While every section of our exhaustive Paris Photo roundup can be enjoyed on its own, for those that want to start at the beginning or who need some further background on how these slideshows are organized/constructed, the first segment of the survey can be found here. The second, third, and fourth segments are here, here, and here.
This section covers the area to the far right of the fair, as seen from the entrance.

Silk Road Art Gallery (here): The weighty resigned sadness of a birthday cake. Newsha Tavakolian, priced at €10000.

School Olivier Castaing (here): Plastic swings turned menacing, with encroaching darkness and surreal green grass. Joakim Eneroth, priced at €8500.
Galerie Esther Woerdehoff (here): Clever conceptual popsicles made from dish sponges. PUTPUT, from a series of 14 images, priced at €600-€700 each.
