Play & Replay

In a lucid, poetic or critical way, Dorothée Baumann, Christina de Middel, Isabelle Le Minh and Michel François play and replay with the existing codes of images emanating from an encounter with other mediums (painting, sculpture), with the history of photography or with the scientific world.

On the ground floor, within the framework of his project of diffusing his posters, Michel François invites the public to take a poster specially produced for the occasion. The posters of Michel François will also be disseminated in the Mulhouse area. These urban posters will be photographed and their documentation will be the subject of a restitution in the exhibition space, throughout the summer.

The second floor is invested by three individual exhibitions, the themes of which intersect, the three photographers rendering visible their visions of the future and the impact of images at the heart of different technological systems:

Dorotheé Baumann invites the spectator to photograph himself using a camera which photographs auras; the images are displayed in relation with photographs which make reference to the tools used by researchers in the domain of neuroscience.

Christine De Middel proposes a photographic fiction based on a project to conquer Space which was developed by Zambia in 1964.

Isabelle Le Minh questions even the technology of photography, its challenges and its displacements at the centre of the creative processes of contemporary artists.
