"The Cinegraphy of Bernard Plossu" at the Ziem Museum
The part of chance that hides in any biography has made that Bernard Plossu lives for several years in La Ciotat, mythical place of the origins of cinema. And it is cinema that is almost, in secret, at the origin of the man of images that is Bernard Plossu. «Everyone thinks they know where I come from as a photographer, what has constituted my imagination and my culture, but nobody knew until now that it is perhaps from cinema that I really come, at least the most». This photographer Alain Bergala calls «filmmaker of the moment» has kept track of the mythology of American cinema that built it through pictures of movie theaters, most often abandoned places, wastelands of small towns in the American West.
"Cinés Méditerranée" by Stephan Zaubitzer at the Annonciade Chapel
For 20 years, photographer Stephan Zaubitzer traveled the world in search of cinemas, active or disused, to capture them in the large format room, frontal and without effect. By making an inventory of these architectures governed by the laws of optics, he delivers a testimony under the seal of memory.
Cinés Méditerranée focuses on five countries on the southern shore: Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon.
