5 November 2008 - 25 January 2009

Focusing on technological and artistic changes in the world of photography, the exhibition offers a selection of videos made by European artists. A growing number of artists are using video, and this is changing the specific criteria that define both crafts. Apart from the diversity of their aesthetic standpoints and of the visual techniques they use, the artists presented here encourage us to step beyond the territorial considerations and academic definitions that tend to ring-fence artistic fields, and to explore the boundaries that separate them.

Videos by: Peter Aerschmann, Gast Bouchet & Nadine Hilbert, Christoph Brech, Olga Chernysheva, Ori Gersht, Tuomo Rainio and Jutta Strohmaier.

Exhibition organized with the support of Alcatel-Lucent, principal sponsor and creator of the Alcatel-Lucent Prize for the European Month of Photography, Culturesfrance and the Mairie de Paris.
