Vu mag numero 2 Japan contemporary photography journal
Pour son 2ème numéro, réalisé dans le cadre de Paris-Photo et qui sortira le jour de son inauguration, VU MAG a choisi pour thème un face à face avec le Japon. Un face à face entre l’Occident, son appétit insatiable pour l’archipel nippon, et le Japon, plus précisément les modèles qu’il nous transmet. Un face à face qui repose, d’abord, sur la dimension initiatique qui détermine tout voyage au Japon (Partie 1 : Là bas) puis se situe dans la perspective de l’expérience et de la sagesse (Partie 2 : Revivre) pour s’achever par une combinaison étrange d’envie et d’inquiétude face à un pays sans cesse happé vers l’éphémèr... - Exposition
Exhibition : « Photo London Somerset House » by Cynthia Greig
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... - Exposition
Risaku Suzuki's exhibition « Stream of consciousness »
Christophe Guye Galerie proudly presents Risaku Suzuki’s second solo exhibition at the gallery. It follows a major exhibition of the same name at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in 2015. The exhibition comprises a selection of works from the series Sakura, White, Water Mirror and Between the Sea and the Mountain-Kumano, all created over the last six years.
"Japan is emerging from a period of significant trauma after the Tōhoku earthquake and ensuing tsunami. The 2011 earthquake was the most powerful in Japan since modern measuring began more than a hundred years ago; among its disastrous consequences was the meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. In light of these traumatic events, are Suzuki’s images from his home Kumano region a retreat to nature, there to find solace? Lush forests, pr... - Exposition
Summer Loves
This exhibition is based on the idea of 'infatuations' that can affect both photographers and exhibition curators. People often suppose that museums make choices as objectively as possible, but actually this is far from from the truth. Just as an artist may feel physically and emotionally attracted to a particular subject, the collector or curator might also have a ‘crush’ on a certain work. The term ‘the infatuated camera’ comes from the title of a 1971 film by Ed van der Elsken, De Verliefde Camera, a compilation of travel clips previously filmed by him. This exhibition has been assembled in a similar way; photographs and film rushes from the present day contrast with excerpts and impressions from the previous century. Works have been seemingly casually arranged according to summery themes: hang...
