The collective Tendance Floue is celebrating its 25 years in 2016 with, a little in advance, the exhibition ‘Twenty five? Hey, give me five!’ until 17th October in Paris at the Topographie de l’Art to celebrate this quarter century. L’Oeil de la Photographie is dedicating two editions (today and tomorrow) to the collective of French photographers and reviewing its history: from its birth up to today…and bringing up their projects of tomorrow.
“We met by accident, at the beginning of the 90s. We were young and crazy about photography. We had a kitchen, a lab, time, desires and some cameras. We knew what we didn’t want to do. We watched the world and the world of photography. We sought to do things differently. We chose to share and exchange around photography, to see if it was possible to live together,
We were more together after we established in 1991 a weekly meeting that saw the birth, during a meal washed down with plenty of wine in a smoky room, the collective “to be”, and where very soon, the federating slogan burst forth: “Freedom? Yes! Individuality? No!”
