TITLE: The Blur Magicians

The dancers of the Lyon Opera House perform fully during the rehearsal of the Trisha Brown program. An impressive moment where the bodies in motion seem to blend together and become one.

AUTHOR: Antoine Merlet (France)

As a freelance photojournalist, I work for the national and international press. Aged 35, I've been taking photographs since the age of 18. After giving sports lessons for five years following my studies, I gradually moved towards more or less long-term photographic reporting. My work is increasingly focused on social struggles. I exhibited at the Rencontres internationales de la photographie d'Arles in 2017 and recently at the Visa Pour l'image festival as part of the screenings. I also work for editorial departments such as M Le Monde, Télérama, Le Figaro, Libération, La Croix, Géo, Bild, etc. As part of the 2020 political photography competition, one of my photos was exhibited at the Vu gallery in Paris.

Since September 2022, I have been a member of the Europe desk at The New York Times and have joined the ZEPPELIN agency.
