In a series of black and white images of the German landscape made between 1987 and 1997, Michael Schmidt has forged a new pictorial language to deconstruct the world he observes. Concerned with light and form, Schmidt’s images contain a wealth of silver tones, a spectrum of rich greys which evolve from light to dark in mystical, imperceptible gradients. But the black and white filter is also a tool that allows Schmidt to neutralise the world, impeding the subjective perception of his viewer. It is through his editorial process, a process of montage, that Schmidt constructs an interior dialect, fashioning a self-contained world within the linear sequence of the book.

Time seems to stand still in the mountain villages of the Bioko, a small ethnic group in Ukraine’s Carpathians. “I have always been interested in the primal forms of country life, maybe because I grew up in a big city”, says Polish photographer Jan Brykczyński. “Here, I discovered a world as I knew it from childhood fairy tales. A world in which events have magical reasons, where white and black magic struggle and the good fights the bad!” Brykczyński worked in the small village of Karpatskoye in Western Ukraine between 2009 and 2012. His poetic images tell of it's everyday, of the people and the landscape in which they live.
Jan Brykczyński, born 1979, lives and works in Warsaw. In 2014 BOIKO was his first international book publication. In the meantime Dewi Lewis has also pub...
L'exposition Horizons présente les travaux de douze jeunes photographes européens invités, dans le cadre de la deuxième édition de l'European Photo Exhibition Award, à travailler autour du « nouveau social ». Souligné par plusieurs analyses récentes, ce « nouveau social » est le résultat de la fragmentation des espaces et discours publics et de l'augmentation de nouveaux types de tensions sociales.

The exhibition Horizons presents the work of 12 young European photographers who have been invited to focus on the "new social" within the framework of the second edition of the European Photo Exhibition Award. Highlighted by several recent analyses, this "new social" stems from the fragmentation of spaces and public discourses and the rise of new kinds of social tension. Accordingly, the 12 artists participating in this prize explore themes related to this emerging social landscape and reveal significant changes in the areas of cultural identity, lifestyle, communication, territory, and politics. Through urban landscapes, photojournalism, reportage, portraiture, and staging, these photographers have each interpreted the subject in their own way while remaining profoundly marked by their cultures.
