NUDE, SUBVERSIVE FEMININE LOOK AT FOTOGRAFISKA
Through its historical theme, this exhibition gives the nude a new lease of life. Avoiding the essentialization of the model as well as the artist, the images offer other perspectives of representation, embracing the fluidity of gender expressions. Thus, the exhibition “Nude” formulates a question more than an answer, that of the current and future […]
Photographic poetry
Damian Noszkowicz unveiled his new project, “GOSSOMER,” during an exhibition held in the former loft of Andréé Putman in Paris: images and words that testify to his journey from Poland to Paris and his emotional memories. In 2020, when the world stopped, Damian Noszkowicz took advantage of the time, free to go through his personal […]
ORLAN
Iconoclastic To make her body “a place of public debate”: this is the iconoclastic vocation that ORLAN gave herself nearly sixty years ago. Photographs, videos, sculptures, installations, performances, bodily metamorphoses, and virtual hybridizations… she has made a manifesto of her work and her life. A feminist and subversive manifesto as the retrospective (conceived with the […]
PETRINA HICKS, FLOATING SENSUALISM
The velvet of the skin meets the light of the scales and feathers of a foreign body. The snake and the owl, chthonic symbols at the junction between the human and underground worlds, night and day, carry with them the roots of the world and the myths of a remote time, and dialogue, nose to […]
MARTINE GUTIERREZ, REAPPROPRIATING ARTIFICE
Fashion photography? Retro-pop video clip? In her work, Martine Gutierrez uses visual conventions and stereotypical, popular iconography, except that she plays all the roles. At the same time photographer, costume designer, and model, unlike the advertisements of women’s magazines, the proposed image of herself is controlled, chosen, reappropriated. Thus, she is part of the lineage […]
LOVE SONGS
Photography as a caress “For me, photography is the opposite of detachment. It is a way of touching the other: it is a caress.” This magnificent definition of photography in the form of a declaration of love by Nan Goldin is a beautiful entry into the intimacy of the love scenes presented at the Maison […]
NUAGES
Trying to seize something that runs away, a form that disintegrates, catching the movement… it is this impossible task that, from the top of mountains, whether it is raining, winding or snowing, armed with his pencils and brushes and his beautiful fervor, Jean-Baptiste Née pursues relentlessly. He is the follower of a long line of […]

Whether you choose a work already in the catalog or prefer to develop your own concept […]
SARAH WAISWA, SOCIOLOGICAL POETRY
Under the lens of Sarah Waiswa, faces are offered with gentleness, and individuals seem to dance in the sun of the African continent, bearers of history as much as of renewal. With her artistic and documentary work, photographer Sarah Waiswa seeks to translate the social issues of contemporary Africa, as a passage towards potential solutions. […]
ELENA HELFRECHT, SLEEPLESS LANDSCAPES
Behind our illuminated houses, there is an unmentionable night world, where plants and animals take over the space, where inanimate objects enter into conversations, where built walls are carried away in the mist and the light. This is the photographic world of Elena Helfrecht. This world appears to us closer to introspective narration or to […]
ERIK JOHANSSON
The dream factory A field strewn with stars, a delivery of full moons, a swarm of fish… A virtuoso of distortion and collusion of images, playing with photographic illusionism with the irreverent audacity of poets and the deceptive ingenuity of magicians, Erik Johansson has been dreaming, imagining, constructing, and photographing since 2007, parallel worlds born […]
