Hong Kong to Paris is a photography exhibition that celebrates the profound artistic journeys of two French photographers: Raymond Cauchetier and Rémi de Laquintane. Although nearly a century separates their births, both artists share a common thread – an insatiable spirit of adventure and a passion for storytelling through imagery that transcends borders.

Raymond Cauchetier’s photographic journey began in the rugged landscapes of Indochina, where his role in the press corps of the French Air Force ignited his lifelong fascination with capturing ephemeral moments. Returning to Paris, he found himself at the epicentre of the French New Wave, mingling with avant-garde filmmakers like Jean Luc Godard. His lens has traversed not only the enchanting sites of Cambodia and Europe, but also the sacred narratives woven into Romanesque sculpture. As a trailblazer of visual storytelling, Cauchetier's work has graced the pages of renowned publications such as Aperture and The New Yorker, solidifying his legacy as a master of his craft.

In stark contrast, Rémi de Laquintane emerges from a contemporary realm steeped in creative innovation. Armed with a degree of Philosophy from the illustrious Sorbonne, Rémi transitioned from his role as a visionary fashion creative director to a dedicated photographer, seeking deeper emotional resonance in his work. His photographs invite viewers into a meditative space where introspection reigns, capturing the essence of fleeting moments that often slip through our fingers.
