It's all about light this year. Light as it is scattered and coloured by glass; Light as it is spirited by the painter; Light as it is captured by the photographer.
In the words of Eugenia Parry, in her essay on Bayard, “Looking was delicious”. Why should this not still be so, I ask? Hippolyte Bayard is counted among the inventors, artists, and magicians of photography. His works are great rarities in the art market, as he left almost the entirety of his work to the Société Française de Photographie, which he co-founded in 1854. While Daguerre is known for eternalising his images on silver-coated copper plates, it was Bayard who in 1839 was the first on the European continent (excepting Talbot and some others in England) to successfully produce photographs on paper. The ethereal photo of “Hera Barberini” is a direct positive print, and thus a true original and unique. It has been hidden away in the library of a noble French family for 160 years, now to be shown for the first time. We hope to have completed our publication on Bayard, including the rather illuminating discourse, written by Parry, in time to have available at our stand.
My presentation of 16 photographs by Hippolyte Bayard is a singular event

Le 24 mars 1976, le peuple argentin subit un coup d’état militaire. C’est le début d’une ère de répression sanglante, où quelque 30 000 personnes disparaissent et près de 500 bébés sont volés. Mais s’ouvre également une période d’ultralibéralisme d&ea...

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
