Mohamed Bourouissa, La fenêtre, 2005, © Mohamed Bourouissa, Courtesy Yossi Milo Gallery, New York and Galeries Les Filles du Calvaire, ParisBourouissa's subjects are the African and Arab youths of Paris's explosive banlieues, seen in charged encounters, usually between groups of boys on the street. The standoffs are staged and carefully lit, but the tension still crackles, especially in one big picture, where a scattering crowd looks poised between celebration and riot. Strikingly topical when they were made, Bourouissa's photographs still pack a punch.

Review: Mohamed Bourouissa at Yossi Milo
A French photographer whose work was included in the New Museum's "Younger Than Jesus" exhibition, in 2009, makes his New York gallery début with a knockout group of large-scale color images that could almost pass for photojournalism.
