Photography, like all art forms, is a quest for something. For oneself? For truth? For provocation? Twenty-five years ago, the liberated post-'68 generation could enjoy many pleasures without too much fear of unemployment, not yet of AIDS, and less than today of ideological and religious extremism. In the '80s, the imminent fall of the Berlin Wall and a Europe on the move would abolish some of the borders and archaic miseries that had been set up between peoples... We lived in the hope of a better world. A freer world. My thirst for freedom, combined with a search for identity, led me to have my friends and acquaintances pose for me in the simplest of poses, detached from any aesthetic considerations. "Little Black Book" (published by DTV), a collection of nude portraits of famous and unknown people, proclaimed the truth of the gaze, without complexes or complacency. At a time when European agreement is struggling to survive, other threats, climatic or conflictual, are darkening the horizon. Added to this is the return of the narrow morality of our elders. My ever-vital quest for truth leads me to risk shock by showing this personal, unbridled but assumed work, the uncompromising work of my early years as a photographer.

Explore the intricate relationship between nature, insects, and humanity's impact on the planet. Through stunning imagery, this collection delves into the potential consequences of environmental degradation, particularly focusing on the plight of bees and other insects. Mathilde Oscar presents a thought-provoking narrative, juxtaposing themes of beauty and repugnance in a rococo-tinged post-apocalyptic setting. Viewers are challenged to confront their fears and reconsider their perceptions of insects, as the photographs blur the line between reality and fiction. "Dystopia" offers a captivating exploration of the fragility of nature and the complexities of coexistence in a rapidly changing world.

The art collection "Into The Box" emerges as a poignant reflection on our ability to find creativity and inspiration even in the most constrained moments. As the artistic world navigates through a period marked by uncertainty, this collection illustrates the perseverance and ingenuity of artists who transform isolation into a profound source of inspiration. Conceived by the visual artist Idan Wizen during the second lockdown in France, "Into The Box" was born from a context where access to the outside world and the public was restricted. Deprived of the presence of his usual photographic subjects, Wizen then turned to himself and his collaborators as models, exploring the intimate and universal dimensions of the human experience in times of crisis. The box, the central element of this collection, symbolizes the confined space in which we were all forced to find ourselves. Through this metaphor, the works explore a range of intensely felt emotions during confinement - from frustration and anger to contemplation and apathy. Each piece captures the essence of forced introspection, revealing the complex and often contradictory emotions that coexist within us. "Into The Box" also poses a provocative question: is our feeling of confinement solely due to the Covid-19 pandemic, or is it amplified by the barriers we erect ourselves? By exploring this idea, the collection invites reflection on how our personal "comfort bubbles" can sometimes turn into prisons, limiting our emotional experience and our relationship with the outside world. Through "Into The Box," Idan Wizen does not merely document a historically challenging period; he offers a mirror in which we can all look at ourselves, question our own resilience, and our ability to find light, even in the deepest darkness. This collection is an invitation to embrace all our emotions and to recognize the beauty and strength that emerge from vulnerability.
