#3 CURATED BY JONAS CUÉNIN: IMAGES D'AMÉRIQUE
JUNE 26 THROUGH AUGUST 26
“America is my adopted home. It was in New York that I discovered photography; it became my greatest passion there, and I met some extraordinary photographers. So the only way I could respond to L’Inaperçu’s invitation was with a selection of photo books tracing the history of photography in the United States, as captured by American photographers. It reflects what is most cherished there: diversity. You’ll find all genres represented, yet they don’t really stand out, and the styles aren’t truly distinguishable. It’s a way of paying tribute to the American cultural melting pot, which, in my view, represents this country’s greatest human and artistic achievement.”
