 Japan 2025 © Daniel AnizonENTRE CHIEN ET FLOU As the title suggests, the photographs in this exhibition were captured primarily at dusk—a time when shadows lengthen, colours are transformed by the fading light, and a sense of mystery pervades the scene. The blur is not an aesthetic choice but a natural corollary of the photographer’s way of working. As he walks along, images come to him obliquely, much like memories glimpsed in a dream. Sharpness is not what interests him — he is in motion when pressing the shutter, whence the resulting blur. The colours proliferate, creating a third dimension in the landscape.The exhibition features the artist’s vintage gelatin silver prints from the early nineties, made while wandering aimlessly through a snowbound Russia that had itself lost its bearings after perestroïka, alongside his recent digital colour prints (2018-2025) set in the familiar surroundings of Aubrac and, at the other extreme, Japan.  Norilsk 1995 © Daniel AnizonDANIEL ANIZON Born in Nantes and based between Paris and Aubrac, Daniel Anizon is a photographer-author with an unconventional background. After completing a PhD in Economics in 1973, he spent three years travelling the world alone without a camera—a foundational experience recounted in his 2021 memoir Sans raison ni maison. He first took up photography in 1982, and his artistic vision was further shaped by his discovery of Japan in 2018. His career is marked by prestigious distinctions, notably the Prix Ilford (1984), the Prix Médicis Hors les Murs (1987) for his work on Canadian trappers, and the Prix News at the Rencontres d’Arles (1988). He has held international residencies in Canada and the United States, and celebrated 40 years of photography with a presentation at Gens d’images/ADAGP in Paris in 2024. His works are featured in major public collections, including the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Still active today, he recently exhibited at the Maison Heinrich Heine in Paris (2021) as well as at the Galerie Mind’s Eye in 2026.
