Programme
Let Life Unfold, Frank Horvat
Borrowed from a line by the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, deeply admired by the artist, the exhibition title resonates as an invitation to inhabit the world as it is. A major figure in twentieth-century photography, Frank Horvat observed reality with rare freedom, allowing fleeting moments, bodies in motion and unexpected framings to emerge. His work continually questions photography’s ability to suspend time, while remaining open to chance and the unforeseen.
Produced in close collaboration with the Frank Horvat Studio, the exhibition brings together 46 original prints, spanning a period from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s. The exhibition path moves across decades and genres: from the nocturnal streets of Pigalle to a revolutionary vision of fashion photography, from iconic black-and-white images of Paris, London and New York to vibrant colour series created in later years.
My part of them - Arnaud Adami, Dhewadi Hadjab and Romain Bagouet
United by bonds of friendship, shared sensibilities and common references, Arnaud Adami, Dhewadi Hadjab and Romain Bagouet nevertheless propose singular approaches to contemporary realism. The exhibition explores the many ways in which a shared human and aesthetic proximity can generate pictorial visions that are distinct yet complementary.
The title Ma part d’eux (“My part of them”) evokes both the intimacy that connects these three Parisian painters and the echoes that resonate between their works. All three share a remarkable technical mastery and a strong interest in photography, directional light and a confident use of colour. The realism they develop is never merely descriptive; it is infused with an emotional intensity that questions identity, the body and the contemporary urban environment.
