We are delighted to announce our return this year to Paris Photo!
From extreme violence to black humour
Wars, state cruelty, terrorist attacks, social upheaval. The aftermath. Shadowy apparitions. For Paris Photo 2025 °CLAIRbyKahn explores photography as a powerful tool for recording and processing violence, from a place of compassion, and, from time to time, with a hint of irony.
Featuring works by Patrick Zachmann and Yves Samuel commemorating the victims of the 2015 Paris attacks, by Eric Schwab (the liberation of the concentration camps), Shigeichi Nagano (the 1960 Tokyo Anpo protests), Thomas Dworzak (the Caucasus, 2013), Edward Kaprov (geopolitical conflict), Roger Ballen (psychic turmoil), and Seán Hillen (impending doom).
Our selection pushes the boundaries of the photographic medium, bringing together pieces by multidisciplinary artists whose practices cover journalism, collage and drawing.
The photographs by Yves Samuel will be exhibited by the RATP in an exhibition inside the République metro station from 11 to 17 November.
