PARIS PHOTO 2015

The 19th edition of Paris Photo, over 147 leading galleries from 34 countries will be featured this year at the Grand Palais, presenting both historical and contemporary works. Joining them are 27 publishers and specialized art book dealers providing a complete panorama of the photographic medium.

For the first time this year, a selection of galleries will present series and large formats in a new PRISMES sector in the Salon d’Honneur.

Accentuating the cultural and social dynamic of the fair, the Paris Photo Platform will reunite key figures in the art world for a 4-day cycle of talks and discussions elaborating upon three axes: the collection, photography after the crisis, and photography and its relation to the book.

 DUO SHOW - BRUNO SERRALONGUE, TORBJØRN RØDLAND

For its first participation in Paris Photo, Air de Paris will present the works of two artists, Bruno Serralongue and Torbjørn Rødland. The works of Bruno Serralongue explore the role of the photographer and its position vis-à-vis the subject. Often political, his photographs are involved in all aspects of the production of the image. Thus, his work is as much an investigation into the political moment as an investigation of the representation itself. Works will also be presented from the series on migrants in Calais, ongoing since 2006. In the photographs of Torbjørn Rødland, reality is constantly questioned,renegotiated. At first sight mundane, situations put in place by Rødland appear strange, often deliciously acidic and offset. They explore a wide range of emotional possibilities. A form of psychological realism? Recent works are selected by the artist for this exhibition.
