Arles opens today.
After two years of abstinence, the world of photography is renewing with its most important festival.
2 years of famine, changes in habits and altered behaviors.
Above all, the future of Arles today is made up of question marks!
Arles tomorrow will no longer be coupled with Photography but to Contemporary Art through Luma.
What will become of this monument of nostalgia for the still image?
Its centralizing force has waned and a dozen suitors are showing their appetite for independence.
And especially for the great treasure abandoned on the sidewalk: the Off, a thousand and one Christ, Buddha or Mahomet promise if they are chosen its dazzling return!
In short: this is probably one of the most unexpected festivals that we are going to attend.
Jean-Jacques Naudet
