Fovea is pleased to present Double Blind – Lebanon Conflict 2006, a profoundly moving photographic essay by award winning Magnum Photos member Paolo Pellegrin.
The exhibition will open at Fovea’s gallery in Beacon, New York on Second Saturday, January 12, 2008. The public is invited to attend an opening reception on January 12th from 4pm to 8pm. Mr. Pellegrin is expected to be present and available to sign his accompanying book to the exhibition, published by Trolley press.
While on assignment in southern Lebanon in 2006 for The New York Times, Pellegrin captured the grief of the Lebanese population in the face of the Israeli air strikes. His images reveal the despair of families and friends witnessing the deaths of their loved ones while around them their homes are destroyed.
While covering this story, Pellegrin was injured by shrapnel and suffered a concussion during a missile attack. In 2007 he was awarded the Robert Capa Gold Medal Award from the Overseas Press Club for this work, which recognizes international reporting “requiring exceptional courage and enterprise.” These photographs also earned him a first place prize from the World Press Photo competition, based in Amsterdam.
DIEHL starts its “Flaneur” selection with 42 works of the Soviet photo journalist Dmitry Baltermants. Best known for his pictures of the Soviet battlefield during World War II.
During World War II, Baltermants covered major battles for Izvestia and for the Red Army newspaper Na Razgrom Vraga. He fought and photographe...

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...
