Sarah Moon
The photographs by Sarah Moon exposed by Camera Obscura are unsettling by their pictorial aspects and their impressions of softness. Indeed, the veiled light caused by the quality of the carbon print as well as the diaphanous light that emanates from the photography reminds us of impressionist works.
Thus the "Le chapeau grenat" creates an illusion evoking, with finesse and elegance, painting through the contemporary eye of a photographer.

Dominique Paul
The surprising series of photomontages "Insects of Suriname" by the artist Dominique Paul exposed by Miyako Yoshinaga depicts an extraordinary and psychedelic world worthy of a painting by Jerôme Bosch. The idea of metamorphosis and hybridity of the body being central in his work. Dominique Paul transforms "insects" by fragmentation, mutation and games of scaling the bodies the men from Suriname, the least densely populated country in South America.

Harry Gruyaert
The light in Harry Gruyaert's photographs are so absorbing that it almost gives off heat. The graphic rigor conferred by the straights lines of the shadows and the design of cars and buildings marks the affirmed style of Harry Gruyaert. Appearing calm and empty the landscapes are akin to a break in time, a suspended moment, in the manner of Edward Hopper painting.

Christianne Feser
Christianne Feser plays with our senses by proposing a work that combines two dimensions and three dimensions. Clever volume and shades deceive our visual perception. An ingenious optical illusion is imagined by the photographer with the use of shadow, giving impression of a graphic drawing.
