A picture means I know where I was every minute. That’s why I take pictures.
It’s a visual diary. - Andy Warhol
A l’occasion de sa 19ème édition, Paris Photo inaugure son nouveau secteur,
PRISMES, avec une sélection de projets dédiés aux œuvres sérielles et aux
projets hors normes.
Depuis les origines, la photographie a généré une démultiplication des images,
intégrant dans certain cas le processus sériel au cœur même de l’œuvre.

Le portfolio Double Elephant regroupe 60 œuvres historiques de Manuel Alvarez Bravo,
Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander et Walker Evans. Cet ensemble retrace l’évolution
de la culture visuelle depuis les années 30.
Daido Moriyama, photographe de l’avant-garde japonaise des années 70, témoigne
de cette approche sérielle essentiellement perceptible dans ses nombreuses
publications. Cette année et pour la première fois sur Paris Photo, est exposée
l’intégralité des 80 tirages de Farewell Photography. La série Flower Love
de Nobuyoshi Araki est également une magnifique expression de la sérialité.
Considérant la vie et la photographie comme un tout, il nous présente un
ensemble de 2000 Polaroïds.
Avec Sleeping Portraits, partie intégrante d’une autre série, Paul Graham nous
amène à explorer l’éphémère et l’anodin de notre quotidien. Le questionnement
surgit du dialogue des images dans une présentation réalisée pour le lieu.
Rosalind Solomon Fox nous révèle les aspects douloureux de la condition humaine
à travers sa sélection de Portraits in the Time of AIDS de 1988.
Témoin de la lutte inexorable pour la survie, ses images poignantes,
troublantes et dérangeantes nous interpellent.
Dans un autre registre, Stephan Schenk, tel un archéologue, le regard rivé vers
la terre, cartographie le sol d’anciens champs de bataille par une succession
de tapisseries de grands formats adaptées de photographies. Les paysages déserts
de Bae Bien-U nous plongent hors du temps entre communion et harmonie au milieu
de forêts de pins, symbole de l’âme du peuple Coréen. La nature incontrôlable,
dépourvue de présence humaine, dans un format démesuré, trouve toute son
expression chez Boomoon pour tendre vers l’infini.
Enfin, l’installation de Suzanne Lafont Situation comedy et Index met
en perspective un travail photographique à la croisée des disciplines.
Entre théâtre, littérature et performance, elle nous présente une œuvre
constituée à partir d’une banque d’images. Ces photos associées à des textes
par le jeu du hasard de la projection livre à chaque visiteur une nouvelle
expérience visuelle.

DAIDO MORIYAMA - “FAREWELL PHOTOGRAPHY”
Daido Moriyama Born in 1938, Ikeda, Osaka Prefecture, Japan; lives and works in Tokyo
Daido Moriyama is widely acknowledged as one of the world’s preeminent living
photographers. His career began in the 1960s under the influence of Japanese master
photographers Shomei Tomatsu and Eikoh Hosoe, and he was a vital part of the
avant-garde generation that formed in Tokyo around the magazine Provoke.
Influenced not only by photography in Japan, but by a range of American and
European influences, from Jack Kerouac, William Klein and Andy Warhol, to
Eugène Atget and Nicéphore Niepce, Moriyama quickly established his own radical and
highly original style. Shooting quickly and freely on the streets of Tokyo, taking
on board the grain and blur of city life, he built up his own photographic language
and by 1972, less than a decade after the start of his career, he had already
published three of the most influential photobooks of the post-war period:
Japan A Photo Theatre (1968), Farewell Photography (1972) and A Hunter (1972).
Member of the avant-garde Provoke movement, Daido Moriyama, along with Takuma Nakahira,
burned all the negatives of the photographs included in Farewell Photography a few
months after it was published. Some 30 spare negatives were kept safe until a few
years ago. This set of 30 prints was purchased in 2012 by Tate, and presented that
same year by Tate at Paris Photo. Recently, some 50 other negatives, that
Moriyama’s publisher didn’t include in Farewell Photography, despite Moriyama’s
deepest wish, were rediscovered.
This is the first time that the complete and definitive set of Farewell Photography
will be presented to the public.

ROSALIND FOX SOLOMON - “PORTRAITS IN THE TIMES OF AIDS”
Rosalind Fox Solomon, born in 1930, Highland Park, Illinois; lives and works in New York
Artist Rosalind Fox Solomon's presents a personal selection of images from her
historic series, Portraits in the Time of AIDS, 1988. Created at the height of the
AIDS epidemic, these images are shocking and unabashed depictions of the ravaging
symptoms of this illness. This exhibition, shown in the United States in 1988,
prompted much debate regarding the polemical nature of depicting persons with AIDS
as visibly ill, physically weakened, or doomed, at a time when the general public
and media were terrified, grappling with the nature of the illness and its effect
on American society. Confronting suffering and death has remained a particular
obsession for Solomon, and this body of work is but one part of an investigation
she has pursued to the ends of the globe and as long as she has been photographing.
In this series of pictures, my goal was to reveal a special character, a
relationship, an environment, aspects of the human struggle to survive. In my work
these have been ongoing themes. - Rosalind Fox Solomon

Suzanne Lafont, born in 1949 in Nîmes; lives and works in Paris

Suzanne Lafont practices photography in an extended field that incorporates
references to theatre, performance, cinema and literature.
The exhibition offers a perspective on Lafont’s work drawing on an ongoing
collection of photographs taken since 1987 that comprise a ‘data bank’ of 465
photographs. The twofold presentation (double digital slide projection) offers
entries both in French and in English, thereby allowing the random association of
images. The starting point may be a word or a phrase; setting up the different
order and set of associations in each language. These provide the raw material for
each proposition, allowing Lafont to explore different regimes of images in a
series of situations.
I choose the form of dictionary. By placing
role of alphabetically ordered entries, the
ordered in a way that is independent of the
elements. The arbitrariness of the alphabet

BOOMOON - "SANSU"
Boomoon, born in 1955 in Daegu; lives and works in Seoul and Sokcho, South Korea
From the 1980s and up to this day, Boomoon has confidently depicted simple scenes
of oceans, skies, deserts, mountains, and rivers. He is one of the photographers
pioneering the movement to confront "nature itself". With his two recent series,
"Sansu", which took material from mountains in winter, and "Naksan", which depicted
the sea in winter, he achieved extremely detailed and startling results.
Sansu means “Mountain-Water”, a core concept in the representation of nature in
Chinese, Korean and Japanese aesthetics. Traditional Sansu aesthetics look for the
metaphysical union with nature, conceived as a materialisation of the Confucian
value of ren and the Taoist value of tao. Boomoon’s contemporary vision of Sansu
considers the image as an attitude. Always produced with huge dimensions with
infinitely clear details, Boomoons large-scale works invite contemplation on
multiple levels. Untitled 18134 shows the smooth surfaces of newly-fallen snow that
has slightly and thinly coated slim branches. The extraction of such minuscule
components resonates with the viewer’s grasp of the massif.
It is of profound importance to understand Boomoon’s capacity to create an
experiential space for the viewer and allow us to embody essential vantage points
upon the optical splendor and ordering of the physical world. Significantly,
Boomoon’s camera perspective does not simulate an overtly human scale or optical
perspective. He goes beyond being a photographer who offers us the sense of an
omniscient but still human visual exploration of the world. Instead, his acute
avoidance of a hyperbolic signature photographic style means that we are liberated
viewers that can move into, above and beyond the natural phenomena that his camera
explores, unhindered by an overbearing sense of his authorship. - Charlotte Cotton
(from Constellation, Daegu Art Museum)
When I’m in the field, the image itself decides what moment I am waiting for.
Waiting is part of the encounter. Some might think that it’s just by luck that all
the elements come together to reveal the object to be photographed. But the image
really is the culminating point in my complex experience of relationships with the
world before me. I’m always amazed that it is possible to obtain an image in the
fleeting second of an encounter between several physical and mental words. The
moment when the shutter opens at last is the conclusion of a situation. - Boomoon

STEPHAN SCHENK - “KREUZWEG” (WAY OF THE CROSS)
Stephan Schenk, born in 1962 in Stuttgart; lives and works in Chur, Switzerland.
M Bochum presents six tapestries from Stephan Schenk’s series Kreuzweg
(Way of the Cross). The tapestries are adapted from photographic images and
dominate the walls with their imposing size of 295 x 223 cm each. The woven works
show closely observed details of the natural terrain: leaves, twigs, earth, grass,
water. Nothing here betrays that we are seeing something extraordinary or
spectacular. The viewer’s gaze roams aimlessly over the flora depicted, which
differs from tapestry to tapestry. What captivates initially is the simple beauty
of these woven pieces of nature.
Schenk traveled to the former battlefields and used his camera to record the
surface of the ground on which hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives.
The location is not evident merely from looking at the resulting works. But their
titles then open our eyes to where the photographs were taken. Verdun, Somme,
Tannenberg – these names still summon today instant associations with World War I.
Schenk’s tapestries deliberately avoid any semblance of objectivity: the steep
perspective and strong cropping allow no geographical location to be deduced.
Schenk instead works on the assumption that a traumatic event like World War I can
never be objectively visualized. The photographs and tapestries in the series
The Way of the Cross can therefore be understood more as an occasion and impetus to
grapple with the theme, encouraging us to do so in various ways.
The execution of the images in the medium of tapestry expresses in a fascinating
way the idea of the ‘interwoven-ness’ of fates and history. The title of the series
also takes up this theme. Even more than the religious meaning of
The Way of the Cross, which by all means plays a role here – World War I was
already referred to by contemporaries as a ‘martyrdom’ – Schenk is interested in
the idea of standing at a ‘crossroads’ and trying to choose the right path. This
thought in turn evokes the fateful chain reactions that led to World War I.
Schenk seeks in his works to keep alive the memory of the victims and suffering of
World War I – in the form of a culture of remembrance that is decidedly not
objective but based instead on experience. The Way of the Cross opens up for the
viewer myriad possibilities for reflection. Without a specific reading being
imposed by the artist, there unfolds while viewing the works, and with knowledge of
the sites they portray, an emotional play of thoughts through which the observer
himself fills the images with content and significance.

PAUL GRAHAM - “SLEEPING PORTRAITS”
Paul Graham, born in 1956, Stafford, United Kingdom; lives and works in New York
Curated by artist Paul Graham, the gallery presents Sleeping Portraits from the
series Does Yellow Run Forever, which pushes deeper into his ongoing exploration of
the ephemeral and common in the fabric of our everyday lives.
This series consists of three parts and is shot in three different locations images of rainbows from Western Ireland, a young woman (Senami) asleep in different
rooms on the far side of the world, and the facades of New York City gold shops.
The combination of these images allows us to collectively consider the fleeting
things we seek and value in life: love, wealth and happiness, beauty – the
metaphorical pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

BAE BIEN-U – “SACRED WOOD”
Bae Bien-U, born in 1950 in Yeosu, Korea; lives and work in Seoul, Korea
Photography emphasizes the relationship between man and nature. Harmony with nature
is the leitmotiv of Bae's photographic work. It reflects on the preoccupation of
the Korean people to live in harmony with it. Bae sees in a pine tree a contact
between the sky and the earth. It succeeds at freezing on paper all the drama and
magic of this mythical place and the vital energy of the trees in order to
resituate them in intense meditation.
Bae has been practicing photography since the 1970s, but since 1985, his work has
oriented itself essentially around the immortalization of pine tree forests typical
of Korea. This choice doesn't seem to be trivial since the pine tree is a
culturally significant tree in Korean culture as it's considered a symbol of
longevity. According to him, "pine trees are symbols of the souls of the Korean
people."

MANUEL ÁLVAREZ BRAVO, GARRY WINOGRAND, LEE FRIEDLANDER, WALKER EVANS “DOUBLE ELEPHANT", 1973-74
Manuel Alvarez Bravo, born in 1902 in Mexico City; died in 2002 in Mexico City
Garry Winogrand, born in 1928 in New York, USA; died in 1984 in Mexico
Lee Friedlander, born in 1934 in Aberdeen, WA, USA; lives and works in New York
Walker Evans, born in 1903 in St. Louis, Missouri; died 1975 in New Haven, Connecticut
From 1973 to 1974, Lee Friedlander and Burt Wolf edited four iconic portfolios at
the Double Elephant Press in New York, featuring photographs by some of the most
influential photographers of the twentieth century: Manuel Alvarez Bravo,
Walker Evans, Garry Winogrand, and Lee Friedlander himself. Each of the four
limited edition portfolios contain fifteen photographs by each artist, representing
their distinct visions that can be described in the words of Walker Evans as
“oddly refreshing, unselfconsciously striking, and unpredictably adventurous.”
This special presentation of the original portfolios honors the unique
collaborative project that was to become a touchstone in the history of
photography. Its title, Double Elephant, is a synonym for materials of the highest
grade, which were selected for the production of the portfolios.
By the mid-1970s, photography had gained momentum in the art world and had
arrived in the museums, galleries, and universities. The photographs on view in
this exhibition represent important steps in this process. In 1967, for example,
the works of Friedlander and Winogrand were part of the exhibition New Documents
at the New York MoMA, which coined the name of a new approach to documentary
style photography. Very aware of the medium’s artistic means, the photographers
devoted their practice to everyday, personal subject matter. If documentary
depictions had formerly been motivated by a social agenda, these artists
observed the world and human behaviour. The exuberant energy in Winogrand’s
photographs as well as Friedlander’s laconic compositions are reminiscent of
Walker Evans’ formative influence on the visual culture of America since the
1930s, when his work was exhibited in the first one-man show of a photographer
at the Museum of Modern Art. It is with a surrealistic impulse that Evans’
contemporary, the great Mexican photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo, portrays the
experience in his country in an intimate yet transcending way. Their works are
at once clear and ambiguous, and thus they are able to convey the inextricable
contradictions of modern life, the search for truth and the longing for poetry.
The presentation coincides with the book publication Double Elephant in four
volumes, edited by Thomas Zander (Steidl, 2015).
Historically, the phrase double elephant was used to describe the size of a book
and the technique for binding. However, over the years (a few hundred) the phrase
was employed to request the highest grades of paper, ink and materials available.
That is why we called it the Double Elephant Press. - Burt Wolf, founder of the
Double Elephant Press.

DUO SHOW - BRUNO SERRALONGUE, TORBJØRN RØDLAND
Bruno Serralongue, born in 1968 in Chatellerault, France; lives and works in Paris
Torbjørn Rødland, born in 1970 in Stavanger, Norway; lives and works in Los Angeles
Air de Paris presents the works of two artists, Bruno Serralongue and
Torbjørn Rødland.
The works of Bruno Serralongue explore the role of the photographer and its
position vis-à-vis the subject. Often political, his photographs are involved in
all aspects of the production of the image. Thus, his work is as much an
investigation into the political moment as an investigation of the representation
itself. Works will also be presented from the series on migrants in Calais, ongoing
since 2006.
14
In the photographs of Torbjørn Rødland, reality is constantly questioned,
renegotiated. At first sight mundane, situations put in place by Rødland appear
strange, often deliciously acidic and offset. They explore a wide range of
emotional possibilities. A form of psychological realism? Recent works are selected
by the artist for this exhibition.

SOLO SHOW - JACQUES HENRI LARTIGUE
Jacques Henri Lartigue, born in 1894 in Courbevoie, France, died in 1986
Alain Gutharc gallery presents an entire set of vintage photographs by
Jacques Henri Lartigue, taken from his son Dany Lartigue’s private collection and
bought in 1991 by a private collector.
Dating from 1920 (the year Dany was born) until 1943, the photographs were
obviously part of Dany’s personal photo albums and are dated and authenticated by
Dany himself. The photo papers and development techniques testify that the prints
date back to the moment the pictures were taken.
These pictures are as graceful and fragile as personal intimate pictures
can be, and of course are not the size photographs are usually shown at
an exhibition. The passing of time during which so many hands have handled them
make them even more touching.
They reflect Jacques Henri Lartigue’s own personal vocabulary: movement,
automobiles, fashion, sports…

DUO SHOW - JÜRGEN KLAUKE, PETER WEIBEL
Jürgen Klauke, born in 1943 in Cochem, Germany; lives and works in Cologne
Peter Weibel, born in 1944 in Odessa, Ukraine; lives and works in Vienna
Jürgen Klauke’s work has greatly influenced the performance photography
of the last forty years, through its continuous re-examination of everyday reality,
sometimes ironic yet penetrating. They have a particular way of overcoming
particular pain thresholds.
Peter Weibel is a pioneer in action art and performance art genre. His political
performances in the 1970s are almost entirely documented by the use of the
photographic medium. The show not only displays early works, but also demonstrates
how each of his artistic approaches has continuously developed over the last halfcentury highlighting their relevance today.

SOLO SHOW - “THROUGH BEAUTY A SALUTE TO DEATH”
Chen Shun-Chu, born in 1963 in Penghu Islands, Taiwan; died in 2014
D27
When he was alive, Chen Shun-Chu often remarked that within his work he had the ability
to foresee death. His work centers on two central topics: a record of his family’s
emotional life and a frank discussion on the nature of death. Throughout his work,
regardless of the subject, Chen’s artistic stance reveals the growth, decay, and
eventual death of his family and its members. Through Beauty a Salute to Death
highlights the artist’s unique view of death as well as his efforts to bring a sense of
dignity and benediction to the deceased.
At 17 years of age, Chen witnessed his father’s passing, only 36 at the time.
Nineteen years later, himself 36, his 60-year-old mother succumbed. Worried that he
would one day share the same untimely fate, Chen worked with a deep passion and
focus in the hopes that something of his work would remain after he himself had
gone. Chen Shun-Chu quietly passed away in October of 2014.
The gallery exhibits some of Chen’s most signature works, including his last pieces
created in partnership with the Xindian Boys - Tsong Pu, Wu Tung-Lung and
Su Hui-Yu.

SOLO SHOW - EDWARD SHERIFF CURTIS
Edward Sheriff Curtis, born in 1868 in Whitewater, Wisconsin; died in 1952 in Los Angeles
Edward S. Curtis is among the most important photographers of the 20th century, and
is undoubtedly the most influential photographer of the American West.
His work represents a document of a people. He was the first photographer to meet
his American Indian subjects on a ground defined by mutual trust and respect; the
first photographer to portray them as anything other than objects of curiosity. He
was able to create a lasting vision of the American Indian. Many of the images that
he produced not only record the daily life of a people, but also convey a dignity,
universal humanity and majesty.
The solo show, Discovering the Copper Photogravure Plates of Edward S. Curtis includes
multiple photographic media to create a historical visual narrative which
contextualizes the significance of these works. Each of the plates exhibited is a
unique work and a primary document of one of the most significant publishing
ventures of the 20th century.

SOLO SHOW - ADAM FUSS
Adam Fuss, born in 1961 in London; lives and works in New York
C23
This Solo Show of the artist Adam Fuss presents the largest daguerreotypes ever
made, portraits of individual figures in the Taj Mahal’s dados rail of flowers,
notably lilies, roses, tulips and poppies. For the artist, the Taj Mahal is a symbol so
clear it is almost a character: a secular temple to love everlasting. In this
series, Fuss reflects upon the haunting humanity of love and heartbreak. In
addition to love, the Taj Mahal is a Victorian-era monument to power.
Fuss references the world as we have found it, and the times that brought us here:
employing a Victorian-era technology to reveal the empire, love, and loss in what
was once the empire of Victoria.
This exhibition includes a single nude study, also in large format daguerreotype,
which makes counterpoint between the artificial and the real in Fuss’s work.

