The Analog Chronicles will be exhibited until February 15, 2025, at the 99 Cameras Museum, located in Studio Harcourt, in Paris.
This exhibition brings together five photographers – Mathias Depardon, Ismail Ferdous, Théo Giacometti, Gaia Squarci, and Alessandro Silvestri – who photographed the summer of 2024 with five iconic cameras, manufactured between 1935 and 1964. These documentary photographers, renowned for their discerning appreciation of today’s world, embraced the challenge of creating a series that engages with the history of analog photography.
Mathias Depardon (Widelux F6), Ismail Ferdous (Contax 1), Théo Giacometti (Canon 7), Gaia Squarci (Nikon F), and Alessandro Silvestri (Kodak Retina 117) captured southern European landscapes, swimming, playing, walking, and intimate family moments—those simple, sweet moments that define summer. This project continues the tradition of professional photographers documenting their own lives as artistic work, alongside their commissions and long-term projects on global issues.
Founded in 2023 by Federico Benincasa, the 99 Cameras Museum offers an intimate look at the technical feats of 20th-century photography.
