Marqué par l’incroyable succès de l’édition 2014 au CENTQUATRE-Paris avec plus
de 43000 visiteurs le festival Circulation(s) revient pour sa cinquième édition avec
encore plus de force et d’envie de partager sa passion. Dédié à la jeune photographie
européenne, le festival Circulation(s) propose pour la cinquième année un regard
croisé sur l’Europe à travers la photographie. Il a pour vocation de faire émerger
les talents de la jeune photographie européenne et de faire découvrir au public la
création artistique contemporaine innovante. La programmation s’articule autour de
la sélection d’un jury suite à un appel à candidatures international, d’invités (une
galerie et une école) et de la carte blanche de la marraine de cette édition, Nathalie
Herschdorfer, directrice du Musée des beaux-arts de la ville du Locle, en Suisse.
Autour de cette exposition d’envergure réunissant 43 photographes européens, la
grande nouveauté de l’édition 2015 est une exposition à hauteur d’enfants, qui sera
accompagnée d’un programme pédagogique et d’un ensemble d’activités pour le
jeune public.
CIRCULATION(S), AN EUROPEAN FESTIVAL DEDICATED TO THE
YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHY
Considering the fact that there wasn’t any photographic event entirely dedicated
to the young European photography anywhere in France, Fetart has decided to
organize this festival in 2011 as an extension to its non-profit actions made since
2005 in order to promote young talents in photography throughout Europe.
Circulation(s) other ambition is to network with other European structures dedicated
to promote the young photography and communicate about initiatives made by
European curators, gallery, festivals, collectives, schools of photography and editors.
This festival stands out for its open mindedness and its pan-European as well as its
prospective vision about contemporary innovation and creation.
Beyond the setting up the exhibition itself, the festival wishes to relay European
cultural initiatives and give them more visibility within the festival such as :
- Giving an opportunity to the young artists to be represented in the cultural and
artistic European scene.
- Encourage the exchange of experiences by the mobility of European professionals
from the world of photography and image.
- Promote an intercultural dialogue.
- Identify a common and shared cultural European ground.
- Facilitate the circulation of cultural works and making accessible other European
projects to the widest possible audience.
En France, le festival Circulation(s) a tourné en 2014 au
- Centre Culturel André Malraux d’Herblay, 4 avril au 23 juin 2014
- Voyage à Nantes, du 27 juin au 20 septembre 2014
- Nuit Blanche de l’ile de la réunion, octobre 2014

THE “CENTQUATRE”
The « CENTQUATRE » is conceived as an artistic collaborative center mixing
innovation, creation and experience. Located in the former municipal funeral home,
this place can only be a welcoming and lively stage for the artists and the audience.
Opened to a vibrant contemporary artistic and cultural production as well as to the
performing arts, the center have the ability to present all of those forms of arts
within its walls, as its surface is vast and modular - it is divided in public spaces,
research workshops, and performing stages.
For the festival’s 5th edition, the “CENTQUATRE” becomes a special partner as it host
for the first time the Circulation(s) festival which will spread with various options
of scenography through the entire southern side of the center, from the “Château
d’Eau” (entry on rue Curial) to the “Halle Aubervilliers”, going across the “Nef Curial”
and the workshops rooms (1/3/5). Phrase -1 enfants

2 . PROGRAMMING

approach:

Following an international call for application disseminated to relevant structures
involved in the visual domain (institutions, festivals, schools, galleries, medias),
more than 600 photographers have sent a file.

