Matière Critique

‘If photography has today become largely dematerialized, certain artists have on the contrary, focused their work on the heart of its physicality.

The exhibition brings together eight artists with their own experimental practices. lt sees their voices as forms of resistance against the current deluge of digital images, their standardisation and their obsoles­cence. By favouring slow, complex and often ancient processes, by cultivating the pictorial dimension of photochemistry, by welcoming or even causing mistakes and imperfections, the research presented highlights certain pitfalls and challenges posed by our contemporary society.’
