It feels as though I have reached the end of the world, travelling from my nook in the southernmost part of the city, north to Pantin and into this sun-lit room of dreams. It is here, in the post-industrial epicentre of Paris’ regenerative mission, that the Magasins Généraux hosts its latest exhibition, Le Salon des Songes, created by artist and musician, Inès di Folco Jemni.

Bullring Outside Sevilla: danger, desire and dance in the photography of Ruven Afanador

Ruven Afanador, Noel Pardo and Cristóbal Pardo Jr., Bogotá, Colombia (Torero Series), 2001

Afanador’s work balances high theatricality and a sensibility towards the delicate and the precise. There is a desire to display the subject, which ranges from trained ballet dancers, to cult celebrity figures, to the idenginous communities of his native Colombia, without pretense or artifice.
