Aflevering #218 Eng - Obsession In Paris – What I Learned At The World’S Biggest Photography Fair

In this episode, I’m taking you with me to Paris — to Paris Photo, the largest photography fair in the world. Eighty thousand visitors, hundreds of galleries from every corner of the globe, and a visual overload that can make even the most seasoned artist dizzy. From the stunning chaos of the Grand Palais to quiet reflections at the Gerhard Richter exhibition, I share what moved me, inspired me, and challenged me during these intense days. You’ll hear about new discoveries, timeless masters, and one word that kept returning like a mantra: obsession. Because behind every great artist — whether it’s Richter, Ebrahim Alipoor, Diana Markosian, or a student showing at Paris Photo for the first time — there’s an obsession that keeps them going. A devotion that pushes them through discomfort and doubt, toward truth and transformation. Celebrate with me!
