Mois de la Photo 1996: Crossed Itineraries
The 1996 Mois de la Photo in Paris featured consensus retrospectives including William Klein: New York, 1954-55, Paysages de Magnum, Pierre et Gilles: 20 ans (1976-1996), and a tribute to Willy Ronis. Other exhibitions revolved around the theme 'Un Art en partage', with 'Double vie, double vue' emphasizing the intrinsically photographic notions of duality and multiple exemplarity. A second theme, 'Ailleurs', was addressed by artists such as Magdi Senadji, Connie Sullivan, and Dominique Auerbacher, avoiding the pitfalls of exoticism or conventional reportage that tripped up many others.
