Archives - June 22, 2023 Photographs of Jacques Léonard hanging on the picture rails of the Musée Réattu for the Rencontres d'Arles 2023, in no way would we have missed a single image. While the most Spanish of French photographers from the end of the last millennium, has never been programmed in his native country (with the exception of a few images presented by Anne Clergue in her Arles gallery).…

Urbanyellow URBAN YELLOW takes place within the realm of contemporary photography, with a keen eye for the "built environment." The series focuses on contemporary architecture—often Brutalist or minimalist—selected for its geometry and the way it carves out light. The structures are not merely documented; they are composed, framed, and treated as subjects in their own right. Within these architectural spaces, a recurring figure appears, dressed in yellow—always the same, always…

‘Triumphant Flood’: Saintes under water, the poetry of the river and the climate crisis A current event In February 2026, the Charente burst its banks. In Saintes, the quays disappeared beneath the water, the roads gave way, and the gardens faded into an ethereal atmosphere that seemed to rise from the river itself. The town awoke to a shifting mirror on the horizon, reflecting facades, trees and bridges, as if…

Earlier this year, I published my first photo zine, SEOUL. Rather than documenting landmarks, the project approaches the city through instinct — focusing on light, reflections, movement, and quiet everyday moments. Within the past two months, SEOUL has begun circulating across Asia, now stocked in bookstores in Seoul, Hong Kong, and Bangkok. It has also been featured by FLiPER (Taiwan), with an upcoming photo essay in art4d (Thailand). Website

Quiet Encounters This series brings together wildlife encounters shaped by patience, distance, and observation. Photographed across different landscapes in India, the work has developed over time through repeated visits and sustained attention to the same environments. Rather than focusing on action, the images explore moments of stillness, brief pauses where presence becomes more apparent than movement. A glance, a shift in posture, or the way light settles across a scene…

Health Spaces 'Health Spaces' is a photographic series developed in Madrid between 2022 and 2023, initiated in the aftermath of the Covid-19 crisis. I am a Romanian artist based in Madrid, working with a socially engaged lens-based practice informed by psychogeography. I refer to these works as retratos de ciudades sin gente (portraits of cities without people), where absence becomes a method of observation across geographical diversity. Through a restrained…

My Grandfather’s Croatia: 140 Years After He Arrived in the United States My grandfather, Martin Anthony Petrich, was only seven years old when he was brought to the United States in 1877. His father had preceded him, disembarking in Los Angeles, but he died shortly after his arrival. On his deathbed, he told his son: "Martin, you are now the head of the family." When I was still a very…

Psychodynamic Symmetries Psychodynamic Symmetries explores how everyday environments can be transformed into emotionally charged visual structures through mirroring, repetition, and digital intervention. Working exclusively with mobile photography, Maximilian Vermilye reconfigures real-world observations into symmetrical compositions that reveal latent patterns of perception, tension, and balance. The series moves between organic and constructed spaces, treating the image as a site where psychological states and visual form converge. www.maxphv.art

Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Cogitations Without wanting to succumb to nostalgia—other than the poetic kind—we all find ourselves making comparisons: around yesterday and today. It’s funny to note that these comparisons are very rarely based on objective evidence or facts. In fact, they are most often mere assessments of impressions or feelings, which, moreover, are more or less distorted by the passage of time for those of us who are older.…
