Bernard Plossu Retrospective at MAMCS Strasbourg

exhibition · 2026-04-23

The Musée d'art moderne et contemporain in Strasbourg, France, hosted a retrospective of French photographer Bernard Plossu from February 16 to May 27, 2007. The exhibition's epigraph, 'In photography, one does not capture time, one evokes it,' encapsulates Plossu's approach, which favors a 'poor' photography aesthetic using unsophisticated equipment. Over forty years, beginning with his 'Mexican journey' in 1965, Plossu has developed a personal and autonomous photographic and visual language.