approach, the candidatures were examined and selected by a jury of professional

3. PROGRAMMATION JEUNE PUBLIC
EXPOSITION A HAUTEUR D’ENFANTS
Les activités pédagogiques à destination du jeune public se concentreront autour
d’une innovation majeure dans la programmation de Circulation(s) : la réalisation
d’une exposition à hauteur d’enfants, dans un espace réservé (aux Écuries, niveau
-1) fourni par le CENTQUATRE-PARIS. Bénéficiant d’une signalétique adaptée, elle
présentera les mêmes séries que dans l’exposition principale, réorganisées de manière
thématique afin d’en faciliter l’approche.
Tout en demeurant entièrement libre d’accès et gratuit, le contenu de cette exposition
servira de base aux différentes activités pédagogiques. Ces dernières sont élaborées
parallèlement à la conception de l’exposition, de manière à faciliter l’exécution des
activités et éviter la juxtaposition d’un discours sur une exposition préalablement
construite.
VISITES GUIDÉES ET ATELIERS
En collaboration avec l’équipe de médiateurs du CENTQUATRE-PARIS, des visites
guidées de l’exposition principale et de l’espace enfants seront organisées, avec des
contenus adaptés aux publics visés. L’espace enfants pourra par ailleurs être exploité
pour des visites thématiques, type « visites en famille », avec une prise en charge des
enfants dans l’espace qui leur est dédié pendant que les parents visitent l’exposition
principale, avec un échange des expériences en fin de visite, ou encore des parcours
à effectuer en famille.
Comme en 2014, des ateliers seront menés par les différentes structures du
CENTQUATRE-PARIS en collaboration avec Fetart. Ils permettront aux enfants
d’expérimenter la photographie.
Ces activités peuvent se concevoir en collaboration avec les écoles, associations et
centres de loisirs, pendant le temps scolaire ou périscolaire.
Sur le long terme, notre objectif est de multiplier les ateliers centrés sur la création
photographique, afin de limiter la passivité des visiteurs et de proposer des activités
interactives. Chaque atelier aurait comme base un ou plusieurs travaux présentés
dans l’exposition, et serait encadré par un médiateur et/ou un photographe.
OUTILS PÉDAGOGIQUES
Les visites seront appuyées par des livrets pédagogiques : un livret-jeux pour
les enfants, un livret d’exercices pour les adolescents et un dossier pédagogique
plus étoffé, notamment à destination des enseignants. Conçus comme des outils
d’accompagnement, ces derniers seront distribués librement sur le site de l’exposition
et téléchargeables sur le site de Circulation(s).
Nouveauté 2015 : des tablettes numériques seront également mises à disposition
des visiteurs, offrant une approche interactive de l’exposition, à travers des contenus
complémentaires, des jeux, etc. Ce nouveau support constitue également une autre
manière d’envisager le temps de la visite, puisque l’application développée à cet effet
pourra également être téléchargée par les utilisateurs depuis leur propre tablette, et
consultable en dehors du lieu d’exposition.

ARTISTS INVITED BY NATHALIE HERSCHDORFER : 2015 SPONSOR’S EDITION
Salvi DANÉS
“Black Ice, Moscow”
SPAIN
Born in 1985 in Spain, lives and works in Barcelona (Spain).
FREE HAND
A thin and an invisible ice layer, which makes the free movement
difficult. An invisible barrier which has a fearful influence
on us when moving from one place to another. Leaning in
a kind of imaginary wall which makes our path easier and
which makes decisions for us. The city is an alien nucleus,
full of companions, but empty of partners, transported by an
intangible flow.
Moscow is the Soviet paradigm, an enormous city. It looks like
there is a dislocation in its inhabitants due to the impact of
a complex reality, of the result of a convulsed history, which
has gone from the tsarist feudalism to the dictatorship of the
proletariat, and from communism to the recent economic
liberalism. Nowadays, it is not completely different. Puttin
is carrying out a kind of politics based on the accumulation
of power and on the concentration of powers in the Russian
Federation instead of a real democracy.
www.salvidanes.com
Ola LANKO
“Kids”
UKRAINE
Born in 1985 in Ukraine, lives and works in Amsterdam
(Netherlands).
These series consist of 25 portraits of teenagers taken
on the roller coaster without them being aware of me
observing and photographing. My project investigates the
ability of photography to de-contextualize the subject from
its environment. And by the means of this I explore the
possible occurrence of a new meaning. “Kids” depicting an
uncontrolled stream of emotions in a teenager. The visual
language of these photographs refers to propaganda posters
used extensively in 1920-30’s by the Soviet authorities and
constructivists.

