Booklet 06A + 06B + 06C
The first booklet is composed of three portfolios. The first one presents the "+space" series by Miguel Aguilar. By combining archival images and photographs taken by him in places that are emblematic of the history of the conquest of space, Miguel Aguilar brings to life one of the greatest adventures of the human race with a critical and subversive eye. The second portfolio looks back at one of the editorial events of 2019: the publication by B2 Editions of the book "Sea of intranquility" by Nikola Jankovic & Sarah Vadé. A huge book, as much by its form as by its content. And the last portfolio presents Sandrien Elberg's work. A set of ambivalent images from hostile and improbable territories linked to our collective imagination, a work that invites us to travel beyond the solar system.
Booklet B presents a selection of photographs from the series Crystal by Filip De Smet and A focus on the lower half of the painting by Peter Waterschoot, with a selection from their respective works.Based on these series, but also on previously unpublished images that they have kindly entrusted to us, the Belgian section will once again lead us to the boundaries of the visual universes that constitute the characteristics of a Nordic photography in full revival.
Booklet C, like every third issue of Halogenide is dedicated to photographers working with a particular technique. We have decided to present three photographers working with pinhole photography, in different ways and with different aesthetics. It will be a question of slowness, of time, of the curious mixture of mastery and letting go that pinhole photography imposes on us. Manon Weiser's careful and intimate, vaporous and graphic work. Jacques Prud'homme, one of the leading figures in pinhole photography, has been walking around Saint Etienne for years with his simple drinks cans that he transforms into a camera. Finally, we will meet Patrick Caloz. During a long interview with him, we will navigate between his purely photographic artistic projects and those in which the pinhole camera also becomes a phenomenal tool for sharing and communicating with the world around him and those who inhabit it.