SOLO SHOW - NICK KNIGHT
Nick Knight, born in 1958 in London; lives and works in London
B23
Nick Knight’s works reveal a range of often controversial issues, from racism,
disability, ageism, and more recently fat-ism. He continually challenges
conventional ideals of beauty. The gallery celebrates its recent exclusive
collaboration with the artist with the presentation of a solo show for Paris Photo
before the inaugural exhibition at the gallery in early 2016.
Knight was first known for his book, Skinheads, 1985 which won him the Designers
and Art Directors Award for Best Book Cover and his landmark, post-grunge cover of
Linda Evangelista for British Vogue in November 1993. He has shot numerous
campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and
Christian Dior and has directed music videos for Björk, Kanye West and Lady Gaga.

SOLO SHOW - WEEGEE
WEEGEE, born in 1899 in Złoczew, Poland; died in 1968 in New York

B20
Weegee’s success is oftentimes attributed to velocity in which he responded
to current events. Though his career began as a dark-room assistant for
Acme Newspictures in 1924, Weegee rapidly began working behind the camera as
a photojournalist. After installing his very own dark-room in the boot
of his car, he was able to keep ahead of the game for the press deadlines
and achieved a great proximity with his subjects.
His infamous use of a flashgun created what he termed to be “Rembrandt lighting” – a
highly contrasted chiaroscuro effect which simultaneously heightened and
accentuated visual details, rendering crime scenes less gruesomely whilst
maintaining photojournalistic standards for print. Weegee’s unique vision, often
showing nocturnal scenes, yet his varied themes have inspired generations of
photographers in their thematising the other, the celebrated and the dead.
Weegee’s camera often pointed towards the audience as opposed to the event itself.
His pictures thus implicate and foreground the sensationalist and voyeuristic
elements inherent in photography.
This auspicious solo exhibition will debut these prints from the 1930s
and 1940s to the public with both well-known pictures and an exciting array of
recent discoveries.

SOLO SHOW – HANS BREDER
Hans Breder, born in 1935 in Herford, Germany; lives and works in Lowa.
Danziger Gallery presents a solo show of vintage black and white prints by
Hans Breder. For long a missing piece of the puzzle that is the intersection
between contemporary art and photography Breder has been recognized as a pioneering
figure combining the disciplines of painting, sculpture, installation, performance,
music, film, photography and video. In the late 1960s when the social, political,
and artistic mores of the West were undergoing dramatic upheaval, Breder was an
influential experimental voice. He documented his own artistic
“interventions” placing a rectangular mirror alongside living figures and
photographing the play between the real and illusory worlds. Photographed in the
studio and in nature, these works - collectively known as “Body/Sculptures" bridged the gap between photography,performance, and body art of the late 60s and
influenced a whole generation of artists who sought to challenge the traditional
definition of art.

SOLO SHOW - LUKAS HOFFMANN
Lukas Hoffmann, born in 1981 in Zoug, Switzerland; lives and works in Berlin
Lukas Hoffmann’s work shows the turning point of nature’s reclamation
of the built environment, a process that results in the creation of wild forms and
structures. Far from submitting his images to a theme or subject, Hoffmann primarily
strives to perceive and reveal the visual aspects of the natural world. As such, the
impetus of the artist is not the object being represented – a trunk or a facade –
but rather the arrangement of the landscape that gives structure to the image.
Lukas Hoffmann’s photographs capture isolated/individual scenes, pictures taken
during the artist’s extended wanderings in the suburbs of Berlin. The photographer
chooses his position according to an intuitive, pictorial gaze, in which the scene
assumes an order geared towards the beholder. This viewpoint determines the horizon, upon
which forms emerge.
Hoffmann uses an analog camera and produces his own prints, which allows him to
control the entire photographic process and to use the camera lens to paint and
sculpt shapes and lights out of reality.

DUO SHOW - CHRISTIANE FESER, DANIELE BUETTI
Christiane Feser, born in 1977 in Würzburg, Germany; lives and works in Frankfurt
Daniele Buetti, born in 1955 in Fribourg, Switzerland; lives and works in Zürich
Christiane Feser’s multi-dimensional geometric object photographs create a
labyrinth of space and time. The presented works consist of repetitive,
polydimensional geometric structures. The detailed and clear-cut constructions
require up to five steps to fabricate: building with paper models and photographs
these, sculpts and folds the photographs, and photographs the structures again.
The elaborate method of production is not immediately obvious in the multi-layered
results, which share formal qualities with works by El Lissitzky and Mondrian.
They evoke architectonic spaces, play with light and shadow – and the viewer’s
sense of what is real and what is illusion. Her photographs contain multiple
subjects, over layered and intertwined – what can be seen only exists in the work
itself.
Hypnotic and immersive: Daniele Buetti’s new series Flags is a story of art and
perception. The inspiration for the dazzling, luminous colour prints
of manipulated national flags came from Buetti’s sound installation
It’s all in the mind, which was exhibited in 2014 in the Rotunda of the Schirn
Kunsthalle in Frankfurt and explores the interweaving of the virtual and physical
experience of colour. The over-saturated colours in Flags increase the intensity of
these national symbols beyond recognition. The colour progressions of the digital
prints move between lyrical abstraction and colour field painting, immediately
capturing the attention of the viewer.

SOLO SHOW - DANICA DAKIĆ
Danica Dakić, born in 1962 in Sarajevo; lives and works in Düsseldorf
D36
The Gandy gallery presents, in celebration of ten years of collaboration,
a retrospective selection of photographic works by Danica Dakić spanning the last decade.
Allegories of transience and their visual equivalents play a central role
in the world theater of Danica Dakić.Using the media of photography, video, and
film, her work is based on performative and collaborative processes to explore
concepts of culture, language, and tradition as well as their ongoing changes.
The narrative technique is based, among others, on the genre of the tableau vivant,
on theatrical mise-en-scène. The stereotyping of the gaze is interrogated via
strategies of theatre and performance while the protagonists actively stage their
own roles. By means of rhetorical distancing effect, reality is turned not into a
documentary but into an aesthetically heightened, at times fragmentary form in
which stereotypes can be cast off and reality is reconceived via fictionalization.
18
Safe Frame III (2012), El Dorado (2007), La Grande Galerie (2004) and Yasmin (2014) all
resulting from larger participatory projects:
The media installation Safe Frame, is an exploration of the museum space and the
relationship between image and frame; a reflection on aspects of historicity and
contemporaneity. The group portrait Safe Frame III, inspired by Paul Almásy’s
photograph Louvre (1942), was realized in collaboration with a group of young
women, scholarship holders of the Crespo Foundation.
El Dorado (2007) takes a historic (1848) panoramic wallpaper of the same name as a
starting point and the backdrop to stage the aspirations and dreams of
a group of young people. The project was developed in the Wallpaper Museum
in Kassel in alliance with teenagers from the Hephata Home for underage refugees.
In the El Dorado photographic group portrait the teenagers pose in front of the
wallpaper, representation of fictional paradise, installed in a public space in
Kassel.
For the series of photos La Grande Galerie Danica Dakić drew on the generic
conventions of the tableau vivant. The work was realized in collaboration
with the Roma in the Preoce enclave and the refugee camp Plementina in Kosovo in
2004. The Roma refugees were engaged as actors to take on roles within
a pictorial constellation combining the situation on the spot with the paintings
from the Louvre collection. Firmly-established cultural forms of representation are
investigated in pictorial roles; for example, these are played by a Roma family in
Kosovo, photographed in front of the room-sized backdrop of a reproduction
of Imaginary View of the Grande Galerie in the Louvre in Ruins (1796) by
Hubert Robert. Dakić used this historically charged backdrop to turn participants’
precarious status into a performative mise-en-scène.

SOLO SHOW – DAWID
Dawid (Björn Dawidsson), born in 1949 in Orebo, Sweden; lives and works in
Stockholm.
Dawid has been called Sweden´s first post-modern artist and has for over thirty
years been making series of photographically based artworks examining the nature of
the medium and exploring issues of perception. He began photographing in the late
sixties, documenting incongruous moments with a wry sense of humour, until he
established his signature style of stark graphic illustration, initiated by the
seminal Rost series. His work often balances on a tight rope between the graphic
and the photographic and reflects, criticises and parallels the chequered history
and changing status of photography.
Dawid’s rare vintage silver gelatin prints are presented as well as recent work
exhibiting his continuous experimentation with both ancient and modern techniques
and equipment.
Dawid has since the 1970s been exhibited at leading galleries and institutions in
Sweden and internationally, including the Museum of Modern Art, Folkwang Museum in
Essen Germany. He has published numerous books and catalogues, and in 2001 his book
Beautiful Frames was published on Steidl with lyrics by Michael Mack. Year 2009
Dawid awarded the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s Grand Prize for his artistic
achievements and significance in the present.

SOLO SHOW - STEPHAN CRASNEANSCKI
Stephan Crasneanscki, born in 1969 in Odessa, Ukraine; lives and works in New York
Stephan Crasneanscki takes us on a journey of contemplation. A life force.
Intimate. As if placing himself on the on the edge of the world - or rather
humanity - to better understand its interiority. In the wake of those who have
preceded us in these inhabited places of memories impalpable yet so present.
For Joseph Beuys, the forest is a place of mystical transformations.
It also also coincides to the birth of a myth on which he founds his artistic
approach. Collected by Tartar nomads after his plane crashed in Crimea forest
June 16, 1944, Beuys owes his salvation to that community that fed him honey,
wrapped him in fat and roofed him in felt to bring him back to life. By entering
into this individual mythology, he created for therapeutic purposes, using organic
materials to unite together in a constellation of energy a shamanic regenerating
approach to space. The adventure becomes an agonizing rebirth.
Stéphane Crasneanscki gives testament to this scene. He delivers the rustling image
between life and death, a ghostly presence shrouded by fog and snow. Some diptychs
are vertical to accentuate the elevation. Others are purely monochrome. Color is
soundproof, sometimes uniformly white. The horizon is blocked in front, sides, and
certainly behind. The purification achieves opacity, like the center of a cloud.
By seeing only raw nature, we have a vision of the Stone Age. So many visions that
pay homage to an idea, a philosophy, a religion. A human and his mystery finally.

and works in Congo
Ali Cherri, born in 1976 in Beyrouth, Liban lives and works in Liban.

Imane Fares Gallery presents the work of artists: Sammy Baloji (DRC) and Ali Cherri
(Lebanon).
Born in 1978 in Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sammy Baloji
explores the cultural, architectural and industrial Katanga region of Congo. To
question the official versions of the Belgian colonial history, he researched
various archives including those of the Royal Museum for Central Africa in
Tervuren, Belgium. The Congo Far West series, begun in 2008, is a reinterpretation
of the Belgian scientific expedition to Katanga from 1898 to 1900. Baloji only uses
archival documents: the natives under suspicious are glued on watercolor landscapes
of the Belgian painter Léon Dardenne. This process, borrowed studio photography,
aims to mitigate the view condescending explorers set on "the Other". But thereby
the bias amplifies the attitude of the Belgian photographer François Michel that
studies, classifies and dehumanizes its subject, this ‘Other’ who has never been a
brother and never will. Past and present echo. Congo Far West pushes a tangle of
temporality when the colonial exoticism refers to neo-exoticism of a nomadic
contemporary globalized society in which the ‘Other’ is not our reflection but the
instrument of our desires and our delusions.
Ali Cherri’s videos, drawings and sculptural installations, dissect the
geopolitical situation of Lebanon and surrounding countries with a look both
distanced and involved. Through this new work, which began with the stock market of
Sharjah Foundation, the artist redefined its approach to archeology, which is not
motivated by love of ruins, but by a desire to unearth what has survived.
The discovery of a dig site goes with its destruction: the more we dig more we
destroy. The physical process of the search becomes a form of negative sculpting.

SOLO SHOW – BRASSAÏ, “GRAFFITI” SERIES
Brassaï, born in 1899 in Brasov, Romania; died in 1984 in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, France
Brassaï (1899 - 1984) sought the real and imminent life through spontaneous and
urban photographs – most notably through his night views. He was fascinated by the
phenomenon of graffiti, which reflects an irresistible and existential need to
leave its material presence, immortalizing the unconscious soul born of injuries
and hopes. In the figures, animals and reduced faces, deformed and cracked,
wrinkled and scared, Brassaï discovers a terrifying magic in this primitive form of
expression, questioning the role of man, nature, death and love, while attracting
the gaze, the encounter with the unknown.
In this series, Brassaï reveals the city as a large prehistoric cave, a wild and
anarchic society, devoid of any form of aesthetics. Armed with his camera, the
artist captures the mundane traces of people in the streets of Paris in 1930,
discovering an expression hidden and unsuspected as well as omnipresent.
KLEMM’S, Berlin
SOLO SHOW - ADRIAN SAUER
Adrian Sauer, born in 1976 in Berlin; lives and works in Leipzig
B13
The artistic work of Adrian Sauer questions the limits of the image in a time in
which camera images become increasingly hybrid constructs, between light
measurement and mathematical re-calculation. In a provocative way, some
of his works at first resemble technical test pictures, and yet these questions are
included into the language and tradition of concrete and generative photography.
While he did devote some of his works to the semantic and pragmatic dimension of
the use of images—how are images used and read in a specific context? His other
main interest lies in the ‘morphology’ of the digital image, its ‘theory of form’:
How is it assembled within its smallest parts? How does it work to transfer
visible, physical reality into a saved, calculated image? What does the raster of
the new optical instruments provide? Adrian Sauer addresses the new digital world
of images as our most pivotal field of communication.
The Human Being / The Human Brain in a constant stream of images and visual
information with all its implications and effects we can already witness.
Specifics artworks: Presence/Ubiquity; Irritation/Concentration or
Reflection/Dissolution are some of the key references for the project.
A freestanding, glazed object – functioning as a mirror for the works presented.
With a shape of an irregular triangle that is almost as tall as the surrounding
walls it reminds of a ‘folded screen’ or an oversized prism. The photographs on the
wall are mirrored and fragmented; the spectator is completely surrounded by this
interplay of constantly changing perspectives: framing and zooming, focusing on a
single work and spatial awareness.

Jean-Baptiste Huynh, born in 1966 in Châteauroux, France; lives and works in Paris
Galerie Lelong Paris presents a solo show of recent photographs of Jean-Baptiste
Huynh exploring the double theme of nudes and plants from France and Vietnam.
Jean-Baptiste Huynh was born in Châteauroux in 1966, to a French mother and a
Vietnamese father. As an autodidact, he taught himself lighting and printing
techniques which he mastered to the point of developing a pure and personal style.
The individuality of his photography is recognizable in a large body of work that
includes portraits, nudes and still life and is well in evidence in his most recent
series: Mirrors, Fire and Twilight.
The Villa Médicis Prize and the Kodak Prize stand among his several awards. In
2006, the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris devoted a
retrospective to Jean-Baptiste Huynh. In 2012, the Louvre invited Huynh to show a

photographic material, incomparable.
Pioneer, precursor in color photography, Ernst Haas has quickly become
a master in the chromatic research in formal compositions lightning
and tension towards abstraction. It was in 1962, the first photographer to have a
solo exhibition at MoMA in color. Its warm tones, sometimes glowing, deep blacks

DUO SHOW - AXEL HÜTTE, JOSEF HOFLEHNER
Axel Hütte, born 1951 in Essen, Germany; lives and works in Düsseldorf
Josef Hoflehner, born 1955 in Wels, Austria; lives and works in Austria
Axel Hütte, in his series of photos of Asian and American big cities is interested
in the phenomenon that viewing a sea of lights in the dark of night from an
elevated position can be particularly fascinating. Hütte places an abstract raster
over the chosen picture motif, structuring it frontally and symetrically. The
visualization of the brightly illuminated nocturnal city occurs by means of longterm exposure. Hütte uses only analogue technology for his photographs so that the
structure and the graphic order of the big city become particularly clear. This
capturing of light has a heightened dramatic impact on the radiance of the
architecture and is of great importance. Moreover, Hütte’s use of duratrans prints
imbues his nocturnal pieces with a mysterious impression of depth.
In Josef Hoflehner’s pictures of night and day, light also plays a major role.
In the series of works entitled Waiting for the Sun, he makes an analysis through
detailed photos of cars from the era of the great American automobile industry.
Josef Hoflehner’s œuvre follows on from the American ‘New Topographics’ style of
photography from the 1970s. Photographs showing the void, man-made landscape
similar to a documentary analysis reflect the analytical gaze, the reduction of the
pictorial content to what is essential, the filtering of graphic elements and the
structural analysis of a location. They exemplify his absolute mastery of the
technical possibilities of photography. Lighting design plays a supporting role in
the nocturnal photos of shining car bonnets as well as in the detailed shots of
cars parked in the gleaming sunshine. Like Axel Hütte, Hoflehner waits patiently
for the most favourable moment to press the shutter. Artificial sources of light
from illuminated houses, street lights or advertising billboards focus attention on
the cars, illuminating the scenery as if they were spotlights positioned by the
artist.

SOLO SHOW - BRIGITTE ZIEGER
Brigitte Zieger born in 1959 in Germany; lives and works in Paris
A11
Establishing a dialogue between the masked photographs of Brigitte Zieger, and
vintage photographs allows for a reinterpretation of the long history of female
models in the history of art highlighting the importance, within current artistic
creation, of manipulations of the photographic medium.
Zieger is interested in the ambivalence of the seductive power of violence. For
this series, it is the image of an armed woman, widely portrayed in the media and
cinema, which at once fascinates, seduces and frightens. We had already seen in the
animated video Shooting Wallpaper, recently acquired by LACMA and Museum of Nevada,
a beautiful romantic who aims and shoots at us, loudly, and then returns to blend
into a lively toile de Jouy. The viewer is bought into the game by girls, killers,
shooters, assassins, vixens or grandmas, unknown or icons of the armed struggle,
all brandishing guns at the outermost surface of the image. Working from a precise
selection of photographs collected on the Internet, the artist then turned to
drawing, but drawing with the colors of eye shadow. Insidious offset and mastered,
she also redesigns the explosions with the same attractive and delicate aesthetic eye,
which "applied gently contradicts the action ..." "Masked Photographs" is thus tricked
by these images that assume fully their visual efficiency and glamor in the style
of vintage pin-up posters. A question then arises, have women changed...?

Paci presents world-premiere of Sandy Skoglund’s latest work Winter, begun in 2008;
the second step in the unfinished cycle of her project Four Seasons (begun in
2004). The exhibition will present the most important phases in her career, from
the first empirical results with the camera (Reflections, Still Life), through some
of her most famous works to the unpublished new The Grey Foxes. However, the
culmination of this expositive itinerary will certainly be Winter. The project,
expressly conceived for Paris Photo 2015 will be presented in presence of the
artist, who will also preview the book, especially conceived for the conclusion of
the Winter project with texts by Germano Celant and Walter Guadagnini.
The artificial landscape became my subject matter a long time ago. Using this
concept, I began a series of works on the “Four Seasons” in 2004. “Fresh Hybrid”
was the first in this series, completed in 2008. It was sculpted, fabricated, and
photographed to express “Spring” in the post-organic world of artificial
everything. […]. “Winter” has obsessed me since 2008. At first, I made ceramic
snowflakes, all by hand, for two years struggling with the flatness and shapes. I
created photographic images that I melted into the glaze of the ceramic.
Ultimately, I felt these ceramic works were just a step on the way to another level
of perfection. I began to look into digital processes, more precise and able to
take my drawings and translate them into thin metal shapes that worked better as
snowflakes. At the same time, about two years ago, I decided to teach myself how to
digitally sculpt directly with special computer programs. In this way, I made a
figure from nothing except mental effort with the computer. This was another timeconsuming commitment to master the technique myself. Now my digital file, finished
after the year of work, has been carved into a life-sized person. The digital
figure sculpture and snowflakes are starting to come together, each element
important in itself. I see the work as a hybrid of crafted elements to be united
and frozen together in the near future by the medium of still photography. This is
photography that has a very slow shutter speed, and grows at the speed of a
glacier. - Sandy Skoglund

SOLO SHOW - JAMES WELLING
James Welling, born in 1951 in Hartford, Connecticut; lives and works in Los Angeles
James Welling works with the construction of representation, focusing on our
relationship to reality. Since the 1970s, he has explored the medium of photography
itself, experimenting with all conceivable technical procedures, from capturing an
image to the multiple possibilities while printing it. In 1970, after being deeply
moved by watching choreographer Merce Cunningham and his company perform, Welling spent
one intense year studying modern dance at the University of Pittsburgh. Despite the
fact that Welling did not ultimately pursue dancing, corporality and movement have
always remained central to his work, particularly evident in his abstract photographs,
like his 2005 Torso series. In the summer of 2014, Welling began choreographing and
photographing art students from the University of California, Los Angeles. These blackand-white images were layered into Adobe Photoshop RGB color channels and combined with
images of architecture and landscape to create intensely chromatic, complex images.
The following year, he began adding to this series photographs of other dance
companies, including the Los Angeles Dance Project. The new series on view at
Paris Photo, Choreograph (2014-2015), continues Welling’s exploration of trichromatic
color begun with his Hexachrome (2006), Glass House (2006-2009) and Maison de Verre
(2009) series, with the surprising new element of the human form.

