. Stanley Greene, a large-format 100x150cm print from the series Western Front. Taken at the end of the 1970s in San Francisco, Western Front immerses the viewer in the world of punk rock. The photographs serve as the artist’s diary, showing the sense of urgency felt by these young anarchists. They foreshadow the photographer’s later style and approach. Today Greene is a celebrated war photographer.

. Ethan Levitas, 8 prints from his latest work, 3 Acts.
Over the last decade, this American photographer has redefined street photography. ForPhotographs in 3 Acts (2011-2013), Levitas shoots from the perspective of working surveillance cameras, signalling their presence to passersby. Through this work, the artist goes beyond his role as an observer and establishes a way to redefine the configuration of public space through photography.
. Daido Moriyama, platinum prints from “View from the laboratory”
After Letter to St. Lou, a seminal 1990 work in which Moriyama established a fictitious correspondence with Nicéphore Niépce, the inventor of photography who lived in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes. View from the laboratory (2013) is the next installment in that correspondence: photographs taken by Moriyama in Niépce’s studio.
