Young Gallery, Brussels: Exhibition of Nick Brandt, “A Shadow Falls”

WebInvitYoungGallery NickBrandt1

Rewind, November 10, 8 p.m.: arriving at the Conrad Hotel, surprise surprise, it’s crowded in front of the Young Gallery. My first opening in Brussels, course Nick Brandt is a star. Ok, I make my way through peolpe to get in the gallery: “Excuse me, are you a press officer?“. And I find myself in front of a press photographer’s camera of the opening. I cheese and catch my kind gallery officer: “Well, I’d like to make an interview of Nick Brandt, the photographer“, “Oh! He’s…mmmh around. He’s got a jacket with inscriptions on his back“. Good…”And what does he look like?“, “My height, not really tall“, “Thanks!“. Perplexed. An amused look at the moving crowd: how locating in half light an inscription on jacket’s back? Fantastic pictures (big crush on the elephants ones) and great gallery’s atmosphere: I quickly forget the interview for those snapshots! Enjoy!

Young Gallery, Bruxelles: Exposition de Nick Brandt, “A Shadow Falls”

Rewind, mardi 10/11, 20h j’arrive au Conrad Hotel: surprise, un monde fou devant la Young Gallery. Mon premier vernissage bruxellaire, certes Nick Brandt est une star. Ok, me “fraye” un chemin dans la galerie bondée: “Escusez-moi, vous vous occupez de la presse?“. Et je me retrouve nez à nez avec l’objectif de la photographe du vernissage. Souris, rattrape au vol un membre de la galerie: “Heu non, je souhaiterai interviewer le photographe“, “Oh il doit être quelque part par là, il a une veste avec une inscription au dos“. Humm Mwoui… “Et il ressemble?“, “Ma taille, pas très grand“, “Merci!“. Perplexe. Amusée, j’interroge du regard la foule telle un GPS virtuel en littuanien: comment localiser dans cette masse mouvante une inscription au dos d’une veste? Les photos sont superbes (suis fane des éléphants), la galerie très agréable, j’oublie vite interview et GPS littuanien, pour ces snapshots!

Paris: “Koyasan”, the photo exhibition of Yoshimitsu Nagasaka

Exhibition Yoshimitsu Nagasaka Temple

This week, I’ve discovered the beautiful pictures of Yoshimitsu Nagasaka at his Paris exhibition “Koyasan“, organized in partnership with Exclusif Voyages. Honored for the art prize by the Society of Photographic Science and Technology of Japan (2004), and for the artist prize bythe Photographic Society of Japan (2007),  since 1970 Yoshimitsu Nagasaka has been photographing the Koyasan sacred site. Classified with the world inheritance of UNESCO, Koyasan is a famous shrine, with 120 Buddhist temples. I do really like the peaceful mysterious atmosphere of the pictures. Let’s dream, time stopped… Is it a coincidence if the exhibition took place at Maison des Rêves (: house of dreams) in Paris?
