In a week, the 53rd Rencontres d’Arles Festival will open.
We are devoting the whole week to it.
The first indications: an interesting but very artistic program.
All the other components of photography have almost disappeared.
Decision-making centers have become multiple and decentralized.
It is no longer the Rencontres d’Arles Festival but that of the whole region.
The Off, open, creative, free and friendly seems dead, replaced by a pack of merchants who have tracked down the smallest shop to make it a place where the first word is how much!
We will tell you!
All our archives presented over the next 2 weeks are dedicated to this Festival that we loved.
Look at them: they are a masterpiece of nostalgia!