“Crowd”
SWITZERLAND
Born in 1984 in Switzerland, lives and works in Lausanne
(Switzerland).
In an era where everything seems to move towards
globalization, Cyril Porchet chose folkloric gatherings. In an
era where everything seems to move towards globalization,
a particular force comes out of them. Clan gatherings, color
casts, this relationship with tradition, everything is part of the
different tones and the mix of crowds.
The technical obligations were important, it took the artist a lot
of time to define an appropriate posture. But he now manages
to anticipate the photogenic character of a gathering according
to its population density, its colors and its movement.

The same subjects, photographed at the same moment,

Xenia NASELOU
“Random summer moments”
GREECE
Born in 1989 in Greece, lives and works in Athens (Greece).
SCHOOL GUEST
These photos were taken last summer with my mobile phone.
I started taking pictures to test my phone’s camera without
having to carry my camera, lenses and tripod around. A device
that you carry with you all the time, that helps you capture
random moments of your life, instantly.
Although I wasn’t amazed by the quality of the images, I
soon realised the magic and significance of the content and
duration that each picture was taken.
A photographer is not an “expensive camera”. Every single
photo is a story of thoughts, feelings and aesthetics that
can surpass the means deemed necessary for an important
picture.

Ioannis STEFANIDIS
“Mother”
GREECE
Born in 1973 in in Greece, lives and works in Athens (Greece).
SCHOOL GUEST
Mrs. Olga was born in Thessaloniki in 1938. She got married
at the age of 34 and moved in with her husband in Elefsina.
They had 3 children together. In 1990 her husband died. She
then had to attend to her family’s needs on her own. Despite
the health problems, the loneliness and the memories she’s
still happy and thankful for what life and experience brought
her throughout the years.
Ioannis Stefanidis started taking pictures of her during his
visits to her home, her “kingdom”, as if he were keeping a
diary. He tried to become as invisible as possible in order to
record her moves and feelings, all those details that count
for him. He photographed her the same way he would have
photographed his own mother.

Erik ÖSTENSSON
“The Circle and the Line”
SWEDEN
Born in 1978 in Sweden, lives and works in Stockholm
(Sweden).
When looking at our surroundings, we fill it with our own
notions. The objects or bodies are still there in front of us
and are what they are no matter what we think about them.
Without these simplifications, we would not be able to operate
within the world’s complexity. But at the same it makes us see
or experience only a very small part of our environment.
Based on this, I want to create images where the viewer can
see it all again. I do this by depicting objects from a new
angle and by putting them in a new context. Past notions are
replaced and the meanings of familiar objects expand.

“I would also like to be”
SUÈDE
Born in 1972 in Sweden, lives and works in Zurich (Switzerland)
since 2001.
GALLERY GUEST
I’m following and spying on my ex boyfriend and his new
girlfriend. I ‘m spying on them through Facebook, downloading
all the pictures of themselves they have been uploading there.
I’m placing myself in the “new girlfriend”’s position, imitating
her poses, expressions and dressing myself in the same outfit
as her. Then I’m photographing myself in the same light as
in their pictures. I finally glue my figure on top of the original
picture, covering the new girlfriend. By doing this, I compose
a dream of my own on top of theirs. During the process of
taking the new girlfriends poses, I’m once again, briefly, part
of my ex lover’s life. I then imagine how it would be to be her.
« I would also like to be, A work on jealousy » is a book with
47 photo collages.

Kristoffer AXÉN
“Events in Nature”
SWEDEN
Born in 1984 in Sweden, lives and works in Stockholm
(Sweden).
SELECTION OF THE JURY
Kristoffer Axén’s pictures - both the staged and the document
- are bring through a detailed post-production process where a
tonality of thick shadows and selected highlights interweaves
with an almost monochromatic color-palette leaning towards
the blue.
Furthermore certain objects and at times, complete
backgrounds are removed or rearranged to create a space
where figures (made anonymous) float in a world extracted
from any specifics.
Instead a mood of hushed apprehension is depicted and
investigated, where the tension of the unknown becomes the
main character.

Born in 1976 in France, lives and works in Bretagne (France).
The « CESAR » series started in 2013. It is the artistic followup to a photographic report about the obstetrician’s job in
operating theaters.
« CESAR » is about children portraits. They were all born
through caesarean section and are all only a few seconds old.
They all have survived.
These pictures are for me the first representation of a new
human being, unique and primitive.

