SEE THE TIME IN COLOUR. THE CHALLENGES OF PHOTOGRAPHY

CENTRE POMPIDOU-METZ

The exhibition "See the time in colour. The Challenges of Photography" takes a look at the history of photography, questioning the very nature of the medium in the light of the multiplication of digital images. In this investigation, exhibition curator Sam Stourdzé proceeds through friction, hybridization, contamination and confrontation, decompartmentalizing the discipline.

 

The exhibition is a reminder of the importance of photography in the discovery of the world as we know it. Photography makes us see, and afterwards we take it for granted, sometimes forgetting that capturing the image of the world, beyond its political subjectivity, is also a technical challenge.

Through three major figures - Brancusi, Edgerton and Saul Leiter - the exhibition looks back at some of photography's greatest achievements.
