Clara Diebler

The superimposition of negatives to lead us towards the positive.

Clara Diebler

Born in Paris to a German family, Clara Diebler delved into the magical world of film photography from a young age. Her curious and explorative spirit led her to overlay two negatives, revealing a rich and enigmatic parallel universe. Since this discovery, Clara has been weaving her own visual world, taking us on a journey where every element seems interconnected by invisible threads of poetry and mystery.

With a unique sensitivity, Clara Diebler skillfully blends nudes, portraits, architectural structures, and floral patterns, creating a striking visual alchemy. Each photograph becomes a fusion of two visions: that of the model and that of the photographer, of those who see and those who feel. Through her lens, she captures and elevates this intrinsic duality, this romantic and universal femininity that lies within each of us.

Her work is a delicate dance between feminine essence and universality, while maintaining a distinct singularity marked by an original vision. Anachronistic and melancholic, raw and splendid, Clara Diebler’s aesthetic is an invitation to view the world in a new light, to discover the hidden beauty in the duality of human existence.

Each of Clara’s photographs is a window into a waking dream, where the past and present intertwine, where softness meets brutality, and where melancholy transforms into magnificence. Through her gaze, she offers us an intimate and universal perspective, reminding us that beauty lies in the contrasts and secret harmonies of the world.

Wake up and bloom by Clara Diebler

Muses

Clara Diebler
"Muse," a term I long to reinvent, distilling it to its purest essence: raw, unfiltered inspiration. Softness, often mistaken for fragility, is actually a formidable strength. My muses are women of remarkable resilience, each one unique, bold, and delightfully irreverent. They defy conventions and stand firmly against societal expectations with unwavering determination. Like the wild nature that nurtures their spirit, these women embody an indomitable freedom, an untamed independence that refuses to be controlled. They are as tenacious as the wind, as impetuous as the waves, and as nurturing as the earth itself. In their presence, one can perceive the profound connection between the human spirit and the untamed beauty of the natural world. These muses, with their unyielding courage and embraced individuality, symbolize the blossoming of a society that is finally beginning to recognize and celebrate their true essence. Their audacity, inner strength, and gentle power are testament to a world gradually awakening to the true value of diversity and feminine energy. Through my lens, I strive to capture this delicate dance between strength and softness, to exalt the indomitable spirit of these exceptional women. In each image, I endeavor to reveal the subtle harmony between their inner world and the wild landscapes that surround them. My aim is to honor the profound and mysterious beauty that emerges when we fully embrace our authentic nature. My photographs seek to immortalize this fusion between the human and the natural, highlighting the splendor that resides in the contrasts and hidden harmonies of life. Each portrait is a window into a waking dream, where past and present intertwine, where softness meets brutality, and where melancholy transforms into magnificence. Through my gaze, I invite you to discover this hidden beauty in the interstices of human duality.

Self Oblivion

Clara Diebler
Self Oblivion speaks of inner visions, of observation that are not biased by the gaze of others. This project invites us to forget ourselves and see how the world is. A world where everything is connected. It is also a meditation, a few moments stolen from time and space where clouds pass through our entire soul. Self Oblivion is the world piercing us. The world that calls to us and cries out, "We are one!" The melancholy associated with it is only the memory of what we have loved. The black and white film and the double exposure allow a dreamlike entry through the softness of the emulsion and the nostalgic side that emerges from it.

IDAN WIZEN'S COLLECTIONS

Into The Box

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.

The World We Left Them

Idan Wizen wanted to represent an intergenerational dialogue between the audience of today and the representation of the children of the future. Far from a pessimistic vision of the future, it expresses the urgent need to sound the alarm for the sake of our planet and the children to come. Through this photographic series, he urges the viewer to understand that his actions and inactions have consequences in a future going well beyond his existence and that he has a responsibility to choose beyond his immediate interest. The underlying question of this work is of course the irreversibility of our choices and our actions: will one day be too late to reverse the course of things and can we eternally put the problems to tomorrow?