“Apian”
SWITZERLAND
Born in 1988 in Switzerland, lives and works in Bevaix
(Switzerland).
SELECTION OF THE JURY
« Apian » explores the link between bees, architecture and
science-fiction. The artist’s interest in bees comes from his
grand-father who was himself a beekeeper. Aladin Borioli

He also draws his inspiration from the essay The beehive

influence of bees on our architecture is analyzed. « Apian »
mixes hybrid constructions – between traditional beehive and
concrete bricks – with architectures pictures reduced to the

Petros EFSTATHIADIS
“Prison”
GEECE
Born in 1980 in Greece, lives and works in Argos (Greece).
SELECTION OF THE JURY
Petros Efstathiadis creates sculptures and decors from
a varied array of materials he finds. Once documented
and photographed, the sculptures are dismantled and its
components are returned to their everyday use. The only
thing that remains is the photograph : images which, once
juxtaposed, recompose a fantastical and poetic memory
of a place in turmoil. His sculptures are born from what
the landscape contains, the entire landscape expresses
destitution.
This manner of recycling, of « making do » with what his
immediate surroundings provide, is the foundation of his
work.
It’s an improvised prison which unfolds narratives of a place
stricken by poverty and repression.

“Fanding landscapes”
FRANCE
Born in 1985, lives and works in Paris (France).
The aim of the series is to make visible the invasion of the
feelings and fantasies of the traveler in landscapes. On pictures
printed on parchment paper, an embossed form lets floats
ghost-like shapes, which are abstract or figurative. Thus, in
the intimate picture of an unmade bed appears an unfinished
sentence borrowed from G. Casanova : « You will forget too.
». These pictures, where several journeys can be placed on
top of each other, question the boundaries of photography
to make the « portrayal » a troubled , masked and clouded
space … Somewhere between desire and regret, hope and
memory.

“Le Philosophe”
FRANCE
Corentin Fohlen is born in 1981 and Jérôme von Zilw in

SELECTION OF THE JURY
As an expression of absurdity in an absurd world, an
outburst of freedom in narrow landscape, the pictures of The
Philosopher are the result of improvised events, born out of
the search – at the whim of improvised journeys – of places
favorable to disruption, to reinvention.
The settings are those of the institutional planning. Confined
in their useful role, they become inhuman. Epectase brings
back the body to it, fitted with a bizarre sensuality, both Old
France style and futuristic. Between dada poetry and punk
controversy, the body which is staged here wants to wake
up life.

“Colosses”
FRANCE
Born in 1974 in France, lives and works in Paris (France).
SELECTION OF THE JURY
As a work of art which is often idealized, an ideological
political or religious representation, the statue gives strength
and eternity to the depicted subject. Erected so as to maintain
the memory of a person or an action within a given culture,
it spans centuries. The « Colossus » series is a study of the
landscapes in which the monumental commemorative statues
fall within. If excessiveness seduces and fascinates, the
artist has first been intrigued by this human need of giant
declarations. Then he questioned the relationship with space
that such « works » could have. He chose to take pictures of
these giants outside their formal layouts, thus emphasizing a
more distanced look which enables to focus on the landscape
while placing the monument again in a more contemporary
temporality.

“Communal Dream”
BELGIUM
Born in 1988 in Belgium, lives and works in Brussels (Belgium).
SELECTION OF THE JURY
The misses live an affordable dream ; with a feverish
performance and a few descaled smile, they already think
they’re there. In front of many excited eyes, they bend their
bodies according to an improvised choreographer. They give
their hair, their flesh, their nails, their naivety to a poorly
overdressed and tipsy crowd.
Their attempt is beautiful; during a poor performance copied
on the parade of the national misses, they dream, they think
of themselves as the epitome of elegance. Carried away by
this communal dream they shape their figures and turn men
on. At the end of the night, the communal dream turns into a
heart-breaking dream, a hurtful disillusion: the bulging eyes
turn away, the mouths are now salivating for another one.

