Booklet 06A + 06B + 06C

The first booklet is composed of three portfolios. The first presents Miguel Aguilar's "+d'espace" series. By combining archival images and photographs taken by him in emblematic locations in the history of space exploration, Miguel Aguilar brings to life one of the greatest adventures of the human species 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 vast book, both in form and content. And the last portfolio presents the work of Sandrien Elberg. A collection 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 Filip De Smet's Crystal series and a focus on the lower half of Peter Waterschoot's painting, with a selection of their respective works.
Based on these series, but also on previously unseen images that they have kindly shared with us, the Belgian section will once again take us to the frontiers of the visual universes that constitute the characteristics of a Nordic photography in full revival.

Booklet C, like all three issues of Halogenure, is dedicated to photographers working with a particular technique. We decided to present three photographers who work with pinhole cameras in different ways and with different aesthetics.
It will be about slowness, time, and that curious blend of mastery and letting go that pinhole photography imposes on us. The meticulous and intimate, vaporous and graphic work of Manon Weiser. Jacques Prud'homme, one of the leading figures in pinhole photography, has been wandering around Saint-Étienne for years with his simple drinks cans, which he transforms into cameras.
Finally, we will meet Patrick Caloz. During a long interview with him, we will navigate between his purely photographic artistic projects and those where the pinhole camera also becomes a phenomenal tool for sharing and communicating with the world around him and those who inhabit it.