Hinders

In today's society, we often find ourselves chained by different problems such as social networks, over-consumption, work, unhealthy relationships. Emancipation and self-fulfillment are therefore key elements needed in the pursuit of happiness. To achieve this, however, we must face many obstacles, challenges, and hinders. The objective of the new ongoing Hinders collection is to show how much humanity is blinded by everyday issues not realizing those chains around.

Nude in the living-room

“Who’s That Nude in the Living Room?” is a unique artistic project which aims to constitute the largest photographic series ever made representing humanity as it is, in its most natural state, its nudity and its diversity. Developed by photographer Idan Wizen, this concept of photographic art aims to bring together thousands of models, volunteers of all ages and from all social categories to constitute a huge gallery of portraits of men and women of today who have agreed to show themselves as they are, nude. These photographs, in their multitude and the originality of each one of them, their dynamism and their naturalness, show to universal human beauty, far beyond the restrictive socio-cultural and aesthetic criteria of our time. Anyone who poses in his simplest device participates by his own personality, his differences and his particularities in the universality of humankind. Idan Wizen has chosen to exacerbate the true authenticity of each of his models, breaking their possible masks, exposing through each of them, the simple and nude beauty of human nature. He also defies the usual criteria of nude photography with his shocking photos, with a strong artistic bias, where the spontaneous provocation of one model can interact with the cheerful and naive expression of another or the modest revelation of a third. Through the uniformity of the beauty criteria of our society as well as its modes of expression, “Who’s That Nude in the Living Room?” opposes the multitude, the variety, the strength of character, the movement, the surprising and the natural to the state gross of mankind. Each photo is unique just like its model and never touched up. This inevitably challenges us and creates in us a curious feeling of closeness, of belonging. Because these models are all of us. Moved or upset by the freshness of a smile, the roundness of a curve, a playful look, a cry of defiance or the fragility of a silhouette, we would like to keep one of these photos with us, the image of a being among the multitude of the human race, a nude in the living room!
virtual street art

Virtual Street Art

Idan Wizen's "Virtual Street Art" collection boldly merges urban architecture with raw humanity. In this innovative series, Wizen superimposes nude bodies from his Purity collection of the "Un Anonyme Nu Dans Le Salon" project onto architectural shots of cities, integrating these human forms onto building facades as if they were street art murals. These digital artworks, which blend the rigidity of urban structures with the vulnerability of the flesh, invite a critical reflection on the visibility of nudity in public spaces. They highlight a stark contrast with the trivialization of violence and weapons, shedding light on how society prioritizes and reacts to different forms of representation. "Virtual Street Art" is not just a tribute to the beauty of the human body; it is also a provocative commentary on the social and cultural norms that govern our perception of what is acceptable and what is not. By placing nudity at the heart of streets, Wizen challenges taboos and sparks a necessary dialogue on freedom of expression and the boundaries of censorship in art and public life. Explore this collection, where each image is an invitation to question the codes of our society and to reassess our comfort with nudity, so vividly contrasted against the everyday symbols of conflict and confrontation.

When painting becomes photograph

Mathilde Oscar

Mathilde Oscar was born in Paris in 1980, and lives and works in Cannes.

She is a multifaceted artist whose artistic evolution is as fascinating as it is diverse. Her artistic journey is an odyssey that fuses a passion for painting, in-depth study of art history, graphic design and photography, ultimately giving birth to a singular visual language.

In the beginning, Mathilde Oscar explored the intricacies of painting, a medium that captured her heart and mind. This period was an enriching exploration of creativity, shaping her artistic perception. Art history became her ally, offering her a deep understanding of the classic masters of past centuries.

Over the years, Mathilde broadened her creative horizon to immerse herself in the world of graphic design. This immersion was a transformative period in which she honed her mastery of shapes, colors and visual compositions. However, it was only the prelude to a more significant metamorphosis.

In 2013, self-taught, she chose photography as a means of expression, offering a new canvas for her pictorial ideas, deeply rooted in artistic movements from the
Renaissance to Neo-Classicism.

