43e rencontres internationales de la photographie

A FRENCH SCHOOL
"With an inflated market paying astronomical sums for the work of graduates of the schools at Düsseldorf (objectivity) and Yale, and the British school (light and staging) being recognized as an informal movement with Martin Parr at its head, there is every reason for us to see what has become of the 640 or so students from Arles, as an emanation of the Rencontres. "
François Hébel, Director of the Rencontres d'Arles.

"A unique educational establishment, totally devoted to what defines it in an exemplary way - art, photography, the image - the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie is now thirty years old. Thirty years during which the still (and sometimes moving) image has never stopped being practiced and studied, passionately, in all its particularities, beyond what its smooth surface shows us of life."
Rémy Fenzy, Director of the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie
d'Arles.