SOLO SHOW – TAIYO ONORATO & NICO KREBS

Peter Lav Gallery presents a solo show unveiling the new large-scale project Eurasia by
Swiss artist duo Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs. The project is a venture reminiscent of
the great photographic expeditions of the 19th century. Onorato & Krebs’ expedition
took them eastwards through among others Roumania, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan,
Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kirgizstan, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. They travelled through
locations in of transition, territories about which Westerners know very little and
which is not associated with a familiar iconography nor an established visual language.
Using obsolete mediums such as 16 mm film and large-format plate cameras,
Onorato & Krebs in Eurasia once again play with the myth of the road trip as well as
with the exoticism of the East. In search of the Central Asian fairytale, they expand
the terrain of the documentary. The resulting images are both documentations and
contrivances, incorporating sculptural reconstructions and visual postproduction, and
even ethnographic objects are added. For Onorato & Krebs, the road trip is an
experimental approach, in which chance is welcomed as a creative force. In a grotesque
way, the idea of a thing stands as much in the foreground as its reality; its possible
past and future come together in a single moment.

SPRÜTH MAGERS, Berlin - NEW EXHIBITOR
DUO SHOW – STEPHEN SHORE, BERND & HILLA BECHER
Stephen Shore, born in 1947 in New York; lives and works in New York
Bernd Becher, born in 1931 in Siegen, Germany; died in 2007
Hilla Becher, born in 1934, Potsdam, Germany; died in 2015

Stephen Shore is a pivotal figure in the history of twentieth-century photography,
and his incisive, deadpan and methodical approach to documenting the American
landscape has been widely influential. Best known for the series American Surfaces
and Uncommon Places, Shore set the standard for two key modes in photography today:
the diaristic snapshot and the mundane yet monumentalised landscape. During his
recent visits to Israel, Abu Dhabi and Ukraine, Shore has shown a sustained
interest in documenting the social landscape, and his photographic eye continues to
capture in vivid detail the peculiar traits of time and place while finding at the
same time signs of universal cultural and historical change.
Bernd and Hilla Becher, over the past five decades, as both teachers and artists,
are now considered among the most influential figures in contemporary photography.
They first met in 1959 and exhibited together from 1963. Their typologies grew out of
their expansive, impartial approach when they first started taking photographs of
the commonplace yet disappearing mines, water towers and industrial facades across
post-War Germany and Western Europe in the early 1960s, exhibiting the photos in
grids that emphasized patterns and peculiarities in the industrial forms. This
precise and systematic approach to making and exhibiting their work has influenced
a range of both photographers and conceptual artists. In addition to their
typologies, the Bechers made individual, larger-scale photographs of vernacular
industrial structures, often with peculiarities that make them difficult to use in
typologies, buildings that Hilla Becher calls ‘strong characters’. After the recent
passing of Hilla Becher in October, this exhibition represents her last curated
show with the gallery.

DUO SHOW - VIVIANE SASSEN, ZANELE MUHOLI
Viviane Sassen, born in 1972 in Amsterdam; lives and works in Amsterdam
Zanele Muholi, born in 1972 in Umlazi, Durban; lives and works in Johannesburg
Zanele Muholi has been portraying members of the LGBTI community in South Africa and
abroad since 2004, following their vicissitudes in joyful and painful events that
often seem to go hand in hand.
Viviane Sassen’s photographs evoke a sense of displacement and ambiguity. In her
carefully staged scenes nothing is what is seems: references and conventions are
subverted by means of shadows and materials. She is well-known for her performative
‘portraits’ in which the sitters’ features are obscured by shadow, intertwined limbs
echoing intricate sculptures. As it happens with memories or thoughts, her images form
a fluid stream of associations and connections. New work will be exhibited alongside
older, iconic images to offer an overview of the artists’ aesthetic trajectories
over the past decade.

DUO SHOW - FOUAD ELKOURY, STEPHEN WADDELL
Fouad Elkoury, born in 1952 in Paris; lives and works in Paris and Beirut
Stephen Waddell, born 1968 in Vancouver; lives and works in Vancouver
Fouad Elkoury and Stephen Waddell have distinct creative processes that both share
a strong allegiance to literary influences. At the turn of the nineteenth century,
censorship intersected the destinies of two major French literary figures Gustave Flaubert and Charles Baudelaire – from whom the artists draw all their
visual and poetic inspiration. The two-way dialogue, instinct driven - from
photography, literature and poetry, to where past and present, nostalgia and
modernity live forever - exposes the beauty of a world in suspense.
La Suite Egyptian by Fouad Elkoury (1989 and 1990, Cairo and Nile Valley) are among
these dreamed images, drawn from the nostalgic words of Flaubert the voyager,
adventurer, in love with a courtesan dancer. The woman, at least her image, haunts
Nada-Kuchuk; its movement in black and white is already cloud. Landscapes scroll
across the window of a car without age, the recess of a window already warm light
ablaze, and always there, the playing woman, the lying woman lying, the woman from
behind, the dancing woman... Through these sensual dreams Fouad Elkoury builds step
by step, in an unbroken line, a timeless tribute to Egypt infused with Orientalist
narratives. The artist creates a personal fiction between real and imaginary, from
which emerges an Eastern voyage played out in history, between the shore of the dead
and the living.
Investing the city, see at once the spleen and the ideal, the moment and the
eternal human condition, there lays the photographic approach of Stephen Waddell.
The poet, according to Baudelaire, has the duty to "shoot the eternal transient",
to lift the veil that covers the surface of things to reveal the beauties of the
surrounding world. Poet of the city, Baudelaire was able to see in it the
conditions of possibility for a modern poetic approach; he was able to approach the
man in his multiple facets to reveal the beauty of what is there before him, there
in front us. Waddel is a true "painter of modern life". The series, Hunt and Gather
reveals this urban hunt led by the real that blossoms, meticulously framed by the
eye of the photographer. This series depicts the man in the city he inhabits,
records the behaviors and environments that from which they are born–not to face
them, but to stand alongside a state of the world.
TASVEER, Bangalore

SOLO SHOW - JYOTI BHATT
Jyoti Bhatt, born in 1934 in Bhavnagar, India; lives and works in Vadodara, India
Tasveer exhibits a solo show celebrating the life and work of the Indian artist,
Jyoti Bhatt. Though more often recognised as a printmaker, Bhatt has been actively
engaged with photography since the mid-1960s, and his photographs constitute an
important chapter in the history of photography in India.
His work, across media, is invested in the preservation of, and inspired by, the
fast disappearing folk art traditions of India. The majority of his photographs
shown here chronicle Bhatt’s travels through the rural environments in Gujarat,
Rajasthan, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal and Bihar over three
decades; and are occupied with documenting a changing post-independent India, where
incursions of modernity and technology were rapidly erasing older traditions of art
and craft forms.
Having spent many years recording these folk art traditions, Bhatt’s deepened
understanding of their form and aesthetic configurations are also reflected in his
photographic collages. These photo-collages evoke Indian tribal and folk art
through both form and content; and also reflect, in the manner of their
construction, Bhatt’s sensibility as a graphic artist. Free from literal
interpretation, they produce polysomic responses through the obliteration of all
references to reality, indexicality and context in a photograph.

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865
by the Briton Edward Whymper, Zurich’s Artef gallery presents a special exhibition
featuring a selection of black and white vintage photographs (1900 to 1950) of this
legendary mountain photographed by a number of Swiss photographers including the
Frères Charnaux, Emile Gos, Emanuel Gyger and Arnold Klopfestein.
Artef gallery also presents a selection of Swiss photographers. The photomontages
by Xanti Schawinsky, the “enfant terrible” of Bauhaus, reveal a polyhedral artist
who experimented with photograms in a completely abstract manner.
Swiss photojournalism is also compellingly represented with poignant photographs by
Gotthard Schuh and Hans Baumgartner. The winter landscapes of Engadine by
Albert Steiner and the images of winter sports captured by Emil Meerkämper and
Emanuel Gyger. A look at contemporary photography wraps up the exhibition with a

Asymetria presents Surrealism as anti-colonialism in the Polish photography:
Jerzy Lewczyński, Photo–theatre, 1959 and his Negatives found in New York, 1979
and Marek Piasecki, The dolls, 1957-67.
As the contemporary counterpart, the gallery presents the works of the young Polish
artist, Anna Orłowska form the series Leakage (2011)with images and some her new
works such as Tribute to Jerzy Lewczyński (2015) and Homage a Andrzej Wróblewski
(2015). The recent works of Tel-Aviv artist Ronit Porat such as the Hippocampus
series exploring the psychology and history of places and spaces through abandoned
objects will also be presented.
The gallery also presents works from classic Ukraine master, Yevgeniy Pavlov
(co-founder together with Boris Mikhailov of the photographic group Vremya in the
1970s.), his Archive series (1965-1988) and Life Factory (1990).
BENRUBI, New York
SPACIAL FRONTIERS
Exhibited artist: Stéphane Couturier/Karine Laval/Michael Najjar/
Matthew Pillsbury/Massimo Vitali
D46
Spacial Frontiers unites gallery artists: Stéphane Couturier, Michael Najjar and
Matthew Pillsbury in a dialogue of photographic meditations on the politics and
poetics of space.
Michael Najjar’s large format photographs document the artist’s training at various
aerospace training centers in the USA, Germany and Russia and reveal the most
current scientific research and technology in space travel, the final frontier,
(also the subject of the artist’s newly released monograph, outer space, Distanz,
2014.) Najjar intends to become the first artist to travel into space, on the
future suborbital space flight with Virgin Galactic – a commercial spaceflight
program. His otherworldly, surreal images are composites of both his own
experiential research and sourced scientific data, combined to create new
topographies, once science-fiction fantasy these concepts are now the subject of
serious feasibility studies.
Stéphane Couturier presents quite a different investigation of space in his images
of Alstom’s nuclear thermal power and locomotive plants in Belfort, France. Rooted
in documentary photographic practice, Couturier’s images comprise of two images
merged together, employing the retinal persistence effect, where the eye is forced
to keep track of two real visual layers within the same singular image. They speak
of the complexity of the industrial process and the blurring of borders between the
figurative and the abstract. The work questions the notion of time: two temporal
moments, merged to create a new virtual reality, alluding to the continuous
transformative element that is this synthesis, images of industry simultaneously
out of control and in perfect harmony. Couturier has a retrospective at
La Maison Européenne de la Photographie this November in Paris.
Matthew Pillsbury, like Couturier and Najjar, has emerged as one of the most
significant photographers of his generation. Pillsbury, since his earliest images
of subjects watching television and museum going, has been a steadfast observer of
secular ritual within the physical environment and how this manifests as form en
masse in the public arena. The photographs in his recent monograph and accompanying
solo exhibition (City Stages, Aperture, 2013-2014), employ a long exposure
photographic technique, calling attention to the passage of time and people within
spaces both public and private. His work addresses the growing role that technology
is playing in our lives and the sense of modern seclusion that can seem at odds
with the constant connectivity being offered by our smartphones and tablets.
CARLOS CARVALHO, Lisbon
APPROPRIATION & FORMAL DECONSTRUCTION
Exhibited artists: Carla Cabanas/Roland Fischer/Noé Sendas
C36
Carlos Carvalho Arte Contemporanea presents appropriation and formal deconstruction
procedures in photography through three different approaches in art. These works
show how there’s a combinatorial and referential style that changes photographic
reality and marks these artists in a very own language. Noé Sendas’ work presents a
principle of perturbation showing arbitrariness and irregularity in order to
question the aesthetic of regulated form. Carla Cabanas’ carvings and appropriated
landscapes are valued as agents to form a metaphor of the identity loss and the
role of time in failing memory. Roland Fischer removes any real landscape of
architectural renowned buildings reducing them to abstract visual forms that allows
him to produce his own compositions.

STAGED PHOTOGRAPHY
Exhibited artists: James Casebere/Jitish Kallat/David LaChapelle/
Vik Muniz/Pierre et Gilles/Chiharu Shiota
C41
Galerie Templon’s presents a focus on staged photography, and on the painstaking
working process in the studio of three artists: James Casebere, David LaChapelle,
and Pierre et Gilles.
James Casebere, is an American pioneer of "staged photography”, whose architectural
structures, standing lost and alone in the midst of unchanging nature, continue his
examination of the home as the utopian symbol of American society.
David LaChapelle, American photographer whose startling Landscape series, based on
handcrafted scale models, reflects the environmental and ecological concerns that
have marked his work over recent years.
Internationally renowned artistic duo Pierre et Gilles, will unveil, one year after
the success of their portrait of singer Stromae, a series of new pieces they have
worked on together, where painting and photography meet.
30
The gallery will also be presenting for the first time Indian artist
Jitish Kallat’s photographic experiments. In the wake of his new solo show in Paris
The Infinite Episode (on view until Oct 31 at the gallery), the artist plays with
scales and proximities: with the seven-part lenticular photographic work
Sightings D9M4Y2015 close details of the surfaces of fruits and their negatives
begin to appear like telescopic snapshots of cosmic supernova explosions,
contemplating the macro as manifesting within the micro.
DIX9 – HÉLÈNE LACHARMOISE, Paris
THE MATERIALITY OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Exhibited artists: Leyla Cardenas/Sophia Pompery/Sebastian Riemer
A37
Dix9 – Hélène Lacharmoise presents a focus on the materiality of the image and the
layers of time that are simultaneously revealed. This conceptual approach to the
photographic medium unites artists from different cultures. They experiment and
explore the possibilities of the photographic medium using singular methods,
without exterior links, focusing only on their subject: Pompéry performs a
minimalist approach, working its way into the folds of the image illusion when
Riemer and Cardenas have an archeological approach. Riemer works from existing
documents, at times found images, archives or paintings and uses close-up, repro or
negative prints. Cárdenas photographs urban remains right before their
disappearance, in an attempt to reveal the spectrum of time and explore its
sediments. Her artworks featuring images of remains of buildings reflect on
“the decay of the image” and its inability to represent the object or moment to
which it refers.
ERIC DUPONT, Paris
BUT RUNS AWAY IN THE MEANTIME
Exhibited artists: Taysir Batniji/Pascal Convert/Lee Friedlander/
Nicholas Nixon/Mathieu Pernot/Regina Virserius
B41
Time is at the very heart of photography. Suspension, acceleration, concretisation…
are processes attached to this practice, considerations we want to bring to light.
Intimate, Nicholas Nixon’s photography confuses us by its propinquity. Teenagers on
the beach, embraced lovers, lonely sick people, and bedridden moribunds: Nixon
enters lives and faithfully exposes them to us. Though time seems suspended, it is
all about it passing. Time is also at the heart of Mathieu Pernot’s project.
Connecting photographs of Kodak stores from the Sixties with images of those very
places 50 years later, he reveals decay, disappearance and reminiscence.
What remains from photography? There is no more art of photography.
ESTHER WOERDEHOFF, Paris
HANDCRAFTING PHOTOGRAPHY
Exhibited artists: Chema Madoz/PUTPUT/Marc Sommer/Elene Usdin
D48
In our 21st century saturated with images and the ubiquity of digital technologies,
it sometimes seems that everything has already been photographed and that reality
does not offer enough to look at anymore. But in this increasingly virtual world,
some photographers continue to use their imagination and create the subjects of
their images from their own hands, refusing post-production.
The Spanish Chema Madoz composes black and white haikus, the duo PUTPUT magically
transforms household objects, the French Elene Usdin imagines enchanted scenes and
the young Maia Flore creates poetic situations. And Marc Sommer is a real
discovery, one of a few, and the gallery shows his work in exclusivity at Paris
Photo. A self-taught photographer based in Strasbourg, has been working secretly
for several years and has never shown his photographs before. In his color
photographs, he creates absurd scenes with invented objects to set his stories and
characters. A complete novelty, this remarkable work describes a world of paradox,
wild and fanciful but where cruelty and an unexpected humor always lingers.
Chema Madoz, creates his photographs like visual poems, from a vocabulary of
randomly found objects he assembles and opposes to construct unexpected and surreal
encounters. Celebrated at the Rencontres d’Arles in 2014 and represented by the
gallery since its beginnings, the Spanish photographer continues to create a poetic
inventory of his own illusionist reality with beautiful black and white silver
prints and his latest works present at Paris Photo. PUTPUT, an interdisciplinary
art collective composed of Stefan Friedli and Ulrick Martin Larsen. PUTPUT was
created in 2011 and is based in Copenhagen. Their universe is at the intersection
of contemporary photography, sculpture and design. With staggered constructions
where cleaning sponges become popsicles and dusters exotic plants, their works
question our perception of reality and invite us to look differently at our
immediate environment. They renew the genre of still life in a fun and witty humor
that goes with a conceptual and formal research.

ELI LOTAR AND HIS FRIENDS
Exhibited artists: Eli Lotar/Ilse Bing/Erwin Blumenfeld/Germaine Krull/Roger Parry/
Raoul Ubac Umbo/André Steiner/Sasha Stone
Eli Lotar was born in Romanian. He studied in Bucharest before moving to Paris in
1924 to work in film. In 1927 he met German photographer Germaine Krull who became
his companion. He began working in photography and collaborated with the magazines
of the period: Jazz, Variety, or Bifur and Documents. The couple participated in
several exhibitions together. Between 1927 and 1930, his photograph was marked by
the ‘unusual’ and a pessimism that brought him closer to the surrealist group. He
made many films with filmmakers Joris Ivens, Jean Renoir and Jean Painlevé…
Aubervilliers-1945-46 is his only film as a director. Alongside an ensemble of
vintage photographs of Eli Lotar, the gallery offers ten vintage prints by
photographers that Lotar met in 1930s: Ilse Bing, Erwin Blumenfeld, Germaine Krull,
Roger Parry, Raoul Ubac, Umbo, Andre Steiner, Sasha Stone…
Contemporary counterpoint, the gallery will offer an ensemble entitled Margins by
New York artist Mikael Levin. Margins is composed of an album of 10 original
photographs edited by the gallery in 5 copies of black and white photographs and
Pause, a color video presented on small wall screen. Margins were realized in the
artist's studio on West 29th Street in New York between 2007 and 2009.

SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ISSUES
Exhibited artists: Alessandro Balteo Yazbeck/Anna Bella Geiger/Carlos Ginzburg/
Leandro Katz/Jonier Marín/Luis Molina-Pantin/Claudio Perna/Nicolas Schöffer/
Yeni & Nan
Between the mid-1960s and the mid-1980s a wave of harsh military dictatorships
spread throughout many countries in Latin America. As societal and political
limitations bore down upon civilians, artists sought alternative modes of creative
expression as a mean to continue developing artistically while, importantly,
responding to the harsh realities of their current situation. Through their
different series of works, Carlos Ginzburg, Jonier Marin, Leandro Katz, the duo
Yeni & Nan, Alessandro Balteo Yazbeck and Luis Molina-Pantin explore, through
diverse photographic techniques, the effects that globalization, capitalism and
violence had on the body, public space and the natural environment, and
interpersonal communication.
32
In 1972, Carlos Ginzburg embarked on a decade-long project titled the Voyages of
Ginzburg. His voyages took him around the world –including such countries as
Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Egypt– in an attempt to survey and
document how the spread of information and communication systems were affecting
globalization and tourism. Through his various inquiries into the qualities
inherent or ascribed to a given place, and to the borders and norms that govern the
inhabitants or visitors to these places, Ginzburg puts forward a meditation on how
societal power structures can transform physical space and become an unseen
“marker” that is nonetheless intensely felt.
Jonier Marin, Leandro Katz and Yeni & Nan use photography to explore the passage of
time and the relationship to natural environments. Marin’s intervened black and
white photographic series from 1972 depicts modernist buildings in São Paulo being
overtaken by globules of green, symbolizing the vengeance of nature upon humanity
and their sense of progress. Katz’s Lunar Alphabet is composed of 26 progressive
variations of the faces of the moon, starting from the first visible crescent,
through the full moon and ending with the new moon. As seen in his photograph
Lunar Typewriter (1979), each of the 26 individual images was matched to a letter
of the alphabet, which the artist used to compose words, phrases and sentences,
thus inventing a lunar language. Yeni and Nan’s collaboration in the early 80s
focused on the energetic interaction between the body and the environment
surrounding it. The series Symbolismo de la cristalización – Araya (1984-86/2010)
features the artists in the Araya salt flat in Venezuela and is an example of how
they used their bodies as the primary tool for their investigations of nature’s
essential elements.
The indexical works of Luis Molina-Pantin probe popular and material culture,
especially through Venezuela’s recent economic breakdown, showing the
interconnection between economic and material landscapes. The series
28 Piggy Banks from Venezuelan Intervened or Bankrupted Banks (2011), portrays a
biting contradiction: despite the fun, toy-like aspect of these piggy banks,
Venezuela’s inflation rate is the highest in Latin America and the nation’s
currency is essentially useless. Building on the platforms of political and
institutional critique, Alessandro Balteo Yazbeck’s photographs and installations
explore how the use of certain technologies can both shape and influence cultural
and societal beliefs. His Standard Creole with Bikini, 1940s (2006-09) portrays the
early evolution of oil culture and prosperity in Venezuela through archival images
of oil rigs in the Maracaibo lake, new schools built to accommodate workers’
children, and ultimately, the exploitation of land and labor represented by
prostitution.
Dealing with themes of globalization, social and political landscapes,
institutional critique and personal expression, these bodies of work remain utterly
relevant in today’s society and for today’s audiences. They offer unique
perspectives on Latin American history of the last fifty years and show how art
played a crucial role in interpreting its events and sentiments. With these works,
the artists have not only left their innovative marks, but have created a visual
bridge that connects their past and their fervor with our present and our search
for greater understanding

NATURAL RE-VISIONS
Exhibited artists: Adou/Wensheng Dong/Lei Han/Lei Hong/Wang Ningde/Feiming Shan/
Wenhuan Shao
M97 Shanghai is pleased to propose a group exhibition of works by four prominent
contemporary photography artists from China: Adou, HAN Lei,
SHAO Wenhuan, and WANG Ningde.
Linked to the Darwinian concept of ‘natural selection’ M97’s Natural Re-Visions
presentation offers a re-envisioning of what imagery and photographic art practice
can be in today’s world. All the artists and photographers in this proposal are
working with innovative processes and techniques or reinventing and reinterpreting
the medium based on past traditions.
Central to this theme, the subject matter of these works all relate to the natural
world. From Wang Ningde’s sculptural photographic light installations made up of
thousands of pieces of transparency films; to Han Lei’s 3-D lenticular triptychs of
bonsai trees; from Shao Wenhuan’s hand-painted canvas and emulsion photographs to
Adou’s composed silver gelatin assemblages of leaves, grass, and other materials,
this focused and powerful presentation of Chinese artists is an intriguing and
informative contemporary take on the trends and innovative breakthroughs in today’s
contemporary artistic practice.

The Gallery presents the series Dark Tourism by Ambroise Tezenas. Recently
exhibited at Rencontres Photographiques d’Arles, this work is the subject of two
books, Tourisme de la désolation by Actes Sud editions and Dark Tourism by
Dewi Lewis, and enjoys extensive media coverage in France and abroad. Places of
natural disasters or wars, crime scenes, disaster areas, the list of these desolate
places accessible to tourists continues to grow. The point that they have in
common: death, danger, visible scars and most of all a proximity in time that makes
drama tangible. Ambroise Tezenas questions this confusing attraction to the
macabre.
Several photographs by Philippe Chancel from his series Workers and Datazone rely
on this same documentary vein. Datazone, work in progress for which the
photographer explores different regions of the world including North Korea, Dubai,
Fukushima, and the Niger Delta, reveals “accurate detailed images, stripped of
stylistic effects and poses. The photographer sticks to reality, his images avoid
the pitfall of exoticism or other forms of sensationalism.”
Alongside this exhibition about documentary photography, the second part of the
booth shows more artistic images: Blow Up series by Patrick Tourneboeuf, a sequence
of de l’Air ou l’Optique by Silvana Reggiardo, many sublimated objects by
Edgar Martins and black monochromes by Jean-Claude Pondevie.

THE BODY AND PERFORMATIVITY IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Exhibited artists: Natsumi Hayashi/Tomoaki Ishihara/Yasumasa Morimura/Tomoko Sawada
For Paris Photo 2015, MEM will be holding an exhibition showcasing artists whose
work center around the theme of the body: bodily gestures as well as the body’s
relationship with time and space, and studies of bodily expressions in particular
situations. Many of the featured artists specialize in self-portraiture which focus
on their own bodily expressions. Their work can be considered as a kind of closed
performance carried out in studios or production sites.
Through portraiture, Yasumasa Morimura has made references to historical paintings
with the entire or partial use of his own body. His series dedicated to the study
of hands focuses on hand expressions of figures depicted in Matthius Grünewald’s
Crucifixion, Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, and Michelangelo’s paintings on the
Sistine Chapel ceiling.
By presenting photographs of herself jumping in mid-air as incidents of herself
levitating, free from gravity, Natsumi Hayashi’s Today’s Levitation series sheds
light on the capacities of photography which stands at the interface of scientific
fact and fiction, In Facial Signature, Tomoko Sawada presents 300 different
versions of her own face. Inspired by her experience of living in New York, the
work focuses on how an Asian woman’s face influences both Western and Asian
societies.
Tomoaki Ishihara questions the fundamentals of photography and sculpture as an art
form. From the early 2000s, the artist began creating a series of self-portraits,
in which he created leather sculptures without a pedestal that suspended from his
mouth as an extension of his body. His photographic work presents an experimental
situation, one in which the artist becomes the artwork and at the same time the
artwork is subordinate to the artist himself, functioning as a study of the
relationship between the artwork and the artist and also the artwork and the
viewer, from both ends of the relationship.
Through the work of the above mentioned artists, the exhibition will consider how,
the body and bodily gestures, through experimental practices, are consummated as a
work of photography.

Michael Hoppen is pleased to present Masahisa Fukase’s iconic Bukubuku series at
Paris Photo 2015. Fukase is widely regarded as one of the pre-eminent Japanese
photographers of the postwar period, and internationally famed for
The Solitude of Ravens. Bukubuku is a personal and unique series of self-portraits
taken in Fukase’s bathtub over a two-month period with a Nikonos camera. It is his
last ever published photobook and the prints have never been seen outside of Japan
prior to Paris Photo 2015. An extraordinary contemporary performance artwork, the
series presents a whimsical if somewhat morbid game of solitaire that charts new
territory for the photographic self-portrait.
The entire set of Bukubuku will be exhibited at Tate Modern in 2015. The theme of
Performance binds the concept of the Michael Hoppen Gallery stand, and includes an
entire wall which records the rise of punk culture in the United Kingdom with press
photographs from Rex Images, whose tattered object quality mimics the movement they
document. Rare vintage prints by Kati Horna are also on display. Documenting her
years in Mexico, the images capture her friends and fellow artists in theatrical
and surrealist compositions.
The Michael Hoppen Gallery presents also Eamonn Doyle’s new photobook, ON. His
subjects stand out and strike out against their environments, often looming against
skies in a way that speaks of possibility even as they nurse wounds or eye each
other suspiciously. Following upon his acclaimed series ‘i’, this second body of
work re-invents the often tired concept of street photography.

CONCEPT AND METHODS
Exhibited artists: Kilian Breier/Detlef Orlopp/Timm Rautert/Otto Steinert
Parrotta presents Kilian Breier, Detlef Orlopp, Timm Rautert and their teacher
Otto Steinert for his 100TH ANNIVERSARY. Otto Steinert has been an influencial
teacher of photography from 1948-1959 at Saarbrücken. He also has been very
important as a curator in post-war Germany and created the famous exhibition
triology Subjektive Photographie.
The Gallery exhibits only rare vintages created in the late 1950s until early
1970s. Kilian Breier was one of the leading impulse providers for Concrete and
Generative Photography since the1950s. On view are also works from Detlef Orlopp’s
seascapes series, begun in 1972 and works by Timm Rautert, widely known for his
ground-breaking project Bildanalytische Photographie, a grammer of photography,
which is part of numerous prominent museum collections.

ABOUT PORTRAIT & MEDIUM
Exhibited artists: Virgile Ittah/Laurent Millet/Robert et Shana Parke Harrison
Particuliere/Foucher-Biousse presents a thematic show focusing on the portrait and
the medium questioning the self and the practice of photography, i.e. the medium on
which the image is printed and one of its first characteristics: its
reproducibility.
On the subject of the artist himself, the gallery presents two series by prizewinner of the prestigious 2015 Niepce Award French artist Laurent Millet, born in
1968. In his iconic series about a roaming and daydreaming man from the late 90’s,
My Story with Stones made up of photos realized from different tracing papers, the
photographer, through writing and lines, becomes directly part of his artwork.
Through the Somnium series of Ambrotypes, began in 2014, Laurent Millet shows us
the artist facing his work-to-be.
French visual artist Virgile Ittah, born in 1981 (lives in London), questions the
persistence of her artworks and their images. The Ambrotypes, sculpted portraits
(self-portraits) made of wax, differ with every shooting. These photos are
developed on glass plates and the artist makes them evanescent through a chemical
process till the sculptures’ features are completely melt into the medium which
gave life to them. Through a series of studies by Shana&Robert Parkeharrison, the
gallery explores from the inside the creative act together with the poetic thought
of these photographers. The images, often heterogeneous, are made from collages of
different photos, treated with wax, varnished, enhanced with washing and black
printing inks or even acrylic.

SPACE
Exhibited artists: Wim Wenders/Jacob Aue Sobol/Alexander Gronsky/William Klein/
Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre/Sebastião Salgado/Toshio Shibata
Much the same as in theater, photography makes use of scenic space (the space
captured by the photographer when they are framing the image), as well as the use
of real space, whatever is out of frame. It is the link between these two spaces
that is examined in this presentation.
The new series Cyclopaedia, launched in Saint-Petersburg by Alexander Gronsky, then
continued in Japan and Israël, is composed of diptychs, whereas Gronsky’s past work
Cyclopaedia focused on landscape and photographed with a large format camera,
juxtaposes two images - shot in the same location but at a different angles - with
a 35mm camera, casting doubts on what is real and what is fake. Deviating from the
conventional codes of Street Photography, Gronsky invites the viewer to a new level
of reality.
With the Theaters series launched in 2006, Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre provide a
typology of American movie theater. After systematically photographing abandoned
theaters with a large format camera, today they focus on the old mecca of culture
sacrificed on the altar of fast-profit, transformed into gyms or supermarkets. The
result is a surreal set of images overlapping and inducing the emergence of two
spaces – the grand past and the present consumerism.
William Klein, with his acute sense of framing, renewed photography in the sixties.
His work translates the energy of the city condensed in this New York and Tokyo
series, in night views of city lights and movie theaters. In the same vein as
William Klein’s photo-journal, Danish photographer Jacob Aue Sobol boards in 2012
the Trans-Siberian for an introspective photographic journey in Arrivals &
Departures series.
In response to this singular use of photography – a direct opposition to the
Provoke Era – Toshio Shibata offers a photography in the third person. His series
Night Photographs is a set of images taken at night, when the real world wears off
and becomes a universal space free of any structural markers.
Places of the Mind - recent works by Wim & Donata Wenders presents photographs
realized by the couple during the production of the last movie of the German film
maker: Everything Will Be Fine. This project highlights the artistic complicity
between Wim Wenders and his wife Donata since their encounter in the 1990s.
And in an Off selection, Sebastião Salgado presents for the first time a unique
piece from Migrations series and exhibits an exclusive portfolio of 20 prints from
the series Other America.

Robert Hershkowitz Ltd specialises in masterworks of the earliest European
photography and for Paris Photo 2015, the gallery is exhibiting images made by
British and French photographers made mainly between the 1840’s and 1860. The
gallery is featuring a number of early photographs of Paris, including one of the
earliest of Paris, taken by the inventor of the negative/positive process,
William Henry Fox Talbot in 1843. Other early photographs of Parisian scenes
include works by the important photographers, Charles Marville and Edouard Baldus.
The gallery is showing two large and magnificent photographs taken in Egypt by
Francis Frith in 1857, of pyramids and of Philae, and two fine winter scenes in
Russia by Scherer and Nabholz dating to the 1850’s. Other photographs being shown
include the works of major innovative artists such as Julia Margaret Cameron (her
son Henry), Roger Fenton (Salisbury Cathedral), Gustave Le Gray (Rome) and
Linnaeus Tripe (Burma). The gallery features also some of the earliest photographs
of scenes of life in Iran in the nineteenth century taken by Antoine Sevruguin.

THE POLITICS IMAGE REPRESENTATION THROUGH THE PHOTOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES
Exhibited artists: Milagros de la Torre/Humberto Rivas/Graciela Sacco/
Gabriel Valansi
D23
In the contemporary world, artists do not often utilize photography as a mean to
produce an image; instead they use the image as an instance in which to deconstruct
the photographic language. The artists selected for Paris Photo 2015 are recognized
within the Latin American photography tradition, but where their defining
commitment to social reality cannot be reduced to the reiteration of the well-known
documentary reportage. Instead, they are able to reinvent and strengthen their
approach to photography by investigating the multiple layers of its own language.
Traditional documentary photography relies on the ability of an issue to convey a
message in order to raise awareness. These artists do not believe in Photorealism.
They look forward to the quest of a new beauty, which through their tensions and
ambiguities, appeals to the senses and feelings of the viewer. They rely on
sensitivity (aisthēsis) as a mean of transforming or questioning of the ways in
which we perceive and inhabit reality (and the images) that surround us. If their
art is political, it becomes so by the materials and methods chosen. This is
achieved in the ways they occupy or sabotage foreign images and also through the
ways in which they dispose the elements in space. All in all, their art is
political because it is presented as a decision making place, and as a
mise en scène of subjective alternatives, able to defy standardized or predictable
modes that conform our daily affections.

FROM GENERATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY TO DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Exhibited artists: Dan Holdsworth/Ursel Jäger/Gottfried Jäger/Michael Reisch
"The aim of generative aesthetics is the artificial production of probabilities of
innovation or deviation from the norm." (Max Bense) Generative photography was an
important and long neglected artistic movement in the 1960s in Germany and at the
same time the birth of computer aesthetic and cybernetic art, which retrospectively
can be regarded as the beginning of the discourse on data images and digital
photography.
Among the pioneers and mentors of the group of generative photographers was the
Austrian artist Herbert W. Franke who became also the founder of Ars Electronica
in Linz as well as the Stuttgart based philosopher Max Bense who defined the term
"generative aesthetics". Based on this philosophical term, Kunsthaus Bielefeld
opened the legendary group show Generative Fotografie presenting works by
Gottfried Jäger, Hein Gravenhorst, Kilian Breier and Pierre Cordier in 1968.
Generative photography articulates the idea of artistic constructivism onto which
has been grafted the numerical programming of apparative systems as for example the
pinhole structures by Jäger. Jäger and Karl Martin Holzhäuser were teaching the
theory of generative photography over decades at Werkkunstschule Bielefeld and
published in 1975 the manifesto-like compendium Generative Fotografie. The notion
"to play against the apparatus" by theorist and philosopher Villém Flusser set the
tone for this particular style of photography. The yearly symposiums on photography
in Bielefeld have become legendary over the course of thirty years and have
transmitted ideas, which have radiated on the art of younger generation artists
such Michael Reisch and Dan Holdsworth.
SCHEUBLEIN + BAK re juxtaposed to digital camera-less photography of the most
cutting edge contemporary artists such as Dan Holdsworth and Michael Reisch who
developed the idea of generative photography to the age of digital art.

SUZANNE TARASIÈVE, Paris
LES CHOSES DE LA VIE
Exhibited artists: Delphine Balley/Stanislas Guigui/Boris Mikhailov/
Jeffrey Silverthorne/Mikhael Subotzky/Juergen Teller
C37
The Gallery presents the works of Delphine Balley, Jeffrey Silverthorne,
Boris Mikhailov and Juergen Teller around the theme of a film by Claude Sautet,
Things of Life (1970). The film begins with a violent car accident shattering the
life of the main character, who in the light of the event reconsiders his whole
life. The works evoke the time when life changes, where a shock, happy or unhappy,
separating it into two parts: before and after.
In the photography of Delphine Balley, Assassination, two contradictory events
coincide: the wedding, and the murder of the bride, who suddenly wiped out a life
that promised to be happy. Following the same concept, Stanislas Guigui photographs
depict knife fights between men in poor neighborhoods of Bogota. The left hand
opponents are attached by a scarf that forces them to stay close, within reach of
the brilliance of the knife in an instant slice a life. A life can also switch for
reasons that are external, crushed by the mechanisms of history. This is the harsh
reality that Boris Mikhailov shows in his series Case History made in Kharkov in
1997, in a neighborhood where all the inhabitants, who worked for the state, were
expelled. There is thus seen two women, mother and daughter, forced into
prostitution to support themselves. Others survive outside homeless in freezing
winter. Mikhailov shows how thousands of lives have switched when the Soviet bloc
collapsed. But a turning point in life is not necessarily linked to unhappiness.
The black and white photographs of Jeffrey Silverthorne show us the transvestites
with whom he associated in the 70s at the crucial moment of their processing, the
day they become woman. This life shift is still widely viewed as scandalous, and
the glow of challenge or humor in the eyes of the models remains a response to the
judgment they receive.
Finally, after sex and death, it’s life that transforms us. The birth of a child
marks a life, turns it over on all levels. This is what Juergen Teller shows his
photo I Love my Wife in which appears the rounded belly of his pregnant wife, and
his own beer-lover belly. A second photo, a self-portrait with his son in his arms,
also refers to this idea. Children change the life of the artist as much as they
enter into the artist’s work from their birth and regularly thereafter.

