"There is too much noise and too many photos that don't mean anything. We need to take a step backward and look conscientiously what surrounds us, being humble. Maybe we will rediscover the true sense of photography"–Enrico Bossan, Curator

Tête-à-Tête, Photograph © Martine Fougeron

"Martine Fougeron's Tête-à-Tête project is a series of intimate portraits of the photographers two adolescent sons and their friends in New York and in France...The work explores adolescence as a liminal state, between childhood and adulthood, between feminine and masculine, and between innocence and a burgeoning self-identity."

Subjective/Objective
Exhibition Curated by Elisabeth Biondi

"Subjective/Objective argues that documentary photography today is remarkably vibrant and creatively thriving, despite the bleak financial picture and vanishing support from a publishing industry challenged by digital media. Biondi has selected photographers who refract reality through their own distinct visions, often venturing into a more personal visual language. Subjective/Objective includes Alejandro Chaskielberg, Stefano De Luigi, Carolyn Drake, Martine Fougeron, Balazs Gardi, Jessica Hines, Ethan Levitas, Irina Werning and A Yin."

La Lettre de la Photographie / Photo Image Inguilere

My tools were words and images and I could use those tools to show injustice –Ruth Gruber, recipient of the Cornell Capa Award

Ruth Gruber photographed as a foreign correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune. In 1944, while the war and holocaust raged, Gruber was sent on a covert mission by President Roosevelt to escort 1,000 refugee’s across the Atlantic to the U.S. When she took the stage to receive her award, now 100 years old, she also took everyone’s heart." – La Lettre de la Photographie
