AT THE GALLERY



Diane MEYER

Berlin

June 5 to July 26 2025

 

Opening reception in the presence of the artist on June 4 from 6 PM to 9 PM.

“My work has long been defined by explorations of the physical, social, and psychological qualities that characterize a place. These investigations have taken many forms throughout my career. Just as different places possess distinctive attributes, my practice frequently shifts in genre and medium according to the conceptual framework in which I am working.”

              Most recently, I completed a series of forty-three hand-sewn photographs made along the former, roughly one-hundred-mile path of the Berlin Wall. Sections of the photographs are obscured by cross-stitch embroidery executed directly on the prints. These stitches mimic pixels and borrow the visual language of digital imagery through an analogue, tactile process. In many of the images, the embroidered areas replicate the exact scale and location of the former Wall, offering a pixelated view of whatever lies behind it. The embroidery thus appears as a translucent trace in the landscape—of something that no longer exists yet still weighs on history and memory. By using embroidery in a way that evokes pixels, I create a link between erasure and file corruption.

Aurore BAGARRY
De la côte
2025

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.

Jean-Michel ANDRÉ
Chambre 207
Prix Nadar 2024

Publisher : Actes Sud

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.
