Published on the occasion of the Rencontres d’Arles festival, “Le Regard captif” provides an in-depth exploration of the prestigious Ordóñez-Falcón collection, one of Europe’s most significant private photography collections. Curated by Sam Stourdzé, the book examines the evolution of the photographic medium through a diverse range of works spanning the 20th century. It features masterpieces that highlight the tension between the “captured gaze” of the photographer and the subjective experience of the viewer, showcasing how photography serves as both a historical record and a deeply personal artistic expression.
