Prized Possessions (2023), Thandiwe Muriu, Photography, 25x25 cm
From November 13 to 16, 2025, Paris Photo transforms the capital into a veritable laboratory of contemporary photography. Among the participating galleries, several from ArtMAjeur offer presentations where each image tells a story and where experimentation meets poetry.
Suzanne Tarasieve and Papillon: from the intimate to the irreverent
At Suzanne Tarasieve's gallery, photography becomes living sculpture and elegant provocation. Juergen Teller imposes his irreverent gaze on fashion and celebrity, rejecting retouching in favor of raw truth, while Mari Katayama transforms her body and prostheses into veritable works of art, poised between tenderness and strength. Next door, Galerie Papillon plays on irony and poetry. Raphaëlle Péria invites visitors to lose themselves in her engravings where scratching reveals unexpected landscapes, while VOID materializes sound into visual forms and volumes, transforming listening into an almost tactile experience.
Clémentine de la Féronnière and Bigaignon: poetry, abstraction and light
Clémentine de la Féronnière explores the memory of reality through the collages of Jesse Willems and the choreographic photography of Lore Stessel, where every gesture becomes a precious trace. Bigaignon, true to his exploration of space, light, and time, offers experimental and conceptual photography that questions the medium and its relationship to perception. The images become visual laboratories, where every detail counts and every absence becomes a presence.

193 Gallery: A photographic world tour
193 Gallery invites you on an international journey, featuring artists who explore culture and identity. Hassan Hajjaj celebrates Moroccan popular culture in colorful and critical portraits, Joana Choumali embroiders her photographs to give them a meditative slowness, and Thandiwe Muriu interrogates African beauty and identity with a luminous and radical power. With each image, the viewer is transported between memory, culture, and inventiveness.
Nathalie Obadia, The Daughters of Calvary and Maubert: Dialogues and Experiments
Nathalie Obadia offers an international panorama where photography, painting, and installation intersect with sensitivity and rigor, while continuing the rediscovery of forgotten artists. Les Filles du Calvaire presents a dialogue between five contemporary artists, where the diversity of approaches enriches the viewer's perspective and surprises at every turn. Finally, Maubert unveils a selection where photography, installation, and performance intertwine, offering a sensory and conceptual journey that transforms each work into a living experience.
Maya #01 (2025), Lore Stessel, Photograph, 160x140 cm
At Paris Photo 2025, the ArtMAjeur galleries transform each image into a visual shock, each booth into a playground for the curious eye. There, you encounter bodies that become sculptures, gestures that become poems, colors that explode or whisper, and details that stop you in your tracks. Art is no longer just something to look at: it is experienced, it surprises, it challenges, and sometimes it seduces with humor. Between wonder and vertigo, visitors leave this journey with the impression of having traversed entire worlds in just a few steps.
