| | | DL#014/5, from the series Dominique Lambert, 2003-2009 (Detail) © Stéphanie Solinas | | | | | | | 24 February – 16 April 2017 | | | | Opening: Thursday 23 February 5:30 pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stéphanie Solinas uses her work to explore contemporary ideas about identity that are informed by practical applications within photography.
The exhibition Dominique Lambert / Le Pourquoi Pas? presents two series by the French photographer Stéphanie Solinas. In her work, Solinas attempts to materialise abstract concepts such as identity or the spiritual in a systematic and factual manner. She employs photography as a part of a diverse array of research methods – alongside language, video and installation. The research process is central to her practice; by collaborating with experts from various disciplines Solinas investigates the shared role of the artist, the scientist and the medium as moderators of reality. Her methodical approach stands in stark contrast to the more subjective character of her subject-matter: identity, memory and the invisible world of the mind. For Dominique Lambert (2003-2009), Stéphanie Solinas spent seven years inventorying the identity of every listed Dominique Lambert in France. | | | | |

Love doesn't seek big pathos or emphasis. Love hides in the profane; in the shiny shoes in which one has journeyed or in the perfect fold of a beautiful dress. The really big things often lurk in the smallest of details. "I believe," the American poet Walt Whitman once wrote, "a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars." It is a poetry of dignity and nuance. This is a credo about the interplay of all things and the reverberation of the mighty cosmos in the allegedly banal everyday life. These unique "leaves of grass" are exactly what Johanna Breede has selected for her exhibit Favorite Images: the red painted mouth held dreamily in the summer sun, taken by the French photographer Isa Marcelli. or the deep insight caught by the Stuttgart photographer, Hannes Killian, in 1955 at an afternoon tea dance ceremony. These gestures, ornamentations and signs don't reveal for certain the profound secret of life, but together they show life's preciousness, its small fortunes and its grace present in the simplest of things. | | | | |

THE INGE MORATH TRUCK PROJECT | | | | | | | 25 February – 28 May, 2017 | | | | Opening: Friday, 24 February, 7 pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nine women, eight countries, one river: The Fotografie Forum Frankfurt presents DANUBE REVISITED. THE INGE MORATH TRUCK PROJECT, a photographic road trip through Europe. This exhibition produced by Fundación Telefonica, shows over 100 works from the photographers Olivia Arthur (GB), Lurdes R. Basolí (Spain), Kathryn Cook (USA/Switzerland), Jessica Dimmock (USA), Claudia Guadarrama (MEX), Claire Martin (AUS), Emily Schiffer (USA), Ami Vitale (USA) and Inge Morath (AT/USA). Eight of these are winners of the Inge Morath Award, a prize annually awarded by the Magnum Foundation and the Inge Morath Foundation for promising young female photographers. Additionally, original photographs from Inge Morath (1932–2002) are on loan from Fotohof, Salzburg. In the summer of 2014, the eight young women struck out along the Danube on a photographic journey: they followed the flow of the waterway from its source in the Black Forest to its outlet into the Black Sea. 34 days, 2800 kilometers, 19 cities. En route in a caravan with a Truck converted into a gallery, they documented the people, the nature and life along the river in diverse picture languages; documentary, conceptual, interactive and abstract. | | | | |

C-type print © Jimmy Nelson | | | | | | | 24 February – 8 April 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the past six years, photographer Jimmy Nelson has traversed the globe to photograph indigenous communities for his long-term project Before They. This exhibition will showcase new photographs taken in Bhutan, on show here for the first time, alongside recent images taken in remote locations across China, French Polynesia, Mongolia, Tanzania and Chad. From Siberia to Namibia, China to Peru and South Sudan to Argentina, in all Nelson has traveled to 20 countries to photograph 35 indigenous tribes. The project was inspired by Nelson’s fascination with the harmony between man and nature and his search for the places in the world where this was still prevalent, although often under threat from industrialisation and the theft of land and resources. The resulting photographs depict indigenous people in their traditional dress both against dramatic natural backdrops, or interior portraits shot in the style of Dutch old master paintings. The images are not intended as a factual, ethnographical representation, rather an aesthetic celebration and personal interpretation of the variety and beauty of indigenous culture. In December 2016 Nelson made his most recent journey to Bhutan to photograph the traditional dancers who reside in the Upper Paro Valley in the Himalayas. The dancers are depicted against the majestic backdrop of the mountains surrounded by prayer flags clothed in traditional dress for their mask dance. These large-scale photographs, never-before published, will be exhibited for the first time at Atlas Gallery. | | | | |

After Thor, 2016 | Super Girl, 2016
Archival pigment print
each 68 × 51 in; 172.7 × 129.5 cm
Edition of 6 + 2AP | | | | | | | - 4 March 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Edwynn Houk Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of Valérie Belin’s newest series, All Star. The exhibition of eleven large-scale color photographs will be on view 19 January - 4 March 2017. For this series, Belin utilizes the fantastical world of vintage comic books as the inspiration for multilayered portraits that are both visually and psychologically complex. To create the works, Belin first styles and photographs her models in dramatic lighting reminiscent of film noir. Then, selecting from an extensive collection of vintage comics, she overlays the image with the chosen comic cover before further abstracting the pictorial surface with her own graphic patterns. Bursting in from the background, the worlds of the comics interweave with the texture of the portraits to create a sophisticated composition in which variations of movement, line, depth of field and scale are all combined within one surface. The series continues Belin’s investigations of the ideas of surface, beauty, artifice, and disorder that have become consistent themes in her practice; however, in this new body of work she takes her considerations further to explore the disarray of not only the physical but also a mental world that is chaotic, saturated, and obsessive. | | |

| | | © Stéphane Duroy | | | | | | | – 9 April, 2017 | | | |
| The exhibition is being extended at LEICA, 105-109 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris: – 8 April | | | | | | | | | | | | | What if Stéphane Duroy’s work was an exile? After forty years of obsessive wandering in the footsteps of old Europe as far as the United States, Stéphane Duroy today seems pushed by a wind of renewal, towards a photographic praxis taken ever further from itself.
"L’Europe du silence", a ground-breaking work embarked upon by the photographer in the 1980s, comes across as an attempt to set out to encounter great History. Constructed in a long-term movement, this series records the vision of man in search of his identity and the memory of an Europe shaken by two world wars and many different totalitarian aberrations.
Since 1977, he has also been facing up to another reality, that of the human factor, of people left out, workers and dropouts plunged into the distress of a Thatcherite Britain undergoing profound changes. The book "Distress", which was published late in 2011, is the culmination of an immersion spanning more than 30 years in a profoundly battered country. | | | | |

| | | | | | | Ellen von Unwerth’s puckish humor pervades the pages of Heimat, an enchanted tour around Bavaria. The renowned fashion and music photographer revisits her childhood homeland to shoot a posse of gorgeous girls out for fun and adventure amid the region’s undulating fields; age-old traditions; and deep, mysterious forests. As they happily discard their dirndls and run riot across the countryside, von Unwerth’s heroines demonstrate the attributes and attractions of the region, whether munching on pretzels, striding out across pristine pastures, or seducing lederhosen-clad farmhands (and each other). Blending old-world charm with a rebellious edge and a sly subversion of traditional gender roles, Heimat bursts with fresh, provocative eroticism, tied up with wit, laced with an abiding love for a proud and beautiful region.
