After managing for 8 years, the photography gallery Le Magasin de Jouets in Arles, Nicolas Havette and Laure Campredon opened a new gallery in the city at 21 rue de la Liberté. Here is the presentation of their first exhibition entitled What do you bring back from a trip to India?
Robin Lopvet and Leo Aupetit, for their first collaboration, fantasize the precise memories that disappear, to give way to a sculpture of their mythology.
From the images made on site by Leo, the duo carve delirious representations of his distorted memories thanks to the indecent magic of Robin.
Leo Aupetit
Young impertinent student at the ENSP, participating with photography on instagram (pierretopire) or on Facebook under the name of Labbé Pierre.
Since he dipped his head 7 times in the Ganges in the summer of 2018, he has accepted some crazy challenges like working with Robin Lopvet.
Raised to the rank and graduating from the very Belgian school 75 in 2018, he crossed France and the media to settle in Arles where he broadcasts his white cards and report on VICE.com