Nelli Palomäki/Mikko Rikala/Mikko Sinervo/Santeri Tuori/Iveta Vaivode/Niina Vatanen
Paris Photo 2015 represents a new milestone for Gallery Taik Persons. The gallery
proposes an installation that questions and challenges the new frontiers of
photography, both formally and technically.
The Gallery presents thematic exhibition curated around two central themes.
On the one hand, Nordic Abstraction is presented through a number of artists who
through their technical experimentation are examining form, colour, pattern and
texture.
On the other hand, the gallery presents a strand of younger artists working
consistently with conceptual usages of the photograph. Whether picking up certain
fluxus strands or highlighting the intangible, these artists present the very
freshest of contemporary conceptual photography from the Helsinki School.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE FEMININE
Exhibited artists: Laure Albin Guillot/Hans Bellmer/Denise Bellon/
Edouard Boubat/Louve Delfieu/Flor Garduno/Raoul Hausmann/Béatrice Helg/
Man Ray/Robert Mapplethorpe/Gabriela Morawetz/Barbara Morgan/Dawn Ng/
Loan Nguyen/Emile Joachim Constant Puyo/Raoul Ubac/
Valérie Winckler/Wolfgang Wols/Sophie Zénon
Thessa Herold Gallery celebrates women as models or photographers.
The female body and face remain a plastic subject by excellence. Male photographers
express their fascination and desire of women through their portraits while women
photographers mainly approach their models either politically or socially.
Hans Bellmer, Louve Delfieu, Flor Garduño, Raoul Hausmann, Robert Mapplethorpe,
Man Ray, Gabriela Morawetz and Raoul Ubac show the particular and constant
attention that have brought artists to the female figure in the early days of
photography. While men were the forerunners of this medium, women have gradually
managed to become artists in their own right.
Laure Albin-Guillot, Denise Bellon, Barbara Morgan, Valérie Winckler and
Sophie Zénon come complete in their own way this female panorama.
The gallery gives particular attention to Beatrice Helg’s works Cosmos.
XIPPAS, Paris
DISTORTIONS
Exhibited artists: Darren Almond/Rhona Bitner/Petros Chrisostomou/
Valérie Jouve/Panos Kokkinias/Vera Lutter/Vik Muniz
C17
By putting together seven photographers from different countries, Xippas gallery
presents a selection of works reflecting the distortion of the image. The exhibited
photographs, based on distorted or deformed visions, challenge the realistic
representation.
Following the collage and photomontage tradition, Vik Muniz recomposes images by
using hundreds of fragments of other pictures, thus creating a visual
stratification. In her urban photographs, Valerie Jouve focuses on the reflections
of the shiny facades of buildings. Vera Lutter and Darren Almond focus on the
specificities of the photographic medium. Lutter’s works, created by using the
camera obscura technique, and those by Darren Almond, based on the moonlight,
reveal different states of spatiotemporal perception. Following another procedure,
in the Circus series, Rhona Bitner shows the distortion of the photographed bodies.

HIGHLIGHTS
ATHR, Jeddah
Exhibited artists: Ahmed Mater/Hazem harb/Aymand Yossari

D11
Ahmed Mater’s scanned x-rays reprinted onto backlit film push the boundaries and
potentials of what Islamic art might mean in a contemporary context. Whilst we are
given privileged access to their inner form, we are reminded that we are
essentially slightly modified versions of the same structure— the skeletal images
suggesting some elemental form of humanity, stripped of the skin, hair, eyes and
clothes that differentiate as well as separate us. The human X-ray and the text
become fully engaged one with the other, a striking contrast tightening the
intensity of the word-filled broken bones, the hands and the almost tender
vulnerability of the skeletal neck and spine.
Palestinian artist Hazem Harb captures photographs of collages overlapped from preexisting photographers. The multi-layering and photography is Harb’s attempt at
referencing modernism in relation to architecture: the photographs show a landscape
devoid of people thus representing a biblical landscape while the concrete cut outs
preempt the arrival within the horizon of the cities of colonial modernizing
concrete. Harb's work is not only a nuanced affirmation of an irony of the
existence of humans without land, but also of a land without humans, conditioned
and created by humans themselves.
Palestinian artist Ayman Yossri explores notions of human belonging and identity
within his Subtitle series. The work is compiled of scenes in which a Palestinian
woman with American nationality is antagonistically searched at a check-point in
Palestinian. The language, when deducted from its cruel context and re-exported
with the new still captured photo, changes its function from confirming meaning to
producing it, by transforming itself into a unique source of new mental images.

Pictet nominee Ori Gersht. For the first time at Paris Photo Ben brown also
exhibits work by Awol Erizku.
BENDANA | PINEL, Paris
C45
Exhibited artists: Niklas Goldbach/Pablo Lobato/Caio Reisewitz/Miguel Rothschild
The apparent truth: Illusion is a false interpretation of the real world.
Bendana Pinel Art Contemporain presents works that oscillate between two
perceptions without opting for one interpretation since each is possible. The
photographs of Caio Reisewitz raise the question of right and wrong, the natural
and the artificial, the reflection of reality and the artist's interpretation.
Miguel Rothschild focuses on metaphorical works, perforating photographs to reveal
new spaces, pinning, and tacking to provide three-dimensionality.
Niklas Goldbach's work revolves around antagonisms, such as standardization and
individuality, ostentation and sobriety. Pablo Lobato works on the sense of touch
through images. The photograph shows a traumatic event, far from idealistic
representation.
BERNHEIMER, Munich

Exhibited artists: Lucien Clergue/Annie Leibovitz/Julien Schnabel/Toni Schneiders/
Jeanloup Sieff
Bernheimer presents French photographer Lucien Clergue (1934 – 2014) in cooperation
with his estate. The small retrospective will feature works from all periods during
his long lasting career from 1953 until 2007, including vintage prints from early
periods and unique Polaroids. The Photographer is the founding father of the
Rencontres d’Arles and his photographs are part of numerous well-known museum and
private collections. This year, during Paris Photo, an exhibition will open at the
Grand Palais curated by François Hébel and Christian Lacroix concentrating on his
first albums.
The Gallery also presents a selection of classic and contemporary photography
setting a strong focus on works by French Photographer Jeanloup Sieff (1933-2000).
His works will be completed by photographes from the American artist Annie
Leibovitz, the new portrait series of Jan C. Schlegel. Additionally Bernheimer
will exhibit Arctica landscape photographs by American Adventurer and Photographer
Sebastian Copeland with his recently released book Arctica – The Vanishing North.
BO BJERGGAARD, Copenhagen
Exhibited artists: Per Bak Jensen/Erik Steffensen/Janaina Tschäpe
D32
Gallery Bo Bjerggaard presents an exhibition by two acclaimed Danish artists: Erik
Steffensen and Per Bak Jensen, as well as New York-based artist Janiana Tschäpe.
Per Bak Jensen is a pioneer in his field. In his tireless search for photographic
expression, he has created a number of photographic series which establish him as
one of the most important art photographers in Scandinavia. For Bak Jensen, who
never manipulates his images, it is essential to catch a certain timelessness
which, in his own words, captures “the being of places”. In the work Titel Savnes
(Title Missing), Per Bak Jensen combines 12 photographs into one larger piece. The
fragmented work portrays defiance, resistance and fragility at the same time.
Erik Steffensen works are classical black and white photographs which evinces his
original background as a painter. His motifs are often found under foreign skies.
In Steffensen’s latest works from the series New York, New York, his focus is on
two iconic city landmarks: the Fuller Building nicknamed the Flatiron Building and
Lady Liberty. Steffensen’s body of work explores places and phenomena that are part
of contemporary mythology. The works are full of atmospheric effect, soft tones and
simple shapes.
Janiana Tschäpe works investigates the artistic alternation between the formally
based focus and an interest in the field of a utopia, a super natural, an
idealistic place. In her work The Space Between Us natural growths are equated with
balloon-like shapes; man-made elements in various shapes which points into a
universe of abstraction. The meeting results in a kind of artistic magic realism
gone mad; a longing for the fantastic where everything is possible.

Exhibited artists: Gilbert Garcin/Jungjin Lee/Hervé Lucien/Arno Rafael Minkkinen/
Sarah Moon/Bernard Plossu/Patrick Taberna/Shoji Ueda
Camera Obscura presents a set of photographs by Harry Callahan of his wife Eleanor.
This work is certainly one of the finest tributes the photographer devoted to his
wife. Gilbert Garcin also photographed his wife in a different perspective. The
artist takes the stage in a duet with delicious visual metaphors on married life,
its gentle absurdities and its main principles. Also following the theme in a
tribute to their wives, are works by Shoji Ueda, Bernard Plossu,
Arno Rafael Minkkinen...
After the exceptional reception of his work Unnamed Road, the Gallery also presents
news works from the series Everglades by Korean artist Lee Jungjin.

and a portfolio by Peter Keetman consisting of 10 works.
CHRISTOPHE GAILLARD, Paris
Exhibited artists: Rachel De Joode/Hannah Whitaker/Letha Wilson
B23
Particularly involved in a photographic field where the classical use of the medium
is mistreated in favor of experiments as diverse as rewarding (Pierre Molinier,
Miroslav Tichy, Arnulf Rainer), the Galerie Christophe Gaillard confirms, amplifies
and states its commitment to a new generation of artists amongst which
Hannah Whitaker, Letha Wilson or Rachel De Joode are the most innovative
representatives. Following in the footsteps of the ICP exhibition in New York What
is a Photograph? or that of the Centre Photographique d'Île de France À l’envers, à
l’endroit, the Galerie Christophe Gaillard presents works by these three artists
and leads us to a new photographic image, resolutely contemporary, since they
question both form and content in the making of an image today. The photographic
film isn’t an idol anymore in front of which the worshippers of the sun kneel (cf.
Baudelaire/Isabelle Le Minh). The development of digital photography and the
seeming obsolescence of film photography have opened a field of investigation that
questions the very essence of photography, its ontologic nature.
Today, a photographic image is not necessarily a trace of ‘that which was’ in front
of the camera. For digital revolution has come along, upsetting the situation by
freeing the medium from its assignment to represent reality. To allow ‘the humble
servant of the arts’ (and of many other things as well) to finally stand for
itself, there was only a short step. Coming from different backgrounds, these
artists have turned their back to the dogma of indexability, they acknowledge other
qualities to a photograph and - even if they sometimes push it around as to better
understand its essence -they take it for what it is: a material to work on, an
autonomous object that unfolds in space, is freed from its frame and offers a
surface with depth. - Isabelle Le Minh (Extract from the One Step Beyond press
release, Galerie Christophe Gaillard, 2014).
DAVID ZWIRNER, New York
Exhibited artists: Philip-Lorca diCorcia/Thomas Ruff/James Welling
B32
David Zwirner presents a selection of gallery artists, including Philip-Lorca
diCorcia, Stan Douglas, Thomas Ruff, and James Welling.
Philip-Lorca diCorcia creates images poised between documentary and theatrically
staged photography, between fact and fiction. His practice takes everyday
occurrences beyond the realm of banality, infusing insignificant gestures with
psychology and emotion.
Stan Douglas creates films and photographs that reexamine particular locations or
past events. Using both new and outdated technologies, he appropriates Hollywood
genres (including murder mysteries and the Western) and borrows from classic
literary works (notably, Samuel Beckett, Herman Melville, and Franz Kafka).
Thomas Ruff explores a breadth of themes that is reflected in the range of
techniques he employs: analogue and digital exposures taken by the artist exist
alongside computer generated imagery, photographs from scientific archives, and
pictures culled and manipulated from newspapers, magazines, and the Internet.
James Welling has been questioning the norms of representation since the 1970s. His
work centers on an exploration of photography, shuffling the elemental components
of the medium to produce a distinctly uncompromising body of work. Welling is also
intensely interested in cultural and personal ideas of memory in his work.

Document Art Gallery presents three contemporary Latin American photographers who
each approach the medium in a different way, but who all have strong conceptual
threads in their work: Andrés Orjuela (Colombian, lives in Mexico City),
Luz María Bedoya (Peruvian, lives in Lima), and Zoé T. Vizcaíno (Mexican, lives in
Madrid). Founded in 2009, Document Art Gallery is a Latin American project that
combines conceptual and experimental artists from the 1960s and 1970s with new
contemporary perspectives. The objective of this combination is to create a bridge
between these generations, and therefore a dialogue about the relationship between
their artworks and artistic practices within the South American idiosyncrasy.
Furthermore, the gallery has an archive of original documents (manifestos,
publications, photographs etc) specialized in the avant-garde movements that
emerged in the continent from the 1940s onwards.
DU JOUR AGNES B., Paris
B11
Exhibited artists: Bovet Emanuel/Samuel Gratacap/Lucien Hervé/Rinko Kawauchi/
Seydou Keïta/Jonas Mekas/Bollendorff Samuel/Malick Sidibé/Massimo Vitali
Galerie du jour agnès b. has been supporting Photography and photographers since
its early creation in 1984. Its history is rich of meetings and discoveries of
artists opening new territories. From panAfrican to the American Youth photography,
the wide spectrum and eclecticism of our gallery makes it a 'laboratory' open
towards a wide field of possibilities. For this new edition and as previously, a
selection of the artists represented by our gallery is exhibited, as well as some
'discoveries'.
EAST WING, Doha
B36
Exhibited artists: Philippe Chancel/Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger/
Cédric Delsaux/Sarker Protick/Robert Zhao Renhui/Christto Sanz & Andrew Weir/
Phillip Toledano
Presenting a series of works composed of intriguing narratives, East Wing asks
audiences to become complicit in the ultimate crime of illusion. The artists
exhibited use photography to negotiate their questions, beliefs and ideas about
reality. Using fiction, contrasted with the optical precision of the camera the
images introduce authentic moments where illusion is not recognized as such, but as
an alternative or re-visit of reality. The sense of play and blurring of boundaries
resoundingly reflects a fascination with spectacle.
EDWYNN HOUK, New York
A30
Exhibited artists: Gail Albert-Halaban/Valérie Belin/Ilse Bing/
Erwin Blumenfeld/Bill Brandt/Brassaï/Sebastiaan Bremer/Elliott Erwitt/
Lalla Essaydi/Sissi Farassat/Robert Frank/André Kertész/Mona Kuhn/Man Ray/
Sally Mann/Michael Eastman/Tina Modotti/Abelardo Morell/Vik Muniz/
Cathleen Naundorf/Robert Polidori/Herb Ritts/Stephen Shore/Edward Weston
Edwynn Houk Gallery exhibits the history of modern and contemporary photography
through a carefully selected group of masterworks in the medium. Unique and rare
vintage photographs present alongside mid-century and contemporary examples in an
effort to create a dialogue between the eras and establish a method
of understanding the visual vocabulary, styles, resources, philosophies and
influences that unite these artists and continue to percolate throughout the
history of photography. Furthermore, this juxtaposition of historical
and contemporary photographs presents a framework in order to discern, appreciate,
and understand each artist’s individuality and distinctive contribution to the
field.
Vintage photographs dating from 1917-1939, with an emphasis on the Modernist era,
illustrate the way in which the New Vision and more experimental forms of
photography were embraced for the first time. Key examples by Bill Brandt, Man Ray,
Alfred Stieglitz, and Brassaï are included. The gallery presents also a selection
of iconic mid-century works by Robert Frank, Danny Lyon, and Lee
Friedlander. Photographs by contemporary artists such as Valerie Belin,
Sally Mann, Abelardo Morell, and Sebastiaan Bremer have been chosen for their
unique vision, as well as a strong connection to modernist photography.
ERIC FRANCK, London
C40
Exhibited artists: Kiichi Asano/Cecil Beaton/Henri Cartier-Bresson/

Gaspar Gasparian/Heinz Hajek-Halke/Chris Killip/Karen Knorr/Josef Koudelka/
Marketa Luskacova/Norman Parkinson/Graham Smith/Al Vandenberg/Tom Wood
Erick Franck presents a selection of work by Heinz Hajek-Halke (1898-1983) who was
part of the “subjective photography” movement in post-war Germany. Hajek-Halke was
known for using experimental photographic techniques – among them light montages,
double exposures, photo collages and photomontages. His pictures were innovative
and made use of the newly discovered possibilities for manipulating photographs.
The gallery also exhibits a selection of masterpieces of 20th century photography,
which includes works by: Kiichi Asano who documented Kyoto and its traditions at a
time when the historical city was transforming into a metropolis. As well as some
of his most important photographic essays which include Snow Country 1955-1958,
where he documented the rural life in Echigo, the Noto Peninsula and the Tōhoku
region; and The Gion Quarter which Asano photographed at several points in his
career; Cecil Beaton, who is best known for his fashion photographs and society
portraits, and who was one of the pre-eminent British photographers of the
twentieth century; as well as a selection of classical works by Josef Koudelka,
Henri Cartier-Bresson), Gaspar Gasparian, Geraldo de Barros, Gérard Castello-Lopes,
Thomas Farkas and Norman Parkinson.

Since its foundation, in 1999, Galeria Filomena Soares’ main objective is to foster
contemporary artistic production, by nurturing a productive dialogue between
artists, curators and institutions. Throughout its 15 years of existence, the
gallery, representing artists of different generations and nationalities, has
played a key role in the Portuguese and in the international art scenes and
continuously contributed to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary art.
Considering the importance of Paris Photo in the international art scene and the
breadth of the event, Galeria Filomena Soares extends its participation towards the
creation of an active discussion platform between artists, curators, critics and
public. For this edition of Paris Photo the gallery continues stating our
commitment to discover, promote and nurture young artists but also to support the
production of well-known and highly acclaimed ones, with works scoping a myriad of
uses and approaches to contemporary art.

