See the world

n a few days, the Paris Photo 2025 fair will open its doors. One of its most famous icons, Henri Cartier-Bresson, once said that, in photography, "ultimately, it's an intense way of being present, of questioning, of contemplating." This photographic journey, presented by YourArt’s renowned, acclaimed, and amateur artists alike, seeks to contemplate the wonders and surprises of the world, to question certain striking or moving situations, and above all, to be present in a committed way through the power of images. As determined witnesses, Pascal Convert, Amélie Labourdette, and Manuella Morgaine focus on what endures from current conflicts, whether within landscapes or in the memories of affected peoples. With Benjamin Mouly and Hannah Archambault, the nearly spectral solitude of the few survivors becomes even more poignant. The inherent geometry in all construction is among photography’s favorite subjects. While Georges Rousse, Amélie Labourdette, and Tadzio push it to pure abstraction, Giulio Di Sturco, Isabelle Scotta, and Alain Bublex capture in a single frame a suspended, almost cinematic narrative. Acting as a whistleblower, Patrick Tosani concludes this selection with an enigmatic image. Photography doesn’t just awaken our sight; it awakens our conscience as well!
