Yang Bin, Franck Bohbot, Pierre-Andre Boussac, Jean Dieuzaide, Laurent Dequick, Nicolas Jaquet, Leon & Levy, Boris Lipnitzki, Luc Marciano, Peter Turnley, Damien Vassart In this temporary exhibition, YellowKorner will introduce its oldest photos from the universal exhibition of Paris in the 1900s; the rare colour photos of the Grand Palais in 1904 and incredible shots of the Eifel tower by Leon & Levy, as well as its most contemporary images, such as the very modern Centre Pompidou captured in a superimposed style by the French photographer Laurent Dequick. YellowKorner is also pleased to present a vision of Hong Kong as seen by French artists and photographers. Amongst them are shots by Nicolas Jaquet which reveal a particularly warm and animated atmosphere that contrasts the visibly colder and imposing skyscrapers. Appreciating the highly contrasting atmosphere of Hong Kong, which combines business districts and working-class neighbourhoods, the photographer not only reveals the city’s stunning organisation, but also the lights and colours that this port metropolis is so well known for. Transformation comes from contact with other societies and will always bring on enrichment… The global idea of the exhibition is to enable people to discover how French and Chinese visions have been transformed over the years and to analyze this through the eyes and influence of its greatest photographers. From Peter Turnley, the heir to great masters of French photography such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau, to Yang Bin, the Chinese artist who composes his photographs like a painter constructs paintings and an artist’s style transforms his models, this exhibition aims to bring a new artistic angle to the two countries and show how differently they can be represented.