FLATLAND, Amsterdam
C47
Exhibited artists: Katharine Cooper/Jeroen Robert Kramer/Anoek Steketee/
Ruud van Empel/Paolo Ventura
Flatland Gallery presents works focusing on the space between representation and
expression as felt and exhibited by Katharine Cooper, Ruud van Empel,
Jeroen Robbert Kramer, Anoek Steketee and Paolo Ventura. Their work eloquently
reminds us that a photograph is as much a representation of the maker as it is of
the ostensible subject.
The Love Radio project by Anoek Steketee is about grasping the careful hope of both
the Tutsis and the Hutus in Rwanda in the perspective of peace building in this
conflict prone community. Love Radio is a transmedia project and consists of a web
documentary, mobile Tap stories and photographs. Yet it does not only have a purely
documentary character; her personal approach brings light to the faces of her
subjects; an intensity into the pictures and a logical darkness to their
surroundings: the dusty sand floors with all its different browns. It is thus
that Love Radio has also become a beautiful story of possible resilience of any
people by giving a luminous beauty to the pensiveness of her subjects. Part of
Love Radio was exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
FLOWERS, London - NEW EXHIBITOR
C3
Exhibited artists : Boomoon/Julie Cockburn/Nadav Kander/Jason Larkin/Tom Lovelace/
Simon Roberts/Michael Wolf

Flowers brings together new works that blur the intersection between observed
reality, constructed photography, appropriation and found objects. From the
sculptural to the sociological, this is a cross section of works that encourages
wanderings across modes of photographic practice.
Tom Lovelace’s interdisciplinary practice explores the architecture of time and
light, along with studies of function and form through unexpected manipulations of
everyday materials and industrial objects. Untitled Red (date unknown - 2014) is a
naturally occurring photogram created using sections of felt, which were once hung
on the exterior walls of a theatre in Spoleto, Italy. In taking common support
structures, such as the picture frame or the stool, Lovelace re-organizes and
subverts their functional hierarchies. Works such as Stargazing, 2015 and
Monteluco Sole, 2013 collapse the notion of the object’s usefulness altogether their formal reduction showcases what Lovelace has called a further ‘controlled
slippage’ into a minimal, abstract image plane.
Michael Wolf is known for his long term documentation of Hong Kong’s vernacular
architecture and back alley sensibilities. Through typologies of everyday found
objects Wolf is building an alternative encyclopedia of informal design
arrangements. Industrial #26 depicts the reverse side of a building, its pipes and
air conditioning units representing a complex readymade installation whilst
providing a framework for its inhabitant’s personalities.
Jason Larkin, while living in Johannesburg, was struck by the ever-present reality
of people waiting. Inactive yet expectant, this condition becomes a visual echo of
Boomoon’s, Waterfall #518, 2015.
Julie Cockburn, in reassembling, stitching into and over-painting found studio
portraits from the 1940’s and 1950’s, creates an imaginative and internal response
“making tangible the emotions that are invoked in me by the people or places in the
found images.” Geometric patterns and gestural scrawls stitched in brightly
coloured thread re-work and transform the head and shoulders of the sitter.
Cockburn conceives her carefully balanced colour combinations digitally before
taking her needle to the original print. Often in striking contrast to the
de-saturated vintage photographs, her vivid woven embellishment delivers the images
out of redundancy into a meaningful present.
Boomoon together with Nadav Kander explore the complex relationship between mankind
and the landscape, reflecting upon our connection with, and impact on the
environment. In contrast the grid-like compositions of Michael Wolf together with
Tom Lovelace’s playful rectangular forms create a tension between the domestic and
the industrial.
Through the figurative works of Simon Roberts and Jason Larkin important social,
economic and political conditions are revealed and framed.
Finally a freestanding structure will house a set of specially commissioned unique
works by Julie Cockburn. Appropriated and embellished, this represents a mixed
media approach at the extremities of the photographic arts.
FRAENKEL, San Francisco

Exhibited artists: Robert Adams/Diane Arbus/Lee Friedlander/Adam Fuss/
Katy Grannan/Peter Hujar/Idris Khan/Richard Learoyd/Christian Marclay/
Ralph Eugene Meatyard/Richard Misrach/Nicholas Nixon/Alec Soth/Hiroshi Sugimoto/
Garry Winogrand
Among the highlights to be exhibited are Seal Rocks, 2015, by the British artist
Richard Learoyd. Seal Rocks is a geologic grouping of small rock islands in the
Pacific Ocean near San Francisco, photographed in 1868 by the great 19th century
photographer, Carleton Watkins. Learoyd's new work is an enormous black and white
contact print (119.4 x 185.4 cm). A recent color portrait by the artist is also on
view. Learoyd's portraits, still lifes, and landscapes are made with the artist's
giant, hand-built camera obscura, and his work is the subject of a new publication
by Aperture, Richard Learoyd: Day for Night.
A new monoprint by visual artist and composer Christian Marclay is also on view.
Marclay uses musical cassette tapes to create stunning abstract images that give
nod to his musical practice.
Adam Fuss's recent large camera-less self-portrait portrays the artist silhouetted
against water using one of the earliest techniques of photographic practice, the
photogram.
Also on view are an important group of Lee Friedlander portraits made in 1985, in
which Friedlander focuses on workers staring into their computer screens. These
works were made in the early years when computers were first introduced to the
workplace, and focus on the hollow stare that has since become ubiquitous in the
digital age.

GRAFIKA LA ESTAMPA, Mexico
D42
Exhibited artists: Patiño Adolfo/Blanco Fuentes Lázaro/Leo Matiz/López Nacho
Grafika La Estampa is specialized in prints and Mexican graphic arts. The gallery
presents two series by Colombian artist Leo Matiz, one of the most important
photographers of the 20th century.
48
Macondo is a series of forty photographs taken by Leo Matiz of his childhood
village, Aracataca. During an extensive period of time and work (late 1930’s – late
1970’s), Matiz photographed his land and relentlessly meditated on what he could
see through his camera. At the same time, famous writer Gabriel García Márquez was
giving life to his masterpiece “One hundred years of solitude”. Both the
photographer and the writer shared their same birth village as an inspiration to
their creation. Gerald Martin, Gabriel García Márquez’s official biographer said
that each one of these images could have illustrated the pages of what is a
fundamental work of Magical Realism, “100 years of Solitude”.
Fireworks of Freedom - The 55 abstract images from this series are photographs of
the fireworks that were sparked to celebrate the end of the occupation and the end
of the Second World War. On the night of July 14th 1945, young artist Leo Matiz
captured the eerie feeling of happiness and freedom that illuminated the city of
lights. This series consists of luminous drawings of the Parisian sky. About this
unique night, General Charles de Gaulle said: “Today, more than ever it is our
national holiday, but it also the day that France celebrates its victory as well as
its liberation.”
Grafika la Estampa presents iconic pictures of Mexican photography by important
important photographers: Hugo Brehme’s portrait of Emiliano and Eufemio Zapata with
their wives, Antonio Garduño’s nude studies of Nahui Olin, Librado GarcÍa Smarth’s
pictorialist prints of early gay pictures, Manuel Álvarez Bravo’s poetic scenes,
Lola Álvarez Bravo’s portraits of Frida Kahlo, Nacho López and Hector García’s
urban characters, Armando Salas Portugal’s landscapes, Lázaro Blanco’s silent walls
and abstract landscapes and much more.

JULIE SAUL, New York - NEW EXHIBITOR
C6
Exhibited artists: Nikolay Bakharev/Adam Magyar/Richard Artschwager/Orit Raff/
Arne Svenson
Through a variety of photo-based processes, these artists offer distinctive
perspectives into the seemingly ordinary. As the public confronts ever-evolving
issues of identity, self-awareness, and surveillance, these works explore the
enigmatic relationship between the artist, his subject and surroundings.
Two early projects by American Artschwager that make use of the blp are shown: a
portfolio of six color prints recording his cross-country trip in 1968, and a 1971
proposal for a public park in Arnem, Netherlands.
Siberian, self-trained photographer Bakharev finds his subjects at recreational
sites and records couples and family groupings. He was included in the 2013 Venice
Biennale and Arles Festival, and was one of four nominees for the Deutsche Börse
prize in 2015.
Hungarian Magyar records the individual fused within urban spaces, bending space
and time. The gallery shows selections from his Squares, Urban Flow and Stainless
series that have been carried out in Paris, London, Rome, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
Martinez-Canas and Svenson present intimate images, the former through abraded and
appropriated photographic reproductions, and the latter with details of
construction workers shown in an oval format.
Svenson’s Neighbors series is exhibited for the first time in Europe following
extensive coverage in the international press. A monograph is available.

KALFAYAN, Athens
Exhibited Artists: Hrair Sarkissian/Panos Tsagaris/Raed Yassin
C4
Kalfayan Galleries present a curated exhibition with three artists whose work
evokes the fragility of personal, cultural and historical memory and navigates
these themes in a metaphorical visual language.
Hrair Sarkissian’s works revolve around individual and collective memory and
identity.His photographs of urban environments and landscape employ traditional
documentary techniques to reevaluate larger historical, religious or social
narratives. Transparencies (2012) is a continuation of Syrian artist Hrair
Sarkissian’s exploration of abandoned urban spaces, which sprawl across the
landscapes of many developing countries, often arrested in mid-construction as a
result of economic or political corruption. This series documents such an
unfinished housing development project on the outskirts of Amman, Jordan. The
photographs are presented as a series of negative light boxes resembling xrays,
enhancing the skeletal quality of the structures. At the same time, Sarkissian
bestows an almost monumental quality on the hollow and life-less spaces.
52
Greek artist Panos Tsagaris, on the other hand, focuses on real-life sociopolitical events that dramatically depict the social unrest instigated by austerity
measures taken to combat the economic crisis in Greece. The works are based on a
series of New York Times newspaper covers that the artist has been collecting from
2010 and onwards and whose feature article has been the current Greek
circumstances. The juxtaposition of the gold leaf with which the artist covers all
the texts and the cover feature photograph is a poetic study of contemporary sociopolitical reality. With references to Byzantine icons and modernist artistic
traditions, the works of Tsagaris juxtapose the transformation that Greece has been
going through during the last few years with the symbolic transformation in the
Alchemical work during which the undeveloped consciousness (lead) transforms into a
fully developed consciousness (gold).
In dialogue with Sarkissian and Tsagaris, Lebanese artist Raed Yassin reconstructs
personal history in works from the King of Disco (2011), among others, by
fabricating a storyboard similar to that of a second-rate film. The real story is
that of the unsolved murder of his father during the civil war, and the method used
to portray it are scenes from outdated Egyptian films, shot as Polaroids and then
enlarged to unnatural sizes. Yassin’s memory of war is inextricably linked to
Arabic cinema, as he was watching Arabic films on a daily basis throughout the
duration of the conflict. Because the actual events surrounding the murder were
unknown, he was forced to imagine them through the narratives of these films, which
often sensationalized and dramatized the truth. By blurring the lines between fact
and fiction the artist elaborated on the power of memory to create, erase and
transform real events according to the emotional investments made in them.

Otto Steinert
Kicken Berlin presents a survey of photography from East and West Germany during
the 1970s and 1980s. Stemming from a scintillating time of rebellion and quiet
protest, a period of contemplation and introspection, the photographs bear
testimony through many different kinds of imagery to an era that was both
unsettling and full of promise.
Works by Dieter Appelt, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Sibylle Bergemann, Anna und
Bernhard Blume, André Gelpke, Ute Mahler, Helga Paris, Sigmar Polke, Heinrich
Riebesehl, Tata Ronkholz, Wilhelm Schürmann, a.o. are presented. To celebrate his
centenary, Kicken Berlin pays tribute to Otto Steinert, the key figure of

M+B, Los Angeles - NEW EXHIBITOR
B22
Exhibited artists: Matthew Brandt/Ellen Carey/Jessica Eaton/Whitney Hubbs/
Matthew Porter
Mike Brodie (b. 1985) captured the raw spirit of adventure and unbridled freedom
for three intense and prolific years, crisscrossing the United States hopping
trains. Self-trained, his archive of photographs makes up one of the few true
collections of American travel photography. Matthew Brandt (b. 1982) is known for
his formal and material consideration of the natural world; images of the Oahu
rainforest from his new series bear the imprint of the actual site. Ellen Carey’s
(b. 1952) extensive career in photography culminated with her breakthrough work in
Polaroids. Presented in the booth are her early self-portraits, lit with colored
gels with intricate collages of graphic images. Jessica Eaton (b. 1977) focuses on
the cube as subject in her cfaal (Cubes for Albers and LeWitt) series, using this
basic form to explore the behavior and production of color in analog photography.
Influenced by Surrealism and New Wave cinema, Whitney Hubbs (b. 1977) captures the
classic subject of the female nude in rich black and white tones. Matthew Porter
(b. 1975) works within various photographic genres, creating multiple-exposure
still life studio compositions, layered portraits and landscapes.

55
MAI 36, Zürich - NEW EXHIBITOR
C21
Exhibited artists: Luigi Ghirri/Andreas Gursky/Candida Höfer/Peter Hujar/
Axel Hütte/Robert Mapplethorpe/Thomas Ruff/Jörg Sasse/Thomas Struth
Mai 36 Galerie presents a selection of photographs grouped by the geographical
origin of their artists and distinguished by their different visions of the
subjects at the moment the images are captured. The works by the American
photographers Peter Hujar and Robert Mapplethorpe are centered on the body (which
by the first artist is presented in its erotic connotation, by the second as
architecture), while the photographs of the so-called Düsseldorf School
(Thomas Ruff, Wolfgang Struth, Andreas Gursky, Axel Hütte, Andreas Sasse among the
others) are characterized by the very German ability to portray architectures as
well as landscapes strongly modified by human intervention in an extremely
analytical and detached way. As for the third group of works, the gallery presents
photographs by the Italian artist Luigi Ghirri, who like very few others, was able
to catch the landscapes of a changing Italy from the early `70s, in a manner that
suggests a certain melancholy rather than critique; a gaze that was applied also
while depicting other countries.
56
MARTIN ASBÆK, Copenhagen
Exhibited artists: Elina Brotherus/Nicolai Howal/Trine Sondergaard/
Ebbe Stub Wittrup/Martin Liebscher
E5
Elina Brotherus focuses in her works on the relationship between individual and
space. In the exhibited photographs Brotherus also touches upon visual storytelling
and creates a universal narrative that is based on own experiences.
Nicolai Howalt´s works spans across documentary, conceptual art and installation.
The artist´s interest in duality, connections and relationships is a study of life
and its fragility. Danish photographer Astrid Kruse Jensen explores the borderland
between the hidden and the apparent, the real and the imaginary.
Trine Søndergaard’s work is marked by a precision and a sensibility that co-exists
with an investigation of the medium of photography, its boundaries and what
constitutes an image. Layered with meaning and quiet emotion, her works are highly
acclaimed for their visual intensification of our perception of reality.
Ebbe Stub Wittrup´s photographic practice marks a mysteriousness that makes one
think of a series of narrative worlds and also, reality on the basis of a specific
conception of the world.
Martin Liebscher´s digital photographs are produced with an automatic shutter
release. The figures are digitally manipulated. They are images of a real person in
action.

NEXTLEVEL, Paris - NEW EXHIBITOR
D45
Exhibited artists: Hugo Aveta/John Chiara/Ronan Guillou/Martina Hoogland Ivanow/
André Kertész
NextLevel presents works by André Kertész, Martina Hoogland Ivanow, John Chiara,
Ronan Guillou and Hugo Aveta. From different generations and cultures, their
singular work nonetheless shares several fundamental aspects: the expression of a
precise and highly personal vision, the exploration of the photographic process,
the application of finely honed craftsmanship in the construction of both the
visual content and physical production of their photographic project.
While each artist creates a unique photographic language - only color work is
presented in this selection - they share a certain timelessness, in the sense of
being ‘not identified with a specific time’: while André Kertész’ Polaroids from
the late 1970s are incredibly contemporary, Martina Hoogland Ivanow’s somber images
bring to mind the Flemish palette yet are catapulted into today by her eery, colordrenched landscapes. John Chiara’s hand-built camera, handmade and unique prints
seem to bear a response, with poetry, simplicity and traditional techniques, to the
anxieties of an over-technologized and stressed society; Hugo Aveta creates dense
yet shadowy images that seem to move, like an old film flickering through our mind,
rerunning the subconscious vestiges of history, politics and memory.
PARIS-BEIJING, Paris
Exhibited artists: Wang Bing/Liu Bolin/Zhang Kechun
D2
Galerie Paris Beijing presents a selection of works by three emblematic artists
from different waves of Chinese photography: documentary photography, photo
performance, and the young generation. Documentary photography presented by
Wang Bing is internationally known and recognized for his films and photoreportages on human realities at the margin of Chinese society that have been shown
last year at the Centre Pompidou Acclaimed by critics and reconized as one of the
most important Chinese artists, documentary makers and film directors of his time,
his first passion was photography that he studied in Shenyang, at the
Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts. His photographic series have been recently shown on
the occasion of the retrospectives of his entire work in major museums, as the
Centre Popidou in Paris and the Cinemathèque Royale de Belgique (2014).
The Man with No name black and white series (2013) documents the life of a silent
vagabond in the uninhabited and abrid landscape of Hebei, in Northern China.
Liu Bolin is internationally known and recognized artist for his camouflage photoperformances series Hiding in the City, he has recently launched a new series of
works named Target, always inspired by social contradictions and civilization
pains. Today, human beings are too often in danger like innocent targets of
economic interests and politic or religious conflicts. For this series, the artist
doesn’t stage the performances alone, but invites many people to be camouflaged
into selected sceneries, thanks to the help of his team of painters and
photographs.
Zhang Kechun is acclaimed by critics during the last edition of the
Rencontres d’Arles, his first work The Yellow River (2012) was published and
exhibited worldwide. Inspired by the legendary novel River of the North by
Zang Chengzhi, the artist has travelled and took images of the current life along
the river that has been plagued with flooding, pollution and destruction caused by
China’s push to modernize.

PHOTO&CONTEMPORARY, Turin
B6
Exhibited artists: Béatrice Helg /Georges Rousse/Silvio Wolf/Hiroyuki Masuyama
58
PHOTO&CONTEMPORARY presents a group-show investigating the concept of visual
perception and constructed image in the Staged Contemporary Photography through
different approaches and techniques.
The Gallery presents large format photo-anamorphoses by French artist
George Rousse, who paints and sculpts empty buildings interiors before taking a
final picture that changes the view, the perspective and the soul of the places
depicted.
Swiss artist Béatrice Helg creates theatrical large-format sets, moving weathering
steels, glass, marble sheets and creating a sophisticated geometrical imagery with
a rare perspectival ambiguity.
Manipulated and abstract images from the full colour series Horizon by the Italian
Silvio Wolf, derived from details of wasted scraps of the analogic photographic
process, selected, assembled and enlarged by the artist in medium and large-sized
Diasec. These “scriptures of light” represent a borderline between photographic
objectivity and abstraction, a reflection on the roots of the language.
Japanese Hiroyuki Masuyama creates intriguing pictures assembling images (150-1000
for each final work) during his long worldwide journeys or flights, returning to
the sites captured by the famous painters-travellers of the Nineteenth Century as
J.M.W.Turner or Caspar David Friedrich.
Also presented are new works from his series of large-format lightboxes after
Turner paintings, following step-by-step the English Master’s Grand Tour between
1820 and 1840, retraced through thousands of images taken from the same view points
as the Old Master’s famous paintings and watercolours.

PURDY HICKS, London
Exhibited artists: Susan Derges/Tom Hunter/Anni Leppala/Diana Matar/
Jorma Puranen/Tessa Traeger/Bettina von Zwehl
D43
The camera has been perceived for most of its life as a recording device, with
portraiture as one of its main functions. The instant record, however, has never
been a totally satisfactory result for artists to whom photography is but a tool.
Their main challenge has been to overcome that time-stopping moment of the aperture
click and play the viewers’ memory. Purdy Hicks shows how artists continue to look
for innovative ways to portray the human being, often referring back to early
images with a presentation of works by artists Susan Derges, Tom Hunter,
Anni Leppala, Diana Matar, Jorma Puranen, Tessa Traeger and Bettina von Zwehl.

Irving Penn/Sebastião Salgado/Paulette Tavormina/Francesca Woodman
Robert Klein Gallery presents a selection of contemporary work focusing on the
Earth as a mutable habitat for humankind, an ecosystem that can be at times
delicate and benevolent and at other times, harsh and dangerous. This booth
exhibits landscapes made in a nontraditional sense, photographs that stretch
the boundaries of the genre and offer Western and Eastern perspectives side-byside. For the press, the gallery features one artist from each hemisphere:
Prints from Iranian photographer Gohar Dashti’s 2015 series Stateless, which
mythicizes the future of refugees in the natural world, are featured. Dashti is the
foremost fine art photographer in Iran and has exhibited at Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston, MA, USA; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA, USA; Somerset House,
London, UK; and L’Institut des Cultures d’Islam, Paris, FR, among others.
American Bill Jacobson, a 2012 Guggenheim Fellow, has been exploring the human
passage through the world for over thirty years. Place (Series) focuses on the
contradictions between architecture and nature, the man-made and the natural by
honing in on the tensions created in intersecting planes. Jacobson is signing
copies of Place (Series), Radius Books, 2015, at the fair on Friday, November 13.

