An extraordinary exhibition featuring a curated selection of visionary photographers whose works redefine the art of photographic storytelling.
A selection of visionary photographers
The exhibition will present Xan Padrón’s Time Lapse series, where snapshots of everyday urban life are assembled into time-based studies, revealing the rhythm and flow of human existence. This captivating body of work captures the essence of movement and the individuality within crowds, presenting the beauty in life’s fleeting moments. In an immersive departure. Also, Ysabel Lemay reconstructs enchanting Wonderlands, blending photography and digital painting to create lush, dreamlike landscapes. Her works invite viewers into surreal, densely layered worlds where nature and imagination intertwine, offering moments of transcendence and escape. And Corinne Mariaud’s provocative piece Woman as Trophy confronts societal expectations and objectification by portraying women as trophies mounted on walls, challenging viewers to consider and question gender norms and the commodification of femininity in contemporary culture. On the other side, Albert Delamour’s celebrated Orotones and Silvertones evoke a historical aura with modern edge through iridescent overlays and handcrafted finishes, imbuing each piece with a timeless, ethereal quality. This series reimagines traditional photo processes with contemporary craftsmanship, turning each image into a radiant, reflective experience. Exploring the theme of spatial memory, Anastasia Savinova’s Breaking Down Authentic Fragments and Details of the Architectural Environment dissects elements of urban landscapes to create compelling composite images, merging architecture and memory into visual meditations on place and identity. In a counterpoint to urban intensity, Zhou Hongbin’s work explores quietude, creating images that cultivate “lovely and pure thoughts” and offer gentle respites from reality. Her art provides serene compositions designed to evoke tranquility and introspection.

Transformative power of architecture by Joel Kuntz
Described by the artist as a “love letter to the transformative power of architecture,” Joel Kuntz’s GloboBots offer an exciting new take on what it is to be a city. Photographs of iconic buildings become the body parts of large-scale retro-futurist figures, urban landscapes cleverly reconstructed as robots.
