Particles, a human tale of dying water, a poetic and photographic manifesto for ocean preservation.

ANAÏS BOUDOT . PABLO PICASSO . BRASSAÏ 

based on an original idea of the Eyes

Anaïs Boudot has created a series of works on a set of anonymous glass plates from her collection, all of which represent female figures. A modernity in the materials, in the light as well as in the tone that both challenges and imposes itself in this vis-à-vis with Picasso and Brassaï.

ANTOINE D’AGATA X CHARLES BAUDELAIRE

For Charles Baudelaire, the photographic medium (then from the beginning) was not an art but a technical means of representing reality. Yet it is a contemporary photographer, Antoine d’Agata, who today revisits Baudelaire’s texts and universe. As a counterpoint to Baudelaire, d’Agata reworks his own photographs through digital intervention to return to engraving, as if to move from the pixel to the line of the time. He pushes photography to its limits, mistreats it, does violence to it, discards the medium to return to the raw, to the essential, to the material, to a purified line.

artistic parallel

An artist’s book bringing together 27 photographs by Antoine d’Agata and 25 graphic works by Francis Bacon.