In her photographs, Mathilde Oscar succeeds in capturing a striking atmosphere, giving her works an almost quasi-pictorial quality to her work. Her creative process frequently involves the meticulous fabrication of sets, costumes and props, although some of her inspirations can consist of digital elements that harmonize with her photographic composition.

What really sets Mathilde apart is her talent for interweaving the codes of classical painting with contemporary photography and pop culture. Her portraits are often anachronistic and offbeat conventions that seem suspended in an elusive space-time, while at the same time abounding in subtle references to art history.

Her artistic universe is one of great variety: sometimes romantic, sometimes imbued with surrealismmarked by a subtle dash of humor. The characters she captures become timeless icons, while her female portraits take on a Madonna-like aura, and her male figures (which she takes pleasure in reinventing as feminine) seem to revisit Christ-like archetypes.

In short, Mathilde Oscar is an artist who transcends artistic boundaries, fusing past and present painting and photography, to create a captivating visual world.

LE BAISER DE L'AMOUR | LES AMOURS DES DIEUX par Mathilde Oscar

Les amours des dieux

The captivating theme of the love of the gods has inspired timeless works of art. The legendary union between Eros and Psyche has been immortalized in sculptures and frescoes, symbolizing the unique alliance between divine and human love. In Greek mythology, the amorous escapades of Jupiter with the beautiful Io, and the sad story of Artemis and Orion, hunting together before their tragic fate, were recurring subjects for artists. Hades' abduction of Persephone, leading to his subterranean reign, was also depicted in powerful works. These artistic representations span the ages, capturing the eternal complexity of divine love and immortalizing mythological tales of passion, betrayal and destiny. Mathilde Oscar reinterprets these age-old themes in a series of mixed-media self-portraits.

Dina Goldstein

Dina Goldstein photographer
Dina Goldstein photographer

Dina Goldstein’s artistic journey spans over three decades, beginning as a photojournalist and eventually evolving into an independent artist with a focus on elaborate narrative photography. Her work is a testament to her intricate social commentary, blending cultural archetypes and collective imagery with narratives rooted in the human experience. Drawing from surrealism, Dina constructs compositions that lay bare the underbelly of contemporary life, challenging prevailing cultural influences and deep-seated belief systems.

In 2007, Dina Goldstein embarked on a specific journey, fueled by personal experiences and a critical view of the “happily ever after” narrative perpetuated by Disney and embraced by Western society. As a feminist and new mother, she took issue with the stereotypical portrayals of women and girls in Disney’s stories. Her series “Fallen Princesses” (2007-2009) features humanized fairy tale princesses confronting modern-day challenges like cancer, addiction, obesity, war, and environmental degradation. This poignant work earned her the Prix Virginia in 2014, an international prize for women photographers, and led to exhibitions in Paris, Quebec and in the United States.

Dina’s subsequent project, “In The Dollhouse” (2012), unfolds within an intricately conceptualized, life-sized dollhouse inhabited by human Barbie and Ken dolls. In this alternative reality, Barbie undergoes a transformation by cutting her iconic blond locks, while Ken embarks on a journey of self-discovery. The series sparks discussions about unattainable beauty ideals, the myth of perfection, and the relationship between beauty, power, and happiness. “In The Dollhouse” has been widely exhibited, including a feature in the Musee D’Orsay’s Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera catalog and inclusion in the FotoMuseo collection in Colombia.

Her ambitious project “Gods Of Suburbia” (2014) delves into the world of established and fringe religions. Deities from various traditions are portrayed as mortal, adapting to the challenges of modern life. By offering an iconoclastic interpretation of how ancient belief systems intersect with modernity’s pillars—technology, science, and secularism—Dina’s surreal creations prompt viewers to contemplate the relevance of ancient ethics and enduring belief systems. The series has been exhibited internationally, with “The Last Supper” finding particular resonance in Italy.

Manon Deck-Sablon

When architecture meets the body.

