#Guest- Dec 18, 2021 - Feb 18, 2022
Photos - without retouching or special effects - of the unusual of everyday life, when two elements of the decor contradict or complement each other. Shots made for 30 years all over France. A non-invasive street-art with a sometimes tender, sometimes corrosive humor that often allows serious topics to be addressed (pollution, death, desertification of city centers, etc.) with a smile, the photographer's objective being to look at reality in farce.
Five books of Photolescopages have already been published and some of these images edited into black and white postcards.
Five editions are on sale during the exhibition at the price of 15€.
