The Institut pour la photographie is supporting photographer Maxime Brygo in the production and presentation of his "archaeological project" based on the film-based photographic archives (1970–1990) from the DRAC's regional archaeological collection.

By experimentally exploring the materiality of these previously unpublished visual archives, Maxime Brygo examines their documentary significance and reimagines the world of archaeology.

Since 2023, Julien Pitinome has been working on a long-term project exploring the tradition of family portraits. 

The Institut pour la photographie is seeking partners for various residencies to enable Julien Pitinome to document the diversity of the population in the Hauts-de-France region by continuing his work in the Avesnois area and on the Opal Coast. The Institute supports the production of exhibitions showcasing his completed work, such as the one at La Condition Publique in Roubaix in 2026. 

As part of the International Garden Festival—Hortillonnages Amiens 2025, Hideyuki Ishibashi is transforming a floating island with a permanent installation that combines photography, plants, and the memory of the site. By exploring the Makyo, a Japanese “magic mirror” from the 1st century B. C., he uncovers a fascinating optical phenomenon: microscopic irregularities on the mirror’s surface generate hidden images. 

This mysterious object inspired him Retina , an installation through which he explores the relationship between what can be seen and what escapes our perception. Etched almost imperceptibly onto copper plates, images of plants and vegetables once grown in the Hortillonnages appear fleetingly thanks to the reflection of sunlight off the surface of tiltable discs, which visitors are invited to manipulate.  

the artwork will be on view from May 22 to September 21, 2025, and can be accessed by boat or on foot. In partnership with Verbrugge Performance Coatings.
