THE CYAN BOAT MAKE A STREET TRIP: Exhibition at l'Aiguillage aux Frigos in Paris

THE CYAN BOAT MAKE A STREET TRIP: a photographic exhibition by photographer Stéphane Pia at l'Aiguillage aux Frigos in Paris. Join us for a cocktail party on Saturday, October 12, starting at 7 p.m.! Free admission.

Stéphane Pia began his journey into photography in 1984, embarking on a path that is as fascinating as it is demanding. With a doctorate in mathematics, he taught himself the art of photography with a Nikon F given to him by his mother, herself a set photographer.

Although he has been exploring street photography since 1985, he refuses to confine himself to it, preferring to explore a wider range of styles.
His art is not limited to simply capturing the moment.

For over 15 years, Stéphane Pia has also been practicing Zen and, more recently, Japanese painting (Sumi-e), two disciplines that have had a profound influence on his photographic vision.

Each of his photographic walks becomes a meditation in motion, where breathing, posture and attention merge in a subtle dance with his environment, creating a symbiosis between his body and thecamera.

In this state of full awareness, his intuition takes over, capturing the precise moment when the moment freezes.
His approach is guided by a perpetual quest for learning. Every day is a new lesson, a field of exploration where he strives never to repeat himself, never to follow fashions.
For him, photography is a living discipline, similar to mastering a musical instrument, where daily practice nourishes the soul as much as the eye.

Come and join us for the final viewing on Saturday, October 12 from 7pm! Free admission.

Les Frigos, with its water tower, is a legendary site in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

L'Aiguillageis an emblematic venue on the Paris cultural scene, founded in 1995 by Corinne Bertelot, photographer and resident artist at Les Frigos, a famous creative and production site in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

Transforming her photo studio into an exhibition space dedicated to the visual arts and to artistic and cultural events, she joined forces with her sister Isabel, a visual artist and artistic co-director, to bring the Aiguillage Association to life.

Over the past three decades, l'Aiguillage has presented over 1,000 artists through eclectic exhibitions that aim to reach a wide audience while raising societal issues.

The association stands out for its openness to creators from all horizons, while showcasing the talents of the Frigos through solo and group exhibitions.

Far from being a simple exhibition space, L'Aiguillage also positions itself as a committed player, regularly collaborating with social and humanitarian associations such as Médecins Sans Frontières, Observatoire International des Prisons, Greenpeace, Act Up and Refugee Food, to raise awareness of important causes.
