Les Beatles et les Rolling Stones, Oxford et Cambridge, Shakespeare et Agatha Christie, qui dit mieux ? Conduite à gauche, première femme Premier Ministre, non à l?euro... oui à la différence ! Alors, la photo dans tout ça, une institution ou une nouvelle donne ? Même s?il est audacieux et vain de vouloir désigner un style photographique anglais, il se dégage à travers ce choix d?images que nous publions comme un parfum culturel des plus insensés. Nous retrouvons les thématiques britanniques que l?on connaît si bien : ce goût raffiné pour la nature, le théâtre, les mises en scène élaborées, l?humour, la critique sociale...Ainsi, en ouverture de la revue, Tim Walker nous donne à...
In the 1990s, Simon Norfolk abandoned traditional photojournalism in favour of photographing landscapes shaped by war and genocide. His primary concern is with the aftermath of conflict – to record beyond the surface of events, and to show the nature of war through its lasting effects and consequences. Afghanistan: Chronotopia is already recognised as a classic of photography. First published in 2002 the work received international acclaim and established Norfolk as one of the UK's most respected photographers.

A haunting and beautiful limited edition book from the internationally respected photographer, Simon Norfolk. Norfolk's photographs initially appear almost abstract. Yet through these still and beautiful images of ice, water, snow and the land, we can sense the arrogance of killers who believed they could conceal the brutal evidence of their crimes by reburying their victims in ‘secondary' graves. But over time secrets escape, and the truth bleeds out.

« Pour cette neuvième édition des Photaumnales, nous avons souhaité une programmation aux multiples facettes photographiques,
tel un kaléidoscope, pour construire une image éphémère, à la fois douce, nostalgique, parfois douloureuse, qui nous ramène au
passage de temps, à l’aune de l’histoire ou de nos propres vies, si petites et si importantes à la fois, dans des préoccupations qui
nous sont communes.
« De passage » est exploré et décliné par chacune des expositions présentées. De l’enfance à la vieillesse, de l’adolescence
à la mort. De la relation amoureuse. Des rencontres. Du passage de flambeau, de l’examen de passage ou d...

Michael Hoppen Gallery's press release
Part of the fascination with all photography is that the medium is firmly grounded in the documentary tradition. It has been used as a record of crime scenes, zoological specimens, lunar and space exploration, phrenology, fashion and importantly, art and science. It has been used as ‘proof’ of simple things such as family holidays and equally of atrocities taking place on the global stage. Any contemporary artist using photography has to accept the evidential language embedded in the medium.
In this exhibition the Michael Hoppen Gallery exhibits a myriad of different images including 19th, 20th c. and contemporary works of art. Seemingly disparate these images have a shared gravitas, a weightiness that emanates from their documentary function. Many ...
Communiqué de presse
John Burke et Simon Norfolk
«Photographs from the War in Afghanistan»
John Burke était un photographe de guerre irlandais dont les nombreuses images de la seconde guerre anglo-afghane (1878-1880) constituent un témoignage extraordinaire, malheureusement méconnu.
Grâce à la technique du collodion humide, extrêmement contraignante (prises de vues sur plaques de verre à l'aide de lourdes chambres photographiques), il a enregistré des dizaines de paysages, de champs de bataille, de sites archéologiques, de scènes de rue, ainsi que de nombreux portraits d’officiers britanniques, de dignitaires et de civils afghans.
Il s’agit du tout premier “reportage” réalisé en Afg...
Communiqué de presse de Stimultania
Une évidence saute aux yeux quand on entre dans l’espace quasi-sylvestre – et totalement métamorphosé – de stimultania : la photographie respire dans les livres.
Plus de cent noms – présentés à travers des objets bibliophiliques et des ouvrages de référence – sont déployés dans l’espace du pôle de photographie. Un parti pris inventif pour un credo porté haut et fort : défendre une photographie sans distance frileuse, vive et écorchée, une photographie debout, en prise avec l’homme. A l’heure où la matérialité de l’image est prônée comme l’un des axes forts d’éducati...
"Conflict, Time, Photography" presents the many facets of the artistic portrayal of armed conflicts using the medium of photography. Artists such as Don McCullin, Pierre-Antony-Thouret, Simon Norfolk, Stephen Shore, Michael Schmidt and Taryn Simon have depicted acts of war and their legacy, in photographs taken in the mo-ment of the action, as well as days, months, years, and even decades after the event. This major group exhibition has no intention of serving as a ‘history of war photography’, however. It instead explores the various possibilities and strategies that artists and photographers have adopted to try to come to terms with violent conflict, in the hope of overcoming it. On show are some 200 works ranging from a period of just over 150 years in the history of photography, from 1855 to 201...
Brighton, England-based Simon Norfolk, described by one critic as “the leading documentary photographer of our time,” is a landscape photographer whose work over fifteen years has been themed around a probing of the word “battlefield” in all its forms. Born in Nigeria and educated at Oxford and Bristol Universities, where he studied philosophy and sociology, Norfolk has photographed in some of the world’s worst warzones and refugee crises, but is equally at home photographing supercomputers used to design military systems or test launches of nuclear missiles.

