Your favourite monthly discoveries of June

Here is a focus on three of the readers’ favourite discoveries, presented last June on Fisheye’s website.

1. Jocelyn Lee

The Appearance of Things

is a work that Jocelyn Lee has been perfecting for ten years. A pictural creation reflecting several of her favourite themes. In this project, portraits, landscapes and still lives merge. Her models – often found through ads in newspapers – like her floral compositions evoke, with poetry, the ephemerality of life. Canvas which appear like sceneries in the dark of night.

2. Federica Sasso

How to define boundaries when we live at the heart of a digital world? Millenials do not seem to have any. Growing up in synch with the growth of smartphones, social media have become a part of their lives. “Instagram requires them to play a role, to exhibit a strong personality”, Federica Sasso adds. In #Post-adolescence, the photographer meets the millenials, this generation of teenagers glued to their phones. By getting to know them, she went behind the scenes, and discovered a moving and poetic reality. A series to discover during the Night of the Year, in BYOPaper, Les Rencontres d’Arles.

3. Frank Horvat the “photosopher”, a film by Sandra Wis

At the MEP (European House of Photography), Frank Horvat and Sandra Wis reveal the product of their collaboration : Le Photosophe, des instants avec Frank Horvat (The Photosopher, instants with Frank Horvat, ed.). A captivating film creating a dialogue between photo and video. Viewable until November, 27th in Spain, as part of the Frank Horvat retrospective – Please don’t smile. A full-length feature on photography, on the photographic instant – far from a classical biopic. The quotes from the photosopher still resonate, like an ode to life : “Look, see and take”.
