Paris At Night

Trois allumettes une à une allumées dans la nuit
La première pour voir ton visage tout entier
La seconde pour voir tes yeux
La dernière pour voir ta bouche
Et l’obscurité tout entière pour me rappeler tout cela
En te serrant dans mes bras.

Three matches one by one struck in the night

The first to see the whole of your face
The second to see your eyes
The last to see your mouth
And the complete and utter darkness to remember them all
While holding you in my arms.

Jacques Prevert (1900-1977)

ABOUT THE ARTIST / ORGANISER

Boogie Woogie Photography is a company founded by Vanessa Franklin and Xavier Mahé in Hong Kong in 2016 to promote photography in Asia. The gallery is named after Piet Mondrian’s painting Broadway Boogie Woogie (1942-43), inspired by the blues dance music of which he was so fond.

Boogie Woogie Photography was launched in response to the growing interest in artistic photographic prints in Asia. Collectors, galleries, and museums are now increasingly promoting photographic works and the artists who produce them. Boogie Woogie Photography’s mission is to act as a platform for galleries, collectors, companies, and photographers aiming to develop photography projects in Hong Kong and Asia.

Boogie Woogie Photography represents photographers, organises exhibitions as curators or producers and advises collectors.

Since 2016, the leading Asian antique and art fair Fine Art Asia dedicates an exhibition space to Photography and brings together a selection of Hong Kong and overseas galleries selected by Boogie Woogie Photography.
