Thumb_artronbookfinalfinaljuly112011-jpg

I have always loved the process, the journey. This book, more than ever, is about a journey shared, not taken alone. The editing process of this book turns out to have been a more challenging journey than I could have imagined. Questioning my choices rather than relying on my intuitio...

1784

Thumb_01_cedric-delsaux-1784-jpg

In 2009, he finished “1784”, a series complete with incoherencies, blurred boundaries of time and space, mental images colliding with perceptions. Yet while “The Dark Lens” and “We Will Remain on Earth” called up our memories of the future, “1784” awakens our fantasies of the past.

Clemente Bernad
Kept Awake

Thumb_001-rmh11d001061-jpg

“Kept awake” is the name of the book published by Alkibla Editorial. There is a certain kind of silence that speaks, that roars, and calls to account. And it exists in the graves of those executed during the Spanish CivilWar, graves which are still waiting to be opened today.

Tom Wood

He’s an English national but an Irish native, which explains why he didn’t hesitate to photograph both the statue of Joan of Arc and Napoleon’s tomb last Sunday in Paris. This discrete photographer may tell the stories of the downtrodden of “Perfidious Albion”, but he dislikes being ph...
