If Only These Walls Could Talk
Alon Zakaim Fine Art, London

2 — 24 November 2022

Now’s your chance to peek inside the legendary Hotel Nord-Pinus in Arles, which has over the years welcomed such celebrated names as Picasso, Van Gogh and Helmut Newton, who shot his iconic 1973 Vogue shoot with Charlotte Rampling in Suite 10. This room was also the place where celebrated bullfighters including Luis Miguel Dominguín greeted their adoring crowds from the balcony.

Zip over to Alon Zakaim on Cork Street, where you’ll find 27 black-and-white images shot in the hotel by London-based Iranian photographer Maryam Eisler. In this new series, photographed in between lockdowns in 2021, Eiseler continues her explorations into the ‘Sublime Feminine’ and the architecture of the female form.

You’ll see works showing Eisler’s muses feasting nonchalantly on oysters and smoking cigars whilst posing in front of magasins de vin. Also included are four works showing a matador being lured away from his arena by two women in sumptuous evening gowns.

Eisler’s muses are unapologetic about their passion, sensuality and strength. And we’re here for it. Bravo.
