FOXBorn in 1935British photographer, born in Belgium in 1935Co-founder of the Sygma agency, he was then in Paris, editor-in-chief of the famous Magnum Agency for 30 years, and the friend of many photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, René Burri, or Sébastiao SalgadoHis own work as a photographer has long remained secret, he really wanted to separate his work from his "hobby", but since 1973 he had been passionate aboutboxing universe, and spent his nights or holidays, cameras slung over the edge of the rings, or in the wings and locker roomsHis approach to boxing circles is truly original, genuine socio-documentary survey in the great tradition of photojournalismTHE anonymous He was much more interested in the Stars , the "show-biz" and the glitter, what fascinated him was to capture a certain truth, the "magic moment", the tension before the fight, the relaxation in the locker room, rituals and preparations (the importance of hands...), the side dishes... The first personal exhibition which revealed him to the public (and often also to his close friends), took place at the Paris Photographic Space in May 1986and was called “Boxing on the Skin” (the original edition of the catalogue of this exhibition can be found on sale in my shop) His work over several years alongside Joël Bonnetaz, unknown to the general public but nevertheless at the time French champion and European superwelterweight challenger, of an undeniable emotional charge, will be at the heart of this first exhibition "The Ring is a stage on which a drama unfolds: on the edge of life and death, actors without dialogue wonder if, when the curtain falls, they will emerge unscathed..."
