“For several years now Edith Roux (France) has been photographing the increasing uniformity of the periphery of large cities in the European Union. Everywhere the same business estates, similar office complexes and uniform shopping malls are rising, invariably bordered by the same undeveloped terrain.

Serge Picard “explores in various technical approaches the possibilities and limits of photogaphy, its production, its time, its decomposition, its space, its eternisation of faces. Going from portrait to landscape, from nude to studies of materials, from colour to black and white, from Fresson printing to Polaroid negative, he treats his objects with deepness without ceasing to want to know better what is the photography in itself.”

I don’t know what to make of French photographer Bettina Rheims. Her photographic skills are quite good but, unfortunately, quite often she goes for what people might attribute to questionable taste or, at least, to an overly generous use of cliches.
