Arles 2025: UPP champions bold, free and committed perspectives to shake up the world of photography
The Union of Professional Photographers (UPP) takes over the Cour des Podestats during Arles 2025 with a bold and vibrant program. From July 8 to 11, conferences, portfolio reviews and meetings will spotlight UPP’s mission: to defend photographers' rights and the diversity of perspectives. Featured photographer Sasha Mongin will embody the values of a photography that is both free and daring.
The Dying Man Who Wouldn’t Die
Artist Sasha Mongin
Winner of the 2024 Premi Fotografia Femenina, Sasha Mongin explores themes of grief and resilience through an intimate story about her father, a survivor of HIV. Her work blends archives, self-portraits, and mental imagery in a dreamlike aesthetic where color and blur spark the imagination. Inspired by Nan Goldin and Wong Kar-Wai, she blurs the line between reality and dreams.
« In my projects, I try to blur the boundaries between dream and reality to open up the imagination. » Sasha Mongin
