Jean GAUMY
Océaniques
08-11-25 > 08-03-26

The Pêcheries Museum in Fécamp offers an immersion into the work of a major figure in contemporary photography. Held from November 8, 2025, to March 8, 2026, the exhibition Jean Gaumy. Océaniques (with the participation of Michelle Gaumy) pays tribute to a photographer who devoted much of his career to capturing both the everyday lives of seafarers and the maritime and coastal landscapes, in France and internationally.

Shot in Wakkanai, Japan, at the far northern tip of Hokkaidō, this series captures the austere beauty of a wind‑swept, snow‑covered coastline. In this almost deserted landscape, the photographer conveys the subtle variations of light, the silence, the emptiness, and invites the viewer to imagine what the sound of the snow might be.

Diane MEYER
Photography into Sculpture : an homage
and an update
19-10-25 > 22-02-26

The exhibition Photography into Sculpture: an homage and an update brings together 11 international artists. It is both a direct tribute to the historic 1970 exhibition at MoMA and a reflection on the current role of photography as sculpture. Diane Meyer occupies a rightful place in this exhibition through her cross‑stitch embroidery directly applied onto the print, thus questioning the photographic medium and its materiality.

Texts: Jean Gaumy, Jean-Christophe Bailly

In this book, Jean Gaumy offers a fresh perspective on the world-famous garden of painter Claude Monet. Over the course of the seasons, he conducted extensive formal studies of plant life and created black-and-white compositions that hover between the pictorial and the abstract. In this work, Jean Gaumy explores the richness of vegetation, its structures, its flows, and its nearly microscopic details.

Sous terre
2025

Publisher: D’une rive à l’autre

Texts: Annette Becker

Photographs taken between 2022 and 2024 by Antoine Lecharny, in Eastern Europe and the Baltic countries, in cities and regions that, during World War II, were the sites of mass shootings of Jewish populations. A. Becker seeks to bring these victims back to these places through the use of all available sources—written, photographic, filmic, oral, or archaeological.

Publisher: Tonini Editore

Texts: Gaël Charbau

Henri Frachon and Antoine Lecharny have developed a practice focused on the observation and design of objects rather than their use. They outline the contours of an “abstract design” that shifts our attention toward the essence of a form. How does a hole behave? A hole within a hole? And how is it shaped?

Tom WOOD Highfields, Hippies and Strippers
2025

Publisher: SUPER LABO

In 1976, during his final night in Leicester, Tom Wood moved between two worlds that seemed entirely opposed: a Working Men’s Club in Leicester and the Free People festival in Oxfordshire, capturing images with his Rolleicord. These photographs, taken at the very beginning of his career, reveal the same freedom of bodies and gazes, despite radically different contexts. Long confined to the status of archives, these images now reemerge as a singular body of work, revealing the unexpected coherence of a developing vision.
