Solo exhibitions
D-Day Remembered
World War II Museum, New Orleans (Louisiana) — May 28 / August 30, 2026
Beginning in 1994 with the 50th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, French photographer Fabrice Bourge documented these events from a deeply personal perspective. Working beyond official stages and formal ceremonies, he focused his lens on the human moments unfolding in the crowd — quiet embraces, expressions of gratitude, moments of silence, and fleeting encounters between generations. Influenced by the candid style of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Fabrice Bourge’s photographs capture the emotions of remembrance and reveal how the memory of World War II continues to resonate decades later.
D-Day Remembered
Eisenhower Museum, Abilene (Kansas) — June 1 / November 11, 2024
Forty black-and-white photos of the D-Day commemorations in Normandy taken between the 50th anniversary in 1994 and the 75th in 2019. Since he was neither a journalist nor a reporter — and therefore lacked accreditation to attend the official ceremonies — Fabrice Bourge documented another side of these events. Influenced by the French photojournalist Henri Cartier-Bresson, he focused on observing the crowds and the individuals participating in these commemorations. This perhaps reveals what the official photographs do not show — a more intimate side, with each image telling its own story.
Seven Locations with my Seven-League Boots

Louisiana from within
Verson (Normandy) — March 19 / March 31, 2001Vire (Normandy) — April 20 / May 20, 2001
Since his first trip in 1987, Fabrice Bourge has been visiting Louisiana regularly, where he photographs — often instinctively — the environment and the daily lives of its inhabitants.This long-term project is influenced by Henri Cartier-Bresson, who was often interested in what lay behind the scenes, and by Walker Evans, who photographed poverty in the southern states of the United States in the 1930s.

The quality of the prints allows viewers to perceive not only the three-dimensionality but also the “depth” of the subjects.
