LA PHOTOGRAPHIE FRANçAISE EXISTE… JE L’AI RENCONTRéE – GROUP SHOW

MAISON EUROPEENNE DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE, PARIS, FRANCE From 07/03/2018 to 20/05/2018

Back in the eighties, Jean-Luc Monterosso traveled to New York where he met MoMA’s photography collection curator. When he asked about his opinion on Contemporary French Photography, the curator simply replied : « It doesn’t exist ». Thirty years later, on the occasion of his departure from the MEP, Jean-Luc Monterosso answers back with an extensive exhibition dedicated to French Photography from the eighties to nowadays under the forms of a really personal and subjective narrative.
