Andreas Lumineau  Landscapes & Figures

Book launch and exhibition Eva Pritsky Presses x Aleï

Two books, two formats, one singular gaze: Landscapes & Figures marks the fourth publication by Eva Pritsky Presses — and its most spatially charged yet. A double-volume monograph by Swiss-French artist Andreas Lumineau, the project lives through a diptych structure: Figures, in portrait format, and Landscapes, in landscape. Each edition becomes a lens — both architectural and intimate — onto a photographic practice that collapses interiority and exterior space.

​

Shot between Paris and Zurich, Lumineau’s images trace the fleeting gestures of the everyday: construction sites at rest, anonymous bodies in motion, spaces not yet settled or already in transition. His visual language resists narrative linearity, opting instead for rhythm, fracture, and suspension. 

​

The project is co-published by Eva Pritsky Presses, a young editorial structure that approaches the book as both an object and a curatorial tool — committed to hybrid forms and slow publishing. The collaboration with Aleï Journal, the Paris-based publication founded by Mélodie Zagury and Daphné Mookherjee, builds on a shared interest in visual language, literary friction, and formats that blur the line between page and exhibition.

​

The accompanying show at Eva Pritsky Gallery aims to recompose the logics of the book in space — refracted, open, and deliberately unsettled. Installed in the gallery’s intimate setting on rue d’Eupatoria, in the layered geography of Belleville, the exhibition unfolds as a counter-architecture: images surface like quiet intrusions, leaning into the gaps, the silences, the rhythm of passing through.

​

The result is a set of open windows. A space that doesn’t seek to be read — but inhabited.
