Rencontres ArlesFRAbbaye de la Celle +33 (0)4-90967606 Georges RousseUtopia![]() Grand Express Arles 20257 Jul – 2 Nov 2025Georges Rousse’s Utopia takes over the Abbaye de La Celle with two original site-specific creations and a retrospective, all centered on the artist’s continuing dialogue with painting, architecture, and photography. In the cloister, the usual perception of space is disrupted by a deconstruction of its elements—vaults, walls, staircases—where color appears to have settled onto the stone like a living substance, shifting as the viewer moves. Two of these new installations feature Rousse… more Rencontres ArlesFRÉglise Sainte-Anne +33 (0)4-90967606 On Country: Photography from Australia![]() 7 Jul – 5 Oct 2025“Country” is a term embodied by First Peoples in Australia to describe the lands, waterways, seas and cosmos to which they are connected. It represents Ancestral ties to a place, and the living cultural presence of that place, and references the complex relationship land has to language, family and identity. Being “on Country” is more than just being situated somewhere, it is about being shaped by that place, connected to it, and having a responsibility to care for it.

With fierce irony and surprising beauty, these artists denounce the historical violence against Afro-Brazilian, immigrant, indigenous and LGBTQIA+ peoples by exposing the construction of stereotypes and disputing the narration of the country’s official history.

These images triggered an obsession in the artist that, for six years, led her on a frantic quest for information. Diving into the heart of official networks, forums and exchange platforms of all kinds, she explores the stories of tragic destinies, both collective and individual.

Once the human body is lifeless, it cannot continue to exist in this world. This is an obvious fact, yet I sometimes find it impossible to accept. This was the case with my mother’s death, even though it is only natural for a parent to die before their child. Her body was nowhere to be found. The belongings she left behind, which once adhered to her, had become useless without their owner. Before disposing of them, I decided to take photographs.

The seismic event caused the Pacific floor to rupture along a stretch over 500km long and 200km wide, triggering a tsunami of up to 30m in height in some areas. The tsunami wreaked havoc, reaching up to a 5 kilometers inland, devastating everything in its path.

For over a century, major sporting events have been accompanied by images. With the rise of amateur photography in the late 19th century, coinciding with the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, photography and sports have, in many ways, evolved together.

His cinematographically staged photos have gradually pieced together the fragments of a twilight world. His œuvre stunningly interweaves an autobiographical dimension with the portrait of a gloryless America.

Attacked by light, by humidity, it fades, weakens, vanishes...”– Roland BarthesLike living organisms, photographs are doomed to die. As a reliable, albeit impermanent witness, photography appears to incite humans to cease to perceive time, both affectively and symbolically.Disappearance–death–is a persistent presence in Rosângela Rennó’s work. … more Rencontres ArlesFRÉGLISE SAINTE-ANNE +33 (0)4-90967606 SØSTERSKAP![]() CONTEMPORARY NORDIC PHOTOGRAPHY3 Jul – 24 Sep 2023Søsterskap highlights photographers’ strong role over several generations in the Nordic countries. The exhibition explores the welfare state from a perspective of intersectional feminism. Often referred to as ‘the Nordic model’, this system is characterized by a public sector that provides all citizens with social security and welfare services, including daycare and education, and has brought significant improvement to living and working conditions.

Cargo ports, highways, the backstage of a carnival, graveyards, war ruins: settings of both ceaseless transit and immobilized lives, nailed to the ground or anchored at sea. In her project Exotica, Erotica, Etc., long-distance sailors await the next stopover, longing to form temporary and priced loves.
