Louise Wagner
Photographer
Born and raised in Basel, Switzerland, Louise moved to Paris, France, about 4 years ago. Although images have always played a big role in her life, it is in Paris, this photogenic and inspiring city, that she starts to develop her photographical activity. Her pictures are generally not taken in a specific aim, but with the desire and the need to capture atmospheres, actions, moods – to capture the beauty of life. Louise is a dreamer, a globetrotter, an admirer of human beings and the phenomenon which we call earth. And that’s where she gets her main inspiration from – her dreams, her walks, her journeys – the world she is living in.

Ryuichi SakamotoCOMPOSER / MUSICIAN
If Ryuichi Sakamoto had been born in 16th century Italy, we’d know what to call him: a Renaissance Man. But since he was born in Japan in the mid-20th century, we have to string together words like composer, musician, producer, actor, and environmental activist. (more…)
