Épreuves de la matière. La photographie contemporaine et ses métamorphoses
How do photographers represent natural or artificial materials? How do they interrogate matter using their own technical and artistic means? Why do they hybridize photography with the graphic arts or video? The question of matter runs through the history of photography. Putting matter to the test of photography and photography to the test of matter: this is the purpose of the BNF exhibition, from which this book has selected 40 photographs, followed by 4 essays from which a new matter emerges: that of reflection.
Under the supervision of Héloïse Conesa
Co-published by the(M) éditions and BnF Éditions
