The two photographers aficionados offer, until June 15, in the Hemingway bar and in the brasserie of the hotel eighteen shots each in black and white.
Double exhibition of bullfighting photos on the occasion of the Nîmes feria and until June 15 at the Imperator hotel. It is signed Christine Nuel and Christophe Airaud.
Nîmes, the first named has aficion in the genes. When she’s not in her workshop at the Iron Cross, she’s in the callejons of the southeastern arenas mainly. Since 2009, she has been the eyes of bullfighting sites and communities, including the City of Nîmes. It was at the Royal Hotel that she had shown her work for the first time.
Originally from the south-west, Christophe Airaud, after having been a photographer, is a journalist at France TV in Paris. It was at the age of 20 that he followed his friends to bullfights. He regularly exhibits on various themes.
Without consulting each other, they each chose eighteen photos
Without consulting one and the other exhibit, at the brasserie of the hotel for Christine Nuel, at the Hemingway bar for Christophe Airaud, eighteen black and white photos each.
Portraits that say everything about the bullfighter’s concentration on the patio or just before the paseo, his arrival in the corridors of the arenas of Nîmes, the solemn moment of dressing: Christine Nuel plunges into intimacy and also captures slices of life in the stands.
With the exception of an image of Juan Bautista on the track, Christophe Airaud, for his part, dwells on the last five minutes before taking office, those moments from which, dressed in gold or silver , these men enter a world that belongs only to them.