ROBERT KOCH, San Francisco
Exhibited artists: Trent Davis Bailey/František Drtikol/Jaromír Funke/
Robert Heinecken/Jaroslav Rössler/Michael Wolf
60
C51
Robert Heinecken is known for his alternative approaches and processes that
challenged and expanded traditional notions of the photographic medium. Heinecken
rarely used a camera, instead drawing on appropriated imagery from magazines and
newspapers, and employing techniques like lithography, etching, camera-less
exposure and photo emulsion on canvas. Robert Heinecken was the subject of a 2014
retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Hammer
Museum, Los Angeles, California. On view in our booth will be his Recto/Verso
portfolio.
TR Ericsson's Cleveland Museum of Art catalog Crackle and Drag is short listed for
the 2015 Paris Photo-Aperture Photography Catalog of the Year. Ericsson explores
his eccentric family history using his own biography as a point of departure to
explore universal themes of identity, grief, and loss.
Trent Davis Bailey received the 2015 Museum of Contemporary Photography Snider
Award for his intimate images of the people and landscape of a remote agrarian
community in Colorado. Bailey's work is driven as much by storytelling as by the
artist's vested self-interest in his family's history, presenting us with a sense
of kinship, community, and wonder in a land of unrelenting beauty.
Tamas Dezso's monograph Notes for an Epilogue, recently released by publisher Hatje
Cantz, presents a beautiful yet somber look at the pastoral landscapes and
forgotten way of life of an economically exhausted Romania & isolated regions
within the country. Tamas Dezso will be at Paris Photo for book signings.
Steve Fitch's influential, landmark photographic images pay homage to the American
highway and peculiar roadside attractions. Vintage contact prints of Fitch's
anthropological studies of the American West will be displayed in the Koch Gallery
booth.
Rachelle Bussières Blurs the lines of photography, painting and sculpture,
Bussières employs photographic materials and processes to fabricate images that

the recipient of the 2016 Graduate Fellowship Award from the Headlands Center for
the Arts.

curated images. A monograph of the same title has recently been released.
Following the tremendous critical success of our spring exhibition The Light in
Cuban Eyes, a portion of the display features the images of Cuban photographers.
This work represents the extraordinary scope of diverse talent that transcends
Cuba’s borders to find its place within the global art community.

private collection. Features of the group include the works of Walker Evans,
Dorothea Lange, Aaron Siskind, Harry Callahan, and Joe Deal.

SCHOOL OLIVIER CASTAING, Paris
Exhibited artists: Bachelot-Caron/Gilles Caron/Sacha Goldberger

D8
Olivier Castaing presents Gilles Caron, major figure in photography in France. The
gallery devoted to him a solo exhibition in June-July 2015, marking the beginning
of the collaboration initiated between Gilles Caron Foundation and School Gallery.
Gilles Caron deserves a rightful place in the history of journalism, art and
photography. Scrapbook and more broadly the work undertaken by the Foundation since
its inception aim to make known to a wider public, Gilles Caron in his work, his
life and his commitment. Pictures of Caron enter today in the great art
collections, museums, and some have become synonymous of masterpieces (exhibition
Masterpieces Beaubourg-Metz, 2011).
Gilles Caron would today be 75 years-old; it only took him 5 years in the late 60s
to leave his outstanding mark in the history of photography.
May 68, the 6 Day War, Vietnam, Biafra, the riots in Londonderry. This young
photographer is present on all fronts. And it leaves behind more than 100 000
photographs. Discovering Gilles Caron’s archives is like going through a history
book, as they contain portraits of legendary men and women. De Gaulle,
Mendès France, Sartre and Beauvoir, Cohn-Bendit, Bob Kennedy, but also music and
cinéma stars as Louis Armstrong, James Brown, Jacques Brel. Romy Schneider, Jeanne
Moreau, François Truffaut, Faye Dunaway, Warren Betty, to name a few.
Gilles Caron was an extraordinary portraitist who knew how to capture moments of
grace revealing intimate personalities, as in the portrait of Gainsbourg and Birkin
on the set of Slogan. More than all, photographs taken by Gilles Caron as a war
reporter impress. Each photograph contains an innate sense of framing, dramaturgy,
tempo, it is there or it is necessary when to reveal some truth to these
experiences conflict from the inside, on the battlefield among the fighters in the
heat of the moment; a harsh truth, sent, sound. Each image is as augmented reality,
the sludge and hints sweating soldiers in Vietnam the smell of charred bodies of
Biafra. Everything is captured on film, indelible, to demonstrate the commitment of
one of the great photographers of our time.
STEPHEN BULGER, Toronto
A41
Exhibited artists: Sara Angelucci/Scott Conarroe/Max Dean/Joseph Hartman/Dave Heath/
Clive Holden/André Kertész/Vivian Maier/Deanna Pizzitelli/Elaine Stocki/
Larry Towell
Stephen Bulger Gallery exhibits work by Canadians who have used photography to
create engaging work in various genres. Showcasing mid-20th Century works through to
contemporary, the gallery highlights artists celebrated in Canada, and more
recently recognized internationally.
Documentary work is represented by Larry Towell’s work from Afghanistan that was
the subject of a major monograph recently published by APERTURE, as well as in the
Artist Studios project by Joseph Hartman. This tradition is subverted in the
contemporary approaches of Sara Angelucci and Elaine Stocki.
Social Commentary from a personal, poetic stance is represented by Dave Heath’s B&W
work from the 1960’s; as well as Deanna Pizzitelli’s contemporary works that
explore intimate settings and moments.
Landscape is exemplified in work by Scott Conarroe, which celebrates North American
infrastructure and is the subject of new media work by Clive Holden. Ruminations on
interstellar space are witnessed through new work by Sanaz Mazinani and the
creative process is explored by Max Dean.

and tonal vintage prints. It is the only integral set for sale. Related to the
“New Topographic” movement, this work has also been published as a book of the same
title by Aperture in 1985.
Also on view is vintage photographs associated with the New Bauhaus and the
Institute of Design of Chicago: a large format print (50 x 40 inch) from
Aaron Siskind’s Martha’s Vineyard work, a photogram by György Kepes, and a reversed
photogram by László Moholy-Nagy.
The gallery exhibits rare photo-collages by Joseph Breitenbach, Marion Palfi and
French artist Lou Bonin-Tchimoukov, member of the October Group.
Another portion of our booth is dedicated to the “New York Photographic School”,
from Robert Frank to Helen Levitt, including Lewis Hine, Sid Grossman and David
Heath. Both versions Night & Day of Washington Square, New York, by André Kertész
exceptionally is shown at the same time.
Contemporary photographers Martin Parr, Gary Schneider, and Dawoud Bey—guest
speaker for the Paris Photo 2015 Platform— are also exhibited.
STILLS, Sydney
A36
Exhibited artists: Trent Parke/Patrick Pound/Justine Varga
Stills Gallery presents three contemporary Australian artists who offer uniquely
expansive approaches to the photographic medium. Magnum photographer Trent Parke
transforms personal narratives into universal themes of life and loss; conceptual
artist Patrick Pound finds amusing and poetic connections within a vast collection
of found photographs; and Justine Varga uses camera-less photography to accumulate
time and performative gestures within seductive fields of colour.
TAKA ISHII, Tokyo
D22
Exhibited artists: Araki Nobuyoshi/Hosoe Eikoh/Iturbide Graciela/Kodaira Masahiro/
Moriyama Daido/Murakoshi Toshiya/Narahara Ikko/Suzuki Kiyoshi/Suzuki Risaku/
Tahara, Keiichi/Takanashi Yutaka/Tsuda Nao/Yoshino Erika
Taka Ishii presents both established and emerging photographers with vintages by
masters of modern photography including Nobuyoshi Araki, Daido Moriyama,
Eikoh Hosoe and Graciela Iturbide and three different daily presentations of
younger Japanese photographers; Toshiya Murakoshi, Masahiro Kodaira and Erika
Yoshino.

TEMNIKOVA & KASELA, Tallinn - NEW EXHIBITOR
Exhibited artists: Krista Mölder/Jaanus Samma/Sigrid Viir
A15
Temnikova & Kasela Gallery presents works by three Estonian artists with an
installation by Sigrid Viir, a series of photographs by Jaanus Samma, and works by
Krista Mölder.
64
Sigrid Viir's practice is situated between photography, installation and
performance. Often evolving around the private sphere of family and domestic
situations, her works explore existing social models and question the functionality
of their structures, while simultaneously trying to locate her own role as an
artist within these systems.
Jaanus Samma’s body of work includes photographs, installations and videos that
were initially concerned with subjective experiences of urban space. His interest
later shifted towards gender studies, representations of male sexuality and ways of
portraying it artistically. Samma's current research is focused on mapping out gay
narratives of Soviet Estonia by combining fieldwork with more subjective and
artistic output produced based on the findings.
As a photographer, Krista Mölder is interested in the relationship between the
person and the space. Her melancholic photo series often highlight a distinctive
absence of a subject, while presupposing an active viewer position. Mölder’s
exhibitions are increasingly site-specific, taking her interest in spatial context
beyond the photographs themselves.
THOMAS ZANDER, Cologne
A18
Exhibited artists: Manuel Álvarez Bravo/Robert Adams/Lewis Baltz/Lothar Baumgarten/
Peter Downsbrough/Mitch Epstein/Walker Evans/Lee Friedlander/Andrea Geyer/
Philippe Gronon/Anthony Hernandez/Candida Höfer/Helen Levitt/Dieter Meier/
Trevor Paglen/Tod Papageorge/Max Regenberg/Judith Joy Ross/Santiago Sierra/
Larry Sultan/Henry Wessel/Garry Winogrand
Thomas Zander presents highlights by Mitch Epstein, Lee Friedlander, and
Candida Höfer. In his latest series of rocks and clouds in his native city of
New York, photographer Mitch Epstein inverts people’s usual view of the city. The
large format black and white prints illuminate the spatial and temporal dimension
of these contrasting elements in an urban environment and continue Epstein’s
investigation into the city’s accommodation and alteration of nature.
In 1964, Lee Friedlander was hired by Harper’s Bazaar to photograph the highly
anticipated new car models of that year: Chryslers, Buicks, Pontiacs, and
Cadillacs. Friedlander, however, photographed the brand new vehicles against
mundane urban backdrops like parking lots, run-down storefronts or even a used-car
lot. As Friedlander says, “I just put the cars out in the world, instead of on a
pedestal.” Eventually not published at the time— Friedlander rediscovered the
photographs in 2010. The 33-part series of black and white prints are on view.
For more than thirty years, Candida Höfer has created meticulously composed images
of architectural interiors—mostly of public and institutional spaces—spaces that
bespeak human interaction, yet are devoid of human presence. At Paris Photo, the
gallery is pleased to present a large format colour work of the Palace of
Versailles. Höfer studied photography under renowned professor Bernd Becher from
1976 until 1982. She is the senior member of the first class of students to study
at the Düsseldorf Academy under Becher’s tutelage. In 2003 the Cologne based
photographer represented Germany at the Venice Biennial and is one of the most
important contemporary artists in Germany today.
TOLARNO, Melbourne
Exhibited artists: Bill Henson/Rosemary Laing/Tim Johnson
B4
Tolarno Galleries presents the work of three contemporary artists with distinctive
approaches to photography. Tim Johnson, a key player in conceptual art in
Australia, documented people exactly as they were on the streets of Sydney in the
early 1970s. Rosemary Laing creates spectacular panoramas that explore the
possibilities of re-inventing landscape photography, and unfettering the body from
the mechanics of flight. Bill Henson, the ‘maker of magic’, composes painterly
tableaux that resonate with a profound sense of truth and beauty.
Influenced by Marcel Duchamp’s ‘objet trouve,’ Tim Johnson, in his early twenties,
used a camera in 1972 to record women’s dresses blown up by the wind on Sydney
streets, documenting the time and place of each photograph over a period of three
months. The gallery presents a selection of these rare grainy black-and-white
photographs from the series titled Public Fitting. Public Fitting broke from the
tradition of a static contemplated image as it captured real people caught at a
specific moment in time.
Rosemary Laing’s large-scale photographic scene of a woman wearing a bridal dress
suspended in the air is one of her most enigmatic and surreal images. Tolarno
features this work, flight research #5, 1999, which suggests freedom and
transcendence, alongside more recent photographs from her 2006 weather series. In
the weather photographs the woman spins out of control, caught in a vortex of
printed matter. Rosemary Laing’s compelling images reflect on our natural and
cultural environments. Meticulously staged, these unlikely scenes have been created
without any digital manipulation.
Untitled 1974 (ballet) is Bill Henson's earliest photographic series, made when he
was just 19 and forming his first solo show at the National Gallery of Victoria in
Melbourne, Australia. When photographing the young ballerinas who are the
entrancing subjects of these photographs, he found himself fascinated by faces,
“lost to the world, absorbed in the dance. So I photographed their faces rather
than their bodies. I was drawn to the spirit of some person in a space,”(Bill
Henson, 2004). Bill Henson accompanies the launch of Particle Mist,
(Stanley/Barker London). This is the first book devoted to the ballet series.
TOLUCA, Paris
C24
Exhibited artists: Johanna Calle/Armando Cristeto/Facundo de Zuviria/León Ferrari/
Fernell Franco/Paolo Gasparini/Pablo Hare/Graciela Iturbide/Jorge Ortiz/
Santiago Rebolledo/Miguel Rio Branco/Victor Robledo/Miguel Angel Rojas/
Leonora Vicuña/Manuel Zavala
Latin-American photography, championed by Éditions Toluca since the creation of the
publishing house, has earned a place internationally as a photography of mutations,
whether urban, demographic, esthetic, or political. The 1970s and 1980s played a
key role in the region’s transition to modernity and on to postmodernity, even as
the two currents overlapped. They were violent times. Colombia saw its population
double. In the aftermath of a civil war, out of the fractures left in rural areas
by processes of urban industrialization, a powerful guerilla movement was born.
Drug cartels attempted to take over the state. In Peru, thousands of people were
disappeared during the conflict between the Shining Path revolutionaries and the
military. What traces of these events, what presences are captured by photography?
How to photograph what has disappeared, what is disappearing?
The searing posters of Sergio Trujillo, with their play of masks, the abstract
expressionism of Santiago Rebolledo’s compositions, torn from the walls of the
city, the billiard halls of Fernell Franco, vestiges of a bygone era, condemned to
destruction, the landscapes of Johanna Calle, cut into the sensitive layers of old
Polaroids, the peeling plaster and remnants of fresco painting of Jorge Heredia
call us to a memorial liturgy.
65
VINTAGE, Budapest
D37
Exhibited artists: Gabor Attalai/Karoly Escher/Tibor Hajas/Karoly Halasz/
Gyula Holics/Kata Kalman/André Kertész/Imre Kinszki/Gyorgy Lorinczy/Dora Maurer/
Geza Perneczky/Erno Vadas
Vintage Gallery presents artists representing different positions in Hungarian
modernist photography and post-war neo-aventgarde art. This comparison of pre-war
oeuvres of internationally recognized artists like André Kertész, or Imre Kinszki
and their post-war followers lightens the breaks in history of progressive
Hungarian art.
In this selection the Gallery shows surviving pieces of the Hungarian neo-avantgarde art scene parallel with modernist pieces. Conceptual artists like Dóra Mauer,
Tibor Hajas or Gábor Attalai were colleagues, friends collaborated on certain
projects and were very important to the non-official art-scene in the 70-ies and
80-ies in Hungary. These artworks were not accessible to a greater public at the
time of their creation, but noticed by different museum collections in the last few
years.
VU’, Paris
Exhibited artists: Juan Manuel Castro Prieto/Pierre Elie de Pibrac/
Pierre Olivier Deschamps/Alexia Monduit/Ester Venplon/Guillaume Zuili
66
B2
Galerie VU’ highlights artists who utilize photography as a medium to question the
precariousness of our world and of the visible. Faithful to our exploration of the
Spanish photography scene, the gallery showcases the images of
Juan Manual Castro Pietro (unpublished, unique pieces) and Israel Ariño, who both
transfigure and transform “the real” through their photography.
Three other artists offer us their visions of the fragility of the planet:
Pierre-Olivier Deschamps with his vertiginous yet pictorial images of the disused
wastelands in Samaria; Guillaume Zuili with his series Scrap Metal, which reveals
the devastation resulting from our consumerist excesses; and the unique pieces—made
on silk panels—by Ester Vonplon, which are taken on rocky mountainsides as part of
the artist’s recurring questions around disappearance and absence.
The gallery also welcomes young talent: a new series by Alexia Monduit – created
since her exhibition Into My Song at Galerie VU’ as well as Analogia by
Pierre-Elie de Pibric, a piece which was shot at the Opéra Garnier and conveys the
echoes between the majestic space and the bodies of the dancers themselves.
YANCEY RICHARDSON, New York
Exhibited artists: Olivo Barbieri/Sharon Core/Andrew Moore/Ed Ruscha/
Sebastião Salgado/Masao Yamamoto
A34
Yancey Richardson Gallery is pleased to present work by a select group of gallery
artists including Olivo Barbieri, Bryan Graf, Andrew Moore, Hellen van Meene, and
Sebastiao Salgado in addition to early examples of three important American
photographers: Lewis Baltz, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Ed Ruscha. The gallery
showcases a selection of color photographs by Italian photographer Olivo Barbieri
whose mid-career retrospective is currently on view at MAXXI, Rome. Emerging
American artist Bryan Graf uses found objects, low-fi processes and an experimental
approach to produce large-scale unique photograms that explore the opposing forces
of control and chance. Andrew Moore’s latest series Dirt Meridian explores the
settlement and subsequent abandonment of the region along the 100th meridian
bisecting the American Plains. Hellen van Meene’s portraits of girls and
adolescents examine the intimacy of the photographer/ subject relationship and
highlight the beauty of imperfection. Her contemporary take on photographic
portraiture is the subject of The Years Shall Run Like Rabbits, a 250 page
monograph by Aperture, published to coincide with van Meene’s mid-career
retrospective at the Fotomuseum den Haag. Lastly, the gallery presents examples
from Genesis, the eight-year project by internationally renowned artist
Sebastiao Salgado, which highlights the pressing issues of environmental
degradation and climate change.
YOSSI MILO, New York
Exhibited artists: Marco Breuer/Markus Brunetti/Chris McCaw
D20
Yossi Milo Gallery presents three artists who push the boundaries of photography in
different directions. Inspired by historic processes, Chris McCaw makes one-of-akind photographs using homemade cameras, vintage gelatin silver paper and the sun.
Dispensing with a camera entirely, Marco Breuer directly manipulates the surface of
color photo paper by hand. Markus Brunetti masterfully utilizes digital tools to
capture the façades of sacred European architecture in hyper-realistic detail.
YUMIKO CHIBA, Tokyo - NEW EXHIBITOR
D10
Exhibited artists: Norio Imai/Masafumi Maita/Jiro Takamatsu/Keiji Uematsu/
Kanji Wakae
From the end of ‘60s to the early ‘70s, photography was a prevalent art form in
Japanese contemporary art. Influenced by the mainstream Mono-ha art movement in
Japan after the World War II, photography posed fundamental questions to art itself
in terms of perception and recognition as well as representation, and the
experimental action by the artists used who photography as a means of expression.
However, compared with Mono-ha, meaning and significance of this art form are still
in question today. This exhibition examines the art and photographs created in the
‘60s and‘70s in each genre, from the point of today’s contemporary art by featuring
five Japanese artists, Jiro Takamatsu, Kanji Wakae, Keiji Uematsu, Masafumi Maita
and Norio Imai, who were very active in the art movement.
ZILBERMAN, Istanbul
Exhibited artists: Ahmet Elhan/Zeynep Kayan/Şükran Moral
C42
Galeri Zilberman exhibits works by artists whose practices are at once political
and poetic, specifically dealing with timely issues in representation through
photography —a medium that expounds on the slippage between the document and the
fictional, if there is such a distinction. Expanding on the notion of photography,
the artists converge in pushing the limits of what they know, to seek answers to
understand through the photographic surface and further complicate the political
and social phenomena and their representations. The artists included in this
presentation are Ahmet Elhan, Zeynep Kayan, and Şükran Moral.
The presentation contributes to the artistic discourse through the medium of
photography via three divergent practices from different generations that address
the place of contemporary photography in artistic practice.

