CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

Nolwenn Brod – Les hautes solitudes Musée de Bretagne - Les Champs Libres, 10 cours des Alliés – 35000 Rennes
On the occasion of a creative residency offered by the Museum of Brittany at the Champs Libres, Nolwenn Brod chose to take this meticulous look at her native city, Brest. She delivers here a multiple and delicate portrait, from the military institution to the intimacy of the rooms, scrutinizing in the walls as well as on the faces the hidden stories of the city and the different forms of relationship to the living.
26 November 2022 - 30 April 2023
Cyril Zannettacci – Parler à ceux que l’on n’écoute jamais ! Le Château d'Eau, Toulouse (FRANCE)
It is in the heart of a care unit for the homeless that photographer Cyril Zannettacci witnesses the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic in 2021. Located in Nanterre, at the gates of Paris, the Centre d'Hébergement et d'Assistance aux Personnes Sans-Abri (CHAPSA), a centre that is unique in France, welcomes and accompanies homeless people in a process of care.
23 November 2022 - 31 December 2022
Vanessa Winship – She dances on Jackson Galerie Le Carré d'Art - Centre Culturel Pôle Sud, 1 rue de la Conterie - 35131 Chartres de Bretagne
For more than a year, Vanessa Winship travelled the United States, from California to Virginia, from New Mexico to Montana, in search of the American dream. She dances on Jackson reads like a conversation, a poetic and rhythmic interplay between landscapes and portraits that explore the vastness of the United States, aiming to understand the bond that is created between a territory and its inhabitants.
18 November 2022 - 11 January 2023
Guillaume Herbaut & Stéphane Duroy — De l’Ukraine : ceci est la guerre Galerie VU, 58 rue Saint Lazare, Paris
Both are not war photographers, and both are free from the spectacular. Here, photography and painting meet, confront and respond to each other, in their capacity or impotence to declare this is war. Here, photography becomes the medium of duration and painting the medium of immediacy (as Eugène Delacroix wrote, "A painter must know how to catch a worker falling from a scaffold in the time it takes to fall").
18 November 2022 - 23 December 2022
Marin Driguez – Une exposition photographique sur l’Institut Jules Bordet Espace Vanderborght, Rue de l'Ecuyer 50, 1000 Bruxelles
The Jules Bordet Institute is a renowned cancer centre in Belgium that has been treating cancer patients since 1939. For three months, Marin Driguez went there and documented the daily life of the caregivers and patients, who are faced with solitude, waiting, suffering and the end of life.
9 November 2022 - 27 November 2022
Bernard Descamps – Au-delà des apparences Château de Tours, 25 Avenue André Malraux, 37 000 TOURS
Rather than freezing the imagination in a blissful admiration of the sublime and the otherworldly, Bernard Descamps opens back doors and harmoniously brings together cultures that are far removed from each other, allowing him to express his emotions.
28 October 2022 - 13 April 2023
Claudine Doury – Photo Phnom Penh Ambassade de France - Cambodge, Cambodge
Claudine Doury travelled to Far East Siberia for the first time in 1991, and again in 1997, to document the lives of the peoples who settled along the banks of the Amur River. Twenty years later, she returned to the region in search of the Nanai, Ultche and Nivkh families she had met on her previous trips.

Samuel Bollendorff — Frontaliers, des vies en stéréo Massenoire, Esch-sur-Alzette, 8 Av. des Hauts-Fourneaux, 4361 Esch-sur-Alzette
Frontaliers, des vies en stéréo is the result of an investigation initiated in early 2020 by Mehdi Ahoudig and Samuel Bollendorff.
22 October 2022 - 5 February 2023

14 October 2022 - 31 December 2022
Ferhat Bouda, Andrew Quilty, Cyril Zannettacci and Catalina Martin-Chico – Poussières : Le dérèglement climatique Galerie Dityvon, BU Belle-Beille, 11 allée François Mitterand – 4900 ANGERS
Whether in Chad for Ferhat Bouda, in Panama for Catalina Martin-Chico, in Afghanistan for Andrew Quilty or in Kenya for Cyril Zannettacci, the photographers focus their author’s eye on the profound connection between people and their environment. Their photographs reveal, beyond the figures and studies, the human reality on the ground: individuals, families, social groups whose daily life and food security are durably but silently disrupted by climate change.
6 October 2022 - 4 December 2022
Margot Wallard, Magali Lambert et Pia Elizondo – Animalités Carré Amelot - La Rochelle, 17000 La Rochelle
Le Carré Amelot in La Rochelle in partnership with the Galerie VU' welcomes a group exhibition of Magali Lambert, Margot Wallard and Pia Elizondo. They deliver photographs where the animal is as much a subject as an object of questioning on our own condition and thus give to see three photographic approaches of the animality, far from the documentary or zoological visions.
