All Roads Lead to Milan "All Roads Lead to Milan" is a photographic inquiry into the liminal spaces that define a city in constant, restless transformation. By tracing the access routes and ring roads—once rural borders, now concrete frontiers—the project explores the complexity of the Milanese margins. Moving between futuristic architecture and industrial ruins, the series depicts a fragmented urban reality where the promise of the "new" often clashes with…
In my latest series, OUR BODIES, OURSELVES focuses on the multi-generational struggle among all women to be seen and heard and granted the fundamental human rights men enjoy with regards to making decisions about their own bodies and having a voice. Therefore, with our country’s startling abuse of power when it comes to women’s rights, I created OUR BODIES, OURSELVES. This was the result of a dream I had as…

Cinema & Dance - Art in movement A hybrid discipline located in particular at the crossroads of choreography and cinematography. This is an exchange rendering cinematic choreography and choreographic cinematography. First of all, an obvious thing: dance and cinema have a profound point in common. Both are arts of movement. How a dancer crosses a stage, how an actress crosses a shot, are a way of saying how they inhabit…
The photographic work of the Belgian artist Lisa De Boeck is based on impulses she got from an early age and then throughout the years she continued the reflexive use of the camera through occasional self-portraiture. As a result, the work selected for the first exhibition in the framework of the residency at Villa Pérochon during ‘Les Rencontres 2022 de la jeune photographie internationale’ at Niort, focuses primarily on self-portraits…
Quatre Instants de Nudité / Four Moments of Nudity I have been taking photos with models, mainly female, for a very long time. Why only photos of women? Surely because women are a great source of inspiration for me. Certainly also, for this book, I wanted to idealize everything that makes their differences, their beauty, their sweetness, their emotions, their power of seduction. I also appreciate this exchange, this trust, even this complicity…

Archives - June 8, 2020 Duane Michals never became bored during confinement. Between reading, writing, he composed the series Gipsy Rose Me, thought as a continuation of Bozo Boy on Parade, part of his film series The Corona Follies (2020). “At the beginning of the shutdown, there was an article about my 1964 series Empty New York, when once I had loved the novelty of the early morning in New York, empty of activity. And now, 56…

We learned yesterday of the passing of Duane Michals. There is so much to say about Duane, and yet, why should we? His images speak for themselves, for him; beyond the legendary photographer, he was a poet, a surrealist one who invited us for decades in his world where we, at turns, could be amused, surprised, challenged but always touched. Today, exceptionally, to pay tribute to Duane there will be…
Archives - February 21, 2012 Born February 18, 1932 in McKeesport Pennsylvania, Duane Michals called Margaret and John, Mum and Dad. Everyone called him Sonny. Attending Holy Trinity School, he was a good Catholic, who believed every lie the Church taught and was a good boy. He delivered the Pittsburgh Post Gazette every morning. Thus his adventures began. Duane Michals
Archives - February 21, 2012 At McKeesport High School, Sonny was the news editor of The Red and Blue. During his fifteenth summer, Duane Michals found his way to Amarillo, Texas with Jimmy Connelly on a Greyhound bus. There they hitchhiked up to the Oklahoma panhandle to work on the wheat crops. Alas they were too small. Having received a scholarship from the University of Denver, Sonny who was then…
Archives - February 21, 2012 During the Korean War, Sonny became a second lieutenant in armor when he was a green twenty-one and luckily exported to Deutschland. The alternative Korea certainly would have been his great goodbye. Now a civilian again, Duane Michals was hired at TIME, Inc. as a graphic designer. On a lark, Duane went to Russia, as a tourist, with a borrowed camera and found his bliss,…
