With the title of "Je Suis Touchée – Je Te Vois", the Galerie Le Ballon Rouge in Paris presents an exhibition comprising three projects by German photographer Monika Barth.
The first series, "Présence Éternelle", features black and white portraits of a woman the photographer encountered in Los Angeles. It explores themes such as time, ageing, beauty and transience. The portraits are complemented by images of the California desert in the early morning hours.
For the project "Rencontres à Paris", also shot in black and white, the photographer captured people in Paris. The third series on display, titled "Mona L.", combines images of Hamburg’s cityscape with portraits of women who the photographer approached on the Hanseatic city’s streets.

Becoming South Sudan Chapter I: Portraits Chief, 2011 © Alinka Echeverría / Courtesy Ravestijn Gallery Amsterdam |

Alinka's epic series 'Becoming South Sudan', first shown in part at Art Paris 2017, is a work in which the artist arrests South Sudan's transition to Independence in 2011, becoming the world's 193rd nation. Prior to the South's independence, forty years of internal conflicts and two protracted civil wars had permeated the history of the country. Regardless, the world's newest nation remains in shambles, en masse. This is the first time that the full series, all three chapters, will be on show in Europe.
Alinka's work was recently selected for FOAM Museum's talent award and exhibition in 2017 with the research project she made during BMW's Art & Culture Residency at the Nicéphore Niépce Museum in 2015. In 2012 she was voted ‘International Photographer of the Year’ by the Lucie Awards with her work from South Sudan, and in 2011 won the HSBC Prize for Photography with work from Mexico. Her work has been widely exhibited at international venues, including La Maison European de la Photographie in Paris, the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Moscow Photobiennale, as well as solo exhibitions at the Johannesburg Art Gallery, Les Rencontres de la Photographie Arles and The California Museum of Photography. Her work is part of several public and institutional collections including The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Musée Nicéphore Niépce in France, BMW Art & Culture Collection and The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. Recent commissions include the Swiss Foundation of Photography and BBC Four. |

Lizzie Sadin » The Trap — Trafficking of Women in Nepal
|

8th Laureate of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award |

Fondation Carmignac has announced the 8th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award has been awarded to French photojournalist Lizzie Sadin.
After three months of reporting in Nepal, between February and May 2017, the photojournalist Lizzie Sadin has brought back, for the Carmignac Photojournalism Award, a deeply moving testimony on gender based human trafficking, which is deeply rooted it is in Nepalese society.
From 20 October 2017, an exhibition at the Hôtel de l’Industrie in Paris will showcase her works. It will be accompanied by the publication of a monograph.
Following a call for applications in July 2016, the jury, presided by Monique Villa, CEO of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, has chosen to give a voice to Nepalese women by selecting Lizzie Sadin’s project.
In 2015, an earthquake of 7.8 on the Richter scale shook Nepal, killing 9,000 and causing 6,500 people to be displaced. Nepal’s political instability, the extreme precariousness of its population – one quarter of whom lives below the poverty line – and the failings of its education system mean that the country is struggling to recover from this disaster and must now confront a emerging new phenomenon: human trafficking.
This trafficking principally affects women. The influence of cultural traditions which maintain women’s status as inferior beings, or even as possessions, is still strong. 20,000 young girls are exploited in the sex industry of Kathmandu and more than 300,000 of them emigrate in order to take up “employment” as domestic workers. |

Born in 1966. Lives and works in Paris.
After showing Seb Janiak’s “Paradeisos” at the beginning of this year, Pièce Unique is presenting a solo show in the 2 spaces of the gallery with a group of works of the series “The Kingdom”.
This series, started in 2009, constitutes an essential step in Seb Janiak works.
“The Kingdom” is inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the “Bardo Thodol” where the soul deprived of its mortal envelope has to face its repressed desires, its angers, traces of its passing through the matter on earth. During the 49 days of the Bardo, the conscience of the soul has to understand that all these sometimes diabolical visions are not but fantasies, an illusion created by fear and that only then the true light gets the upper hand and will guide the soul towards the one and only light of the creative God.
In this silence of shrouding layers, the form loses its rythm and assurance. The visible face of these monumental photographies is only there to allow us get to its secret face which, as a supernatural window, opens at the border of the world where we live walled in; further begin dark areas the reason cannot reach but only the soul.
It is as much about a personal quest as about a game for an artist moved by the will not to be held in appearances. Staying on the alert through a constant questioning on the world, Seb Janiak sketches answers, proposals. By the image.
This fictitious world which under our eyes gets organized as it pleases, with the remains of the real world, reveals the most specific essence of a soul.
For the artist, the light stops being the clearness which highlights what is: she is an emanation, a divine irradiation, a sil… |

