« L’axe central d’un Cabinet de Curiosités à la Renaissance est le collectionneur lui-même, qui collectionne de manière encyclopédique et selon ses critères des objets hétérogènes qu’il organise en fonction de ses goûts, intérêts et passions. Il s’agit d’une démarche subjective, dont le résultat est la restitution d’un monde personnel et souvent magique.
Je choisis de réunir des images d’animaux extraordinaires et inquiétants, de portraits à la temporalité ambigüe et des machines contemporaines qui ressemblent étrangement à des décors du passé. J’interroge également la pratique photograph...

Andrey Bogush, Russie / Finlande "Mon travail se concentre actuellement sur la perception des objets et le gestaltisme, soit la psychologie de la forme. Je mène des recherches très formelles sur la nature morte, par le biais du médium photographique, avec l’interférence ponctuelle de la manipulation digi...
At this years Photo London, Christophe Guye Galerie juxtaposes European with Asian artists who, in different approaches and unique techniques, scrutinize humanity and their environment and straddle the line between photography and art.
While photography is often seen as the amplification of something, Stephen Gill (*1971, Great Britain) tries the opposite. He wants to quieten things and not enhancing them. This tension stimulates the viewer to think of his or her own story. Ina Jang (*1982, South Korea) creates work with a playful and poetic spirit. Constructive and deconstructive alike her work is physical, gentle, and humorous, introducing new meanings to familiar objects while exploring a collapse of dimensions in photography. Rinko Kawauchi (*1972, Japan) explores the extraordinary in the everyday life, drawn to t...
Foley Gallery is delighted to present photographer Ina Jang's first New York solo exhibition, all roses are red, all birds are blue.
Ina Jang creates work that is both playful and poetic. Many of her images start off with figures that become obscured in their surreal, hyper-stimulated environments. Her use of muted colors and surfaces creates a complex and multidimensional world in which reality and fiction are intertwined.
Jang says, "I make images that are minimal and two-dimensional by layering people, places and things to precisely execute ideas, but with the intention of discarding information. As I want the ideas to be tangible, the process becomes rigorously physical and related to my personal experience in terms of making photographs; it often contains cutting, gluing and pasting mundane objects fr...
Christophe Guye Galerie is proud to announce its upcoming exhibition THE YOUTH CODE!, an exciting group show conceived by Swiss curator Nathalie Herschdorfer, former curator of the Mus ée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, featuring emerging and established international photography artists alike. Circling the theme of youth – the idealisation thereof as well as the difficulties it bares – and the omnipresent images of youth and youth culture created by adults and adolescents alike, THE YOUTH CODE! investigates this prominent phenomenon while suggesting it as an independent contemporary photographic genre. Presenting an intriguing mix of real and imaginary images the exhibition doesn’t try to present a collective portrait of adolescence, but rather brings together the work of various intern...
