Memory is fragile, bending and reshaping over time. For the artist chosen for this month’s solo exhibition, memory is not just personal—it is collective, historical, and deeply interwoven with questions of inheritance, trauma, and resilience.
Featuring iconic works by Raymond Cauchetier, Édouard Boubat, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jean-Philippe Charbonnier, Robert Doisneau, Willy Ronis, Sabine Weiss, and others, the exhibition highlights the timeless artistry of French Humanist photography. These photographers developed a unique style that bridges realism and lyricism, capturing spontaneous moments, intimate gestures, and ordinary life with profound emotional resonance. Positioned between photojournalism and painterly observation, their images offer a deep insight into the human condition, celebrating the beauty of everyday existence with compassion and grace.

The photographs in this exhibition are part of a project about rural life in the Hudson Valley. For the past five years, I have been taking photographs of individuals and families in upstate New York. Having spent many years as a weekender and homeowner, most of the people I knew were other New Yorkers, and I never had the chance to meet people who grew up in this rural area. During the pandemic, I spent many hours outside with my camera, walking along the road and photographing local residents. Eventually, I decided to create a project about the people I met. Now, as some of these individuals have become friends, I continue to meet others whose families have lived in this area for many generations.
