The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson and the Fondation d’Entreprise Hermès are presenting The Inhabitants, an exhibition by Raymond Meeks, until January 5, 2025.
The Fondation d’Entreprise Hermès provides long-term support for the visual arts, particularly through the Immersion program, a Franco-American photographic commission. Launched in 2014, this program aims to support contemporary photography in France and the United States.
In partnership with the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris and the International Center of Photography in New York, the Hermès Corporate Foundation has imagined a system of cross-residencies between France and the United States to encourage the production of series of original works giving rise to exhibitions in these two institutions as well as dedicated publications. On the principle of alternation, in turn a French photographer stays in the United States and an American photographer carries out his residency in France. The winner, chosen by an international jury of experts, benefits from a scholarship and support from the publishing sponsor, a recognized professional in the world of photography.
