From 14 to 19 October 2025, LM STUDIO (Hyères) presents “Les Intimes” by photographer and visual artist Cendrine Genin: a series in which light, glass, mirror, and Corten steel give tangible form to the vibration of emotion.
Why this event matters ?
Programmed in in echoes with the 40th International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Accessories – Hyères (16–19 Oct.), the exhibition offers an intimate counterpoint to the festival’s tempo: a six-day experience designed more to look “at the brink of fractures” than to consume images.
Intimacy as a quest
For Cendrine Genin, intimacy is not withdrawal but a quest: to grasp “a thread of light, a material, a meeting of colors” in order to approach the gesture, between the visible and the invisible. The series “Les Intimes” unfolds in variations—thresholds where emotion takes shape without imposing itself.
Materials & processes: when the image becomes surface
The approach is rooted in mixed techniques: photography, engraving, prints, glass and mirror, combined with raw materials (iron, Corten steel). These supports play with depth, reflection, and porosity—circulating the gaze between presence and withdrawal, and giving photography an active materiality.
About the artist
Cendrine Genin is an author-photographer with a background in philosophy, trained at the Arles school and at Image Ouverte (Clarensac). Her practice explores the “fault lines of the living,” offering the viewer a space of encounter—“far enough to speak, close enough to touch.”
LM STUDIO, a jewel box in the heart of Hyères
