Paris Photo 2025: Carlos Idun-Tawiah: "I’ll Be Here to Remind You"

Grand Palais, Paris, 12 - 16 November 2025 
Overview
Booth C07

We are thrilled to announce our participation in Paris Photo 2025 at the Grand Palais (November 13-16), where we will present "I'll Be Here to Remind You"—a solo exhibition by acclaimed Ghanaian artist Carlos Idun-Tawiah.

 

As his exclusive worldwide representative, we proudly introduce his work to the world's premier photography fair for the first time.

 

This historic moment coincides with Idun-Tawiah's receipt of the prestigious Deloitte Photo Grant 2025, which will culminate in a solo exhibition at Triennale Milano opening November 27. Together, these presentations create an extraordinary week-long celebration spanning two European capitals.

 

Working from Accra, Idun-Tawiah masterfully transforms African photographic archives into compelling contemporary narratives that capture the quiet power of everyday life. His intimate portraits explore generational relationships, youth culture, and the enduring bonds of friendship and faith. The artist's award-winning series "Hero, Father, Friend" was born from profound personal loss—when his father died at eighteen, the scarcity of photographs documenting their relationship sparked a deeply moving reconstruction of memory through both real and imagined scenes.

 

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

 

In collaboration with Galleria Rossella Colombari, we have created an immersive dialogue between contemporary African photography and Italian mid-century modernism. Three carefully selected furniture pieces will transform the space into an intimate environment where photographic storytelling seamlessly meets Italian design craftsmanship—exemplifying how contemporary galleries actively forge meaningful cultural conversations.

 

This exceptional timing offers visitors a unique cultural journey: experience Idun-Tawiah's powerful vision first at Paris Photo, then continue the discovery at the prestigious Triennale Milano just days later.

 

Join us for this remarkable celebration of contemporary African photography at the world's most distinguished photography fair.
