Here’s a focus on five of the readers’ favourite discoveries, presented in June 2021 on Fisheye’s website: La Fille Renne, Cecilia Sordi Campos, Martin Colombet, Gaël Bonnefon and Jeanne Pieprzownik.
1. La Fille Renne
With Récupérer Nos Corps, a project combining written testimonies and photographs, the artist La Fille Renne denounces the systemic violence in gynaecological and obstetrical environments. A long-term project defying censorship and taboos in order to shed light on blatant injustices. Interview.

2. Cecilia Sordi Campos
Tem Bigato Nessa Goiaba,
a metaphorical series imagined in the wake of a break-up, reads like a rebirth. In the burning landscapes of her native Brazil, photographer Cecilia Sordi Campos imagines complex narratives, crossing her own story with that of an entire country’s.

3. Martin Colombet

4. Gaël Bonnefon
With Même Soleil, Gaël Bonnefon and Frédéric D. Oberland present a dialogue between pictures and music in the form of a requiem for time. Designed by IIKKI publishing house, the book and the record offer a six-handed work in withdrawal from the world.

5. Jeanne Pieprzownik
mixes fine art with photography while she paints her images with colourful tones to enhance the world’s splendour. Inspired by naïve art and surrealism, she uses nuances to compose a story rich in emotion, where each contrast becomes a symbol, a fragment, a sensation.
