Les héros ont la vie courte by design by
1er juillet 2007, Fersen 6 ans et Eva 4 ans quittent Paris pour vivre à 900 km. La distance qui nous sépare désormais est à la hauteur du lien qui nous lie. Leur mère a toujours beaucoup voyagé, jusqu’ici cela renforçait la relation que j’entretenais avec mes enfants, mais cette fois son départ nous sépare.
Un projet a alors pris corps. Leur enfance s’entremêlent au souvenir de la mienne et cette séparation, à la mort accidentelle de mon père lorsque j’avais 10 ans.
Éclipsée la figure paternelle, je me suis contenté de petites choses et ai moins bien dormi la nuit. Quant à mes enfants, ils n’ont pas eu le temps de tuer le père, le héros a eu la vie trop courte.
J’ai photographié ce que je ne saurais exprimer autrement, des nœuds qui parfois étranglent ou enlacent… printedmatterinc

At the Louis Vuitton Foundation, David Hockney, 25 unfolds a dizzying retrospective - more than 400 works through seven decades of creation. From the figurative painting of the 1960s to the digital experiences of 2025, Hockney himself orchestrates this exhibition as a visual manifesto, fusing classical mediums and contemporary technologies. A sensory and cerebral dive into the work of an iconoclast whose plastic audacity has continued to redefine our gaze.

🇺🇦 Petit objet Risographique , imprimé sur du papier 80g at home ´Courage ´ by the Ukrainian artist .hrabarska I know it will sound a bit unexpected, but I’m very VERY pleased to announce a new book that was published in Paris TODAY by Editions Bessard
This project is a love letter to my youth spent in Ukraine and around the world (but mostly in Ukraine).
Photos dug up from my archives: fights in Parliament, summer in Odesa, my two hometowns - Kryvyi Rih and Kyiv, first time in Berlin and Istanbul, my friends — when all of us were unforgettably young.
When Pierre asked me about the title for our zine
« Courage » was my first thought.
French « Bon courage » (good luck) and Ukrainian « КУРАЖ » (lighthearted fun) - two words with the same sound, but different meanings. Both of the meanings are required to live, to love, to be free and to be happy.
Limited edition of 50 copies printed by L’AtelieRisographie.
Available online.