Manon Deck-Sablon

Experimental artist blending two passions that place the viewer in almost liminal spaces.

The young French photographer Manon Deck-Sablon was born in 1995 in Saint-Cloud and grew up in the south of France. She began her studies at the Montpellier School of Architecture, before completing them at the Versailles Landscape School in 2020.

Through her photographs, she explores the sensibility acquired in her training as a landscape architect and architect to stage encounters between bodies and their environment. Naked, anonymous, faceless, desexualized, non-gendered bodies, with flesh as their material, are deployed in space, creating absurd, poetic situations. Here, the models lose their identity, whether female, male or non-binary, and become nothing more than abstract, disarticulated forms interacting with each other or with the solids and voids of their environment.

Although she has only recently begun her photographic career, Manon Deck-Sablon’s work has already attracted attention, and she has shown some of her work in group photographic exhibitions in Milan and Paris, solo exhibitions at architecture festivals, and in publications in art magazines such as Acumen, and architecture and society magazines such as Polygone and Figures.

She is often compared, both in approach and style, to the American artist Spencer Tunick, but playing instead with the geometric composition of a smaller number of models.

Les boules sablé.e.s n°1 by Manon Deck Sablon

Figures

The "Figures" collection, envisioned by the talented French photographer Manon Deck-Sablon, stands as a remarkable artistic quest to blur the lines between the human body and the environmental setting it occupies. By intentionally choosing naked, anonymized subjects free from any sexual or identity attributions, Deck-Sablon turns these bodies into foundational elements of a larger canvas, skillfully playing with the dynamics of presence and absence, of occupied space and void. These models, through their mere presence in the work, transcend their personal individuality to meld into geometric compositions where the dialogue between the physical and the spatial achieves a profound and captivating visual resonance. Beyond merely celebrating nudity in its most stripped-down form, "Figures" engages the viewer in a deep introspection on the intrinsic relationship between the self and the space it inhabits. Through her lens, Manon Deck-Sablon prompts us to rethink our understanding of the environment, whether natural or constructed, orchestrating a visual symphony where the strange meets the familiar, where harmony springs from the unexpected. This series is not just an exploration of the human form but also a meditation on our integration and interaction with the world around us. "Figures" invites us to a reevaluation of our perception of space and landscape, offering a harmonious fusion between the abstract and the tangible, between chaos and order, thus awakening a new awareness of the inherent beauty in our symbiotic relationship with nature.

The Shape of Things

"The Shape of Things" collection by French photographer Manon Deck-Sablon is a bold exploration of the relationship between the human body and its surroundings. Leveraging the skills and sensitivity gained from her education in architecture and landscape, Deck-Sablon crafts scenes where nude, anonymous bodies devoid of any specific sexualization or gender interact with their environment in absurd and poetic ways. In this series, the models transcend their personal identity to become abstract and disjointed forms. They blend into architectural or natural landscapes, altering the conventional perception of these spaces. The human presence, thus staged, prompts a reflection on our relationship with an environment sometimes perceived as hostile or alien. Paradoxically, these nude bodies and unusual spatial interactions enable a reclamation of urban and natural space, offering new perspectives and breathing life and meaning back into the environment. "The Shape of Things" invites viewers to ponder on humanity's place within its milieu and how our presence alters and is altered by the spaces we inhabit. Through her works, Manon Deck-Sablon challenges the boundaries between artifice and nature, the constructed and the innate, unveiling underlying beauty in the simplicity of forms and interactions. Already acknowledged for her innovative approach, Manon Deck-Sablon has showcased her work in collective and individual exhibitions, as well as various art and architecture publications. Compared to artist Spencer Tunick for her management of bodies in space, Deck-Sablon distinguishes herself through a preference for geometric compositions involving a limited number of models, thus enhancing the impact of each body on the surrounding space. "The Shape of Things" celebrates the interplay between the human body and the world around it, revealing the power of bodily expression in redefining our relationship with the environment. It is an invitation to contemplate and rethink the dynamics between humans and space, between abstraction and materiality, between chaos and order.

