VISIBLE OR INVISIBLE, A SUMMER REVEALED

July 4 — September 25

Saying that this will be a summer of revelations is almost stating the obvious. How can we be made to see what is staring us in the face but takes so long to appear, as if the revelation could only be a forced birth? Artists, especially photographers, are there to remind us what we do not want to see or hear. Every summer, the Rencontres d'Arles shakes up the way we look at things from one continent to another. They remind us of our absolute need to exist.

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).
