We are delighted to share that we will be participating in Paris Photo 2025 at the Grand Palais (November 13–16) with "I’ll Be Here to Remind You"—a solo exhibition by acclaimed Ghanaian artist Carlos Idun-Tawiah.

 

This exhibition marks the Paris Photo debut of 28-year-old Idun-Tawiah, a rising and defining voice in contemporary African photography.

 

Galería Alta, his exclusive worldwide representative, proudly introduces his work to the world’s premier photography fair, coinciding with his receipt of the prestigious Deloitte Photo Grant.

 

Working from Accra, Carlos Idun-Tawiah transforms photographic archives into compelling contemporary stories that reveal the quiet power of everyday life. His poignant photographs explore universal themes of family, joy, faith, and youth—blurring the lines between fiction and non-fiction, past and present, memory and imagination. Throughout his practice, he honours the complexity of African life and the Black experience, centering its culture and beauty.

 

A comprehensive publication will accompany the exhibition, featuring insightful contributions from Nathalie Herschdorfer, the distinguished Director of the Photo Elysée museum, and Bill Shapiro, former Editor-in-Chief of LIFE magazine. The publication will be elegantly designed by RM.

 

In partnership with Milan-based Galleria Rossella Colombari, the exhibition creates an immersive dialogue between contemporary African photography and Italian mid-century modernism. Three curated furniture pieces shape the space into an intimate environment where photographic storytelling merges seamlessly with Italian design, exemplifying meaningful cultural exchange.

 

This distinctive presentation guides visitors through a journey across three prestigious venues: beginning at Paris Photo, the world’s most important photography fair; continuing at Galería Alta headquarters in Andorra; and concluding at Triennale Milano, showcasing Idun-Tawiah’s acclaimed work across the full spectrum of Fair, Gallery, and Museum.
