All Day

Dysnomia, Alexandre Dupeyron (DE) | Exhibition

Văcărești National Park București

Alexandre Dupeyron’s artistic projects have come together in Dysnomia, presented as a book, a live projection mixing his photos with a 60-minute music piece by Thomas Julienne's "Theorem of Joy," and an exhibition where he reinterprets his black-and-white work in color using a gum bichromate process.

Wish You Were Here, Sarah Palmer (CA) | Exhibition

Tineretului Park Sector 4, București

Wish You Were Here explores the rise of "last-chance tourism" in the face of the climate crisis, where travelers visit threatened destinations before they vanish. Spanning four continents over ten years, Palmer's work contrasts idyllic vacation spots with the harsh realities of climate change—melting glaciers, rising seas, and dying coral reefs. Her imagery intentionally juxtaposes leisure with the unsettling truth of our environmental decline.

600* , Les Associés Collective (Alban Dejong, Alexandre Dupeyron, Hervé Lequeux, Elie Monferier, Olivier Panier des Touches, Michaël Parpet, Joël Peyrou) | Exhibition

Văcărești National Park București

The fires in La Teste and Landiras made big news in summer 2022 for their intensity and length. Now that winter is here and the media has moved on, the collective Les Associés is reflecting on what happened with a new documentary project called 600°. They’re using photography, video, and sound to explore the economic, social, and climate issues raised by the fires and still relevant questions about land management and planning.

UKRAINE: THOSE WHO STAY BEHIND, Nicolas Dykmans – BE | Exhibition

Pasajul Mihai Bravu București

In the second year of war, while men are scarce, life goes on in Ukraine. Women wait for their partners, youth face the threat of conscription, and older generations help care for children. Some people hide or can’t serve due to their roles in society. During his visit to Ukraine, Nicolas Dykmans focused on these often-overlooked individuals to show that life continues, even amid the trauma of conflict.

The Angels of Nazareth, Hugo Weber – FR | Exhibition

Pasajul Mihai Bravu București

The community of Nazareth, managed by Caritas Spes, is a center for IDPs, mutilated soldiers, and drug addicts on the outskirts of Drohobych, Ukraine. Once a secret Soviet military base, it now symbolizes Ukrainian resilience and the quest for a national identity amidst ongoing conflict. The center brings together diverse individuals united by war, sharing stories of suffering and hope. This project aims to depict their daily lives, highlighting their struggle for normalcy and national pride. Since arriving six months ago, I’ve been moved by the Ukrainians’ gratitude and hospitality, and this work seeks to share their human drama and desire for peace.

CYBORG DOLPHIN TEARS, Mihai Barabancea – RO | Lecture

Scemtovici & Benowitz Gallery Str. Jean Louis Calderon 34, București

In Cyborg Dolphin Tears, Mihai Barabancea delves into dystopian themes by blending Balkan folklore with retro-futuristic styles and neo-kitsch subcultures. The photobook highlights the intersection of humanity and technology through a mix of traditional textures and digital effects. Barabancea presents an allegory of the post-truth era, where fragmented realities obscure identity and truth, while technology subtly shapes human cognition. Set against deteriorating post-socialist landscapes, his work offers a distinct Romanian narrative that addresses both the past and a future defined by surveillance and technological influence.

ARABIAN LOCATIONS, Gaëtan Soerensen – FR | Exhibition

Al-Aziziyah, near the Jordanian border in Saudi Arabia, is quickly transforming into a tourist destination, with new buildings and workers arriving fast. Just a few years ago, it didn’t exist; it’s part of a redevelopment effort spreading to the countryside.
Lacking official plans, the town feels randomly constructed, with many empty or unfinished houses. The photographer explores the idea of "place" versus "non-place," aiming to capture the unique reality of this unusual environment.

METAPHYSICAL BODY LANDSCAPES, Anna Laza – RO-CY | Exhibition

Scemtovici & Benowitz Gallery Str. Jean Louis Calderon 34, București

Anna Laza’s Metaphysical Body Landscapes blend conceptual photography with the human form, creating striking images that evoke emotions and our connection to nature. Using black and white, she captures the essence of landscapes through the body, exploring themes of life and existence. Her work emphasizes sensuality without sexualizing her subjects, inviting viewers to reflect on the profound ties between humanity and the natural world.
