A curation by Rita Cerciello, Founder & Senior Curator at Independent Art Advisory - This work by Grégory Herpe captures moments suspended between wonder and awareness between the grandeur of history and the intimacy of human gaze. The eternal symbols of the French capital, here reveals itself not as a distant monument, but as a living presence, crossed by light, shadow, and memory. Through his unmistakable black-and-white poetics, Herpe constructs a dialogue between the visible and the invisible. The gaze of the woman contemplating the monument, framed by her own arms, becomes the medium of a double act of seeing her vision and that of the photographer. It is a play of reflections and intertwined perspectives, the very essence of photography as encounter.
