Made possible thanks to the age of the Internet and our shared loved for film photography, our first real-life encounter with Ikusan will remain an amazingly good memory to us. There was a newly made father entertaining us and the whole bar, helped by a constant flow of champagne and old friends, and girls crying tears of emotions... And amidst all the excitement was the mindful and friendly participation of Ikusan.<br /> A state of mind he offers us once again to enjoy here, by bringing us around his city usually described as anything but peaceful. Yet, Ikusan lovingly chased rips in reality, atmospheres and alternative points of view in a true "Bop Spirit" fashion. Take some time to have your sight shaken by his impressive collection of moody diptychs, made a shooting time with a beloved half-frame camera.<br /> Needless to say that, at BOP, we are very proud of hosting this work! text/html 2009-12-01T21:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/expo.php?expo=46&photographer=11 It is very seldom that we see in BOP an exhibition about intimacy and home.<br /> Being all adventurers and all (yes!), it is easier for the Indy in us to get some distance and show the world than to look very close-by and deal with deeply personal feelings... Seb took the leap and explored with care and love the arrival of Little Self inside his(their) life(s). I have to admit that I usually find such series dead boring and am rarely appealed by the cuteness (why not kittens next?). However, this time the angle taken, the quality of the pictures and the complicity that you can sense floating around captivated me. Take some time to enjoy these emotional moments and read the nice comments...<br /> <br /> So congratulation to Seb for this very nice work on a very slippery subject. But, hey man, be careful, no kittens next, ok ? text/html 2009-11-18T21:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/http://www.flickr.com/photos/hern42/4071941190/in/photostream/ Hern is back again ! If you follow BOP news, you already noticed that he did the cover of a recently published book 'Total Kheops'. There has been a special event in Copenhagen this week to introduce the book as well as to show some of the pictures taken in Marseille to prepare the cover. See the link bellow to go to Løve's bogcafé and check out Hern's work. text/html 2009-09-01T20:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/expo.php?expo=72&photographer=16 BOP as the pleasure to welcome Katya Knyazeva (aka avezink) as our new guest. In her exhibition 'Shanghai Expired', Katya is developing a very unique view of Shanghai.<br> At BOP, we loved her work at the first sight. She has everything we are chasing after: her own distinct photographic world, projects and way of working... She acknowledge the media with a true sense of purpose. As a synthesis, with her own words, Katya is "documenting the city’s ‘residue’ using archaic tools and film media that is also dying gracefully".<br> There is indeed a lot of grace in these beautiful pictures... text/html 2009-07-11T20:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/news.php BOP team has the pleasure to announce a special event for <a href='http://www.bop-photolab.net/members.php?who=2'>Hern42</a> and a first for us.<br> The book of Jean-Claude Izzo, <u>Total Kheops</u>, translated from french to danish by Jesper Tang will be soon to published by Labyrint. A great photography from Hern42 is illustrating the cover, he also produced the layout and associated website.

This exclusive work, Nipponikong shown in our guest section, is a stream of dense feelings, the one you never forget, the one stuck in your mind after you’ve seen for the first time in one of these never ending Asian cities, Above the technical coherency of this exhibition, all dressed in double exposure and glass reflections Brian dives where words and sentences have never been. Brian plays with the similarities of Tokyo and Hong Kong, by doubling prints across borders he emphasizes the overloaded city landscapes, he is sewing a net of short cuts in this Asian maze... The first time I watched the extracts of this exhibition, my mind, my Asian history, my wet and hot memories of Chinese nights, all these have been moved through a 2001 Odyssey kind of continuum of time space and I saw myself in his self portraits.<br /> <br /> We are definitely proud of publishing this unique work. The exhibition will stay online until September the 15th. text/html 2009-05-10T20:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/expo.php?expo=68&photographer=2 "A first of May in København... One camera, one film, one day... many beers and one sausage!"<br> With this short sentence Hern42 introduces all the elements of his last exhibition.<br> With 16 photos he tells us the story of a simple day in the northen Europe, his story is very refreshing, full of smiles and flashes of the warm memories. It's a perfect illustration of how human being can invent theories and organization simply in order to end around a beer and sausages. <br>As a personal comment I would add that the satanic dude is my favourite and that I can't beleive Hern42 used only one film ! text/html 2009-05-06T20:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/expo.php?expo=69&photographer=13 Manny Santiago and Hern42 met in Tokyo and did many mischiefs together. It was just a matter of time that Manny would actually be invited on BOP. Here he is, with a wonderful selection of city landscapes... The variety of forms enhance the very coherent content of that exhibition.<br /> Needless to say we are fans...<br /> Thanks Manny for doing this with us! text/html 2009-02-14T21:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/expo.php?expo=55&photographer=12 A brand new exhibition from YuB, this time from Madagascar trying to make sense of the (in)famous cock-fights!<br /> Go have a look at the roosters and their fans. text/html 2009-02-08T21:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/news.php Hern42 is currently having an exhibition in the "real world", on real walls, with real people (no, maybe not...).<br /> The thing is happening from the 7th to the 22nd of February 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
