PORTRAITS / EDITORIAL · PORTRAITS
A story in a portrait.
Each portrait begins with a conversation. A life story, a commitment or a personal tension becomes the starting point for a scene developed with the person being photographed.
Ahd Kamel
Saudi film director
A face concealed by cigarette smoke, clothing that plays with different eras and an initial worn as a pendant. The portrait explores the tension between what is revealed and what is withheld.
Euzhan Palcy
Barefoot in the middle of a Paris junction, wearing contemporary African jewellery: a warrior-like presence expressing the filmmaker's determination and commitment.
Golan Yosef
The dancer leaves the stage for an office. In evening dress, his athletic movement turns a workplace into a space for expression.
Malin Akerman
Echoing her role in Watchmen, the portrait explores a fantastical presence and superhero-inspired movement without resorting to violence.

Mona Eltahawy
Egyptian journalist and feminist activist
A rose held tightly despite its thorns: an image developed together around resistance, vulnerability and the determination to speak out.
Nick Miller
Writer
Two states of the same work: the struggle to find the words and the joy of seeing them emerge. An animated diptych gives shape to a conversation about writing.
