The memory of the future : photographic dialogues between past, present and future

Musée de l'Elysée Lausanne

Les Éditions Noir sur Blanc

The Memory of the Future. Photographic Dialogues between Past, Present and Future strikes a chord between the works created by the pioneers of the first photographic processes and those of contemporary artists. From the revival of old techniques to the mise en abyme of historical works through contemporary reinterpretations, the aim of this catalogue is to present a counter-history of photography : timeless, that is to say, intervisual. Even if an image endures, the way we see it never ceases to evolve. In this way, the works of the future shed a new light on the masterpieces of the past through the prism of our contemporary perspective.
