    Guided by Golgotha Studio, students from the Photography Master’s at ECAL have explored potential advantages and drawbacks of the Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) processes by investigating their illusionary powers. During Paris Photo, an immersive installation will guide you through a labyrinthine space, a physical translation of the complexity of our relationship to photographic media.

    During Paris Photo, Le Bal is showing Dialogues with Solitudes by Dave Heath. As early as the 1950s, he is one of the first to express so radically, particularly in his manifesto A Dialogue with Solitude (1965), the sense of alienation and isolation inherent to modern times. As the first major presentation of his work in France, the exhibition brings together about 150 vintage prints and original models.
