The idea behind this exhibition is to get back to the musée Nicéphore Niépce’s original policy with regard to contemporary photography that takes a stand against the art market and its institutionalisation, refusing to double the collections constituted by other museums. The museum’s choices include support for French and international new work, artist in residence programmes, the constitution of a collection of pieces that manage to give a complete vision of the career of a given artist and producing prints under the supervision of the photographers. This has opened the museum’s collections up to a reflection on the world and the photographic medium as a whole through the expert eye of the artist.
