Les Douches la Galerie is thrilled to announce its participation in Paris Photo 2024. Since 2015, the gallery's artistic direction has introduced new photographers while continuing to champion those it has represented for years.

While we remain deeply committed to the intrinsic qualities of the still image, particularly vintage and unique prints, this year we are diversifying with a heightened presence of color. Following our recent representation of French artist Joël Denot, in collaboration with Galerie Modesti Perdriolle (Brussels), Les Douches la Galerie is pleased to present a selection of high-quality Cibachrome prints, pigment prints, and Polaroid snapshots. Denot's work explores light and rich chromatic saturation. This colorful selection will be complemented by previously unseen large format works and painted Polaroids by South African artist Roger Ballen, represented by the gallery since fall 2023, along with still lifes by Toni Catany and Ernst Haas' explorations of movement.

For black-and-white photography enthusiasts, we continue to support iconic American photographers like Ray K. Metzker, currently featured in a major exhibition at Fondation A in Brussels, as well as Vivian Maier and surrealist Val Telberg. Additionally, we will showcase a rare tapestry from Man Ray's Revolving Doors series, alongside experimental images by Roger Catherineau, Raoul Ubac, and Jean Painlevé, fashion photography by Frank Horvat, intimate photos by Hervé Guibert, Bogdan Konopka’s daily life scenes in China, and Jean-Claude Gautrand’s Métalopolis abstractions, recently celebrated in a major retrospective at the Réattu Museum in Arles this past summer.
