Opening week’s unmissable festive event is back after a two-year hiatus. Visitors can take a visual promenade on the abandoned industrial site of the Papeteries Étienne, opened especially, to see over forty photographic proposals projected in a loop on giant screens (including one dedicated to Ukraine) or in the form of installations.
This big photography party offers favorites, cartes blanches to institutions, performances, concerts, DJ sets, food trucks, and bars.


DJ SETS

DJ PAXTON
DJ Paxton takes over the decks for an energetic, eclectic set.

REDA SAIARH
With a wide, uninhibited repertoire between rave and club, Reda Saiarh has one goal: to make us dance.

NAOMIE KLAUS
Naomie Klaus loves performance. She does a live tightrope show inviting us to join her in-between zone.

GLITTER55
In his powerful, airy sets, GLITTER55 plays intensely syncopated mixes boosted by rhythmic breakbeats and gqom.


PERFORMANCES 

SHLAGMIN & YUGNAT999
MEMORAMA 
A cringe exchange between two memers who echo each other, an intermemetic ping pong game in the tradition of literary cafés and a digital discussion geared towards disruptive young creatives.

SAMUEL FASSE 
BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK - CHAPTER 2
Chapter two of the traveling performative project But the Flesh Is Weak complicates depictions of bodies. How do machines perceive and capture them? Through the use of plants and detours, visual, sculptural and sound material becomes a moving, hybrid and self-sufficient entity.
