The Gopher Illustrated

"Paris-born photographer Estelle Hanania could easily be a product of Diane Arbus' dreams. Unmoved by the everyday objects that seems to have a place in our collective sensitivities, Estelle creates narrative series focused on subjects that seems to come from another dimension, things which are challenging to categorize. that said, she is wary of self-portraiture, even choosing to forgo a mirror image, which is all too available - Estelle has a twin sister named Marion. She prefers to find herself in the images she shoots, and to leave a trace on her collaborators, herself a living example of the work she produces."

Hear The Bells Angels #2


The Bells Angels n°2 est une édition limitée à 50 exemplaires, réalisé en
sérigraphie, photocopies, et accompagné d’un CD audio pour lequel tous les contributeurs font une proposition sonore.
Une quinzaine d’artistes participent au projet, ce numéro qui porte sur la musique, le son présente une sélection d’artistes très hétéroclite, autant plasticiens que musiciens, assumant une volonté délibérée de confronter plusieurs univers, de créer des collisions, des ponts entre différents genres musicaux ainsi que de pratiques plastiques.

jesse sykes +vice




"La première fois que j’ai entendu la voix de Jesse Sykes, j’ai cru que c’était celle d’un vieil homme, et j’ai adoré ça. Jesse est une chanteuse country qui habite Seattle, elle est en train d’enregistrer son cinquième album. Un jour, alors que je me promenais sur son Myspace, je suis tombée sur un dossier un peu étrange intitulé « Vieux documents »....."

Lapsus #4 vs Demoniac Babble





Everyone loves Hair

From Juxtapoz website:

"Estelle Hanania has always taken crazy photos and her newer works explore hair, even bringing back into fashion the ancient rituals combined with a touch of science fiction eighties styles.

Her work is bizarre at times, but endlessly fun, unique, and diverse. Her foreign portraits of Yeti-like creatures and Japanese masks inform her latest series, Myriorama. Her images are emotional but also open to viewer interpretation. Is Estelle directing viewers to ponder specific traditions and cultural phenomena, or is she simply staging bizarre photoshoots? Perhaps a bit of both."

Everybody loves hairy


I came across this article about my show, thanks!

"L'heure est à l'ambiance tribale 2.0. On s'arrache le dvd d'Avatar pour tenter d'apprivoiser les Na'vi, on envisage de s'offrir l'étagère Cabana des frères Campana(Edra), et voilà que l'on danse sur le dernier Kelis, bouquet plumes sur la tête et pulsions Eurodance aux pieds. 2010 remet les rituels païens au goût du jour avec une savante touche de science fiction eighties. On aime, sans complexes.

Complexe pourrait être d'ailleurs l'exposition d'Estelle Hanania à la Fat Galerie. On pourrait même pensé l'artiste étrangère avec ses portraits de figures yéti-esques pris sur le vif et ses masques japonais dansant nonchalamment entre ombre et lumière. Le titre de l'exposition, Myriorama, défie la complexité qu'elle sous entend. Populaire au XIXe siècle, le myriorama était un jeu pour enfant où, combinées de façon aléatoires, des cartes peintes formaient un paysage toujours différent. En s'en inspirant, l'artiste française a cassé les codes de la traditionnelle série de photographies. Parking Lot Hydra (des groupes d'hommes bulgares costumés pour des rituels) et Dondoro (photographies réalisées avec le marionnettiste japonais Hoichi Okamoto), les deux sujets de l'exposition, se mélangeant, s'enchevêtrent de manière très fluide. Ensemble elle étonnent, intriguent, excitent, effrayent... révélant des sentiments partagés brassant les notions d'identité et d'appartenance à la nature. Un propos brut et passionant, servi par d'exceptionnels tirages argentiques. Entre vieilles traditions et super modernité, héritage culturel et avant-garde, on dresserait volontiers un totem à Estelle Hanania, notre cheftaine favorite de la photographie contemporaine."

"(...)Reporter of an immemorial though unforgettable time, Estelle Hanania collects symbols in a zone of secrets where intimacy of the opposites reveals itself and, thus, offers us a precious testimony of the deep unity between our instinct for survival and our need for beauty." from Lara Sarcevic "The Original Game"

Tinker street * in Dossier


"Tinker St people are some of my favorite people. Represented by Jesse Miller, Tinker St is a collective of photographers, and one illustrator; a gathering of mutual minds. Friends who take photos, who put pen to paper. Despite the differences in style, form, and nationality Nicholas Haggard, Ye Rin Mok, Thobias Faldt, Estelle Hanania, Peter Sutherland, Ben Pier, and Matty Sidle all share the same singular desire to capture the beautiful, the strange, and the quiet moments around them. With numerous independent and group projects under their belts, and with yet more to come including editorials, books, a series of artist edition shirts and a planned summer group show, the artists represented by Tinker St are frequently up to something somewhere. A camera in a bag, a pen in the pocket."

Smoke Bath


Excited to be part of SMOKE BATH online show and book curated by Peter Sutherland. check the website, more images and a video will be shown on the online gallery soon.

  1. "For the last few years I’ve been thinking of art outside of the context of galleries, sales and museums. I’ve wondered about the power of art and its potential to do something positive. At it’s core, this project is a test, and I hope the result will be an (online) exhibition that people all over the world can enjoy while raising some money for a very good cause in the process. I hope the images collected here inspire people to think about the beauty of the wilderness, and perhaps inspire them to donate to freshair.org. Visiting natural and wilderness areas can be a very peaceful and mind-expanding experience. Hopefully this project helps kids to discover the outdoors. Thanks to all of the artists who contributed to Smoke Bath!"
