Say Liberty Photograph - Limited Edition of 33

Limited series of 33. Awarded Photography at the PX3 - Paris photography Prize 2021- winner Curator selection - State Of The World. Awarded Photography at One Eyeland - World's top 10 fashion Fine Art photographer 2021 This photograph was originally part of a series shot in New York city, in late august 2001 for a fashion magazine and was selected to be the cover. The magazine sold out in few hours on the day of the release right after 9/11, quite involuntarily. It's been exhibited around the world and been passing through time and events without running out of steam. In 2020, with Black Lives Matter and the #MeToo movements, the picture again brings a very singular resonance. Story behind the picture explained at the FRAC retrospective exhibition written by Patrice Fuma-courtis, former Chief Editor of Twill Magazine: In mid-August 2001 we produced this image, with photographer Emmanuel Gimeno, it was a cover for 'Twill, a magazine we were supposed to launch a month later, part of an editorial celebrating NYC diversity of styles. It became 'Twill first issue cover renamed "Chaos and Confusion"published in Oct 2001. Last week we launched K+P : Le Manifeste Couleur : our 20 years collaboration retrospective with karine chane yin. We curated, and enlarged this print to the max as we really love it, and we still are thinking this was the best way to illustrate our fights for diversity and color in the fashion business. Sadly, once again, it seems that the odd destiny of this picture is to reveal something else than what it is meant to be in the first place.
