Luxembourg photographers Pasha Rafiy and Laurianne Bixhain are displaying their work at the photo festival in Arles, France.
The "Lët’z Arles" association promotes Luxembourg photographers and helped Rafiy and Bixhain to take past in the festival exhibitions in Arles. They were chosen by a jury from a number of competitors to represent Luxembourg during the festival.
Lët'z Arles was founded around a year ago, and in 2017, they sent 25 photographers from Luxembourg to the festival. This year, they decided to focus their attention on two artists. Rafiy is exhibiting his works titled "Bad News" while Bixhain shows off her talent through the collection "On The Other End".

Rafiy's collection of photographs were mostly taken during the last three years during this travels.
Bixhain was given the opportunity to take part in the exhibition with the heap of the project "stART-up Studio", a programme that gives young artists under 36 years of age an international platform.
Like last year, the Luxembourgers are exhibiting their work in the Chapelle de la Charité in Arles. They were asked to tailor their proposals to the architecture in which it is displayed.
The Rencontres de la Photographie festival in Arles will be open until 23 September.
