    Marc Barbey, Collector and Founder of Collection Regard, Berlin. Collection Regard is the photographic collection of Marc Barbey focusing on German photography, especially photography related to Berlin. Marc Barbey is administering the estate of Hein Gorny (1904-1967). Acting as an archive as well as an exhibition space, publishing house and gallery, Collection Regard deliberately takes a position between museum and gallery.

Publications and art events in form of Salons Photographiques accompany the exhibitions that are also sent on tour. Marc Barbey (*1971) grew up in Paris and studied international business at the Grande École (ESSCA) in Angers, France, and the Heriott Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. The international businessman has been active in sales and business developments positions in the metal industry as well as the software business. In 2003 he moved to Berlin and founded a family. Berlin is the birthplace of his private collection and since 2016 he dedicates himself completely to the development of the different activities of Collection Regard.
    Interview with Marc Barbey recorded by Michael Dooney on 5. July 2022 at the Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation in Arles, France.
