Artpress Dossier: Photography as a Crusade for the Blind

publication · 2026-04-24

The November 1986 issue of Artpress features a dossier titled "Comment voir la photo ? : Croisade pour les aveugles" (How to see the photo? Crusade for the blind). The text argues that photography is an art of time, which is why the Institution takes an interest in it. However, while the Institution relies on photography's testimony, it cares little about its dissemination.
