A change of direction has been underway in Syria over the last few days, following a sudden upheaval in the political situation and the fall of Damascus, which led to the long-awaited departure of the Assad clan.


Here are some images of Syria taken in July 2002, during a two-week visit through the country.

You can see more photographs of the Middle East (Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon) on my Website.




Un changement de direction est à l'oeuvre depuis quelques jours en Syrie, après un chamboulement éclair de la situation politique et la chute de Damas ayant entraîné le départ tant attendu du clan Assad.


Suivent ici quelques images de la Syrie prises en juillet 2002 lors d’un séjour de deux semaines à travers le pays.

Vous pouvez voir d'autres photographies sur le Moyen-Orient (Jordanie, Egypte, Liban) sur mon site Internet.

The Pavlovka pinhole fest is organized annually by the Pavlovka Art Gallery located in Kiev, Ukraine, since 2017.


This is an international festival dedicated to pinhole photography with authors from almost all corners of the world.


I will be part of the Pavlovka pinhole fest exhibition this summer, together with 60 others photographers.







 




I will show three colors photographs from the photo book Gröna Lund.


Format: 233x130 mm, 96 pages, 63 scanned photographs from colour negatives

4/4 printing

Paper: Munken lynx 170g (insert), Munken lynx 400g (cover), open spine binding

ISBN 9789152730478











 




All the photographs are captured with a pinhole panoramic camera (frame 24×56 mm), on 35mm colour film.


The amazing lines, contours and silhouettes of Gröna Lund are surprisingly well-suited to being captured by pinhole camera – the amusement park is a huge assemblage of infrastructure, with the myriad overlapping and criss-crossing angles of the various buildings and wooden and metal structures, the seemingly endless ingenious confluences and crossings of beams, tracery and buttresses.





The camera is handmade by Le Rouge, Alternative Photography.






 


The opening of the exhibition is on

Friday 21th July, 18:00



Hetman museum

Spasska str. 16 b - 04070 Kiev, Ukraine


Welcome !

I will exhibit four photographs at the Community Hall in Arrigas (France) between July 23 and August 7, 2022, together with five others artists.


The exhibition "Regards d'artistes" will show paintings, drawings, sculptures, photos and collages, and is organized by the Cultural Committee of the Arrigas Municipality.


The photographs are part of the project I started for a few years ago about Arrigas, a village in the Gard department in southern France and located in the Cévennes mountains range.


You can read and see more about the project here.



The opening is on Saturday 23, at 5 pm


Welcome to Arrigas !
