La Ville de Paris présente au salon Paris Photo 2026 !

On the occasion of celebrating the bicentenary of the invention of photography, the City of Paris chose to address the theme of alterations this year, to highlight the fragility of the medium and its constituent materials, as well as its remarkable longevity when properly preserved.

The booth will feature photographs belonging to the didactic collection of the D3P as well as the Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris (BHVP) and the Fonds d’Art contemporain – Paris collection in order to illustrate various types of common alterations, characteristic of ancient processes such as daguerreotypes or ambrotypes, through to contemporary photographs.

This booth will also pay tribute to all the professionals who have worked for some fifty years to safeguard photographic heritage and who will be honored during the international symposium "Le temps des épreuves", co-organized by the City of Paris from 9 to 11 November.

Access to the Paris Photo 2025 fair at the Grand Palais: admission fee.
