Here is an extract of her essay: This essay solves the enigma of Deborah Turbeville's work by going over her photographic prints with a fine tooth-comb and exposing the infinite layers that lie beneath. She is more than a photographer : her work continually breaks down the blurred boundaries between…

Photo Elysée recently paid tribute to Deborah Turbeville, an American photographer recognised in the 1970s for her fashion photographs. But Turbeville is much more than that; it is a work on photography and its materiality. In collaboration with the MUUS collection, Photo Elysée allows us to discover a true female artist. It's challenging to classify Deborah Turbeville's (1932-2013) work because her oeuvre is rich in research and diverse use of…

I’ve never observed Benedict Brink (b. 1985, Australian) step towards perfection, I get a sense of disdain for anything too clean, or right-angled. People often mistake her for a man because of her name. I think perhaps, it’s also due to this crude-commitment type-way of seeing. Benedict defies any traditions of how an image of a body may be expected to be represented through a female lens — or male…
Galerie Julian Sander presents a selection of photographs from the private archive of Rosalind Fox Solomon. Solomon began her photographic career in the early 1970s, where she studied with Lisette Model during regularly trips to New York City. ‘My liberation began with her,’ she said. ‘I took all kinds of pictures. Model encouraged me to go for the strongest picture, not to be afraid because they were disturbing.’ Rosalind Fox…
Mauro Restiffe's photographs at Villa Sauber capture the spirit of Santo Sospir, the villa Jean Cocteau lived in and decorated in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat between 1950 and 1962. When he entered Santo Sospir for the first time in the spring of 1950, Jean Cocteau was sixty years old. Build in Saint-Jean Cap-Ferrat, overlooking the harbor of Villefranche-sur-Mer, the villa was a haven of peace for him, reminiscent of his youthful days on…
This photographic series by Mahdi Ehsaei shows a side of Iran, which is widely unknown even to Iranians: a minority of people who influenced the culture of a whole region by continuing their African heritage with their clothing style, their music, their dance and their oral traditions and rituals. Ehsaei set out to the Hormozgan Province in the Persian Gulf to shed some light on this part of Iran, which…

The Bildhalle gallery in Zurich presents until November 16 an exhibition by Anna Cabrera and Angel Albarrán entitled: Between The Real And The Unreal. “At first we photographed with the simple intention of recording what we saw.

Thus, photography has in this way become the perfect philosophical tool with which to understand the…

In his presentation, Oleg Sosnov writes: "Looking at our own suffering" - this is the definition that we can give to the exhibition. One way or another, the war made Ukrainians direct participants — heroes, victims, chroniclers. Cameras and social media have turned almost everyone into correspondents…
This is the most impactful email we have received this week. These photos accompanied it. Forgiving is a return to traumatic memories and experience that I endured in my first romantic relationship more than a decade ago. Unprocessed, my trauma manifested in PTSD along with guilt and self-blame. By digitally manipulating images, I reshape and rework my archival materials to undo the simplified reality those photographs represent. And through the…

He was a pioneer of modern photography, an art critic, a researcher and historian of Venezuelan art, a friend to many of the great artists and architects of the twentieth century. Despite the important role Boulton played, he is shockingly underrecognized outside of his home country. To…