This autumn, the BnF (the French national Library) will hold a major exhibition, Paysage francais, une aventure photographique, 1984-2017, where two photographers of the gallery will show their works. Xavier Dauny, with his series Pylônes, methodically explores our environment and the traces left by human on the natural landscape. Guillaume Martial, who won the HSBC Prize in 2015, exposes Parade, a series realized within the mission France(s) Territoire liquide, where the photographer animates the urban environment with an applied humor.
Upon invitation by the BnF, we wish to extend this subject of landscape with a collective exhibition of our artists at the gallery. Rather than a documentary vision of the landscape, their works offer an imaginary geography, born in the real world but metamorphosed by the camera, the printing or post-processing: a reality reinvented by photography.
Gregor Beltzig traveled to Armenia, his notebook pages where handwriting mingle with photographs and his souvenirs of the Silk Road in Fresson prints reveal a poetic vision of the world. Following the approach of his fascinating Darkened Cities, Thierry Cohen presents his new series in exclusivity and plunges the forest under the stars. Xavier Dauny, exhibited at the BnF, shows his series Domaines skiables at the gallery. Sabine Guédamour follows the Doubs river from its source to the Saône; more than the river, she describes the nature that surrounds it, the passing of seasons and the tenuous relationship between humans and water. Aiming towards new dimensions, Iris Hutegger presents her latest works, these photographs of mountain landscapes embroidered with colors and emotions. Jens Knigge, a master of the ancient process of platinum-palladium, captures the rough landscapes of Iceland in miniature views and sublime shades of gray. Olivier Mériel amazed at the landscapes of his native Normandy, photographs the city, the coast and elds with a large-format camera and handprint them in the dark room. With contrast and sharpness, his photographs praise time, shadows, and light. Jacques Pugin, in echo to the date of the first DATAR mission, exhibits his Graffiti rouges, a series of landscapes realized in 1984 by this precursor of light painting and printed with the Fresson process. Last but not least, Nikolas Tantsoukes, inspired by Dada, creates unique collages. Collecting images from old magazines, he composes surrealistic landscapes where a modern city is placed under the nave of a church or an alpine landscape in the ballroom of a Bavarian palace.

The seven photographers who are the subject of this exhibit – Wayne Miller, Ray K. Metzker, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Marvin E. Newman, Vivian Maier, Tom Arndt and Carlos Javier Ortiz – cover the period from 1940 to the present. None of them has followed the same path and none have the same way of looking at things. Each one presents us with a different image of the African-American community that had come to Chicago from the Deep South with the hope of greater freedom and better jobs. Their photos are a shocking and highly artistic testament to the life of the blacks of Chicago for over a half century.
Ray K. Metzker and Marvin E. Newman are all descendants of the unique talents of Laszlo Moholy Nagy. They all began their apprenticeship at the New Bauhaus, which was transplanted to Chicago in 1937 under his aegis, and followed it through the 1950s, under the direction of Harry Callahan. Through experimental and practical learning, they trained their eye to different aspects of creation: they were introduced to industrial design and advertising, followed by a specialisation in photography and its technical aspects, especially developing finesse in capturing light, geometric forms, the movement of silhouettes and tonal contrasts. But their common background is not a mark of uniformity – quite the contrary!
Ray K. Metzker chose the most geometric approach, ingeniously following Callahan’s teaching. He explores haziness, geometric forms, all the nuances of black and white, turning streets into theatre backdrops.
Coming from New York, where he gained a wide experience in short films and photography, Marvin E. Newman brought his Japanese accomplice, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, along w… |

Charles Xelot » There is gas under the tundra
|
|
7 - 9 November 2017 |
|
Opening reception: Tuesday 7 November 18:00 |
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
To celebrate the opening of Paris Photo, FMR gallery is proud to present an ephemeral exhibition of the work of Charles Xelot. The exhibition will showcase works from his most recent series "There is gas under the tundra" which was photographed in the Russian Arctic.
The photographs question the tremendous changes occurring in Russia’s Far North; where industrial gas exploration, climate change, and traditional life confront each other. Across two years Charles Xelot immersed himself in the Arctic and returned with powerful images that highlight human ambition. In contrast to a documentary approach, his vision of contemporary issues is imbued with symbolism.

Looking at works of art in a collection implies surrounding oneself with « Things » that form part of the universe of another person. Walter Benjamin said that one of the most intimate relationships that can be established with objects is that of possession. That is why working with the photographs and videos of the Helga de Alvear Collection is an act of both voyeurism and complicity.
This selection of photographs and videos from the Helga de Alvear Collection is, evidently, a proposal among the many others that could exist. If art is, above all, a way of creating gazes, The Tears of Things proposes seeing the life of the things represented and, perhaps, comparing it with our own. |

Clément Cogitore » Braguino or the impossible community
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
Clément Cogitore visited Braguino twice (in 2012 and 2016), « Braguine’s place » in Russian, taken from the name of a family of ‘Old Believers’ living in a handful of huts lost in the middle of the Taiga deep in the heart of Siberia, 700 km from the nearest village. He went to Braguino to try to solve the mystery of Sasha’s drive to move to there with his family over thirty years ago, in the hope of living in peace, and constructing a completely self-sufficient lifestyle. However, very rapidly this paradise becomes the scene of an open battle between two families who cannot live side by side, who cannot agree to a shared way of life. This impossible community is the central axis of Clément Cogitore’s film, photo and sound work. Plunged into darkness, the installation at LE BAL is like total immersion for the visitor, at the heart of a narrative in several acts, each one a filmed fragment revealing another intrigue, each one with its own rhythm, place and action : arriving in Braguino by helicopter, Sacha’s dream, a bear hunt, the mysterious island where the children roam free, all build to the intense crescendo of an armed conflict. All of which throws us into a twilight world, as do the large, luminous photos in muted tones that track this journey. With truly archaic dramaturgical prompts, Clément Cogitore evokes the conflictual tenets of the great myths. Braguino relates the experience of a two-pronged dilemma: to escape or stay put, to build something together, or destroy oneself. Far more than a mere ethnographical study, Clément Cogitore tells a cruel tale that echoes ‘the tipping point of our civilisation’. |
