Overview
Based on an idea by William Klein, CONTACTS is a series of 33 essential films to discover the artistic itinerary of the most important contemporary photographers in the world from an original perspective: through the images selected and commented on by the author himself (sheets of contact, proofs or slides), we enter the secret universe of creative work, at the very heart of the process of making a photographic work.

Conceptual photography
Conceptual photography is explained by the great masters in this series from the Contacts collection.
-
E1 Alain Fleischer
Alain Fleischer expresses his taste for duplication and multiple experiments in his photographic work with very elaborate devices.
-
E2 Christian Boltanski
"What will be the image that will remain?" is the leitmotif of Christian Boltanski's photographic work.
-
E3 Hilla Et Bernd Becher
A journey through post-war industrial landscapes and new objective photography.
-
E4 John Baldessari
A student at San Diego State College from 1949 to 1957, John Baldessari produced paintings attempting to establish a relationship between painting and language.
-
E5 Georges Rousse
Georges Rousse or a different investigation of space, tracing hieroglyphic writing on the walls and floors.
-
E6 Martin Parr
Born in Great Britain in 1952. Focusing on the blemishes of Western society, Martin Parr's lens takes aim at hyper-consumerism, packaged leisure and boredom in a derisive slant on our ways of life. His work deciphers social codes using a particularly subversive rule: lucidity is inseparable from humour.
-
E7 Roni Horn
Born in the United States in 1955. Roni Horn's journey in photography is that of a highly unusual initiation. It takes its source in graphic design, explores sculpture, questions writing, then returns to the essential: the subtle grammar of signs and images, Iceland is his subject of predilection, the entry point into his relationship with the world as well as the metaphor of her work: life is made of cycles in which time, nature, death, the visible and invisible call and answer each other.
-
E8 Thomas Struth
Born in Germany in 1954. Struth strips bare the structures of our cities, lives and dreams. His photographs reveal the relationship between urban space, social group and the representation of the sub-conscious.
-
E9 Wolfgang Tillmans
Born in Germany in 1968. Abstracts, portraits, landscapes or still lives, Wolfgang Tillmans engages every traditional photographic form in order to revolutionize approach and perception. Beyond its documentary value, his work reveals the true nature of viewpoint: an invisible line linking the artist's inner landscape to his or her subject without failing to impact the viewer.
-
E10 John Hilliard
Born in Great Britain in 1945. John Hilliard has adopted a conceptual approach to modern photography that questions the norms of photographic language and practices. His work constantly probes the proces of making images: what is light ? Can the film freeze time ? Is the subject what we see ? Can our vision of reality do without fiction ?
