This year, Fisheye Gallery is pleased to reopen the doors of its Arlesian space from July 7 to October 5, 2025, with a group exhibition bringing together four emerging artists: Eloïse Labarbe-Lafon , Anna Muller , Rose Mihman and Nyo Jinyong Lian . Their works explore sensitive and intimate, sometimes disturbing, territories through multiple practices that combine photography, painting, collage, staging and image manipulation. 
Each develops a unique approach, where memory, imagination, the subconscious, and fiction become creative materials. In doing so, they contribute to redefining the contours of contemporary photographic surrealism, which seizes on illusion to better question, even destabilize, our relationship with reality. 
"It's a way of shifting the reference points, of bringing something else into the frame. The images construct a parallel, charged world, where reality is slippery, recomposed. The body is often off-center, dissociated from its environment, as if caught in tension." — Eloïse Labarbe-Lafon
In four voices, they create a collective dream at the crossroads of the realm of the intimate and (re)invented worlds, where visual emotion dialogues with the unconscious. Faced with their works, we cross the boundary that unfolds between what we see and what we feel. 
"The dream here is not an escape, but a strategy. It allows me to approach the absurdities of contemporary life with a discreet humor, a willful strangeness." — Nyo Jinyong Lian.
An almost childlike process, inspiration drawn from fairy tales, self-portraits and staging as rituals of exploration, so many approaches carried by dreams, fables or fantasy converse in our Arlesian setting. 
At the same time, an exhibition of anonymous surrealist photographs, presented in collaboration with the fringe fund, as well as a screening of a selection of photographic films, Focus, by Fisheye, extends the dialogue between past and contemporary visions.
