Les Rencontres d’Arles, the world’s most prestigious multi-venue photography festival, returns to the southern French town for its 55th edition this summer.

Photography encapsulates both transience and permanence—freezing a singular, fleeting moment in time, one that will never occur again, and preserving it eternally. This is at the heart of what Ning Kai & Sabrina Scarpa do. The Sino-Dutch visual artists, partners in both life and work, create captivating imagery that conveys the beauty, spirituality, and temporality of nature.
