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").

Based in Kabul from 2013 to 2021, Andrew Quilty documented the news related to the conflict as much as the daily lives of Afghan civilians.

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.