Self portraits like you've never seen them before.

Louis Blanc

Simplistic yet daring artist, inspired by the human form.

French photographer Louis Blanc was born in 1956 and has been living in Toulouse for over a decade. Blanc was never formally educated in photography and mastered his technique entirely himself. He would post his work in photography forums and enter contests. From the 1980’s to the 2000’s he experimented with different cameras including a Minolta and a digital compact. After spending some time perfecting his craft, and gaining vast experience, he decided to upgrade with an SLR in 2010. With his new equipment, he was able to hone in on his primary interests and birthed his project CORpuS in 2011. 

The idea for this series came to him after winning a competition on a forum. CORpuS was an enlightening experience for Blanc, as he came to realize the image of the body was something that evoked a lot of emotion and deep thought. As we can see, the images from CORpuS, bear a neutral background, because the contorted body is more than enough to summon conviction. 

Blanc’s artistic process begins with an unrefined idea, a bit like a brainstorm, but the end result is the culmination of many shots and redirections, making it intentional and unplanned at the same time. In addition, Blanc doesn’t avoid placing the body in disturbing poses. Actually, most of the images in CORpuS, push the boundaries of the human body. The images were made of himself, using a self-timer and remote control. 

Louis Blanc has been emerging in the photography world for the past decade, and his work doesn’t come without praise. In 2014, he joined the community of artists supported by Maecene Arts. The CORpuS series became well-known all over France, being published in numerous magazines including La Provence and Réponses Photo. Over the years, this series has been a part of 40+ exhibitions internationally, including France, Russia, New York, Japan, Italy and Prague. He was also published in Monaco’s Monaco Culture and Switzerland’s Geneva Tribune. It goes without saying that the world should keep an eye out for what Louis Blanc will do next.

Brooke Shaden

Brooke Shaden

Visually striking and narrative compositions that immerse ourselves in a world of fantasy and emotion.

Brooke Shaden

Poetic and dreamlike artist exploring human nature, loneliness and transformation.

American artist and photographer Brooke Shaden spent years delving into the duality of human nature in her work. Born in 1987, Shaden has become one of the most well-known photographers in modern art. She’s recognized by her conceptual images where she puts herself in settings that feel like an imaginary world. After finishing college in 2008, and deciding to explore her passion of storytelling, she began to probe her inner darkness and confront the fears of her intense childhood imagination.

Mainly a self-portrait artist, Brooke doesn’t shy away from photographing others as well. Many of her photographs evoke a sense of epiphany in an unfamiliar place. It’s easy to feel connected to her images as they embody personal exploration and encapsulate themes of darkness and light. She aims to show others a quintessential part of themselves that might’ve been lurking in the shadows prior. With this, she considers herself leaning more toward discovery than creation.

Shaden studied film all throughout college in Pennsylvania near to where she grew up. She was merely 25 years old when she became a part of PhotoVogue Italia’s group exhibition “101 Best Photos” in 2012. Over the years, she has amassed 18 conceptual awards for her work and has been a part of 80+ group and solo exhibitions all over America and Europe, with her very first exhibition in 2009.

As previously noted, Brooke’s unyielding passion is storytelling, and she continues to produce portraits in addition to writing and giving motivational speeches. She also allows us to look deeper into her process both mentally and physically, in her blog named “Promoting Passion”. She seeks to lead a multitude of lives with her curiosity serving as a perpetual fire of inspiration.

“He does not reproduce reality; he does not capture reality; he thinks it and he sees it.”

Pacôme Thiellement, essayist

Arnaud Baumann, French portrait photographer and videographer, was born in 1953 and left an indelible mark on the world of photography. His career began alongside photographer Xavier Lambours, with whom he had the opportunity to capture unique and intimate moments by photographing the behind the scenes, hysterics and editorial conferences of Hara Kiri and Charlie Hebdo magazines. This experience marked the start of a promising career.

