The third edition of the festival Circulation(s) that took place in Bagatelle Park in Paris last March was with 28’000 visitors a very successful experience. Offering a fresh perspective on Europe through photography, the Festival Circulation(s) set to light 43 young photographers, who were invited to exhibit their work to a large public in a unique place.
This success has determined Fetart to launch the fourth edition of the festival Circulation(s) for the first time at the CENTQUATRE, a multidisciplinary culture space at the east of Paris. This fourth edition will take place in February 7th to march 16th, 2014 leading the festival Circulation(s) to become a major annual event devoted to contemporary photography.
