Loulan Beauty

Claudine Doury

Created in Central Asia between 2002 and 2005, Doury’s series speaks about her encounters with a great diversity of people and landscapes. Every one of the motifs has an immediacy defined by colours, textures, looks and gestures. What is actually happening remains vague, but is characterised by a magical atmosphere that is quite unique.

Camp Kiparisni, Artek, 1999

Claudine Doury

The Artek centre, situated on the southern shore of the Crimean peninsula, was originally established as a children's recovery camp in 1925. In the early sixties, the centre was expanded with an innovative architectural style – soon turning it into a prestige object of the Chruschtschow era. In her project Artek — A summer in Crimea, Claudine Doury shows the end of a historical era, as well as the conclusion of a particular stage of life: adolescence. The French photographer's series, created with a Leica M6 and the Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 Asph, is featured in the current issue of M Magazine.