Over the years, Baumann has been published in renowned magazines such as Hara Kiri, Libération, Le Nouvel Observateur, Télérama, VSD, Paris Match and Géo, thus demonstrating his talent and versatility as a photographer.

During one of the key periods of his career, from 1978 to 1983, Baumann immortalized the evenings at Fabrice Emaer’s “Palace”. Through his photographs, he captures the very essence of these extravagant evenings, immersing us in the electric and liberated atmosphere of a bygone era.

Baumann devotes a large part of his career to portraiture, becoming a master in the art of revealing the essence of well-known personalities and cultural actors. His portraits are imbued with depth and sensitivity, to the point of capturing the soul of his subjects.

Throughout his career, Baumann reinvented his style while remaining faithful to what makes him a generational photographer.

His photographs are recognizable by their precise framing, precise colors and always mastered compositions.

ARNAUD BAUMANN'S COLLECTION

CHARLELIE eau secours baumann

Eau Secours

Water, cradle of life and the original mirror of humanity, reveals its poetry in Arnaud Baumann's "Eau Secours" collection. Each droplet that glides over the skin tells a unique story, captured with sensitivity by the renowned photographer. In this artistic exploration, Baumann invites us to introspect our connection with water and nature. These analog prints highlight detail, expression, and emotion. Under the shower, a moment of vulnerability and sincerity, faces reveal themselves, personalities emerge, and stories are whispered silently. This intimate contact with water evokes a range of reactions, from surprise to meditation, ecstasy to melancholy. More than simple photographs, these images are artworks, signed and numbered by the artist. With his documentarian's eye and humanist heart, Arnaud Baumann captures fleeting moments of truth. His models, whether artists, writers, scientists, or unknown individuals, share a part of their intimacy, offering a kaleidoscope of society in search of existential answers. The high-quality prints on metallic paper, where water appears like pearls or precious crystal shards, captivate the eye and invite contemplation. Each portrait is an invitation to reconnect with the very essence of life. Dans cette exploration artistique, Baumann nous convie à une introspection sur notre lien avec l'eau et la nature. Ces tirages argentiques subliment le détail, l’expression, l’émotion. Sous la douche, moment de vulnérabilité et de sincérité, les visages se dévoilent, les personnalités émergent, et les récits se murmurent silencieusement. Ce contact intime avec l'eau suscite une gamme de réactions, de la surprise à la méditation, de l'extase à la mélancolie. Plus que de simples photographies, ces images sont des œuvres d'art, signées et numérotées par l'artiste. Arnaud Baumann, avec son œil de documentariste et son cœur d'humaniste, saisit des moments éphémères de vérité. Ses modèles, qu'ils soient artistes, écrivains, scientifiques ou inconnus, nous livrent une part de leur intimité, offrant un kaléidoscope de la société en quête de réponses existentielles. Les tirages de qualité sur papier métallisé, où l’eau apparaît comme des perles ou des éclats de cristal précieux, captivent le regard et invitent à la contemplation. Chaque portrait est une invitation à renouer avec l'essence même de la vie.

Little Black Book

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.
Alain Bashung by Arnaud Baumann

★ ICONIC PORTRAITS ★

Who's Who is the directory of people who are supposed to be important in the life of a country. The first English edition dates from 1849, the French from 1953. Arnaud Baumann's more recent, fresher, more unbuttoned Who's Who began in the '80s, when as a young photographer, he began to frame in his viewfinder people who mattered, particularly to him. For example, the libertarian squad of the newspaper Hara-Kiri, of which there remains a spirit, a disruptive and ill-bred body of work, a legacy, an offspring, a tragedy - the Charlie Hebdo massacre in January 2015 - and a book-bible, Dans le ventre de Hara Kiri (Éd. La Martinière, 2015), a tumultuous echography produced by Arnaud Baumann with his long-time alter ego, photographer Xavier Lambours. The difference between the ordinary Who's Who and his is that in his, it's the texts that are brief and secondary, and the photos that are big and important.
