Antoine d’Agata is without doubt one of the most unique and important photographers of our age.

His work has been published in the books Insomnia, Vortex, Stigma and Agonie amongst others, and he has been exhibited internationally at galleries and festivals including Rencontres d’Arles, Noorderlicht, FotoFreo and The Photographers Gallery, London.He has been a member of Magnum Photos since 2004 and is represented by Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire in Paris.
