The absolute generosity of musicians towards their audience

About Music Spirit

Music Spirit

Justine Darmon is deeply inspired by the absolute generosity musicians show towards their audience: those suspended moments when emotion and joy transcend all notion of time. On stage, each artist fully immerses themselves, crafting sounds that reach deep into listeners, guiding them into profound introspection.

Through her photographs, Justine Darmon reveals this internal journey, finely capturing the essence of each musician and their power to ignite in others an irrepressible desire to live, excel, and share. Focusing on Jazz and World Music, she expresses her sensitivity towards the cultural diversity and openness to the world embodied by these musical genres.

Her images subtly convey the unique dynamics among artists, the raw, almost primal energy, and visceral emotions unleashed by the music, thus offering a sublime vision of this sensory experience.

Fallen Angels

by Jaroslav

A unique milk projection technique!

Few Words on Fallen Angels

Few photographic series manage to encapsulate both the weight of profound personal suffering and the grandeur of artistic transcendence as effectively as Jaroslav Wieczorkiewicz’s Fallen Angels. This evocative body of work stands at the crossroads of fine art, mythology, and high-speed photography, constructing a visual language that speaks to grief, trauma, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Rooted in the artist’s deeply personal experiences—bearing witness to his mother’s battle with cancer, the loss of his father to depression, and the devastation of miscarriage, all within a single year—Fallen Angels is not merely a photographic exercise but a visceral act of catharsis. Each image becomes a manifestation of sorrow made tangible, a means of externalizing inner fractures while inviting viewers to confront their own narratives of loss.

Jaroslav does not seek to glorify suffering, but rather to sculpt its essence into form, capturing both its brutalism and its lingering presence. His signature technique—meticulously photographing liquid in motion—takes on a particularly symbolic role in this series. The fluid, ephemeral wings of his celestial figures, composed of splashes of milk and paint frozen in time, embody the precarious balance between celestial purity and human fragility. The result is a striking duality: weightlessness and turmoil, transcendence and collapse.

Technically, Fallen Angels is an ambitious feat. Wieczorkiewicz employs a combination of high-speed photography and advanced digital compositing, layering dozens, sometimes hundreds, of images to construct each final composition. The meticulous process underscores his mastery of both precision and storytelling, ensuring that every droplet, every frozen motion, contributes to the overarching emotional and visual impact.

More than an aesthetic spectacle, Fallen Angels is a meditation on resilience. These figures, caught between flight and descent, illustrate the profound human experience of carrying one’s scars forward, searching for light even amid engulfing darkness. Through his unique fusion of technique and emotion, Wieczorkiewicz crafts a visual elegy—one that lingers, resonates, and redefines the boundaries of contemporary fine art photography.

Celebrated for its originality and technical ingenuity, Fallen Angels solidifies Jaroslav’s place as a pioneer in liquid photography, reaffirming his ability to transform the ephemeral into the eternal.

The liquid photography

Jaroslav’s liquid photography technique is a fusion of high-speed photography and meticulous digital compositing. Using real liquids such as milk and paint, he captures splashes in motion with extreme precision, freezing them mid-air. These liquid elements are then carefully layered and sculpted to form intricate figures, clothing, and wings, creating surreal, ethereal compositions. His mastery of timing, lighting, and post-production transforms fleeting fluid dynamics into striking Fine Art pieces, where movement and form merge seamlessly into one.

Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

by Gerard Rancinan

A committed perspective on the major transformations shaping humanity

Few Words on Metamorphosis

The acceleration of history, the desire for unalterable beauty, the quest for eternity, the tireless longing for a Promised Land, the self-destructive impulse, the virtualization of the world, and the imperative of modernity: all these factors compel us to pay close attention to the Metamorphoses affecting humanity.

For the first time, humankind has reached the limits of its innovations. With Hiroshima, it summoned the specter of total annihilation. Since then, we have entered a world that eludes us entirely. Caught in the cogs of an infernal machine, human beings have become slaves to their own creations.

Gérard Rancinan follows the thread of art history, establishing links with classical artists and appropriating universal themes to depict his era and its great upheavals. In the “Raft of Illusion,” the slaves of yesteryear have become unemployed migrants, prepared to risk their lives for the ambiguous lure of distant shores. In “The Big Supper,” Leonardo’s ascetic masterpiece is transformed into an orgy of cheap, brightly colored food, while a disdainful host opts for more organic fare.

By posing a series of ethical questions, Caroline Gaudriault—co-author of the series—and Gérard Rancinan appeal to our conscience. “Metamorphoses” is a provocation, a call to reflection.

Eau Secours

Each droplet that glides over the skin tells a unique story

Quelques mots sur Eau Secours

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.

Little Black Book

Little Black Book

by Arnaud Baumann

A raw journey through the quest for freedom

A Few Words About Little Black Book

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.

The paradox of nudity and its censorship.

A few words about Virtual Street Art

The paradox of nudity and its censorship.

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.

A few words about The World We Left Them

What will future generations say when they talk about 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?