PROGRAMME 2015
LA PLATEFORME
AUDITORIUM - NIVEAU 1
La Plateforme, forum expérimental, proposera pendant quatre jours une série
d’entretiens, de témoignages et de discussions construite autour de 3 axes :
LA COLLECTION
S’appuyant sur le thème de l’exposition J.P. Morgan, consacrée au temps,
la directrice et curatrice en chef de la collection Lisa K. Erf réunira des
intervenants internationaux, collectionneurs, artistes et ayants-droits à
débattre sur la constitution, la conservation et la diffusion des collections
de photographie dans l’histoire.
APRES LA CRISE
« La photographie est traditionnellement considérée comme l’origine d’une crise
de la représentation qui s’exprima, au début du XIXe siècle, dans la politique,
la littérature et l’art. Deux siècles plus tard, il semble possible de suturer
cette rupture, et d’envisager quelles peuvent être, aujourd’hui, les formes de
vie d’une forme après la crise ». Donatien Grau, (Université d’Oxford), invitera
penseurs et praticiens à converser autour de ce sujet.
72
LE RAPPORT QUE LE LIVRE ENTRETIENT A LA PHOTOGRAPHIE
Le livre est-il encore le meilleur medium pour la diffusion de la photographie ?
Au travers de trois échanges avec des artistes utilisant principalement la
photographie, Christophe Boutin (co-fondateur de onestar press et de Three
Star Books) reviendra sur l’élaboration de leurs ouvrages. Ils mettront en
perspective leurs pratiques en relation avec le livre et la fascination que
ce médium opère encore sur ces artistes.

PEINTURE ET PHOTOGRAPHIE :
LA RECONCILIATION POSSIBLE ?
DONATIEN GRAU
La crise que l’invention technique de la photographie a imposée à la peinture
a donné lieu à la genèse de l’art postromantique, puis moderne : aujourd’hui,
deux cents ans plus tard, qu’en est-il ?

PHOTOGRAPHIE & POLITIQUE : LES REGLES DU JEU
DONATIEN GRAU
La photographie a accompagné les mouvements politiques. Dans la civilisation
de l’image, elle fait plus que bien des mots. Et pourtant, sa prolifération
l’a rendue invisible. La photographie peut-elle encore faire voir le monde
et la cité, tels qu’ils sont ?

LA PHOTOGRAPHIE & LES CHOSES :
LA TRANSMUTATION DE TOUTES LES VALEURS
DONATIEN GRAU
Toute représentation photographique fait de son objet un objet. Tout ce qu’elle
saisit court le risque de devenir une chose. Et toute ‘chose’ dont elle s’empare
devient plus qu’une chose. Comment la photographie affecte-t-elle notre relation
au monde ?

sélection d’oeuvres issues de l’une des collections privées les plus renommées
d’Italie, la collection Enea Righi.
Depuis les années 1980, Enea Righi a acquis plus de 1000 oeuvres d’art
contemporain. La photographie est le support essentiel de cette collection,
et reflète au mieux la vision de Righi, conférant une importance identique aux
choix esthétiques et à la responsabilité sociale. Le public est invité
à découvrir la sphère intime du collectionneur, une rencontre qui ouvre le
dialogue entre les deux univers. L’exposition englobe des oeuvres des artistes
suivants : Trisha Donnelly, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Nan Goldin, Douglas Gordon,
Sania Ivekovic, Joan Jonas, Zoe Leonard, Anna Maria Maiolino, Martha Rosler,
Cy Twombly et Andy Warhol.
L’exposition présentée au 1er étage dans le Salon d’Honneur du Grand Palais

GIORGIO ARMANI PRESENTS
ACQUA #6
STAND SH3 - SALON D’HONNEUR
Partenaire officiel de Paris Photo depuis 2011, Giorgio Armani renouvelle sa
participation avec la 6e édition de l’exposition ACQUA, consacré au thème de
l’eau dans la photographie.
ACQUA #6, intitulé « Reflecting on water », inclura un ensemble de photographies
qui se répondent en jeux formels et poétiques autour du thème de la réflexion.
Donnant toute sa place au grand format, l’exposition regroupe des œuvres sélectionnées par Giorgio Armani - de grands noms de la photographie et
de jeunes artistes dont Lee Friedlander, Noémie Goudal, Joseph D. Jachna,
et Dolorès Marat.
Présente depuis toujours dans la création de Giorgio Armani, l’eau fait
également l’objet depuis 2009 d’un engagement citoyen du designer, à travers
l’opération « Acqua for Life™ », qui lors de sa dernière édition a permis de
collecter des millions de litres d’eau potable en faveur de Green Cross International
(Unicef pour les Etats-Unis) et de ses programmes dans plusieurs pays.
Les œuvres seront présentées au Salon d’Honneur du Grand Palais.

conçue par Lisa K. Erf, directrice et curatrice de la collection, et provenant
exclusivement de la JPMorgan Chase Art Collection, rassemble des photos et
des films qui jouent avec le passé, le présent et le futur, pour fasciner tout
en donnant matière à penser. À l’occasion du 55e anniversaire de la collection
(et pour célébrer les 100 ans de son fondateur, David Rockefeller), J.P. Morgan
est fière de sponsoriser Paris Photo pour la 5e année consécutive.

La Résidence BMW est née, en 2011, du souhait commun de BMW Art & Culture
et du musée Nicéphore Niépce de soutenir la photographie contemporaine et sa
diffusion auprès du plus grand nombre. François Cheval, conservateur en chef
du musée Nicéphore Niépce, accompagne, chaque année, avec l’équipe technique
du laboratoire du musée, la réalisation du projet personnel d’un jeune artiste
photographe, choisi après un appel à candidatures.

BOOTH EE30
Leica Camera présente cette année une exposition inédite de Stéphane Duroy et
Paulo Nozolino, initiée par Paul Cottin. Les travaux menés en parallèle par
les deux photographes à l’occasion d’une résidence du Centre d’Art GwinZegal
en Bretagne du Nord, exhument des recoins de notre Histoire, les échos
d’un monde qui s’efface sans bruit, héritage d’une société paysanne en voie
de disparition, sondant par là même les valeurs qui gouvernent nos sociétés
contemporaines « virtualisées », anthropocentrées et mondialisées.
Deux photographes dont l’écriture dépouillée, l’économie d’images et le refus
du spectaculaire sont les traits communs. Deux regards austères et sans
concession. Deux artistes majeurs.
LI WEI, VISION
89
STAND C1
L’artiste Li Wei présente l’exposition VISION, issue de la carte blanche
qui lui a été offerte par Pernod Ricard dans le cadre de la campagne
photographique annuelle qui met en scène les collaborateurs du Groupe. À
travers l’Europe, le photographe-performeur chinois a fait voler, comme il
aime le dire, 40 femmes et hommes sur les sites emblématiques de Pernod Ricard.
Par une mise en scène qui est sa signature, Li Wei transforme la convivialité
de l’aventure collective en une expérience artistique unique qui fait entrer
ses modèles dans ses iconiques illusions vertigineuses. En écho à cet ensemble
seront présentées d’autres photo-performances prises dans l’espace public par
Li Wei, des œuvres issues de ses séries emblématiques.

Dawoud Bey, Harold Edgerton et Allen Ruppersberg.
Véritable fenêtre sur le monde, l’art encourage à considérer de nouvelles

d’esprit que les collaborateurs de J.P. Morgan travaillent au quotidien avec
leurs clients.

amana inc. est une entreprise de solutions audiovisuelles d’envergure fondée au
Japon en 1979. Les principales activités du groupe impliquent la création et la
vente de photographies d’illustration, la production de contenus audiovisuels et
publicitaires, ainsi que la réalisation d’animations en trois dimensions.
En 2012, le groupe amana a fait son entrée sur le marché de la photographie
d’art avec le lancement de son projet media IMA, sous le slogan
« Living with Photography ». A travers la publication du magazine de
photographie artistique IMA, son portail web consacré à ce medium IMA Online
et l’organisation d’expositions et d’événements, IMA propose un tout nouveau
concept d’art de vivre au Japon : le plaisir, l’achat et la décoration au moyen
de la photographie artistique.
amana inc. a commencé l’édition et son activité de production avec Salto Ulbeek
en Belgique en 2012. amanasalto, une joint-venture de amana and Salto Ulbeek,
se concentre sur l’édition haut de gamme et la production en édition limitée de
tirages photographiques, livres et portfolios durables et de qualité.
Dans sa volonté de stimuler et soutenir le monde de la photographie artistique
japonaise, amana inc. a également entamé en 2011 la collection amana.
A PROPOS DU MAGAZINE IMA
IMA est un magazine de photographie fondé en août 2012 à Tokyo. Malgré le grand
nombre d’amateurs de photographie au Japon, aucun magazine n’avait jusque-là
donné aux lecteurs les moyens de critiquer et d’apprécier les images produites
par des photographes contemporains. En publiant les dernières actualités
du monde de la photographie, les oeuvres les plus captivantes de jeunes
photographes prometteurs ou d’artistes reconnus, et des essais critiques et
historiques sur la photographie, l’IMA accomplit sa principale mission: offrir
à ses lecteurs plusieurs manières d’apprécier la photographie.
amana a lancé son propre label d’édition en novembre 2013 – IMA photobooks –
pour promouvoir les jeunes talents emergents japonais. Le projet comprend aussi
une galerie – librairie – IMA CONCEPT STORE – crée en mars 2015, au cœur du
quartier Roppongi de Tokyo.
amana inc. et Paris Photo
amana inc. participe à Paris Photo en tant que partenaire et expert en
communication visuelle, le groupe amana partage avec Paris Photo une même
passion pour la photographie. Par conséquent, amana inc. est fier de soutenir
le Prix du Livre cette année.

LEICA ET PARIS PHOTO
Leica présente cette année une exposition inédite de Stéphane Duroy et P
aulo Nozolino, initiée par Paul Cottin. Les travaux menés en parallèle par
les deux photographes à l’occasion d’une résidence du Centre d’Art GwinZegal
en Bretagne du Nord, exhument des recoins de notre Histoire, les échos d’un
monde qui s’efface sans bruit, héritage d’une société paysanne en voie de
disparition. Deux photographes dont l’écriture dépouillée, l’économie d’images
et le refus du spectaculaire sont les traits communs. Deux regards austères
et sans concession.
Ce travail est exposé pour la première fois dans le cadre de Paris Photo.
Le livre sera disponible pendant la foire et fera l’objet d’une signature.
106
Engagement Leica pour la photographie
Leica Camera met en exergue la diversité des regards et de la création des
artistes contemporains à travers un réseau de 14 galeries dans le monde et son
soutien de festivals comme les Rencontres d’Arles, le festival de Sète, et des
foires telles que Paris Photo (Paris et Los Angeles) et pour la première fois
cette année Photo Shanghai.
Le groupe Leica attribue également trois prix de renommée internationale: le prix
Oskar Barnack Leica depuis 1979, le prix Leica Newcomer ainsi que le Hall of Fame.
Une page d’histoire
Leica puise sa notoriété au début du XX siècle, et a bouleversé les pratiques
photographiques liées à la technologie. Grâce à la commercialisation du petit
format d’appareil photo 24 x 36 Leica en 1925, le photographe devenait
« mobile dans le flux de l’action ». Ainsi, une page de l’histoire de la
photographie allait s’ouvrir avec l’avènement du photojournalisme.
Cette histoire est l’objet d’une grande exposition et d’un livre paru chez
Kehrer « Eye Wide Open, 100 years of Photography Leica » qui réunit plus
de 500 photographies, livres et documents historiques. Elle éclaire divers
aspects de la photographie réalisée au format 35 mm, du photojournalisme à
l’avant-garde, en passant par la photographie d’auteur, couvrant ainsi quatorze
chapitres de l’histoire de la photographie. Cette exposition itinérante qui a
commencé à Hamburg, compte déjà plus de 70000 visiteurs. Elle est actuellement
à la Fondation C/O Berlin.

Pernod Ricard, numéro deux mondial des Vins et Spiritueux, est né en 1975 du
rapprochement des sociétés françaises Ricard et Pernod. Depuis 40 ans, Pernod
Ricard fait rayonner à travers le monde sa signature « Créateurs de convivialité »
portée par ses marques iconiques que sont la vodka Absolut,
les Scotch Whiskies Ballantine’s et Chivas Regal, le rhum cubain Havana Club
ou encore le cognac Martell.
« L’Art est par nature un acte convivial parce qu’il se vit d’abord dans
le partage. Une œuvre d’art n’a de sens que dans le regard de l’autre »
rappelait Alexandre Ricard lors de l’annonce de la 40ième campagne artistique
de Pernod Ricard réalisée par l’artiste chinois Li Wei. Depuis 6 ans,
le Groupe s’associe plus particulièrement à des photographes de renommée
internationale : Marcos Lopez, Denis Rouvre, Eugenio Recuenco, Olaf Breuning,
Vee Speers…. Pernod Ricard a donné « carte blanche » à tous ces photographes
de talent. Une seule contrainte : prendre pour modèles les collaborateurs du
Groupe.
En cette année du quarantième anniversaire de Pernod Ricard, le photographe
chinois Li Wei, connu pour ses performances aériennes, a donc choisi de
« faire voler » 40 collaborateurs du Groupe au-dessus de quelques-uns de ses
sites historiques les plus emblématiques. France, Ecosse, Espagne, Suède ou
encore Irlande ont été les décors d’une campagne vécue comme une aventure
artistique collective. « Que l’on travaille dans un vignoble, sur une chaine
d’embouteillage, dans un service comptable, ou encore au marketing, à mille
lieux de la scène artistique, c’est la convivialité, le désir d’être ensemble
qui devient alors le moteur de la créativité » déclarait Li Wei à l’issue
de cette campagne.
Pour la première fois, Pernod Ricard et Li Wei exposeront le résultat de
cette campagne photo baptisée « Vision » à l’occasion de Paris Photo
du 11 au 15 novembre au Grand Palais.

CHAMPAGNE RUINART
108
La Maison Ruinart a posé la première pierre de son histoire le premier
septembre 1729. Depuis, elle n’a eu de cesse de bâtir l’excellence de ses
vins. Son choix œnologique, déterminé par la prédominance du Chardonnay dans
ses cuvées, est la signature de son savoir-faire authentique et reconnu.
Elégance, pureté, lumière définissent aujourd’hui l’univers de la Maison Ruinart.
Elle tire de ses trois siècles d’histoire la force de ses créations.
L’équilibre entre ses racines et l’audace de ses engagements est la clef de
son succès et en fait une Maison perpétuellement contemporaine.
La Maison Ruinart est née au cœur du « siècle des lumières », courant
intellectuel qui a fortement contribué à l’art de vivre à la française.
Le vivre, le développer et l’exporter est donc une mission très naturelle pour
la doyenne des Maisons de champagne.
Son engagement dans le domaine de l’Art s’exprime à travers sa participation
aux plus grandes foires d’art internationales mais aussi et surtout via ses
commissions auprès d’artistes de renom qui donnent leur vision de la Maison.
Une manière de faire partager son patrimoine, son histoire, son savoir-faire
et ses cuvées à travers le monde.

L’histoire de diptyque débute à Paris, au 34 boulevard Saint-Germain, autour
de trois amis animés d’une même passion créative : Christiane Gautrot est
architecte d’intérieur, Desmond Knox-Leet est peintre, et Yves Coueslant est
administrateur et décorateur de théâtre. Insatiable curiosité, sens aigu du
beau et du savoir-faire, un héritage qui guide depuis plus de 50 ans les
créations olfactives de la Maison. Parfums pour soi, art du soin ou senteurs
pour la maison sont empreints d’une signature distinctive et singulière.
Tissées des plus belles matières premières, bousculées par la fantaisie d’un
accord inattendu, les créations s’expriment hors des sentiers battus pour
mieux ravir les fidèles initiés et les amateurs éclairés. Un monde mystérieux
mais étonnamment familier, s’empare de chaque création. Graphisme, logo ovale,
ou scénettes racontant l’inspiration des eaux de toilette, dessinent une
esthétique attachante et inimitable. De par son histoire et sa sensibilité,
la création artistique, sous toutes ses formes fut toujours liée à l’histoire
de la Maison.
C’est donc tout naturellement que diptyque est heureux de s’associer, à
nouveau, à l’édition de Paris Photo 2015 où la richesse et le dynamisme des
galeries et des artistes présentés, contribuent à une diversité stimulante.

La RATP aime la ville, et participe tout naturellement à son rayonnement
artistique et culturel : un engagement qui s’exprime notamment à travers
son partenariat avec Paris Photo. La RATP est heureuse de compter parmi les
partenaires de la 18ème édition de Paris Photo, rendez-vous international des
passionnés de photographie contemporaine.
À travers la politique culturelle de la RATP, les transports parisiens
prennent une part active à l’effervescence de la vie artistique de la
capitale. La RATP s’attache à rendre son réseau de transports vivant,
agréable, plus humain et surprenant, en organisant des animations et des

La Photographie au cœur de la politique culturelle de la RATP
110
Grâce à la photographie, forme d’expression artistique accessible au plus
grand nombre, l’entreprise souhaite renforcer ses liens et échanges avec tous
ses publics, en donnant une plus grande envergure à la politique d’animation
de ses espaces, par le choix d’un parti-pris ambitieux. Faire découvrir des
artistes, sensibiliser à des sujets de société, inviter au voyage, accompagner
des talents… une façon de proposer à ses voyageurs de porter un nouveau regard
sur la ville.
Avec le dispositif « La RATP invite… », l’entreprise met régulièrement à
l’honneur le travail de photographes exposés dans des festivals ou expositions
de la région parisienne, en investissant massivement ses espaces.
Du 20 octobre 2015 au 24 janvier 2016, « La RATP invite Philippe Halsman »
avec le Jeu de Paume, et expose dans 16 stations des œuvres exclusives.
Sa devise « Étonnez-moi ! » s’illustre par ses étonnants portraits et mises
en scène, ou encore ses fameux jumps.

Une fois encore, Télérama est fier d’accompagner Paris Photo, rendez-vous
international des passionnés de photographie.
Un magazine dont la vocation est de rendre accessible au plus grand nombre
toutes les créations, toutes les cultures qui font la culture, peut-il ignorer
la photo ?
Télérama la soutient depuis longtemps. Dans ses pages d’abord, où elle
n’apparaît jamais en simple illustration, mais en contre-point, en témoignage
aussi important que l’écrit. Télérama est aussi de plus en plus attentif aux
meilleurs photographes – d’hier à aujourd’hui – et leur consacre portraits,
entretiens, décryptages ; cherche à analyser leurs images.
Notre magazine a même consacré, depuis 1982, plusieurs hors-séries à de grands
maîtres, tels Richard Avedon ou Raymond Depardon. Et récemment trois albumshommage de 68 pages à André Kertész , Eug ène Atget et Walker Evans.
Notre supplément parisien Sortir propose encore nombre d’expositions à visiter ;
et notre site web, riche en images, publie régulièrement des portfolios…
C’est donc naturellement, et heureusement, que Télérama est devenu le partenaire
privilégié de Paris Photo.

J’ai toujours pensé que le mariage photo + mobilier contemporain était parfait
! Quoi de plus joli qu’un beau tirage placé au-dessus d’un meuble créé par un
grand architecte de renom ? La photo s’intègre subtilement au décor et lui
donne une force, une âme. Bien souvent, elle fait ressortir la personnalité
de son propriétaire, ses tentations, ses rêves, ses fantasmes, ses non-dits,
ses doutes… C’est pourquoi IDEAT va de plus en plus entrer dans le monde
de la photo.
Du reste, le magazine a consacré l’ensemble de son numéro d’avril dernier à
l’un des plus grands photographes du moment, Erwin Olaf, qui, à, l’occasion
de ce numéro exceptionnel, a shooté une douzaine de photos pour le magazine.
IDEAT a délibérément choisi de tester la modernité.
Notre partenariat avec Paris Photo est une manière de montrer notre engagement
dans ce chemin vers la modernité. C’est surtout l’occasion de partager notre
enthousiasme avec un public sans cesse plus curieux de découvrir à la fois des
artistes et des tendances, et désireux d’être, lui aussi, au cœur de ce qui
fera toujours avancer le monde : la culture.
