Description from the seller

REFUGE
Bruno FERT (Born in 1971)
Ali’s Hut, the Jungle of Calais, France, 2016
Fine Art print on Hahnemühle Ultrasmooth paper, title and date inscribed, signed in pencil in the margin
32 x 25.5 cm (40 x 50 cm)

These images tell what exile and migration are. These interiors draw the mental universe of those who are on the road: their traditions, their aspirations, their personalities. They are no longer simply migrants, but merchants, young adults barely out of childhood, or mystical artists. Before the photographer’s lens, the “migrants” or “refugees” – generic terms that make us lose sight of their identity – are no longer silhouettes walking in the mud among the tents, but faces that look back at us... Above all, these shots convey the astonishing capacity of humans, whether nomadic or sedentary, to inhabit the place where they live, even for a short time, even a hut or a tent in Calais.

Bruno Fert — Documentary Photographer
Bruno Fert develops a deeply humanist body of work devoted to exile, migrations and the traversed territories. From vanished Palestinian villages to the precarious shelters of migrants, he photographs less the event than its traces. With Passages, he continues this work on the roads of exile, revealing in the landscapes the marks left by those who strive to reach Europe. A precise and silent photography, where the landscape becomes bearer of memory.

Seller's Story

THE TAYLOR GALLERY WORKSHOP The Atelier / Galerie Taylor, located at 7, on the eponymous street in the 10th arrondissement in Paris, is a friendly place dedicated to photography. It was created thanks to image enthusiasts, José Nicolas, photographer and manager of the place with the support of Jean Vinégla. Located a stone's throw from Place de la République, between rue du Château-d'eau and rue René-Boulanger, the place is dynamic, atypical and warm, resolutely turned towards sharing and mutual discovery of images at the 'international. The Atelier / Galerie Taylor is familiarly inclined to exhibit film photography while remaining open to the wide range of contemporary imaging techniques. It presents well-known and emerging photographers, with the aim of always surprising and arousing the curiosity of collectors and visitors. Since its opening in September 2019, the Atelier / Galerie Taylor has carved out a good reputation, going from being a confidential place to a showroom recognized by professionals and collectors, both for the choice of its programming and for the quality of the prints on display.
