery for the modern art fair in Milan, Miart Milano, which took place this weekend.

Photography had a pope at that time: John Szarkowski, the director of the photography department at MoMA. Leslie called him an old arthritic tap dancer. We all…

Jean-Philippe Charbonnier is often described as an adventurer, an intrepid reporter looking for new horizons, traveling the world for the monthly magazine Réalités, for which he was employed since 1950. However, he spent a lot of time photographing his own country, from Roubaix to Arles, passing through the Creuse and Paris, his hometown. Fascinated by his contemporaries, whether they were close or unknown to him, he used to say: “Exoticism…
At Paris Photo 2022, I turned a corner and was caught by a wall of small format prints in dark sepia tone, those were genuine gelatin silver prints.

One image in particular attracted my attention: did this Jesus on the crucifix lose his arm after blocking…

During the 2020 pandemic-imposed lockdown and subsequent loss of his job bordering a paralysed music industry, Kim Thue grabbed the rarely presented opportunity away from everyday distractions to re-engage with his otherwise neglected photography. Drawers full of previously unseen negatives and contact sheets generated from extensive travels from his home in London to far flung corners of China, Iceland, Spain and Sierra Leone had become an unresolved issue sitting in…
Dirk Braeckman started out as a painter, initially only using photography as a medium to document his subjects. This initial practice of painting was decisive in the way in which photography then became the catalyst for a painter's eye. Dirk Braeckman's art does not produce images because images have no surface, unlike his works whose granulation matters as much as a painter's touch matters. A painting is first of all…

This is the twenty first dialogue in the Ettore Molinario Collection. I have the pleasure of starting 2023 staging an imaginary encounter between Consuelo Fould and Cindy Sherman.

This dialogue is therefore a wish and a tribute to the women who still fight…

Shockingly brutal yet somehow innocent, this and other photographs I encountered during the show, testify to the punch and power…
