AT THE GALLERY
Yan MORVAN
Tribute Exhibition
Resistances
Extension until Saturday, October 4.
Opening reception Thursday, September 25, from 6 PM to 9 PM, in the presence of Balthazar, Colin & François Morvan, and Quentin Euverte, publisher of the Yan Morvan Archives.
One year after the tragic passing of Yan Morvan, Galerie Sit Down is partnering with the Yan Morvan Archives to host a tribute exhibition celebrating the power of his gaze and the richness of his archives.
Centered around the publications of the Yan Morvan Archives—a unique editorial project that already includes more than twenty volumes—the exhibition offers a preview selection of images from Freedom, Northern Ireland (1981): a special issue dedicated to the funeral of Bobby Sands, featuring rare color photographs taken before and after the events. This body of work provides context to one of the most significant human and political episodes of the past fifty years.
At the same time, several Cibachrome prints from the famous La Ligne verte series—the next volume in the collection—will be on display. Shot with a large-format camera in 1985 along the demarcation line that divided Beirut in two, these works capture the tension of a city split by conflict.
Through the display of images, a complete presentation of the publications, and an immersion into a body of work that documents the fault lines of the contemporary world, this commemoration aims to perpetuate Yan Morvan’s radical and truthful vision while highlighting the significance of a collection that has become indispensable.

Publisher : GwinZegal
Texts by : Philippe Boulvais, Vava Dudu, and Jérome Sother
For the past fifteen years, Aurore Bagarry has been photographing the sculptural formations of glaciers in the Alps, the rocky shores of the English Channel, and more recently, the Atlantic coasts—ranging from the Gironde and Brittany to Martinique and Guadeloupe.
Aurore Bagarry’s landscape photographs go beyond geological documentation; they open a dialogue between the interior and the exterior, pointing toward an immensity whose forces exceed us.
Publisher : Atelier EXB
Texts by : Jean Gaumy, Jean-Christophe Bailly
In this book, Jean Gaumy offers a unique perspective on the world-renowned garden of painter Claude Monet. Over the course of the seasons, he conducted extensive formal research on plant life, creating black-and-white compositions that lie at the crossroads of painting and abstraction. Through this work, Gaumy explores the richness of vegetation, its structures, its flows, and its almost microscopic details.

Afterword : Clément Chéroux
In this visual essay rooted in autofiction, Jean-Michel André travels in search of vanished memories. Blending elements of investigation, archives, and family heirlooms with his own photographs, he composes a collection that questions memory, mourning, and healing.
The author reveals a poignant story—one that is open to all.
