Sofitel, fashion, photography, the United States and Europe : what a marvellous combination and magical bond between the capitals of the two continents!
The « Fashion Stills » show, designed and staged by Polka Galerie in ten Sofitel in North America and Europe, is a major international first. Four talented photographers have succeeded in capturing unique moments on the haute couture catwalk, via an eccentric pose or by immortalising a dress, a design or a celebrated fashion designer’s workdesk. Symbol of French elegance and ambassador of French culture throughout the world, the Sofitel brand is delighted to fully support and participate in these events. I hope that you will be as enthusiastic about this exceptional exhibition as we are.

The history of photography is recent. Less intimidating than painting, its landmarks are familiar. And it is possible to quickly refine your knowledge and become more and more expert in purchasing photographs thanks to the multiplication of exhibitions dedicated to them. Jean-Philippe Charbonnier, a great journalist, once said : « Photography is the shortest way from a man to another ». Indeed, looking at a photographic limited edition is appreciating the look of a photographer. He fixed an image, which was then interpreted during the developing and finally printed on paper.
Polka invites you to cover this path, which gives a meaning to photography. With the photographers, we select exceptional pieces and tell you their stories. We are happy to share our passion with the Sofitel hotels together around this beautiful story that is fashion.

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...
