Écho 119 gallery and bookshop was founded in 2016 by Noëlle Colin, who divides her life between France and Japan. Specializing in photography, the gallery presents the work of established and emerging photographers, with a particular interest in Japanese artists. Without ever deviating from this dual culture, which forms its identity and determines its line, Écho119 has been enriched by new artistic sensibilities, all of which have in common the practice of an art concerned with contemporary issues, with an important formal preoccupation, an aesthetic research that turns images into intellectually and visually powerful works of art. In the spirit of the Japanese photographic tradition, Écho119 also offers a wide selection of photography books, from the latest releases to rare editions. The gallery is run by Salomé d'Ornano, with Kinuko Asano as artistic director.
