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 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.

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.

In partnership with Wipplay Paris // The Larousse dictionary defines resilience as the ability to withstand shocks and keep going, whether in mechanics, ecology, or human behavior. It's about taking a hit and moving forward. Through photography, resilience captures strength, vulnerability, and hope, revealing how life endures even as seasons change.

When people flee violence or conflict, they face years of uncertainty. Sport can be a source of hope, helping them heal, grow, and find normalcy. It brings joy, builds friendships, and helps integrate refugees into their new communities. This exhibition by UNHCR shows how sport can change lives, break barriers, and even take talented individuals to the Olympic Games.
