Photoquai 2015 commence aujourd'hui. L'occasion de découvrir des photographes du monde entier, mais pas que. Photoquai, c'est aussi le plaisir de découvrir des thématiques originales, bien loin des stéréotypes habituels, souvent réducteurs et misérabilistes dès lors qu'il s'agit d'évoquer l'Afrique ou encore le Moyen-Orient.

Photoquai enfin, c'est une parité presque parfaite, doublée d'une gratuité totale. Filez donc découvrir ces hommes et ces femmes de talent, exposé...
ROGER BALLEN
In the 1970s, Roger Ballen (United States, 1950) began portraiture work on people and towns in South Africa, where he has lived to date. In the 90s, he moved away from documentary photography to explore fiction with composite images where beauty and anguish coexist. In them, people and animals are shown with unsettling poses in compositions formed by wires, shadows, sheets, stained walls, drawings and material scraps. These images with their surrealist shadings convey feelings of psychological disorientation and physical abandonment.
Featured among Ballen’s publications are Boarding House (Phaidon, 2009), Shadow Chamber (Phaidon, 2005), Fact or Fiction (Galerie Kamel Mennour, 2003) and Outland (Phaidon, 2001).
Ballen is the founder of the Roger Ballen Foundation, which promotes education on phot...

The World in London is a major public art project initiated by The Photographers’ Gallery, to coincide with the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The project set out to commission 204 photographic portraits of 204 Londoners, each originating from one of the nations competing at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The portraits will be exhibited as large-scale posters at two sites close to Olympic venues: on the external wall surrounding the BT London Live site in Victoria Park in East London, and across a city-block in Central London covering the façade of the new Park House development in Oxford Street.

CLINIC est le premier numéro d’une série d’expositions de photographies contemporaines initiées par Rémi Faucheux et l’association RVB.
Le projet CLINIC a pour ambition d’explorer l’esthétique de l’univers médical à travers la photographie contemporaine. Détachés des préoccupations propres au photojournalisme, onze photographes ont confronté la singularité de leur regard à l’une des multiples facettes de ce thème. Développés en partie dans le cadre de résidences d’artistes au sein de centres hospitaliers, leurs travaux livrent une vision intime de ces espaces ou de leurs résidents.

Développés en partie dans le cadre de résidences d'artistes au sein de centres hospitaliers, leurs travaux livrent une vision intime de ces espaces ou de leurs résidents. Stefan Ruiz a concentré son approche sur les urgences du CHU de Rouen. Ce service incarne à ses yeux un système dédié à répondre aux " drames " de la vie, dans le sens théâtral. Il photographie les a...
Mexican American photographer Stefan Ruiz captures the stars, sets and melodrama of 'telenovelas' - Latin American soap operas, in the latest Open Eye Gallery exhibition, The Factory of Dreams.
For the past two years Ruiz has gained special access to the TV studios of Mexican media giant Televisa, known as 'The Factory of Dreams', where crews work year round to produce 50,000 hours worth of telenovelas annually for export to 110 countries. Taking us behind the scenes, Ruiz reveals a vast industry virtually unheard of in the West, but adored throughout Latin America and the non-Western world.
These tales of revenge, love and intrigue have captivated viewers as far afield as the Philippines, Eastern Europe and Russia, where the soap Los Ricos Tambien Lloran (The Rich Also Cry) became the most watched TV series in h...
