All About Photo

Uchronie, an exhibition at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature (Museum of Hunting and Nature), is dedicated to the work of photographer and artist Vincent Fournier. Uchronie is the name given to a fictional reconstruction of history that might have differed from what we know. With this title, the exhibition is seen as so many disturbing parallel histories. What if? In an alternative version of history, the Uchronie exhibition explores humanity's relationship with nature and technology. It raises questions about the possible evolution of life on Earth. Fournier is inspired by the utopian visions of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as space exploration and the redesign of life itself. His concept of 'future bursts' blends the phantastical and the believable, creating compelling stories from the past and present. The exhibition is a light-hearted exploration of how life as we know it has evolved over time. Recognizing his unique work, the Museum invited Fournier to exhibit...

  Antoine d’Agata, Oscurana, Mexique, 2013-2015 Codex | Mexico, 1986-2021 Galerie Les filles du calvaire is pleased to announce a new solo exhibition of Antoine d’Agata which will take place from 28 October to 4 December 2021. Five years after his last exhibition Atlas, d’Agata revisits the work he produced in Mexico. 1986 – 2021.The body of work presented at the gallery reflects the experiences of this prolific artist: violent and troubled. The ensemble testifies to a journey, to incessant return trips to Mexico, which have been for the artist a field of absolute experimentation, beyond limits. The photographic material that makes up this ensemble comes from experiments carried out over a period of thirty-five years. Two histories are intertwined here, that of Mexico and that of the author’s relationship with the violence of a community that he has seen disintegrate. “For forty years, – way before becoming a photographer – I live, through my own experience, in Mexico as elsewhere,...

  © Sebastiao Salgado May 20 - October 31, 2021 For seven years, Sebastião Salgado immersed himself in far corners of the Brazilian Amazon, photographing the forest, rivers and mountains, and the people who live there. On his journeys deep into this realm—where the immense power of nature can be felt as in few places on earth—his photographer’s eye captured striking images, most being shown here to the public for the first time. Accompanied by an original soundtrack—a ‘symphony-world’ created by Jean-Michel Jarre using concrete sounds from the forest—the exhibition also gives voice to the indigenous communities photographed, via their testimonies.   A photographic journey  Following from his Genesis project, a photographic ode to the majestic beauty of the most remote regions of the world, Salgado embarked on a new series of expeditions to capture the incredible natural diversity of the Brazilian rainforest, and the ways of life o...

The spring 2021 exhibition at Galerie Miranda brings together two historical and littleknown bodies of photography that capture urban underground culture in Paris and New York in the late seventies and early eighties.     At the time, Gary Green (b. 1956, USA) and Philippe Chancel (b. 1959, France) were both young photographers, in their first jobs and finding their footing as adults and as artists. Each of their series bears witness to the energy and spontaneity of youth - that of the artists, but also of the urban underground movements they were documenting. In 1982, Paris, Philippe Chancel photographed the city's rockabilly gangs composed largely of teenagers from immigrant families who sought the freedom and social integration represented by the music and clothes of postwar American pop culture, that they adapted in a kind of Parisian West Side Story. Paradoxically, at the same time on the other side of the Atlantic, New York was plunging into deep social, economic and urb...

  SARAH MOON Past Present 18 Sept 2020 – 10 Jan 2021 The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is presenting the exhibition PastPresent, devoted to the work of Sarah Moon. Active in France and abroad since the late 1960s, she is recognised as a great fashion photographer; but she is far from limited to this single field, and the aim of this exhibition is to reveal the singularity of a photographic and cinematic oeuvre fluctuating between reflections and transparency, mirages and obscurity. As an adjunct to her career as a model, in the early sixties she started working as a self-taught photographer. Commissions began to come in and in 1968 her collaboration with Corinne Sarrut on the Cacharel image drew attention on the male-dominated international fashion scene. Her advertising campaigns, posters and magazine work were marked by an immediately recognisable imagination, with the women who peopled her images seemingly suspended in the course of a narrative sprinkled with literary and filmi...

 5 September - 31 October Vernissage Saturday 5 September 17h - 19h Galerie Miranda 21 rue du Château d'Eau, 75010, Paris More information "23 November, II," (2018) Archival pigment print, 30x45 cm, Edition of 10.  "In a quest for a personal vision of masculine beauty, Stevens photographs the bodies of men of different ages with a gaze that is observant, curious, open and sensual yet not sexualized. Stevens is interested in the lines and forms created by the men's poses, finding beauty and humanity in each unique body, irrespective of their proportions. Thus exposed, the men are simultaneously virile and vulnerable; muscled and gracile; confident and shy. With great simplicity and a soft photographic palette that recalls realist painting, Stevens captures their individuality with a contemporary feminist vision that is fundamentally egalitarian."

January 31 - March 14, 2020 Serra Pelada, State of Para, Brazil, 1986 Following his studies at São Paulo University in Brazil and at Vanderbilt University in the United States, Sebastião Salgado worked with the International Coffee Organization for which he traveled extensively. It is during these trips that he started taking pictures, and in 1973, he left his job to begin a career in photography. He has never stopped travelling since. He partnered with photo agencies such as Sygma, Gamma, and Magnum Photos up until 1994, at which point he and his wife, Lélia Wanick Salgado, founded the Amazonas Images agency. His projects are conceived and created as long-term endeavors, and presented in exhibitions and books which are characterized by a strong visual coherence. From 1977 to 1984, Salgado journeyed through Latin America and visited its most remote mountain villages. The resulting photographs were published in Otras Americas in 1986. Salgado began another extensive project that ...

EARTH GALLERY is pleased to invite you to discover « GHOSTS OF GLORY », an historical and photographic exhibition dedicated to the artist Guilhem de Castelbajac. The artist Guilhem de Castelbajac is foremost inspired by historical marks and traces, encountered on his peregrinations to forgotten places, ruins, and nebulous streets - all of which have come to symbolize immemorial battlefields. In the enigmatic images formed by these encounters, Castelbajac transports these battle scars and successes into an undatable vortex, where heroes, chimeras, and power structures wash into myth. These myths, which compose contemporary society - a space where digital prolificacy has congealed memory into collective numbness - influence Castelbajac’s desire to create a crystalline defiance of numerical era, a trail left by the invisible. Embracing its prime location, 35 avenue Matignon, in Paris, Earth Gallery represents and exhibits many new and established artists from different cultural backg...

In November 2014, coinciding with Paris Photo, a collaborative Norwegian project opens in Paris showing a solo exhibition with photographer Morten Andenæs, in addition to the launch of Objektiv #10 and an artist talk between Andenæs and Lucas Blalock. Curated by MELK and Fotogalleriet, the exhibition green apples / blue sky is the first presentation of Morten Andenæs’ photographic works in France. The exhibition title corresponds literally to two of the photographs on show; blue sky and green apples. The indexical nature of the title, revealing nothing but what experience subsequently will show, sets the stage for a short circuit. Simultaneously this recurring gesture mirrors photography’s condition as a reiteration or addition to reality that points to something reality is not able to articulate on its own. By explicitly stating that which otherwise might be incited through our desires and fantasies, Andenæs thwarts our capacity to freely project onto the photographs. Nove...
