    About Latitudes: Nuits Balnéaires and François-Xavier Gbré

    At the International Center of Photography in New York, *Latitudes: Nuits Balnéaires* brings together work by François-Xavier Gbré within ICP’s exhibition program. The project traces coastal nightscapes and built environments shaped by tourism, migration, and the afterlife of colonial planning, reading the shoreline as a border as much as a destination. Gbré’s photographs treat architecture as evidence, not backdrop, letting small details carry the social record. In the city’s current debates on public space and displacement, the show lands with quiet relevance.