From the seconds after a bomb is detonated to a former scene of battle years after a war has ended, this moving exhibition focuses on the passing of time, tracing a diverse and poignant journey through over 150 years of conflict around the world, since the invention of photography.

In an innovative move, the works are ordered according to how long after the event they were created from moments, days and weeks to decades later. Photographs taken seven months after the fire bombing of Dresden are shown alongside those taken seven months after the end of the First Gulf War. Images made in Vietnam 25 years after the fall of Saigon are shown alongside those made in Nakasaki 25 years after the atomic bomb. The result is the chance to make never-before-made connections while viewing the legacy o...
Deux regards vifs, une surprenante collaboration et l’histoire d’un pays réunissent deux photographes autour de l’exposition « Photographs from the War in afghanistan ». Simon Norfolk et John Burke. Le premier investit le thème du « champ de bataille » sur les territoires en conflit et s’associe au second, considéré alors comme le précurseur du photojournalisme à la fin du XiXe siècle. Les guerres d’afghanistan, l’impérialisme anglais, la douceur des images, le respect porté sur un pays ravagé, sont autant de thèmes communs à l’œuvre de ces deux photographes façonnés par l’afghanistan. et pourtant, plus d’un siècle les sépare.

Capture the past. That was the assignment photographers Bruno Vandermeulen and Danny Veys were given at the archaeological site of Sagalassos in Turkey. How does a photographer approach the past? When photographing the ancient city, Vandermeulen and Veys decided not just to record the archaeological finds, but to question the very objectivity of the lens itself.
This was the starting point for Imaging History. How does one look at something that is no longer there? Do we have enough imagination, or does it vary according to the vision of the photographer? Along with Vandermeulen and Veys, five internationally renowned photographers - Shimon Attie (USA, 1957), Raphaël Dallaporta (FR, 1980) Sally Mann (USA, 1951), Bart Michiels (BE, °1964) and Simon Norfolk (NGA, 1963) - present a series of images and appro...
Burke + Norfolk: Photographs from the war in Afghanistan. «Burke is an enigma; working with him was like looking for a man amongst shadows. He left no diaries or records, unlike other Imperial photographers from the same generation. There are no photographs of him. In a couple of sketches we see him from behind, but never his face; that has to be more than just reticence, surely?» Simon Norfolk
Michael Hoppen Contemporary is pleased to present a new series of photographs by Simon Norfolk, commissioned by Tate Modern. In the autumn of 2010 Simon Norfolk began a photographic project in Afghanistan, taking its cue from the work of nineteenth century British photographer John Burke. Norfolk’s images reimagine or respond to Burke’s Afghan war scenes in the context of the contemporary conflict. A...
Bonni Benrubi Gallery is pleased to announce a group exhibition, GLOBETROTTING. Presenting new work by the gallery’s stable of contemporary photographers alongside classic mid-century work, this exhibition invites the viewer on a voyage around the world. Each photographer’s work on view offers a unique perspective and approach to age-old themes of travel, discovery and wanderlust.
Highlights include Doug Hall, a new gallery artist, who not only photographs soaring urban landscapes and interior spaces from around the world, but also reflects on tourists as they enjoy holiday moments at well-known attractions such as the Pantheon. New color work by Abelardo Morell brings the Italian landscape inside; infusing physical context and enchantment into the interior spaces he transforms into room-sized Camera Obscu...
We are delighted to announce Full Spectrum Dominance, the first solo exhibition of work by Simon Norfolk at Michael Hoppen Contemporary.
This new series of photographs of military rocket and missile launches in America continues Norfolk’s exploration of the Sublime in the landscape. To capture these images, Norfolk gained access into the guarded world of satellite launches and nuclear missile tests at locations including Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California
These missiles and rockets are born in utter secrecy, launched from closed military bases and live out their lives in the soundless dark of deep space. They are what Norfolk terms the ‘Military Sublime’ the height of human achievement harnessed, not for beauty, but to find more ingenious ways for us to kill each other. There ...
