Claudine Doury & Jeffrey Silverthorne

Jeffrey Silverthorne @ VU
Apart from both being excellent photographers and represented by the agence VU, Claudine Doury and Jeffrey Silverthorne don't have much in common. Claudine Doury, who I admire a lot because of her ability to go between reportage and staging, investigates the sensibility of children and teenagers. while as Jeffrey Silverthorne violently explores the questions of sex and death, taking us to the darker corners of society, such as morgues and brothels. (And yes, sometimes it reminds me of Antoine Agata's work).
Right now, the two of them are being exposed in Paris, and I highly recommend their shows. Doury's at the Carré de Baudoin and Silverthorne's at the galerie VU. Jeffrey Silverthorne, Galerie VU, until Oct. 29. Claudine Doury, Carré de Baudoin, until Nov. 26, 2011.

À part d'être tous les deux des excellents photographes représentés par l'agence VU, Claudine Doury et Jeffrey Silverthorne n'ont pas grande chose en commun. Claudine Doury, que j'admire beaucoup pour son aisance d'osciller entre le reportage et la mise en scène, se renseigne sur la sensibilité des enfants et des adolescents. Jeffrey Silverthorne, de son côté, explore violemment les questions de la sexualité et de la mort, nous emmenant au coins les plus sordides de la société, comme les morgues et les maison closes (et oui, parfois cela me rappelle l'œuvre d'Antoine d'Agata).
En ce moment, les deux sont exposés à Paris, et je vous recommande vivement d'aller voir les expos. Celle de Doury au Carré de Baudoin, celle de Silverthorne's à la galerie VU. Jeffrey Silverthorne, Galerie VU, jusqu'au 29 oct.. Claudine Doury, Carré de Baudoin,  jusqu'au 26 nov, 2011.

Förutom att båda är utmärkta fotografer, representerade av agenturen VU, har inte Claudine Doury och Jeffrey Silverthorne så mycket gemensamt. Claudine Doury, som jag beundrar mycket för hennes förmåga att röra sig mellan reportage och iscensättning, utforskar barn och tonåringars känsloliv. Jeffrey Silverthorne, å sin sida, utforskar frågor kring död och sexualitet och tar oss med till samhällets mörkare hörn, som bårhus och bordeller (och, ja, ibland påminner det mig om Antoine Agatas bilder).
Just nu ställer båda två ut i Paris, och jag rekommenderar de som har möjligheten, att se båda utställningarna. Doury på Carré de Baudoin och Silverthorne på galerie VU. Jeffrey Silverthorne, Galerie VU, t.o.m 20 okt. Claudine Doury, Carré de Baudoin, t.o.m. 26 nov. 2011.

  1. Looks like an interesting exhibition. What I can see from the shots you took looks exactly as you describe: dark, edgy (the Silverthorne stuff, I'm guessing). I like the idea of this, too: " Claudine Doury, who I admire a lot because of her ability to go between reportage and staging..." I can see how you would appreciate that "walking between two lines" with her work.

    I just saw that Diane Arbus will have an exhibit at the Jeu de Paume starting this Tuesday until this coming February. If you would like to check it out, let me know! I'd love to go and see her stuff -- I admire her work. :)

    Take care, Karin.
