Comprehensive survey of the work of famous American photo artist Ralph Gibson, including previously unseen photographs.
Ralph Gibson (b. 1939) is one of the most interesting and versatile photographers of our time. His great international reputation is based on his exceptional work, which is exhibited and collected by leading museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris and the Fotomuseum Winterthur in Switzerland. The publication accompanying the exhibition Ralph Gibson. Secret of Light brings together key series from the F. C. Gundlach Collection, Hamburg, as well as the photographer's collection and describes his artistic development from the 1960s to the present. Gibson tirelessly explores and breaks new ground in photography. The playful use and design with light are an essential part of his unmistakable signature, which is reflected in his multi-layered and complex oeuvre.
Style Is Life brings together Daniele Tamagni's images of Congolese sapeurs, Botswana's Afrometals, Bolivian wrestlers, young Johannesburg dance groups and more, showcasing famous and unpublished photographs that remind us of the subversive and political value of fashion. 'With every picture of Daniele it becomes clear that he was not a photographer who simply captured moments detached from the surroundings or the people. He immersed himself in every moment and uniquely positioned himself as a foreign photographer who cared about building a relationship with his subject.' (Aida Muluneh) .'Daniele's images have won the World Press Photo, fashion designers such as Paul Smith and Stella Jean inspired, convinced the demanding jury of the ICP Infinity Award and seduced artists like Solange Knowles.' (Chiara Bardelli Nonino).
Roger Ballen. Call of the Void est la huitième d'une série d'expositions au Musée Tinguely sous le titre Danse macabre avec des oeuvres répondant à l'oeuvre tardive de Jean Tinguely Mengele Totentanz (Kehrer 2017). Dans ses photographies et installations souvent dérangeantes et troublantes, Ballen examine la psyché humaine et se pose, ainsi qu'au spectateur, des questions sur l'être et le devenir. Call of the Void se compose de deux parties : Les murs sont couverts de photographies issues des dernières séries analogiques de Ballen, Asylum of the Birds et Roger's Rats, tandis que le centre de l'espace est dominé par une cabane, une habitation pauvre pour les personnes en marge de la société. Né en 1950 à New York et installé à Johannesburg, en Afrique du Sud, depuis 1982, Roger Ballen est l'un des photographes les plus importants de sa génération. Il a publié plus de 25 livres à l'échelle internationale et ses collections se trouvent dans les plus grands musées du monde.

Documenting a vanishing world of Japanese jazz culture.
Japanese jazz bars and coffee shops are insular worlds where time ceases to exist, removed from the speed and chaos of the modern urban landscape. Tokyo Jazz Joints is a visual chronicle of this unique culture that captures the transient beauty of these spaces. Established in 2015 to document Tokyo's myriad jazu kissaten, the project has gradually expanded to cover the whole of Japan. These dedicated jazz listening spaces are slowly vanishing in the face of changing trends, ageing customers and gentrification. This book preserves these living museums before they disappear forever. Tokyo Jazz Joints is a documentary photography project by Northern Irish photographer Philip Arneill, in collaboration with American broadcaster James Catchpole, both long-term residents of Japan.
Award-winning photo series about the politically volatile border region between Mexico and the USA
Borderlands is a documentary essay shot along the US side of the border with Mexico between 2017 and 2019, at the height of the Trump era. The series aims to develop a narration capable of going beyond the emergency perspective under which border-related issues are often presented and to transport the complexity of this 3,600 kilometers long strip of land. Crossed by migrants and travelers for decades but also inhabited by a very diverse range of souls, the borderlands seem to become a different place from the two countries they separate. Francesco Anselmi is an award winning documentary photographer living in Milan, Italy. His work focuses on border areas and the various consequences contemporary border policies are having on the people living in there. He is currently working on a long term project about border communities in the European Union. His images have been published and exhibited internationally.
If Cartier-Bresson's decisive moment reflects a situation perfectly in tune with the photographer's intuition, flawlessly combining the elements of composition and timing, then Ed Kashi's abandoned moment is the result of an imprecise instant of surrender. This collection of photographs, made over a 40-year period, reveals imprecise glimpses of transitory events filled with frenetic energy - the chaos of everyday life. Embodying photography's intrinsic power, they preserve moments that can never occur again in exactly the same time and space. When geometry, mood, and possibility unite to unintentionally create something new, the magical and fictional qualities of still photography capture the unplanned essence of existence. In contrast to my journalistic approach of deep personal connection and keen observation, this work is about capturing the untamed energy of a moment with abandon.
An homage to photojournalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Danish Siddiqui who was killed on assignment in Afghanistan.
On July 16th, 2021, photojournalist Danish Siddiqui was killed while on assignment in Afghanistan working for Reuters News and Media. He was embedded with the Afghan special forces when they came under attack by the Taliban.
Siddiqui (b. 1983 in New Delhi) joined Reuters in 2010 and covered key events across the Middle East and Asia, including the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the Hong Kong protests. He also photographed the lives of ordinary people, for instance young actors dreaming of Bollywood stardom. In 2018, Danish received the Pulitzer as part of the Reuters team documenting the Rohingya refugee crisis.
His untimely death serves as a reminder of the courage that journalists exhibit around the world. Siddiqui's photography lay bare the truth of what is happening in the world making it difficult for us all to dismiss or ignore.
Depuis plus de trente ans, Øyvind Hjelmen travaille comme photographe sur l'île norvégienne de Stord. Son travail se caractérise par des images poétiques cherchant à montrer le passage du temps de manière souvent énigmatique. Broken Shadow est une collection de souvenirs fragmentés. Visant l'intemporalité, les images reflètent la façon dont nous nous rapportons à nous-mêmes et à notre environnement en tant qu'êtres humains. Comment nos vies d'adultes sont basées sur notre enfance et comment nous nous rapportons à nos souvenirs, nos espoirs et nos peurs, notre sexualité et nos rêves. Les images évoquent une sensation de contraste entre le poids des ombres et la légèreté du vol. Dans l'ombre, nous sommes ancrés, connectés. Briser l'ombre peut révéler la beauté qui s'y cache. Cachés dans les profondeurs, il peut y avoir de bonnes choses, mais aussi de l'incertitude et de la peur. Broken Shadow est le troisième volet d'une trilogie, après Elsewhere (2010) et Moments Reflected (2020).
Christophe Gin spent five months exploring the landscapes of Guiana, from border regions to the most remote Amerindian villages, where the local population mingle with soldiers, gold prospectors, and exploited immigrant workers. His photography bears witness to the reality of life in a land full of contrasts, far from the caricatures often presented through the mainstream press.
»Guiana is France's most vast region, in which the Guiana Space Center co-exists with an immense area of forest. In principle, this part of the Republic is subject to the same laws as those of the metropolis. However, a combination of factors (an uncontrollable equatorial forest, a gold rush descending into the tropical Far-West, foreign nationals reduced to criminality, and an American-Indian population forced to adapt to a system of republicanism) transform this part of the Republic into a place of lawlessness. After having worked in the region for the past fifteen years, I see Guiana more like a mosaic of exceptional places, often governed by codes and laws that are right for them.« Christophe Gin (b. 1965), a self-taught photographer, started his career in the early 1990s. His work has been the subject of numerous international exhibitions.
Winner of the 6th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award - Lawless areas in France
