"Juste à côté"

With “Juste à côté”, Géraldine Lay embraces an oblique way of seeing. Turning away from the spectacular, she lingers at the edges of the visible, where attention slows and meaning gathers. Streets, thresholds, passing gestures—these transitional spaces become charged presences under her gaze. A soft, slanting light discloses subtle correspondences and quiet intensities, shaping a visual language of nuance and restraint. “Juste à côté” invites us to dwell in the in-between, to shift our vantage point, and to rediscover the quiet radiance of the everyday.

The gallery
Sit Down Gallery, founded in 2005 by Françoise Bornstein, has for twenty years been committed to promoting contemporary photography with a distinctive voice, rooted in a documentary approach to reality. The gallery stands out for its constant commitment to the artists it represents, whether emerging, mid-career, or established on the international scene. It supports photographic projects that explore and question the medium in its ability to narrate, document, and reveal the world. The gallery favors projects with a strong narrative dimension, connected to social, historical, or environmental issues. It also welcomes artists who explore the boundaries of photography, engaging with other media or challenging its mimetic function.
