For its 32nd edition, the Visa pour l’Image festival is maintained and adapted.
“In these tumultuous times where the line between opinions and facts is becoming increasingly blurred every day, where unverified information animates debates from social networks to television sets, we believe that Visa pour l’Image can bring several things that the era seems sorely lacking. From substance, nuance and perspective. Again, and again, the essence of photojournalism” –– Jean Francois Leroy, General Manager

Each night, at the corner of 77th and Lexington at 7pm, the healthcare workers at Lenox Hill Hospital come outside, and local residents express their gratitude. I have seen the woman in the photograph (Nora) every time. Usually she does not want to be photographed, but this time she stopped to look me and my camera in the eye for a good while. Certain expressions and people embody the mood of a moment. Here Nora’s eyes spoke for all of us: confused fear and hope for our future, for our health and survival, while ready to engage in the present so as to reach the future.
