Vue de l'exposition
 

L'Espace VOX and Le Mois de la photo à Montréal present a exhibtion wich bring together works from four artists around the theme "Now. Images of Present Time".

Now that the photograph has ceded its monopoly over the depiction of factual history to visual forms more expedient in relaying the shocks of current events, what "experience" of the present are we brought to through contemporary photography? From local dramas to international news, from miscellaneous trivia to historical records, how do contemporary photographic practices interpret what is going on around us? Taking note of the historical legacy of photojournalism and its spin-offs in the field of contemporary artistic practice, the 8 th presentation of Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal intends to take stock of the most innovative artistic approaches to the representation of events.
