Review: From Back Home (book and exhibition)
“The land between Klarälven River and the chestnut tree at Ekallén is full of little hard memories of sad and lonely times, but there is also a streak of warm confidence that runs all the way up to Älgsjövallen, a place of fairy tales and inquisitive moose.” Anders Petersen From Back Home is a collaboration [...]

Review: Naoya Hatakeyama @ Rencontres d’Arles
As I mentioned in my last post, one of my highlights of this year’s Rencontres d’Arles is Naoya Hatakeyama’s exhibition at Arles’ cloître Saint-Trophime. The exhibition includes two series: Scales, a recent commission for the Canadian Centre for Architecture, and Maquettes / Light, a series of images taken ten years ago but which Hatakeyama has [...]
Arles 2009: 40 years and Nan Goldin
I have finally managed to sit down and collect my thoughts about this year’s Rencontres d’Arles festival. For Arles’ 40th anniversary, I decided to try and cover the festival in some detail. In this post I will be giving my overall impressions and in the next few days I will follow up with reviews of [...]

Review: Michael Wolf @ Galerie Particulière
Michael Wolf’s recent semi-relocation to Paris has led to an exhibition, Metropolis, at the Marais’ new Galerie Particulière. The show combines work from his Hong Kong series, Architecture of Density, and Transparent City, shot later in Chicago. Wolf’s study of Hong Kong’s trademark high-rise architecture is aptly-named. He refers to these as ‘no-exit’ photographs: by [...]
Review: Araki @ Daniel Templon
Daniel Templon is currently exhibiting a recent series of Araki’s bondage photographs, work which has been doing the rounds for some time now with shows in Tokyo, Berlin, Oslo and London. The Paris show includes 15 large-format (150 x 120cm) colour digital prints of images taken in the past couple of years. For anyone who [...]
Review: Henri Cartier-Bresson @ MAM
HCB would have been 100 in 2008. For some reason his centenary is still being celebrated with two exhibitions which recently opened in Paris at the Maison Européene de la Photographie and today at the Musée d’Art Moderne (MAM). I was reminded of the Robert Frank exhibitions that were recently held in honour of the [...]

Review: Tania Mouraud @ Dominique Fiat
Just went to the Tania Mouraud opening at Dominque Fiat. Mouraud seems to have done some interesting installations in the past, but this show just seems ludicrous to me. A dozen (inevitably, predictably) large prints of ‘landscapes’ created by taking pictures of bales of hay wrapped in plastic. The invitation even has a picture of [...]

Review: William Eggleston Paris @ Fondation Cartier
Three years ago Hervé Chandès, the director of the Fondation Cartier, suggested to William Eggleston over dinner that he shoot a series of photographs of Paris. Eggleston thought, “why not, since I am here?” and now the first group of work from this ongoing commission is being shown at the Fondation Cartier until 21 June. [...]
