Galerie VU, 58 rue Saint Lazare, Paris
« En rééditant toutes mes photos, un autre voyage a émergé, davantage un état des lieux : l’urgence, aujourd’hui, surtout dans le Grand Nord, porte sur la fonte des glaces et le réchauffement climatique, dont on parlait peu en 1992. On voit pourtant clairement sur les images que le processus avait déjà commencé. Il me semble important de le montrer. »

Exposition collective – Éblouissements
Galerie VU, 58 rue Saint Lazare, Paris
This exhibition is about light. It is of course the very material of photography, but it is also what composes it or devours it, what shapes the subject or erases it.
The works of our authors, whether in black and white or in colour, silver or digital, produced by electronograms (without light), in the camera or with a scanner, are all apprehensions and experiences of light.

A trip filled with surprising encounters, endearing figures and marked by what Claudine Doury feels when Love flows into the sea: "The end of Love is of infinite sadness. Its silty waters mingle with those of the Sea of Okhotsk, opposite the island of Sakhalin, the prison of the tsars. The sky seems bigger there than elsewhere, stretching its whiteness to the Pacific.”

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").

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.

Françoise Huguier – Discretion
Visa pour l’image, 66000 Perpignan, France
For more than forty years, photographer Françoise Huguier has been working on this discreet retreat that is not a retreat. Difficult to grasp, not easy to define. It is enough to have observed her at work. What we discover then, is that we hardly ever see her taking pictures. She is an invisible woman, a great reporter who makes herself very small when she hides, more than when she plants herself, in the backstage of a fashion show, in the limbo of ghostly Africa, in the bunkers of Siberia, in the closets of the last communal apartments of Saint Petersburg or in the backrooms of Korean society.
