Two Paris Exhibitions Rethink Photography's Boundaries

exhibition · 2026-04-23

The Centre Georges-Pompidou in Paris is staging 'La photographie en miettes', an exhibition that shifts focus from subject matter to the physical manipulation of photographic prints and negatives. Concurrently, Christian Gattinoni's new show bridges photography with the humanities, pairing five photographers with five writers or critics. Both exhibitions, covered in the November 1991 issue of artpress, explore expanded definitions of the medium.