Museums where some rooms mimic the war reality. Or plastic
replicas of land mines - souvenirs. Or people, whole nations,

SELECTION OF THE JURY
Kodak city is a company-city, a city marked by its industrial
history. Indeed, it’s in Rochester that George Eastman
created Kodak in 1892, the company that was to revolutionize
photography in the 20th century. 120 years later, Kodak
has filed for bankruptcy because it missed the numerical
revolution. With this photographical investigation, Catherine
Leutenegger leads to these places full of history which are
about to disappear. She looks at the discolored face of the
city and at people who lost their illusions. Bright and polished,
with an aesthetics close to the advertising photography of the
70’s, everything seems to have survived inside the production
places of Kodak ; everything seems unchanged, intact in

Born in 1982 in Bulgaria, lives and works in Sofia (Bulgaria).
SELECTION OF THE JURY
In June 2014, the Black Sea town of Varna, Bulgaria, was
hit by heavy rains. The suburb of Asparuhovo was swamped
by a three meters high flood destroying everything in its
path and killing 13 people. According to the authorities, the
disaster was due to an illegal waste site and unmaintained
drains which allowed a large amount of water to collect and
subsequently sweep away the illegally built houses. However,
the residents believe that the wave was not caused by the
torrential rain but by a breakage of the nearby military base’s
reservoir. Rumors of divine retribution, UFO interference and
even a HAARP (American military program) attack have also
spread. Right after the flood Nikola Mihov spent three days in
Asparuhovo documenting the interiors of some of the most
damaged houses in the Roma neighborhood, as well as the
stories of their inhabitants.

a witch. I spent a lot of time around the house of the seven
ladies, chatting, trying to imagine what it was like before me,
listening. I started by doing some portraits of people. I found
them fascinating because, having always lived there, they
are rooted to this land just like trees. I decided to document
the evolution of this land. This series gives an account of
a persistent return to the same place, so as to scrutinize
its evolution (deactivation of agricultural practices, gradual
transformation of the land, aging of the population...). Just
like in legends, maybe because of this place’s magical and
appalling features, this cyclical experience turned up into
becoming my greatest wound. This place was a place of
affections. After all, I was also born there too !

SWITZERLAND

An individual is defined by his identity. In some countries,
however, one’s freedom of choosing its own identity is

other choices than fleeing. In Denizli, a small town in Turkey,
hundreds of Iranian gay refugees are in transit: they put their
lives on hold, hoping to reach one day, a host country where
they can freely live their sexualities. This work questions
the fragile identity and gender concepts. In this context of
uncertainty, this work gives back to these people the identity

Flower is the meeting of an antinomy by shape and inspiration
that tends to create a coherent and aesthetically pleasing

but meat flower; a whole carried by a meticulous work of
post-production that gives the pictures the feel of a drawing
or a painting. The Ulysse and Darcoe duo also give the subject
they chose a universal reach that allows a wider reading of
the picture: a portrayal of nature or the symbolism of organs

This work is a series of six pictures. Its starting point is
a daily reality, an exposed sleep, that of the homeless.
This question of rest in a hostile environment affected me
deeply as soon as I arrived in Paris. It is both an intimate
and public work, which results from a reflection, that of the
photographic action as a recorder of common realities.
By creating a shifting from the street to the gallery, my wish
was to create a friction zone between the crossed realities
that are these two exhibition spaces. To question the viewer
about what he sees on a daily basis but as well to commit
one’s body, bound to slowly decay in the current pieces.
That’s how I like to position my work, like a dialogue about
the status of the image and of the photographic action, by
playing with notions of scale and layout.

In our collective psyche, the nuclear age corresponds to the

However, since 1945, there have been more than 2000
nuclear explosions in the world. Since the end of World War
Two, the nuclear powers have methodically bombed their own
territories. Self-mutilation in the name of self-defense.
This body of work has as a starting point some little known
anecdotes about nuclear testing programs. By mixing archive
pictures, satellite images, pack shots and photographical road
trips, the photographer contextualizes a story, between the
hair-rising investigation and the absurd farce.
All that is documented here is true but seems to be a poor

It’s a work of integration, of replacement, that constitutes a

demise in our fully digitized age. By referring to the external
visual similarities of philosophers, a reference to the historical
