We are delighted to announce our return this year to Paris Photo!
Intertwined / Entrelacés
Gestures—both subtle and sweeping—can be liberating acts. We are pleased to present works by artists Sigalit Landau, Erich Hartmann, Oliver Mark, Chien-Chi Chang and Eikoh Hosoe which explore how the body can be a source of alienation but also of emancipation.
In Landau’s ‘Mermaids (Erasing the Border of Azkelon)’ (2011), three naked women emerge from the sea and etch lines in the sand, washed swiftly away by the waves.
In ‘Laser Nudes’ (1977-’78), Hartmann (1922-1999) draws with a laser on the female body, playing with notions of authorship and breaking the confines of the medium.
In ‘Embrace no. 52’ (1970) Eikoh Hosoe abstracts two bodies united in an act of intimacy.
In ‘Jenny Holzer’s Hands’ (1996), Mark captures the artist’s hands in a configuration that suggests a struggle to rid herself of invisible bonds.
In ‘The Chain’ (1998), Chang records the body language and micro-expressions of mental health patients interned at a Buddhist temple in Taiwan. Chang’s nuanced depiction conveys a cautious optimism—it can even be read as a call for solidarity.
The fair takes place from 7 to 10 November at the newly renovated Grand Palais. See you at booth C04!
