Crossed Over Gaze is the first exhibition organized by Rubis Mécénat in 2011 at the Diana Nikki Marquardt Gallery, Paris.

With a passion for the great masters of humanist photography and photojournalism, Cyprien Clément-Delmas gives “stolen moments” from the streets of Paris, Barcelona, the desert of Israel, and the Eastern countries.

His short film Luciano, co-directed with Dani de la Orden, marks the beginning of his work as filmmaker.

Cyprien Clément-Delmas

Cyprien Clément-Delmas (b. 1986) is a French photographer and film-maker who lives and works in Barcelona.

Adopting a documentary approach, he embeds himself in communities and creates intimate and realistic portraits over several years. His first full-length documentary film, Boy of War, follows a young Ukrainian soldier going to the front. Several of his short films have won awards at festivals (Intrusion, Day One, The Last Tape). He combines this with his work for Rubis Mécénat, running photography workshops with young people in the townships of Johannesburg (South Africa) with Of Soul and Joy, and in Kingston (Jamaica) with InPulse. He also leads workshops in prisons.
