The Galerie Adrian Bondy presents an exhibition by Colette Pourroy entitled States of the Soul. The photographer introduces it thus.

Photographic memory When I came back to live in this neighbourhood that I left ten years ago, I was surprised to see that the decor of the café on my street corner had not changed despite the change of owner.
