DAVID LEDOUX vision abstract
Vision Abstract is the new exhibition of photographer’s David Ledoux, opened from now at the OFR gallery in Paris. His argentic work is based on light in a computer free environment. He likes challenging laws of physics to arrive to a certain surrealist feel with a soft grainyness, a coarse finish and unexpected floating threads of light to form shapes. It’s all about questionning the paradoxes between light and movement. Definitely step in!

PRESENZA ASSENZA Italian born photographer Daniele Tedeschi lives in Paris. Energetic and passionate, he dedicates his works to life and its interpretations.
He comes back today with a special photographic project calls Presenza Assenza started few years ago in Italy and still continued today with a compulsive fury! My hand enters the picture to capture the character and make it appear or disappear from its context and is only depending on my mood…
A kind of imaginary quest of itself, of us, of the life which is perhaps a necessary escape?
Most of the black and white photos were shot by using argentic film process with my personal Olympus MIU! Story telling in triptych form, multiple images sequences or stills. All these stories are mainly buried in my notebooks, themselves locked into an old cardboard suitcase at home. But i’ve decided today to reveal part of this work while reserving some other safe from prying eyes … Waiting for a first book and an exhibition soon… Photos by Daniele TEDESCHI
TIM BARBER relations On view now at Capricious 88 Gallery, Tim Barber’s Relations presents a meticulously curated selection of the photographer’s latest works. Coherent with his established aesthetic, Barber continues to explore the potential energy held by everyday subject matter to produce images of ethereal quality. With every photograph comes an opportunity in which the organic moment transforms into the beginnings of a well-crafted tale. Embodied within the title of the exhibition, Barber’s aim for this series is to delve into not just the narratives within each individual photograph but also how these photographic narratives relate and intertwine with one another to create a web of alternative perspectives.

From January 29th to April 5th 2014, Galerie des Galeries opens its doors to belgian talented fashion designer Jean-Paul Lespagnard. A former prize winner of the International Festival of Fashion and Photography in Hyères, he has fashioned the Till We Drop exhibition in his own image : quirky and socially conscious. For his first solo exhibition in Paris, Jean-Paul invites visitors to explore his creative process. Drawing from the identically titled 2014 collection, this exhibition evokes the exuberance of life at Mexico’s giant Mayan Riviera hotels and expresses the artist’s take on this artificial paradise, a world steeped in euphoria, sin and freedom. Dressed as a bee and using a series of installations, Jean-Paul Lespagnardtakes us down a guided tour of the rituals and customs of impulse tourism, freed from all material contingencies. As prolific designer Jean-Paul Lespagnard exhibits his work at Galeries Lafayette, several visuals from his Till We Drop project will be displayed in store windows on the rue de la Chaussée d’Antin as well as the store’s first upper floor. photos by Pascal Gillet

BG BOOM Dusan Reljin — Fashion photographer Dusan Reljin fuses past and present in his latest project, BG BOOM-Dusan Reljin, on display at Milk Gallery. The exhibit harmonizes two sides of Reljin’s life, that of a New York fashion photographer and his upbringing in Serbia, melding them equally into a series of provocative photographs. Each photograph functioning as a collage of its own, the numbered series layers neon images of the wreckage from the 1999 NATO bombing’s in Belgrade with sensual images of some of today’s top models, including Jessica Stam, Daria Werbowy, and Eva Herzigova. The series altogether expresses the dark contrast of Reljin’s life, albeit in a manner that hides the horror of the bombings and screams fashion editorial shoot.

A l’occasion de la sortie de Texas – This is not a map #62, Republic Gallery présente une exposition photographique retraçant le travail de Rémi Noël réalisé dans cet état mythique des Etats Unis… Passionné depuis l’adolescence par l’Amérique de Jack Kerouac, Edward Hopper et Robert Frank, ce photographe a trouvé au Texas le décor idéal pour ses mises en scènes. Grands espaces, décors désertiques et motels authentiques, c’est aussi cette sensation de voyage dans le temps que Rémi Noël semble rechercher. Après quatre séjours sur les routes Texanes, le coffre rempli d’accessoires en tout genre et avec pour seule compagnie une figurine de Batman, il nous offre une série de photographies argentiques en noir et blanc qui oscillent entre humour, poésie et nostalgie. Certains découvriront les clins d’oeil faits aux artistes qu’il admire, d’autres remarqueront l’influence de la publicité de cet ancien créatif et pour toutes les anecdotes qui entourent cette exposition, le jeune galeriste se fera un plaisir de vous les dévoiler…

Claude Lévêque is not a photographer, nor is he an artist who works with photography as Boltanski, Gette, Annette Messager or even Le Gac were in the 1970s. But he is an artist who is constantly making photographs, perhaps even more than photographers themselves. What he records is at once funny and terrible, keen and poetic. Sometimes an observation, sometimes a step aside in reality — as in his others works, which as we know, are made up of tensions between opposite poles, where violence and gentleness, tenderness and terror, mingle and collide. With humor, roars of laughter and a sense of playfulness that delights and, at times, undermines our understanding.This exhibition contains no framed prints. Rather, the images are projected according to different rhythms and in a different formats, accompanied by two neon sculptures in a intimate hanging that maintains associations linked with the images: identification, exploration, observation, research. this is a journey in images from the artist’s universe — that of a major French contemporary artist offering us a glance at his diary, his sketchbook.The title “A dream moment” is, of course, an antiphrasis, a figure of speech in which one expresses an idea by deploying its opposite.

In 1970, Helmut Newton‘s wife June Newton, started as a photographer under the pseudo Alice Springs. Her husband, then in bed with the flu, teached her how to handle his camera and the light-meter… so she achieved by her own an advertising for the cigarette brand Gitanes. The famous portrait that results is the starting point for her successful career. Since 2005, her works are regularly exposed to the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin in the room called June’s Room
