La Photographie après l'image
Drawing on the work of thirteen contemporary artists, the NEO-ANALOG exhibition presents itself as the manifesto of an international movement that marks one of the most recent phases in contemporary photography.
Since the 2010s, certain photographers working within the field of contemporary art have turned away from image-making to explore the materiality of photography. The fundamentals—light, time, photosensitive substances, the tangibility of supports, etc.—emerge as an alternative vocabulary in contrast to advanced technologies. As “counter-cultural” propositions, being foreign to the mainstream imagery of the media, these photographs assert the potential of the analog, that is, any experimentation undertaken in direct contact with the real. It is no longer a matter of a “gaze upon,” but of activating processes in which the physics and chemistry of materials unfold new possibilities.
Artists: Sylvie Bonnot, Véronique Bourgoin, Arina Essipowitsch, Marie Hazard, Yanis Houssen, Sara Imloul, Laurent Lafolie, Hanako Murakami, Raphaëlle Peria, Catherine Poncin, Mathieu Roquigny, Laure Tiberghien, and Dune Varela.
Partner: The International College of Photography.
