(Au) revoir photographie, exposition monographique d'Israel Arino

As part of the Bicentenary of Photography, the CCC wanted to celebrate the art of diversion and photographic material by offering a carte blanche to the Catalan photographer Israel Arino. In his works, Israel stages images that cling to reality in order to better subvert it.

This photographer and publisher explores the different narratives of photographic images so as to look upon photography more closely as the art of the fake.

He thus roots his practice in the origins of photography, around the work of Hippolyte Bayard, when reality was adorned with fiction to better reveal itself, when a place for suspicion was still possible in the face of images that asserted, against all scientific definition, the imagination opened up by creation.
