Conference - A Massive Challenge

The Institut pour la photographie brings together the perspectives of institutions, photography agencies, and photographers to discuss archive management, its history, and its evolution from analog to digital. 

The second day will be devoted to the theme of the research and creation support program launched by the Institute in 2018: Photography as a Medium of Communication .

The dissemination of photography will be explored through its visual forms: from prints to books and digital media, from stock photography to shared photography, and from postcards to political magazines. Navigating between the material history and cultural history of images, the event will explore the use of photographs in cinema, contemporary art, the media, and politics. 

Catarina Boieiro, Aurélien Froment, Audrey Leblanc, Christel Pedersen, and Raquel Scheffer are conducting their research with support from the Institute’s Program.
