Régis Durand Criticizes 1990 Mois de la Photographie
Régis Durand condemns the vague structure of the 1990 Mois de la Photographie, arguing its three main sections have a negative impact on the festival. The Japan section is a major disappointment. The "Fragments d'un discours social" section is a catch-all, though it includes some of the best exhibitions. The "Spectacles et mythes" section is a recurring feature of every edition, as celebrities remain an inexhaustible attraction.
