Réinterpréter la photographie ancienne

This workshop draws on a collection of old black-and-white photographs dating from the years 1900-1950. These images represent both a nod to the beginnings of photography in the wake of the first experiments by Nicéphore Niépce and a valuable record of photographic practices of the time.

Often taken in a studio, these photographs portray individuals alone or in groups: family portraits, childhood memories, tribute to a departed loved one; they reveal a particular focus on posture, decor, furniture, and a certain solemnity characteristic of the visual codes of the early twentieth century.
