“My way of life, my very being is based on images capable of engraving themselves indelibly in our inner soul’s eye.”
Louis Stettner
July 7 – October 5, 2025
The Hulett Collection
Running concurrently with The World of Louis Stettner at Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles, Across Two Worldsat The Hulett Collection offers an intimate look at Louis Stettner’s lifelong exploration of life on both sides of the Atlantic.
Drawing from his time in New York and Paris, this special exhibition brings together photographs that capture the quiet poetry of everyday life — moments of human connection, resilience, and grace, seen through Stettner’s empathetic and unwavering eye. Whether documenting the bustling streets of Manhattan or the contemplative cafés of Paris, Stettner’s work transcends geography to reveal a universal, deeply human experience.
Across Two Worlds reflects Stettner’s rare ability to merge the candid energy of American street photography with the lyrical sensitivity of the French humanist tradition. These works, spanning decades and geographies, celebrate photography’s power to find beauty and meaning in the ordinary.
The exhibition coincides with the release of a new Photo Poche and Photo File monographs dedicated to Stettner’s work, as well as the major retrospective now on view in Arles — together offering a season of renewed appreciation for one of photography’s most soulful and enduring voices.
