Benjamin Mouly's First Major Exhibition at Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire

exhibition · 2026-04-24

Benjamin Mouly, a graduate of École nationale supérieure de la photographie d'Arles and HEAD Genève born in 1987, unveils his inaugural major exhibition titled 'De concert' at Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire in Paris. The showcased photographs, primarily from 2012, delve into themes of intimacy and spontaneity, combining both imperfect and staged images. Mouly investigates the interaction between bodies and their environments, focusing on their fragmented and anonymous qualities. The exhibition contrasts complete images with those that are disjointed from their frames. In 2013, he started incorporating frames to emphasize the images' porous characteristics. The pale yellow walls serve as an 'incrustation surface' linking the visuals. Additionally, a video is included. On the ground floor, Claudia Huidobro, born in 1963, displays 'Tout contre' (2008–14), which features minimalistic representations of violence.
