Water echoes
online exhibition
Water is everywhere, yet it never holds the same shape twice
Curated by Lao Ségur
36 analogue photographers from across the globe come together in this exhibition curated by Lao Ségur, responding to our 2026 open call Water Echoes, and sharing their view on water not simply as a subject, but as something that can transform the way we see.
"The works selected for this exhibition explore water not only as something to photograph, but something to think with. It can exist as landscape, texture, or gesture. It can distort, soften, fragment, or reveal."
— Lao Ségur
"Water moves, reflects, absorbs, and disappears. It can be vast like the sea, or barely visible: a trace on a window, a blurred reflection, a drop on the skin, a street after the rain, an intimate detail."
"Sometimes water is the subject, sometimes it alters the way we see."
"Beyond its physical presence, water carries meaning: memory, time, transformation, stillness, movement. It can suggest disappearance as much as presence, silence as much as intensity."
"Water can also be a medium: something you shoot through, something that transforms light and perception. A surface that mirrors or hides."
About the Curator:
Lao is a French film photographer exploring many subjects : from street scenes to nature. Through analog photography, she blends the quiet beauty of reality with the softness of dreams, creating images filled with silence and nostalgia. From urban nights to peaceful landscapes and still lifes, her work transforms everyday scenes into cinematic tableaux where melancholy becomes warmth and contemplation.
Alongside her personal work, Lao collaborates with brands, magazines, artists and musicians to create visual narratives shaped by her cinematic and poetic approach, blending her photographic universe with editorial, musical, and artistic projects.
