WHERE IS THE IMAGE LOCATED ? UPSTREAM AS WELL AS BEYOND ITS REPRESENTATION

Rencontre The Eyes Talks
The photographer, like the viewer to a different extent, is concerned by the image in a dimension that goes beyond its final representation: what are the motivations in the pre-photographic process? What place does the notion of time have in the creation of the cliché? What role does the materiality or imperfections of the medium play?
The Eyes Talks led by Vincent Marcilhacy, associate director of The Eyes.
With Taous Dahmani, curator of the 2022 Louis Roederer Discovery Award, photographer Sandra Brewster (Blur) and photographer Lukas Hoffmann (EVERGREEN).

THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROFESSION. EXPLORING COMMISSION IN THE 1930S

Meeting
At the turn of the 1930s, the increasing use of photography in advertising fosters new professional opportunities for photographers. Who takes part in the commissioning of photographs? What are the dynamics between visual creation and economy? What is therefore at stake?

With Gaëlle Morel, curator of the exhibitions Lee Miller, professional photographer (1932-1945), and Blur by Sandra Brewster.
